Stephen Jackson: "LeBron is Top 3-5 All Time (behind MJ & Kobe)"

[JohnnyMax]

What was the key in the last NBA Finals and what does this title mean for LeBron James’ career?

SJ: He is definitely in my mind one of the Top 5 players to ever play the game, if not Top 3 behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. The way they came back to win the championship, winning in seven games… It was epic. He has now a coach that has played the game and knows what it takes to win. Coach Tyronn Lue had a great shooter like JR Smith, and a guy like Richard Jefferson, who is not the most talented guy in the world, but he plays hard. And coach Lue made these guys to be hard-nosed defenders. I don’t think Golden State was ready for that physical type of basketball. Obviously when Draymond Green got suspended, which I think was a sucker move by the NBA, that really affected the series. But when you have LeBron and a guy like Kyrie Irving on your team, and you also have the other guys playing hard, you have a good chance. Kyrie and Lue were really instrumental for the Cavs.

It saved James + gave Media their salvation. They can now prop him up for the foreseeable future. In fact, he may be forever safe.

Us haters have no foundation now. It's gone. All we have is raw numbers 5-3 Kobe, etc.

(3) looks like shit, but, it's (enough) to keep the dogs at bay.

Man, I wanted to see Media face ass down in the shit with him. I did not get it.

State fucked around.

It saved James? What is the "it"? Lebron did that himself. There was no it.

Kobe is retired. Stop invoking his ring count unless you want to bring Magic and Captain on board as well.


Cue "don't be obtuse"

Says the guy who chose to make less money to play for a fringe playoff team in the east instead of the defending champs.

[Clipper Nation]

DK over LeBron? Kobe even being mentioned in the top 3 of any categories that aren't "all-time worst players" or "biggest team cancers"?

SJax needs to stick to dropping truth bombs about Porker, because his other takes are pathetic.

Don't be obtuse, dog...

Lebron would make my top ten and probably my top three to five as well. Kobe wouldn't make my top twenty.

James still has some work to do. It just got harder with the shift in talent. At this point he's definitely in the top 10 legacy wise. Kareem, Jordan, Magic, Kobe, and Hakeem are the most talented players I've ever seen play.

[Koolaid_Man]

I got Larry Bird over that bitch ass nigga

[TDMVPDPOY]

his finals performances over the years, has never been impressive man, dunno why the hype

This sugar pill, sensible diet and exercise will help you lose weight. Kobe is the sugar pill.

Laker fans always put Kobe about 7 places higher than he should be. I think 12 is generous in fact. By this time next year he'll have fallen to 15.

Lebron? lol... you're fucking kidding.

Me too. Lebron can't shoot, and he's a roider.

[Leetonidas]

didn't he get butthurt once and say he was as good as Kobe? lol this crackhead is so desperate for attention these days

This.

It's delusional for Kobe to not be in a top 20 list. Nothing else to say about that really.

Dude was never above 1B status. I frankly have Paul Pierce above Kobe, tbh. Others have T-Mac ahead of him.

[Kidd K]

Jax isn't an intelligent man. Opinion not worth much imo. On anything honestly.

LeBron's top 10 now but certainy not top "3-5", and he has fucking Kobe up there? lmao . . .

Is this a top 5 wings list? Excluding PFs, Cs, and PGs? If so, sure top 3-5. But Kobe isn't above him.

Ultimate teammate, but only when he's actually on your team. Watch your ass when he leaves or gets cut.

Though Bexar County Sheriff Deputies did have to go out to the facility to restore order after Jackson physically attacked Pop.
