LeGOAT![]()
This guy
It's the greatest accomplishment in NBA history, but he won't have the accolades to beat Dad Killer, he was born at the wrong time..
He said he was chasing the ghost of Jordan after he rang in 2016 but he hasn't won anymore rings since then, so how did he become the GOAT?![]()
I have to give it to Lebron and his handlers, Mav and Rich Paul. They’ve done a tremendous job making Lebron not only a branding powerhouse but also turned him into one the most recognizable philanthropist of his generation. His foundation gave him an undying support from the liberal sports media. He could call Trump a “cracker” at this point and his media fanboys would find a way to spin it to something positive![]()
It was undeniably a great accomplishment. I'll always remember looking at the ESPN prediction page before the finals, and seeing that every single sportswriter, commentator, and analyst picked Golden State to win. I'd never seen a unanimous finals prediction chart like that before.
He's become too corny for me IMO, but he's a good role model for kids and people in general..child stars usually don't end up as well-adjusted as he is..
Those poor kids from the 90s that idolized Jordan, I can only imagine how much shame they felt when they learned about the real him![]()
This.
His one le in Cleveland is worth two...
But still leaves him short...
I hope he finds a way to get two more at 5 chips Id give him the edge but he gotta get close...
I don't agree with his comments but it's ok he feels that way the 2016 Cavs championship was a career best for him. That 73-9 Warriors team shot the ball with precision till they added Durant, the last 2 Warriors championships are 100% because of Durant and his play. It would be interesting to see how the Warriors would do without KD again.
Michael played great defense up to in his 2nd 3 peat with the bulls even though he was mid 30s. LeBron stopped with great defense except in very infrequent bursts years ago.
Wizards Jordan plays as well on defense as current LeBron
So does that make Kyrie co-greatest player of all-time?
What does that mean?
Leading a team to 8 straight finals is pretty damn good. Rings aren't that important given that virtually every team he faced in the finals was better.
I have no issue with what he said tbh... He basically said that it was the best moment of his career and in that occasion he feels he was the goat.. it's obviously arguable but no better person can be biased in his favor than himself
I was not a big fan of him in the beginning but you have to recognize that he is a great guy for the community, one of the best if not the best to ever play bb, he shut the mouth of this warrior squad, broke Spurs heart before Tim broke his and he is a Trum hater (a huge + for me)... so yeah I changed my mind about him.
He’s in the top three along with MJ and Kareem.
All of them have some blemishes but Mjs is probably the least.
Kareem missed the playoffs one year albeit with a wonky seeding back in the day. Also never took his teams to any great heights without a goat PG
Lebrons decision and having to team up with two other all nbaers to ring, his questionable Gming.
MJ not getting past the Celtics and his wizard years.
These are all just basketball related of course. If you put in the social impact side then Lebron blows both of them out of the water and Kareem is head and shoulders above Jordan.
Social impact? Kareem is debateable as the best of the three when you consider Kareem's social impact was in the wake of Ali being stripped of his le.
LeBrons social/political stances has cost him next to nada.
Mj refused to use his influence.
Cultural impact? LeBron is maybe the goat when you factor the growth of the NBA (spearheaded by MJ but started with Bird/Magic) and Lebron's platform and social media imprint.
But Jordan man was sooo huge in his time. tough to say I wonder what Q rating and other metrics say about Jordan vs Lebron?
But not that Im judge/jury but LeBron seems like the most decent human being of the three probably only one it be fun to grab a beer with.
As for hoops, a case can be made for all three ...
But for me its MJ
1. Kareem
2. MJ
3. LeBron
4. Larry Bird
Dis nicca Bird not even as great as Timmy, let alone Magic.
Great talent that enjoyed playing in a weaker Conference but just piled up loses in the Super Bowl until linking up with another great player resulting in massive upset (Packers) and a nice run to finish out his career. Just like James, Elway had alot of pull in the front office and now is an owner himself.
His accomplishments will diminish in hindsight as time passes
- beat team with 3 MVPs on it in finals
- only team from east to beat spur in playoffs
- beat GOAT reg season team
it's been over for years. mj doesn't get extra credit for going b2b against john stockton
