Hes a legend tbh...he’s light years ahead of the second best player of his generation.

It really is crazy that with all the minutes he's played, in year 15, he's still the best player in the league and it's not even close. Doesn't matter who you think the second-best player is - Harden, Curry, KD, Kawhi - they're still not even in the same discussion as LeBron.

You would think all that stat-padding would translate into more les but no it's just that, stat-padding.

at me "sneaking" the 2nd most decorated SG in NBA history. CN is a funny dude

[LkrFan]

Pip is more accomplished than KD and Bird tbh. Easily the greatest defender I've ever seen to boot. There's a reason MJ never won without him.

"Most decorated" - translation: Shaq and MVPau carried him to a lot of accolades he didn't earn.

He carried DK, plain and simple. In addition to guarding the toughest assignment, he also ran the offense (since DK was too selfish to play with a traditional point guard).

It's pathetic how DK hogged all the credit and had his marketing machine brand MVPippen as a sidekick.

Did they defend for him too? 2nd most decoratedPERIOD.

Kobe without Shaq: 2
Shaq without Kobe: 1
Kobe without Pau: 3
Pau without Kobe:
Common denominator: Kobe

I thought he meant the jewelry accessories Kirby wore with his burqa outfits.

Leave it to Lakerfaj to on Bird smh

Irrefutable truth bombs.

DK still s on Kobe tho

[ambchang]

Lebron is just unreal. The way he’s putting up these crazy stats and absolutely dominating everyone is just incredible. Yes, the league has catered entirely to perimeter players and yes advancements in PEDs is letting lebron last Longer than anyone before him. But he’s the only one doing this in today’s nba, and there’s no denying he is clearly the best player in the league since around 2008.

He has a very strong case for GOAT. The only argument against it is 2011 and his mercenary career.

What is that pedo and rapist doing there? Is this the all time sloppy seconds team?
