LeBron is the GOAT

[SJ76]

Kobe was only the best player on his own team when they were missing the playoffs.

Hard to believe anyone would rather have him than LBJ.

Was the west as weak as the East was when Lebron played early as a Cav? That’s important. The east back then was bad once KG and Pierce were gone

Coming into the League Kobe and Lebron were different tho. Lebron was ready to go and Kobe was not.

I’m still shocked MJ has 250 more blocks than Kobe with Kobe playing many more games than MJ. That’s a shit load

John Stockton has great all time stats becasue he played so long. So does Lebron

Lebron hasn't played in as many games as most

 

[SJ76]

Yeah he takes nights off sometimes. Lol

But for real he didn’t play 3 years college ball either like most on that list.

 

[RP-29]

He did but Lebron has done it too. Byron Scott James Worthy Michael Cooper and Kareem were all pretty good. Magic just made it showtime

Now you're downgrading Magic a little to bring him to LeBron's level. It's cool, though... you see LeBron near/equivalent to Magic and I don't. Nothing either of us are going to say to change our perspectives on that.

One last note, though. Take a look at a bunch of Dream Team photos. It's no coincidence that Magic was in the center of a high percentage of those photos. ...The "greatest team ever assembled" had Magic in the middle of it all.

Man I can see where Lebron is close to Magic. Magic had some dam good pieces around him and it all came together. Magic is special no doubt. One of my favorite all time players. Bron isn’t as good as Magic at PG for sure. Not sure anyone was.

Which is my point with Stockton. He’s got the all time assists and steals record because he played so long. Doesn’t make him the greatest of all time

Jordan was poisoned and still dropped 38 in a 97 Finals road win. LeBron was carried off the court for a fucking cramp.

Fuck that. Jordan = GOAT. And it doesn't matter how many points LeBron scores, Magic and Larry will always be > LeBron, too.

You mean MJ was hungover. A lot easier to play hungover than to play when you can’t move. I get cramps in my fucking toe sometimes after a workout and it hurts as much shitting out a log.

The fact is Lebron with his longevity and prime is very much in GOAT conversation. You old school nut huggers are extremely biased. What Lebron has done is simply amazing. He carried nobodies to the Finals many times

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm not even sure Lebron has more talent than Magic. You're not going to find a more fundamentally sound basketball player than MJ, Magic, Bird and Kobe in my opinion and they were all cold-blooded killer. Lebron is a pussy-ass bitch.

That literally makes no sense since Lebron has a better fg % in the clutch than Kobe. Kobe took a high volume and missed a high volume but Kobe is barely a top 10 player let alone in the GOAT conversation LOL. The convo begins and ends with Lebron and MJ. Kareem is in there too but once LBJ beats the scoring record it’s all over. Kareem will still have the big man GOAT

Legit question: Did you watch Jordan, Magic and Bird play in the 80's and 90's?

Joy

And plenty of people compare Lebron to Magic. It’s a better comparison. Pts per game he’s really not close to MJ when you consider the defense played then and now. It’s not hard to figure out. Defense it’s not close either lol

I agree a comparison to Magic would be better.

MJ is the GOAT.

But for people that don't like LeBron they choose to ignore he's the only player in league history with 10,000 rebs & 10,000 asts. He's gonna break KAJ's scoring mark in fewer games.

All players not named Wilt aren't the scorer MJ was. But LeBron's averaged at least 25.0 ppg for 19 straight seasons, a record. Think he's tied for most 1st team selections. Something like 13 or 14.

Only being compared to the GOAT kinda says something about the career he's had. He's not compared to any other players that way. Could it be because he's had an incredible career?

I wasn't a Kobe fan but give him the respect he deserves. Same with KD. When judging a players career I don't let my personal feelings get in the way. But LeBron haters tend to do that.

Stats are stats. If you play 25 years that’s a quarter century. You gonna have stats. Now does that make him any less a player not really. But he’s not playing 20-25 years in the 80-90s either.

Doesn’t matter my feelings toward a player.

It’s not amazing to me at all what he’s done in this league. They don’t play physical defense like in the 80s or 90s that’s just fact. It’s not nut hugging. Lol look at how many teams averaged over 100 points in 1993 and how many do now. It’s not even close

Lebron carried teams to the finals. Joy. Look at the garbage in the east at that time.

It’s hilarious to me the Lebron fanboys that just want to look at his offensive stats and pay no attention to the defense played or competition in the east when he was getting to the finals.

Larry Bird was a bad man. He played in a league full of men.

Lebron averages 3 or 4 points less than MJ per game. Pure offense it’s not close. Defense he can’t even come close to MJ or his jock. MJ played less years has more rings and didn’t play in this current bitch league where the players from opposite teams hang out after games and team up on super teams. Teams truely hated each other back in the 80s and 90s which gave us all great rivalries

If Lebron continues to play nothing will change but maybe he plays along side his son.

Can you imagine Lebron playing against the Bad Boy Pistons?

 

[SJ76]

Again…. Lebron is almost the GOAT because he rebounded and passed better than MJ?

He’s got 100,000 points because he played 150 years.


And also once again no one talks about defense. Jordan has almost as many blocks as Bron in less years and way more steals. More defensive 1st team all NBA.

 

[SJ76]

Stop nut hugging. Lebron had it rough in the East his entire career. Those games were all physical battles

 

[SJ76]

Bird averaged less PTS per game than Bron but had more rebounds per game. About even on assists and even on steals and even on blocks. Lebron and Bird or Magic is the comp.

Bird also only played 13 years. Lol wonder why

[PeoplesChicken]

I’ve always assumed it.

The pizza guys he’s slandered have something to say as well.

It’s not like Mike Jordan isn’t a documented liar. We all watched that bullshit Last Dance mini series.

What did he lie about?

 

[broncosmitty]

What did he lie about?

What didn’t he?

Dude sat there drinking for two days, telling stories he doesn’t even believe.

You have the issues with LeBron and can't give him any credit. He's had a helluva career. Here's the proof you hate-hate-hate him. And it's hilarious.

Lebron has done nothing but hold MJs jock for years while even wearing his number.

Again nobody is saying he's the GOAT because he's not. That's MJ's title.

Your LeBron issues border on pure insanity.

Can you find one comment in this thread where anyone has called LeBron the GOAT?
