One of the most talked about accomplishments of LeBron's entire career is that he went to EIGHT consecutive NBA finals. But how impressive of a feat was that actually when evaluating the competition he faced during the runs?

    The Heat were literally called a Super Team TM for a reason and were expected to WIN. Lebron is famous for bragging, "not 1, not 2..." and then immediately loses to a team that Wade had already beaten in the finals. It's one of the most laughable things in human history and I'm astonished that people defend this bs.

    Lebron fans: 73-9 ain’t a thing without a ring. Also Lebron fans: 10 finals appearances he must be the goat
  • @DarkWolf-407
    "Never have I once cheated the game" a statement said by no one. Unless they cheated the game.
  • @nagzz06
    LeBron Stans: Jordan is nothing w/o Pippen... Ok, now give me a list of Lebron's teammates during his runs 😏

    Side note on the first finals run. If you put cleveland and their 50 wins in the west that year, they would have played the Spurs in the first round. The team that swept them in the finals. Finals run in the east = first round exit in the west

    If you're a LeBron fan, losing is actually an argument for greatness... smh
  • @bowthor3203
    To add, Arenas didn’t even play in the 2007 1st round vs Cavs. So Wizards beside having a 41-41 record didn’t have the main player that let them have 41 wins in the first place.

    Bro I absolutely LOVE this. I've been screaming this FOR YEARS. And then people have the AUDACITY to say he's had to deal with the most pressure. This man has had the easiest road to Legendary status I've ever seen.

    LeBron is a media creation, no different than propaganda. The truth takes time and as time goes on the propaganda breaks down. The delusion wears off and people see clarity.

    Been watching basketball over 2 decades. Life long laker fan. I never disliked Duncan for beating Kobe, or Dirk for Beating Kobe. Because I respected them. I never disliked any player until Lebron. Because of the fake narratives & twisted numbers without context behind them. Thanks once again Skap for telling the truth 💯
  • @digiammar3969
    You should do a video about the MYTH that Lebron make his teammates BETTER. Most players that teamed up with Lebron ended up worse off and had a far worse career trajectory. The production drops off a cliff when players play with Lebron (stars AND role players alike), he is a stat vampire
  • @batman9512
    Yes, absolutely. When Shaq left Orlando for LA and Jordan retired a couple seasons later, the balance shifted heavily in favor of the West. The East has just a handful of chips in the last 25 years.
  • @tyrantmaou1730
    Getting swept in 3 different decades made him the greatest of all time
  • @DDHJunkHaulers
    Jordan won 5 of his 6 chips with the top 15 least scoring supportive cast. 2bof those years they were the worst scoring supportive cast of all time.

    If LeBrons legacy isn't dead yet.......it's in a coma....This dude is beating lebrons legacy into a unrecognizable corpse.

    Kevin Love was so underrated. His last ssn with the Wolves he led them to a better record than Kevin Garnett’s last 2 seasons there before the Boston move👀
  • @drewmeyer9679
    The western conference teams 1-8 were legit 50+ wins. The WCF felt like the actual finals. The top maybe 2-3 seeds in the East were 50+ wins.

    I saw something in another video that puts things into perspective when people say LeBron James faced tougher competition in the NBA finals than Michael Jordan faced. True, MJ never had to face an NBA champion juggernaut team like the mid-2010s Warriors (whom LBJ managed to beat only ONCE in 4 finals). But that's because MJ's Bulls WERE the NBA champion juggernaut team that kept all the other teams from winning rings. So the video asked this question: Which is more impressive - LBJ beating the juggernaut team of his era ONCE in FOUR finals; or MJ's team BEING the juggernaut team of his era which won SIX of SIX NBA finals? Because MJ's Bulls did something the mid-2010s Warriors were unable to do - 3-peat. And MJs bulls did this TWICE! So, NO, winning ONE finals and LOSING THREE to the Warriors does NOT make LBJ the GOAT, nor does going 4 of 6 in Finals make the Warriors a better team than the 1990s Bulls teams lead by MJ that 3-peated TWICE. In all 6 Finals he played, MJ was CLEARLY the best player on the court, while in all 6 of LBJs finals losses SOMEONE ELSE was the best player on the court, and in at least one (2011) LBJ wasn't even the best player on his own team. To paraphrase the self-proclaimed "Chosen One": "This right here shows EVERYONE that LBJ is NOT the Goat."
