[Shams/Woj] LeBron James to sign a 2-year, $104 million max deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Deal includes NTC.

The comparison is championships vs stats.
Lebron has the stats but a worse championship record despite playing with at least 2 HOF players in all except 1 series.

Russell vs Wilt in history do you really remember the 2nd place finisher.

Plus this is the 3ball Era that doesn't sound like Lebron

Dude is out here arguing that no one remembers Wilt.

Lebron is clearly ahead of curry but in terms of eras
Imo Lebron made the super team era contribution from 10-14 so first half of 2010s. Not really bc of success but bc it changed the nba landscape
But before that was mostly remembered for the spurs lakers era getting the 3 peat and repeat with Kobe and gasol. Spurs winning 4 in between those.

Then heatles superteam era,
Before the warriors 3 ball era.


I don't think anyone in the majority will see the nba as lebrons era from 07-21. Ofc technically it is Lebrons era but in the eyes of looking at the nba as a whole no one is calling those years the Lebron era. Even if he is the best player in a few of those years.
Not the same as the jordan/bulls era of the 90s

The difference is not just being the best player but dominating the competition for two 3 peats within 8 yrs. That's how you make an era.

That's where the Russell wilt comparison is. Wilts the better player imo. But we remember that time as the Russell Celtics era. But no one forgetting about wilt lol imo he's top 5.

Heatles time was short and they were .500 in the finals despite HOF talent.

Curry's efficiency and numbers (vs his peak years, so dont look at his first few years of the reg season) go down in the playoffs.

Lebron elevates in the playoffs

Russell had 5 mvps to Wilt's 4 and Russell's numbers didn't collapse in the playoffs like Wilt's did

Theres nothing Curry can do, hes an all time great, hes in that top 8-12 range, but hes just not a top 5 contender

You don't get there with 1 fmvp when theres guys with 3-6 fmvps

Work on reading comprehension no where in my post is that stated. I'm argueing Wilt is not the face of his time in the NBA.

2000's is Phil Jackson Lakers Kobe dominance

As a Lebron fan it's frustrating seeing that he basically gave up on his legacy now. This will be a garbage play-in team.

You're a later bloomer. Most Lebron fans gave up on him winning again after covid. To be more specific, the last time they openly had expectations for him to win was in the playoffs against the Suns where AD went down. Media and his fans claimed that Lebron would carry the Lakers into the sweep before they lost 4 games straight and claimed that Bron was injured.

After that, every season has been about praising Lebron's old age and stats.

How do you remember what his fans thought at that time if you can't even remember that series?
