Biggest bust in sports history?

you mean Chuck?

Larry Brown would have fucked over any rookie they drafted because he didn't like playing rookies. Should be glad they wasted Darko instead of someone good.

it's not an accomplishment but neither it's something bad

saying "3-6" for lebron or "6-0" for jordan is something really stupid, and only americans do that

jordan won 6 rings, or had a 6-9 record, when you point out lebron's finals lost means you think reaching the finals is worse than getting eliminated in the first round

again, you can hardly call his appearances competition when its so easy to get there if you have even one superstar on the team

what did the east have?
Linsanity?
the corpse of the 08 celtics?

What said.

The East was pretty much garbage for the entirety of the decade until this season ironically. That's not to say the East still isn't worse, but looking at the teams that they had to compete against, it makes sense he made as many runs as he did through the 2010s.

So I should be saying
>3-13
for Lebron?

I'm not saying the east was strong or anything, just saying the "3-6" meme is stupid

You should say 3-9 or just that he's won 3 rings. Losing in the first round and losing in the finals is just the same. If anything, reaching the final is better than not making it

>3-9
3-12*

13 now

He can't choose who he plays with.
This. Its retarded and it's a joke someone as untalented as fucking Tom Brady is considered our greatest athlete when we've had so much better.

>He can't choose who he plays with.
he literally does. even chooses when a coach is fired and who they hire as replacement.

that was pretty cold bong

Biggest JUST, at least

he can because thats literally what he does. He just tried to trade 3/4ths of the current lakers roster for AD

>LeBron fans thinking he's comparable in any way to Jordan
It's getting less funny the more unironically they say it

Larry Brown is too based as a Rookie you better put up your shit on being the best If not then Larry will personally ruin your career.

On the same note, no team Jordan ever faced was even remotely as good as the Warriors

youre right, jordan never faced anybodygood

showtime lakers?
bad boy pistons?
bird and the celtics?
buncha bums

>first title was literally the showtime lakers
>karl malone and john stockton jazz

he's the biggest fraud in sports history. he is a good player sure but the media pushes the narrative that he is arguably an all time great, when larry bird had years where his stats were higher than lebrons in every category and lebron is basically a discount magic, yet people say we have never seen anyone like lebron.

also he dominated a shit conference and could only win 3 rings, not because he didn't have enough help (which is the media narrative again), but because he choked historically against the mavericks and that he has mostly choked in every finals where he doesn't have a closer like wade or irving to bail him out, also he cant hit free throws when it matters to showcase his mental weakness.

basically fuck lebron and fuck the media

>for some stupid reason
Imagine having a championship-gunning team full of veterans in their prime and then drafting wade, bosh or melo in there. You now have the pressure of switching this entire locker rooms focus from challenging for the title to babysitting this madly talented, future hall-of-famer guy who needs 30+ minutes and 20 shots per game. Darko was a safer bet; he wasn't as hyped as those guys so the pressure to play him was less; he was still mad talented. Sadly he was also a hothead who instead of putting his head down and working on improvement spent his Pistons years feuding with Americans who "didn't get him" and "wanted to put a good Serb down".

he is an all time great

are you stupid?

Cavs went from 50-32 to 19-63 over the last 2 years. They only changed one thing guess what it was.

>showtime lakers
>1991

lol the aids/over the hill Magic were far from being what they were in the mid 80s user.

literally the next AD

3 championships, 9 finals appearances, prior to this year was able to drag teams to the playoffs and beyond, averaged a triple double during his last finals appearance with a better FG% than Kobe "Chuck in le finals man" Bryant's average. Good passer and freakishly athletic earlier in his career. How is he not an all-time great?

The fact that that skinnyfat white guys with shit backs like Bird, angry manlets who can't shoot the 3 like like Isiah or hockey goons like Laimbeer were considered "elite" players illustrates how bad the competition Jordan faced actually was. Jordan is just Demar Derozan if you put him in a time machine, stuck him on a great team and gave him a green light to shoot whenever he wants.

here's your (you), you stupid fucking zoomer

go suck lefraud's knob some more since you clearly never watched basketball before 2007

Jordan is only a 6-16 scrub since we are considering playing a season and not winning a ring an L.

see

Mentally yes. Darko despised USA (he was a teenager when Clinton ordered NATO to bomb Serbia; this turned him into a strong supporter of the serbian right-wing chetnik movement) and he also thought that Americans are too cold and calculated as people. So in his own mind he was as good as dead in USA, a honest god-fearing Serb washed away on distant foreign shores, looking for a way back home. $52 million USD later, he found that way.

>losing to the dallas mavericks

>prior to this year was able to drag teams to the playoffs
teams that happened to have at least 3 fellow all stars on them. without that you get this season. lmao absolute FRAUD

No shame in that. Dirk shits on anyone that played for the Bad Boy Pistons.

>finals appearances
Aka Ls

Lakers fans were delusional for expecting him to take them to the playoffs. He came to LA because he's old and ready to retire.

>prior to this year was able to drag teams to the playoffs and beyond
That's because prior to this year, he played in the Leastern Conference.
Once he wasn't able to feast on bums he couldn't make it to the playoffs.

