For him to be able to get drafted number one pick overall to winning 4 championships, 4 MVPS and Finals MVPS, becoming the All-Time leading scorer in the NBA and completing the best comeback in NBA history against the Warriors in 2016, I think his resume speaks for itself.

[@puidemare2337]

@@Modeek6 Flopping ain't really that respectful. Faking injuries when you lose is not respectful. Being carried off the court because you got "leg cramps" ain't a good look. Kobe shot two free throws and walked off the court with a torn achilles. (That's respectul) Pretending you're a social justice activist isn't very respectful. Calling yourself the goat is absolutely not respectful. You sound like a dude who just buys into the carefully crafted narrative on the guy.

Not gonna lie, i really thought watching this live he would announce his retirement, even though he said he wanted to play at least once season with bronny.

From driving from my hometown Cleveland to Akron to watch his high school games to now its amazing. I used to always think he has accomplished alot but what would he have been like if he had that dog killer instinct-like aggression that both Jordan and Kobe played with I can only imagine. I am glad I had a chance in my life to see both Jordan and Bron play LIVE in their careers. I was there when Jordan lit the Cavs up for 69 ( he also had 18 boards and 4 steals sheesh) and obviously attended a ton of Lebron games in Cleveland. I hate I never saw Kobe play but I will get out to LA now that I live in Vegas to watch Lebron play before its over and with any luck after its over maybe the NBA will grant him a team in Vegas now that we have recently won the WNBA championship and the Stanley Cup. Great player, great man to his community a great father great husband to the woman he has been with since high school and still looks at her like he is crushing on her. Random: My fav version of Lebron was the second season in Miami #6 version he was a nightmare he played angry that entire season and barely spoke to the press.
