Lebrons legacy if the Lakers dont make the playin?

[Bop Gun]

LeBron simply not built for the West.

 

[Trojan 24]

All of that typing doesn't negate the fact that he won a championship at the age of 35 as the top seed in the conference

AD's only full/healthy season out west and he got a ring to show for it

Seems bigger than missing the playoffs. This year has been very weird for Bron. Still scoring and playing well overall but the obvious stat padding and weird off the court antics just make this an ugly season. Especially when compared to how Giannis, Embiid, Luka, even KD etc have LED their teams this year. Something feels off. Perhaps this is the passive aggressive behavior of a man deathly afraid of failure and what it says about his brand. Who knows. But even without AD you can't really say this team ever looked dialed in or serious about winning and the lack of leadership from Bron is a factor. If he can score 50 points he can get back on transition defense. He can put more effort into practice and building chemistry.

He's about to go out with a whimper and I think it's obvious a looooot of players are tired of his antics.

You just compared Bron at 37 to a 27, 28, and 23 year old. You just validated his greatness, without knowing you were validating his greatness.

Did Kobe drop on your list after his last few years? Jordan after his Wizards years? Lebron is 37

Bored? He just finally accepted his attempt to declare himself as the GOAT flopped and he tapping out

 

[filial_piety]

he loses some credit imo...although his legacy is cemented....the MJ comparisons are moving away....he's clearly on the backend of his career but he was brought to LA with the expectation that they would scoop up a few more....so far they missed the POs in this first year...got a 2nd year bubble champsionship...and now he's looking at a missed playoff appearance again...try to rewrite the narrative all you want, but everyone thought that this was the team to beat for the next 4 years when he signed on..and so far they couold possibly be 2/3 in missing playoff appearances, so this is an L on his resume...they are underachieving by every measure

LeGBT being intellectually dishonest as usual, they know he came to LA to elevate his legacy in a desperate attempt to be the GOAT. But it flopped and it only cemented that the gap between him and MJ is as wide and vast as the Pacific Ocean, and whether you have him 2nd, 3rd, 4th... is irrelevant

 

[McPiff]

even KD etc have LED their teams this year

nets might not make it out the play in lol.

 

[Killer Instinct]

He can't get it done in the west (an exponentially weaker one than years past at that.) Good talent, nice career, but that'll be apart of his legacy, too. His passive aggressive antics won't go undocumented either, and it's why he consistently to demand his respect from his peers as opposed to it being given.

[Da King]

The most obvious stat padding year I’ve seen yet Westbrook gets all the blame

 

[FaTaL]

makes no difference, he probably just wants to go into the offseason
