This was it IMO.

He is 29 so he has maybe 6-7 years left of playing at this level if he is lucky.

The big 3 are toast so at best he will lose 1-2 years switching teams and building up wherever he goes. This loss pretty much eliminated him from catching MJs 6 due to the closing window.

For all the people that will say sarcastically "that its better to lose in the early rounds than the finals" lets not forget LBJ has lost in the early rounds too and unfortunately, for legacy and perception purposes, it is better. 6/6 vs 2/5 is all people will remember and talk about.

LeBron should have signed with the Grizzlies. Instead of the Heat. He would have won more titles and nobody would have accused him of trying to join a super star team.

Yes, because people are stupid.

MJ played in a way weaker era. Lebrons went up against tougher competition

Jordan 6-6, LeBron 2-5.

LeBron will win 1-2 more but he's already too far behind. Really not much to say beyond that.

He will get 2 maybe 3 more, but yes 6 seems very unlikely now.

James is such a head case that once he's past his prime he won't be that valuable to a contender IMO. He's got to be head clown on any team he's on.

He will be fortunate to win 1 more.

He'll match it if he signs with the Spurs.

i won't agree fully yet, but what this series show is how pointless that comparison is

LBJ was a BEAST in this playoff series. wins (and championships) are team stats. they shouldn't be used to compare players

Russell had 11.
MJ will never be as good.
MJ will never be as good as Sam Jones with ten, either.

not sure how you can say that when you dont know where he'll end up. or who he'll end up with.

if tim duncan retires, that make things much easier for him. Even so, he's getting old. Who is going to stand in his way with the right cast of characters around him?
