The End of an Era: Messi, Cristiano, and LeBron's Playoff Disappointments

Messi, Cristiano, and LeBron's teams were all eliminated on Wednesday.

Messi: Had flashes of brilliance in MLS, but Inter Miami CF was eliminated in the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup. Cristiano: Al Nassr failed to reach the semifinals of the Asian Champions League. No official title since arriving in Saudi Arabia. LeBron: The Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the NBA playoffs. The future of these stars remains uncertain. This debacle doesn't erase their past successes and legacies.
