Gonz is right about part of it. Timmy is already considered one of the GOATs and already has 4 rings, to get back to the Finals after last year's loss just adds another page to his legacy. If he loses, he would have lost to one of the greats in his prime. LeBron will take criticism just because it's LeBron, but don't see it tarnishing his legacy. If Lebron loses, he would have lost to one of the great teams in NBA history and 5 time champ Tim Duncan and Coach Pop. The only way losing this Finals might somehow tarnish either one of theirs legacy, might be to get swept.
