If LeBron is only 1/3 the way to the summit of Mount Jordan

Post by thedangerouskitchen »

Where would you put Kobe:

Rings / FMVP
MJ: 6 / 6
LJ: 2 / 2
KB: 5 / 2

Is Willis Reed (2/2) 1/3 as well?

Not really because Walt Frazier should have won one of those FMVP's...

Scottie Pippen should've won 1 finals MVP, John Paxson should've won one, and Rodman should've won another. I can state baseless assertions also.

Is Jordan going to come out of retirement to get swept in the finals?

Sure, except people would laugh at you for making those claims.

:lol:


Now... getting back to the topic of the thread...

Or you could argue that he wasn't good enough to make it to 7 Finals.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Getting to the finals to lose isn't anything to brag about. You have to get it done when you get there period. I don't care if you go to 10 finals and win 3 rings. You aren't getting it done if that's the case.

Agreed...

You can get to the Finals with a great "team", but only the greatest OF the greatest get-it-done for their team once they get to the big dance.

Jordan's teams got there 6 times and MJ got it done all 6 times... in record-breaking, iconic fashion.

Kobe is 2 for 7 and LeBron 2 for 4... and the two of them combined have put up four -4- of the worst Finals performances of all time.


So again this begs the question: If LeBron is one-third to the summit, how far up is Kobe?

"Mount Jordan" is a weak 90s hill.
It's Mount Russell and Mount Jabbar

It all goes back to the question I asked back at ESPN:

How many titles as the "2nd" best player, does it take to equal 1 "Lead Dog" title?


Answering that question will make it ALOT easier to rank all the players.
