LeBron's legacy is just fine. The guy averaged a triple double in the finals ffs. What more is he supposed to do?
To some extent yes. But im not sure how beneficial it was to his legacy personally. The NBA is far more watered down now in my opinion to how it was 20 years ago. LeBron has benefitted a lot from a very weak conference. Not even sure it stops there, Lebron basically did the same thing when he went to Miami.

It's been recently published that all 8 teams LeBron has faced in the finals had a higher net playoff efficiency than the best team Jordan ever beat in the Finals. So even if a "watered down" league has helped him get to the finals, he's had a WAY tougher road than Jordan in the actual finals.
I'm not sure how that can be true or accurate given that LeBron's Cavs team this year had the highest payroll of ANY team in the NBA, while the Warriors had the 7th highest payroll. As the de facto GM for the Cavs, LeBron essentially assembled the Cavs teams since returning to the Cavs so if what you say is true, then LeBron has only himself to blame. Moreover, LeBron's Heat teams were almost always favored to win the NBA Championship.
Too bad she doesn't cheer for the Patriots dressed like this
False.

James has been to the Finals eight times, six of those as the Vegas underdog. Give that poker hand to anyone else in NBA history and see how many come up with three titles. See how many more could've been so statistically dominant in defeat as James has been.
The next sentence in that story is also telling.
We constantly hear about Jordan being a spotless 6-0 in the Finals, but we don't hear that Jordan was 6-7 in getting to the Finals in his 13 postseasons, and James is now 8-4 in his 12 postseasons.
People whose only argument is "6-0 in finals" aren't really intelligent enough to have this discussion with.
