He actually lost in the playoffs when he came back. He couldn't do it straight
through. He needed a break to recover. Lots of reasons why it can be a knock against him. Lebron hasn't needed a break.
You may think it matters much but it makes sense.

Agreed that they did Stateside, but they did not bring the NBA to the world.

1) It has nothing to do with it. 2) He would probably have more titles if he

But he didn't. He quit, he left, he said he didn't need basketball anymore.

What did he do when he was playing? That's all that matters.

This is ludicrous. You realize his dad was murdered right?

Or he could have never won again because he gets injured or something else.

The GOAT is entitled to an occasional diversion from time to time.

What don't you understand? It is a point against Jordan just like Jordan has

You penalize him for playing a 17 game season?

And you're penalizing LeBron for taking a pile of garbage to the finals and not

No. His teams have been stacked

It's well known that he was playing on super teams

Oops. That was directed at benny's quote above

I am just correcting your incorrect statement.

To you it does. That is the beauty of it. Everything matters to different

Lots of reasons it can be a knock? Because he was bored?

It could be all of the above and it can still be held against him if you want.

"Lebron hasn't needed a break." LMBO Yeah, like MJ needed a break. SMH...

You don't know that. All of it is conjecture. Don't you see that?

Um did you watch those finals? Full Bulls team rolls Houston.

You do know that you can't know that right? Can't I say that MJ has a terrible

Or that the wear and tear on MJ during those 2 years has an effect on him
benny1982

Or he retires 2 years sooner because he doesn't take the break. We don't know.
Baron

You don't know he DID need a break, so don't say that. And I didn't say he WOULD
Kerbouchard

Well he probably needed a break. There is that better?

Not really. The statement is still stupid, because there's zero evidence that he
