This is LeBron's team. You know this. LeBron is the reason all the young talent was traded out. He is why Russell Westbrook was brought in.
Lebron did his first 7 years. And Jordan did before Pippen
What’s your narrative why LeBron does not have as many titles as MJ, despite playing 6 more seasons?
He should have 5. He messed up the Dallas series, that is on him. He has to own that. Although you can say only he could have beat that Warrior team so 4 is the right number but that is up for debate.
Regarding Michael at 6 titles and LeBron at 4 titles in 21 seasons, Thank You for the excuses.
Well you are the one who cares about rings as end all be all. I dont. And I answered your question with an honest non cocky response
Its libtard. Dont be scared, you're acting like a true libtard. Come on Mel, man up
Lebron can be extremely physical when he chooses and there is nothing anyone can do. He would punish both of them.
It is his pre game ritual that bothers me. He doesn’t do it (same) all the time, but there is 1 thing he occasionally throws in. I have only seen a photo of him doing it , so I do not know how often it shows. Otherwise: an awesome athlete.
Agree. I vacillate between a top 5 all time player, and top 10. Hands to the fire I would place him at 4 after MJ, Magic Johnson, and Jabbar.
The all time starting top 5, most would say, is Magic at the 1, MJ at the 2, LeBron at the 3, and Kareem at the 5.
So the only player in the history of the NBA with 20 All NBA seasons out of 21. Is the only player that is #1 in scoring and top 5 in ast and has a shot to be top 20 all time in rebounds. The only the player in NBA history with a shot to make 3 all decade teams is maybe top 5 or top 10 got it.
If someone says MJ or Lebron isn't top 5 Id react the same way. That is a crazy opinion to have. To each their own but Id debate them all the same
Yes, and we can’t ignore Gordon’s impact on these games as well. But I thought coaching played a bigger role here than what we usually see in the playoffs. You don’t play a one arm Davis for several minutes waiting for the stinger to calm down. Davis is not the kind of player who is capable of ignoring and playing through pain, and thought it was a major mistake not to sit him for several minutes. And you have to wonder about Jame’s usage when he’s standing around watching Adam Reeves dominating the ball and taking the most important shots the last couple minutes of a close game.
I dont think they need Porzingis to reach the Finals honestly. They have about as easy a path as you can have. Winner of Magic and Cavs, they arent losing that. Then Giannis and Dame are beat up. Joel is beat up. Randle is out for the Knicks. Maybe if those bigs get healthy but neither might not even make it there
Personally hope we don’t have to find out. Porzingis has been a better rim protector than I ever imagined, and his outside shooting opens up the lane for Brown and others. I really want to see Boston and Denver in the finals, each at full strength.
So lets take your metric:
Go back and read the thread it was the MJ sh!tbirds that made it a GOAT debate because they cant stand Lebron doing something MJ never did.
Spot on. You can make an argument for 5-7 better players than Lebron..MJ you can’t make an argument for 1 (the Lebron discussion is asinine).
Well stated; although, I now have LeBron at 4. But to your point, I could argue as well that 2-3 others belong over LeBron.
Well stated. LeBron, as you said, definitely wins the lets play for 21 seasons longevity award. And 22 seasons next year at age 40. Full respect there.
He wins the longevity award and the dominance in peak with anyone as well.
That's why I place LeBron top 5. After MJ, Magic Johnson, and Kareem. You are correct.
