 With Lebron James making his 6th consecutive finals in a row. I was wondering is it best to not make the finals with a weak team and take the L. Or just bow out in the Eastern Conference finals. We tend to really judge players on their records in the finals. People would look at his 2-4  overall record in the finals as not being a great winner. Do u think he rather just be 2 and 0 in the finals? In football quarterbacks are judged on Super bowl record. Wondering if the same thinking applies in the association. Tom Brady isn’t considering the best because he hasn’t won all his Super Bowls even though when he came out his teams were winning and the defense let him down. People consider Montana the greatest. I still think Brady is the best. So summing it up would you rather make 6 finals appearances in a row and loose a few or have an unblemished record finals.

 Winning the conference finals is an accomplishment in its self. Me personally, I’m trying to win every game I play.

 look at how much Blake Griffin struggled this year w/ injuries & mental fatigue from Just a run to the Conference Finals last year………..

He said he felt Completely exhausted at the beginning of the 2015/16′ season b/c he had Never been thru a Long playoff run…….. Many players struggle the year after making a Deep playoff run…….

I remember when Jordan left the game after 3 straight Rings…….. I remember how mentally & physically beaten down he was……… b/c Basketball is a Grind on All of the joints in a Human body………. & the Immense pressure to succeed just wears on a person’s Mind…….

Jordan Needed that 21 months away from Pro Basketball to decompress & recharge his batteries……….. I know about his father’s death & the Gambling Probe…… but Jordan was Famous for Always handling his business……… The guy was Also Exhausted mentally & Physically……

So for LeBron to take 6 Straight Conference Titles & reach the Finals w/ 2 different Franchises…… It’s a Mind boggling accomplishment…….. There is a Reason Only about 5 teammates from the Celtics Dynasty are the Only other players to do it………. & it’s been 50 years……….

 I think of LeBron a lot like I did Magic in his prime.  You put him on your team, you are probably playing for a title.  Once you get there, you win some and you lose some.  His legacy is a legitimate one.

 Say what you want about Lebron, but making it to 6 straight finals is a damn impressive accomplishment.  I think there hasn’t been a finals without Kobe, Lebron, Wade or Tim Duncan since 1999.  That’s nuts.
