Yes Jordan won every finals he made. He also lost in the first round 3 consecutive years after sneaking in with a losing record. That's a wash or IMO favors LeBron. LeBron won in the first round 14 times out of 14 tries. Consistency.
It's not that he ever lost, it's the context. I don't blame him for losing in Cleveland.
I will never consider a player losing in the NBA finals a negative on his resume. No way in hell. If that is a negative how much worse is losing in the first round.
How about LeBron missing the playoffs all together his first two seasons in the league...and also in 2019, 2022, and probably 2023? That's at least 4 missed playoffs all together...and most likely 5 after this season. BTW, he also lost inn the first round in 2021.
