Will Lebron's championship be the most underwhelming achievement in sports?

A championship is a championship, I get that, but are all really equal in the eyes of fans and media?
Lebron teamed up with two other superstars. They were supposed to win a championship. People expect them to. It's not a feel good story and it's not surprising. So is it really career defining?
Jordan, Bird, and Magic all played with superstars as well, but the teams were built like the heat. They weren't sitting around, becoming BFF's with other players and conspiring to form a super team.
Lebron has played great. Best player in the NBA by far. But this championship is a bit "meh"

Im sick of hearing this kind of dumb shite. I bet you praise the Celtics, Mavs, Lakers when they put together dream teams.
STFU already.

Wade isn't doing shite and no one thinks Bosh is a superstar until it's convenient for their anti-Lebron argument. Lebron is running the show.

Before it was he'll never win one. Now it's oh he won but it isn't that big of a deal.
IMO it's still a big deal.

It'd been a deal had he won one in Cleveland as the sole "man".
Now, I dunno...

You dumb
You'd be quick to roast LeBron if they lost, but when they win, their championship is meh.

Dude c'mon, a championship is a championship.
It's not like every one of MJ, Bird, and Magics titles were some extreme underdog/comeback story when they defied all the odds and overcame some ridiculous obstacle. I mean shite for a decade Bird or Magic either won the finals, played in the finals, or played in the finals against each other.
MJ won 3 in a row twice. Those weren't exactly inspiring stories of triumph over odds, it was domination.

It's like Chris rock was saying in his comedy skit.

Chris Rock response: you not supposed to do any of that shite you low expectation having motherfricker.
And it's kind of like lebron. It's like hey dude congrats u won a ring but it's like hey with all the hype etc it's about time

I would view that Yankee championship a few years ago as more underwhelming.
It was coming after an off-season when they spent like 800 million on contracts for CC/Tex/ etc and they are the Yankees they are suppose to win.

i can't think of any championship team that didn't have at least 2 HOF's on the roster.
It's not that there are good players on the roster, it's how they came together to be on that roster.
And would Dallas last year be an example? They had Dirk and a bunch of role players.

only to the people who don't like him
The Thunder are a really fricking good team - somehow people are forgetting just a week ago they considered either the Spurs or the Thunder much better than the Heat
Well, now the Heat may win - some credit is due

So living up to hype is underwhelming. Weird.
Posted on 6/20/12 at 12:32 pm to LSUZombie
Maybe you think that and thats fine. But the fact is whenever Lebron retires nobody will remember any of that when talking about his place in history. As long as he wins he won't have to deal with all the questions of whether or not he can get it done, all that will matter is that he is a champion, and if he can win 4+, all of a sudden he's in discussion for greatest ever, that's just the way it works.

You are clearly an illogical person who doesn't know it. The mindset mentioned above is sound logic. If you surround yourself with a better team, it is a bigger deal to lose AND it is not as big a deal if you win.
By your logic, if the LSU men's basketball team beat the woman's it would be a big deal because they would get roasted if they lost.

Exactly. The Thunder have a comparable big 3, but they were joined together by incredible drafting and development by the organization.
Miami was just the meeting place of a bunch of whiny sore losers. Boston too.
