Los Angeles Lakers legend James Worthy called LA's blowout loss the worst defeat in franchise history, and with the Purple-and-Gold on the verge of elimination tonight, some have started questioning what an early exit would mean for LeBron’s legacy. The 36-year-old King has famously never lost a first-round playoff series, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss if LeBron’s pursuit of Michael Jordan could be fading away with first-round loss.

Good news about Jesus Christ! When you first come to him, He completely erases/ forgives your past! You will not be punished for anything bad that you’ve done! Here’s how! (2 Corinthians 5:17)- “If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation: The old has gone, and the new has come! (Explanation of the Bible verse above): Whenever a person decides to give their life to God, their past no longer counts against them! He erases it completely! And whatever a person did in their past is forgiven and they will NOT be punished for it at all! YES, a clean slate! In Christianity this is what we call the act of Repentance! To stop doing something bad, in order to follow Christ instead! So for example, If a prison inmate decided to turn their and lives around and follow Christ, whatever crimes they committed in the past, are forgiven by God. They will NOT be In trouble for anything that they did in the past! This what Christians mean when they say “reborn” or “born again.” Version 3.0

Hot take: the East was so weak in 2007 that I don’t think the Cavs and Pistons would of made it past the 1st round if they played out West. While teams like the T-Mac/Yao Rockets, AI/Melo Nuggets, We Believe Warriors and Nash Suns would of made finals runs if they played out East.

Interestingly you said legacy. I don’t think lebron has a chance of beating jordan legacy. I don’t think anyone does to be honest. Everything fell into place for Jordan’s legacy. Nike, Gatorade , draft, weak league, all played a huge role into jordan legacy. Just imagine how big any other player would be if they were the face of Nike and Gatorade. It’s so much more. I don’t think anyone can challenge jordan on legacy. But as far as just being more “skilled” I think lebron wins in a landslide. Basketball has become more about achievements than talent. You can argue that’s because we all know jordan as a talent was extremely good but through time all athletes evolve and thus all athletes would eventually be more skilled than jordan, so the narrative changed to how many achievements do you have. I don’t believe that’s a fair argument to people who are extremely talented but didn’t have the team or puzzle pieces fall into place for them. Winning is a team thing which means you can’t individualize it. But how talented you are is. You can individualize who’s more skilled or talented. And that goes to lebron. Nobody can do what he does. But just as I said all players evolve and in 15 years I’m sure we will have someone who passes him also

How about you add some real context? Jordan was making the playoffs his first year with 38 wins his second year 30 WINS. Didn’t even go above .500 until year 4. Lebron had 35 wins his rookie year and 42 wins his second year. At 18 and 19 years old. Sorry lebron didn’t play in MJ era where it was a lot easier to make the playoffs