It’s so obvious that he’s completely checked out. His buddy cop comedy with The Rock should be coming out any day now

>A FUCKING LEAF

delete this

can't wait for the apologize posts when he wins a ring in LA ending the warriors dynasty

Stop this meme the west is a dumpster fire as well warriors are the only good team in the NBA.

be ready for the Zion hypetrain now

>trades half the team for AD
>begs kyrie or some other superstar to join him
>still gets eliminated in WCF because he's a n old bum

Superstar my ass, he couldnt even take his team to an 8th seed this year

he won't find another Kyrie to carry him vs the warriors

>be a 16yo sensation
>dubbed the best player since jordan
>get drafted #1 out of high school
>actually become the best player since jordan and manage to live up to an insane hype
literal opposite of a bust

>live up to the hype
>exposed as an east babby

It's literally going to be Kyrie. The Knicks superteam isn't going to happen now that they lost the lottery and staying in Boston is out of the question.

>manage to live up to an insane hype
>not 7, not 6, not 5...

I feel bad for him but he's doing much better again in Serbia

Is that "woman" a s*rb? Could tell me she's Syrian or Algerian and I'd believe you

>3-6
>advanced stats

this. Its just people like to see "the top" fail. Its insane that he pretty much lived up to the hype that has been following him since he was 15. 15!

Yeah he had a shit season this year, his first shit season in his life pretty much. But people yelling EXPOSED HURR are just being ignorant to the past decade. The guy is a monster

Yeah, dude is living the boomer life now.

those stats mustve really helped him win a lot of rings in cleveland, right?

lmao you're acting like the east is full of college players. They're still NBA players and NBA teams, and they're really fucking good. To dick down the east year after year after year after year shows how good he is. He carries his teams. That absolute manure cavs team he was on last year made it to the finals.

and before he got injured, remember the lakers were 4th or 5th seed. Again with a garbo team

>He can't choose who he plays with.

>the lakers were or 5th seed

you mean before half the season was even over and teams were like 2 games apart?

when the phoenix suns were in a playoff spot?

One ring in a cursed wasteland like Cleveland is worth 10 anywhere else

this is the "really fucking good" east. 7 teams above .500, and every single bottom feeding team besides the bulls, the lakers lost to with lefraud playing

this but unironically. 2016 chip is the best nba title in history. greatest team, biggest comeback.

each current era is the best era in any sport. lebron is the best of his era, therefore the GOAT, but there will be a new goat in the next 20 years. such is sports.

>3-6
>best of his era

borderline the exact opposite. he's had a wildly successful career

Quick I need a big bang spoiler

thanks for agreeing, making it to the finals 9 times in pretty nuts huh?

>running over the dogshit east
with the worst team among all eastern teams, the cleveland fucking cavaliers

also
>4-0 against the 60-win hawks
>4-0 against the 59-win raptors

Do you remember a memorable eastern team from Jordan era except those who went to the finals when he retired? No, because he crushed them all out of memory, just like LeBron did in his own ear.

team accomplishments /= individual talent

robert horry is better than kobe, eh?

well put

if anything he might be the best #1 pick ever

you brought up 3-6 to justify how bad he is, then turn around and say
>team accomplishments /= individual talent

you're a fucking retard

bad boy pistons
bird's celtics

and the raptoprs are eternal chokers, theyre fucking trash

no, beating literal nobodies en route to the finals in the east is a cakewalk with any team with a single superstar

Based and redpilled

obviously that was for

his individual talent is leaving cleveland to jin wade and friends in miami, then jumping back to cleveland after they VERY CONVENIENTLY got 3 firstpicks in a row, then leaves to LA hoping to recruit everyone for space jam 2 and another showtime lakers squad

>Do you remember a memorable eastern team from Jordan era except those who went to the finals when he retired?

Pistons, Hawks, Cavs, Pacers, Knicks, there's five off the top of my head

remember, Lebron is so talented, he went to LA, contracted vaginitis, sat out 1/4 of the season, lost to most of the worst teams in the league, then got benched before the season was even over

Jordan never beat Bird's Celtics m8

>Pistons
Always lost to them, won once when they were all washed up (next year, they lost in the first round, year after, didn't make the playoffs)
>Hawks
Bron faced better Hawks than Jordan
>Cavs
lol
>Pacers
All Pacers fans agree Vogel's team was the best in franchise history and they couldn't beat LeBron
>Knicks
>except those who went to the finals when he retired

No. Despite all his shit, he still has 3 rings and MVPs. There are worse out there.

Showtime Lakers were a shell of their former selves in 1991.

Right about the Pistons.

Celtics whipped him Bird's prime

A 34yo Wilkins was the Hawks' best player the year they faced the Bulls and he didn't even play in the playoffs. Budenholzer's Hawks have the best record in franchise history.

>they couldn't beat LeBron
Literally because they got refballed out of the series

Yeah it's always amazing to me how often Roy Hibbert got fuckin hammered or would make Lebum or Bosh go flying anytime he made some contact.

He was built up by a media machine from the age of 16 to be the "greatest ever" (ie a money printer). Of course he could never live up to people's expectations, but he sure did live up to NBA/Nike/ESPN's expectations. They made a damn good return on their investment. I wonder who Nike will pick next to be the greatest ever.

Messi
Peyton Manning
