Lebron-stans think winning one title gives Lebron a pass to lead a crappy team the rest of the time......

The Lakers missed the playoffs for six straight seasons before Lebron resurrected the franchise. Baylor, West, and Chamberlin didn't win multiple championships and all are hailed as Laker greats. That "championships" qualifier is some BS you guys throw in to justify being angry at Lebron. Lebron joined the franchise at 34, there weren't expectations for more than one championship.
How many times did Jerry West lead the Lakers to the finals? Nine times?
How many times did Lebron? Once? Oh, that's about equal.
How many times did Jerry West and Elgin Baylor miss the playoffs? Oh none...how many times has Lebron...once and there is a good chance it could two times.
Name one team that Lebron has been on that can equal the 1972 Lakers who have the record 33 consecutive games won, won 69 games and the title. Lebron has never been on an all time great team. He always has to try and beat all time great teams because he can't create one.
What player has the highest scoring average in the finals at 46.3PPG and is the only player in NBA history to be voted FMVP for the losing team...Jerry West.
As GM of the Lakers Jerry West delivered six championships...how many franchises has Lebron left in shambles, including currently destroying the 2022 Laker season, Lebron is on his 3rd franchise.
There is a reason why Jerry West is universally respected and is known as the Logo. Lebron will end his career known as the stat-padder....
You said Lebron only missed playoffs once... not accurate. Been more than once.
