Can someone explain why someone gets extra credit for winning with one team? It literally makes no sense

Steph Curry: 4 Championships. 17 years. 1 Team. LeBron James: 4 Championships. 23 years. 5 Teams. People been trying to compare "LeBron James" to Michael Jordan when in actual reality he's not better than the likes of Steph Curry/Tim Duncan/Kobe Bryant etc. He's All-Time overrated and not Top-10.

@StripClub_DJ_99 @OnyxOdds power forward on defense, point guard on offense

@PorscheProdStar @YAMALDREAM011 @McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle clearly not he retired instead of trying to win with a different team

@Xtra_Rapid @YAMALDREAM011 @McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle MJ gave af, and you're just a fan

@justmylil2cents @Bryce_Estelle loyalty has always mattered in the nba
English
@Bryce_Estelle It’s the Bron tax! Make up shit that don’t matter to somehow discredit the body of work.
English
@notavante40 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle they are deadass convincing themselves he chose the harder route somehow
English
@freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle It’s like saying “it’s harder to jump company to company making bank, than actually betting on yourself and starting your own company”. Bron made the best choice, but yall jumping through too many hoops to prove it.
English
@PrinceZ00ko @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle they’re tying to convince themselves he chose the harder route which just isn’t true at all
English
@freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle If that was true he would still be with Cleveland or the heat
English
@PorscheProdStar @YAMALDREAM011 @McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle after he won the 6 rings?? who gives a fuck at that point 😂😂
English
@YAMALDREAM011 @McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle You said that it's harder because you can't handpick your talent, which MJ DID actually handpick his talent when on the bulls, then he bitched and retired when he couldn't retain his coach.

@toyotariii @mural_erza @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle dwyane wade, chris bosh, kyrie irving, kevin love, anthony davis, joel embiid, jaylen brown, tyrese maxey
English
@Esavage1997156 @LOUW1LL @Bryce_Estelle how is joining up with dwade and chris bosh, and then kyrie and kevin love, and then anthony davis, and then joel embiid and jaylen brown more impressive than if he just won 6 with cleveland or miami or LA? genuine question
English
@Xtra_Rapid @LOUW1LL @Bryce_Estelle Not nearly as impressive as winning 4 with 3 different systems but keep believing that jordan propaganda
English
@offkmv @nbatrend @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle I agree with you! I believe LeBron has made good decisions throughout his career to get towards goat status. But he just wont have that loyalty nod that some other players will. His career could’ve looked like dirks if he never left so he made the right choice. Its a tradeoff
English
@Xtra_Rapid @nbatrend @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle Nobody actually credits loyalty like they think they do. Bc when it’s all said and done, their career won’t be looked at like MJ or LeBron or Kobe unless they won rings. Which loyalty doesn’t always allow you to do. Everyone’s loyal until their team can’t compete
English
@JC_afc17 @Bryce_Estelle right but people aren’t comparing lebron to bird, magic, kobe or duncan. they’re comparing him to the outlier
English
@Xtra_Rapid @Bryce_Estelle MJ might be an outlier because of how rare he is, but bird magic Kobe Duncan were drafted onto teams with history so people are willing to buy into the project rather than a team like Cleveland where the city had a 50 year trophy drought
English
@offkmv @nbatrend @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle and that’s perfectly fine for him to do but then you cant then ask why do people credit loyalty when they’ve seen other stars stick through bad teams or bad front office decisions
English
@Xtra_Rapid @nbatrend @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle The villain role was put on by LeBron himself, he played it on purpose. Besides, Miami made him even more popular as a player. Cleveland’s front office hated LeBron’s guts, he had no reason to stay. Any real star that wants to compete will leave if their team doesn’t do right
English
@Flourish3x @KingJames i think the hardest would be in 2004 in his rookie year but thats just me idk
English
@KingJames Nobody wanna have the conversation how this would be LBJ hardest ring to win
English
@JC_afc17 @Xtra_Rapid @Bryce_Estelle I don’t think ppl are saying never switch teams. But switching and joining a new cast of stars at every stop when you are in the tier of players that LeBron is, it looks cheap
English
@nbatrend @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle ur right disregard miami actually, that was the reason people disliked him so much. imagine if he just stayed with cleveland after 2010, that villian role wouldn’t be put onto him. If he won with them people would respect it more than joining with kyrie after seeing Dwade decline
English
@Xtra_Rapid @SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle the highest his respect level has ever been is his second cavs stint. first cavs ring, 2018 playoffs are still talked about like mythology
English
@SaneUTDOM @Bryce_Estelle i think it helps that every time Lebron did it he joined a top 10 player in the league. imagine if lebron stuck with cleveland for 25 years, or even with miami once Dwyane wade started to decline. you cant tell me people wouldn’t respect it more if he stayed with those teams
English
@Xtra_Rapid @Bryce_Estelle On paper, but the amount of times it’s actually worked vs. hasn’t worked is pretty low.
English
@LOUW1LL @Bryce_Estelle i mean ig you can remove the context of him winning more rings than lebron with 1 team
English
@Bryce_Estelle it’s bc that’s all Jordan did. he never won with the wizards so now winning with one team is the “standard”
English
