How does one player go about blocking someone from a chip?

Unless we're talking 1950s/60s Boston (and that team was stacked, Bill Russell wasn't just "one player"), I can't think of any time in history where someone spent their career only going through one guy. Even when the Jordan/Pippen/PJ Bulls were kicking ass in the 1990s, Charles Barkley faced them, what, once? Payton faced them just once too. Malone and Stockton didn't face them until they were 35+ and the dozen other teams that beat up on them every year finally aged out.

Every other year a bunch of other guys blocked those exact same players from a chip.

Hell, Hakeem tore down the buildings and blocked Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Robinson, Shaq, and Penny all in ONE YEAR. But a lot of other guys blocked those same players in other years, so...?

Then it backfires. You're just saying, "Hey look, you beat a guy who couldn't win shyt in any other year either."

LeBron helped keep D-Rose, Westbrook, Harden, Jimmy Butler, and PG13 from winning chips (3 MVPs in that list). But those guys were losers in all the other years too even when they didn't face LeBron.

That's supposed to matter more than him beating legends like Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Kidd, Durant, Duncan, Steph, Kawhi, etc.....because those guys were proven winners? What kind of sense does that make?

MVP Harden
MVP Westbrook
MVP D-Rose

you'd think that would be a pretty good list if it wasn't such a dumb point in the first place

Who did MJ block. It’s not like Malone or Barkley or anyone in the east won during the 2 year retirement in his prime.
