Kang on another level, tbh, and haters are salty about it
The fact is, LeBron is a champion and an all-time great.... as he said, "that stank, don't it?"
LeBron will be at minimum the 2nd GOAT when he retires with a chance at GOAT....
You're not sick of "LEBRON".
You're sick of the Media Propaganda that continuously utters how great of a player he is. This is all a matter to USE LeBron for profit. Its all in the tools.

...While playing on the Cavs, which, imo, excuses him. Cleveland was always "Lebron James + washed up vets and scrubs."
As great as the Kang is, this is where I would have to draw the line. In an alternate universe where Dad Killer doesn't leave the league for two years, maybe he loses to the Rockets in the finals. But the fact is, he never did. 6-0 in the finals while being the clear MVP each time is legendary. Until somebody tops MJ's FMVP count while also winning 100% of the time in the finals, I can't really say he's got a challenger for the GOAT le.
Plus, there's 2011, which I regard as the only true performance-based blemish on Lebron's career. He was totally responsible for loss to the Mavs. After 2011, Lebron couldn't become the GOAT. That option disintegrated. Still top 5-10 for sure, but not the GOAT.
He's a great player, no doubt one of the best ever, but he also chose being a pussy and made superfriends with Wade and Bosh so he could win it the easy way.
The guy is the best player in the NBA and is coming off 2 consecutive NBA Championships. Had the Spurs (and Pop) not blundered away an almost certain NBA le, it's quite possible that Lebron wouldn't be garnering as much offseason attention as he's currently getting.
Don't hate, just appreciate...even though he beat our most beloved Spurs.
I see yall still having trouble sleeping at nigbt... LOL!!!
If everything was about stats wilt would be the best ever.
There should have never been a game 7. The heat didn't win a championship the Spurs lost a championship. Sure he put up numbers but when the hit the fan he the bed. And it was missed free throws, bad coaching and ray allen that bailed him out. The shot he called a "jordan moment" in game 7, they had the lead so where was the make or break pressure? that got!
True he doesn't force shots and tries to involve teammates but the guy is just not a leader. He had to do it himself he doesn't inspire his team. You heard his stupid speech in the huddle. He doesn't belive the dumb he says so why should his team? He has a false confidence and it's easy to see his insecurity. You watch next time it's do or die he will fold again.
And let's not forget the very su ious lovefest Pop had with lebron and wade after game 7. Also the 2-time champion shoes that were out before the finals were over.
no i know this thread is not the lebron is better than jordan argument. I'm just saying outside this thread and you go to say youtube, craploads of kids are saying lebron is better than mj. i'm just mentioning it.
those 2 time champ shoes don't mean anything. They are just made if the heat win, so nike can make money off the finals win. which they did. Had they lost they would be sent to africa or something. Just like the finals shirts. They always make 2 sets of shirts, the one that loses the series has the shirts sent to third world countries. It's just for supply and demand.
And as far as that pop lovefest, well we don't know much, but one thing is for sure, i have never seen a series with so much respect given between the 2 compe ors.
Because LeBron refused to let his team lose Game 6. He took over in the Final minutes remember?
to be fair, even with that performance, with 28 secs left, it still wasn't enough. ray allen bailed his ass out.
This is a great point. I think I could respect his skills a lot more if he wasn't such a poster boy for NBA profit.
It's much harder to repeat and we saw it with how much luck the Heat had to go their way to repeat. Meanwhile the Spurs have tried 3 times to repeat and failed. They couldn't get lucky just once?
LeBron is really carrying the league like MJ did when it comes to promos and image. Think how empty the NBA would feel if he was out for a year. NBA really needed him to win that last championship. Your #1 can't be going 1 for 4 in NBA Finals. I'm surprised the Spurs got a fair shake in that final series.

I am going to put a theory out there that the reason Pop really didn't try that hard to win game 6 is because he didn't want to damage Lebron's legacy. It may not even have been a conscious idea but the way he didn't go for the jugular and coached like it was a regular season game in the 4th. Did you see him hugging Lebron after game 7. He must have been the happiest person for him.
Who invited this ing got?
Enough of your whining.
