Lebron Most overrated player not just in NBA history but all of sports history. Lebron has always had superteams and still even then BARELY won the times that he has to generally weak competition. Warriors maybe the exception but the Cavs played the single best game of the Finals in 2017 Game 4, if he had true will and determination and relentlessness and truly made his teammates better he could have won that series. .. and eerybody talking about Going 16 points to none of his teammates only proves that Lebron doesnt make his teammates better.

in my opinion its debatable whether Kobe and MJ would get this team to the Final. I say they have a good chance. Yes it was a great run but to be fair lets name competition Cavs faced. Oladipo, Bogdanovic , Turner, Lowry, DeRozan and Ibaka, rookie Tatum 13.9 PPG in the regular season, Jaylen Brown 14.5 PPG in the regular season and Horford. That is arguably the easiest road to the Finals . Cleveland had 2 All Stars , Toronto 2 , Indiana and Boston only 1. Kevin Love was 17.5PPM, 9RBG , you could argue he was as good as any name above.

Lebron James has overtaken Jordan long time ago. Jordan's 6-0 and 3 peats were an old generation's record and doesn't count anymore. The last time a team won a 3 peat was 21 years ago with Kobe Bryant. There's a compelling reason for this. Post Kobe's era, basketball teams and players have grown so talented and very competitive it is virtually impossible for a single team to dominate and mount another 3 peat. And yet despite this, no other player has dominated this game for so long and so consistent except for Lebron James. As for MJ's fans, so sorry to say that all you've got are nostalgia from old videos and footages from the past including records won out of weak opponents.

[@user-oh4jd7ku2d]

Perfectly said. What Lebron has accomplished in this generation is just as good as what Jordan accomplished in his generation. In MJ’s generation it was easier to dominate with one team and create a dynasty. The closest thing we’ve had to a dynasty like that in this generation were the warriors and even they had to do something crazy to keep that dynasty building.. which was bringing one of the best players in the league KD to a 73-9 stablished team. And even they couldn’t achieve a three peat. It’s just to difficult. Injuries or not, the competition in todays nba is unmatched and nobody will ever dominate a whole decade like those bulls teams did in the 90s unless someone creates a superteam even worse than the KD warriors. Yea the bulls were what they were in the 90s because of MJ but they were a superteam for their time.

[@user-oh4jd7ku2d]

Team dominance and accomplishments shouldn’t be a factor in GOAT conversations. It’s not fair that an all time great player had the opportunity to have the best team in the league as well while other all time great player had to carry his team most of the time. On the MJ vs Lebron conversation we always bring the 6-0 and the bulls dominance as a factor. Shouldn’t be like that. It’s a teams sport and MJ wasn’t alone in that 6-0 90s run. He had plenty help. If we compare by just the player give me lebron any time. There’s never been a guy more dominant and all around greater than him

[@MrClebophd]

I think these highlights compile the greatness of LeBron. Usually, in team sports, the better team wins, even if the other team has the best player. This happens because the opposing team can make someone else beat you which they don't four times out of seven games. The best player can carry his team to wins in singular games, but not playoff series. Great players like Wilt Chamberlain, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady had a really hard time with this. The same happened with young MJ who couldn't beat the Celtics and Pistons at first despite being the best player. However, LeBron James is the only player who consistently were on worse teams but still managed to win. The experts were like "The pacers/celtics/raptors have a better team, but the Cavs have LeBron James...."

[@scoop2448]

Lol he beat oladipo, defrozan and baby celtics with no Kyrie. Dont forget he had all star Love. But Lebron also lost when he had better teams/records. 2009, 2010 and 2011. Young Lbj didnt beat Celtics and Pistons except the 2007 53 win pistons. Cavs only had 3 less wins. In 1989 MJ as a 6 seed beat 2 higher seeds and took the champ pistons to 6 games.

@@scoop2448 You're absolutely right. LeBron is one of the worst players to ever play. He only gets contracts because his social platform. Whenever he played and won, he was just a marginal bench warmer happy to be along for the ride. He is not the NBA total scoring champion, and his impact on the game is minuscule. Furthermore, he is also the smallest, weakest and dumbest player to ever grace the basketball floor. He can't score, pass, rebound or defend. His closest rival was some rookie who got cut. Finally, he has no fans, and there are no highlight that are being watched over and over again.

Me a Warriors fan watching this and still in awe after 6 years. I didn't have him beating Boston in the ECF. When he did I was sure we won the finals. Boston woulda taken a game or two from us. The Cavs were a lottery team without Bron.

[@hernandezeman7622]

2018 bron is built different!✨🏀

[@karlmichael1956]

They can't stop 2018 lebron...they need superteam to beat that old man..

[@NBAXYZ]

2021 and 2023 curry carried the warriors for full season and 2018 LeBron carried the cavs for full playoffs both goats 🐐 🐐

[@scoop2448]

In my view, Hakeem in 1994 is the largest individual load that anyone has carried for a Title or FInals run. He became the first player to lead a Finals/Title team in 5/5 categories for the ENTIRE Playoffs. Think about that for a second. Hakeem was the best scorer, rebounder, passer, stealer, shot-blocker, and best overall defender on his team for the playoffs... and won the title. The other remarkable thing about this title run is that Hakeem became the only player to win the title without another Hall of Famer and without another player who made the all-star team.

[@quicktoreason2722]

sure but was the offensive talent as great as it is today? and how many plays did they run? keep in mind, the triangle offense that the bulls and lakers ran was considered new and special during that time, nowadays its just a norm. and every team has a massive playbook to use. I see what youre saying and tbh its what the player does in his era with what hes got that defines greatness so i can concede that Hakeem was indeed an immense force - unfortunately, where i disagree with you is lebrons early cav days and 2012/2018 were simply a much more harder scenario to get past than what Hakeem had to. think about it, the early cavs teams are not even talked about because no one even remembers who played on those teams other than lebron, and lebron willed that team to the finals lol. and lebrons continued to do this for 2 decades. thats just insanity. with the tools lebron was given, he easily outshined kobe himself. was AN MVP OVER KOBE himself! just saying. If kobe is considered todays jordan then lebron has a 16-6 record against him - that has to mean something. Honestly, i wish we saw a kobe+lebron team - those team USA games where both were on the same team was just truly insane.

[@scoop2448]

​@@quicktoreason2722 Strongly disagree. I don't think you've done much research on Hakeem. In his 2nd season he carried the 1986 team to the Finals without starting guard John Lucas past Magic/Kareem's defending champ Lakers and took the 1986 Celtics to 6 games with Sampson ejected in Game 5. From 1987 to 1994, Hakeem played with one of the worst supporting casts of all-time as Sampson was injured in 1987 and left soon after. In 1987 Hakeem lost to the Sonics in the WCSF despite putting up 30-13 with 4 bpg on 60%. In 1988 he put up 2000 Finals MVP Shaq-type numbers with 38-17-2-2-3 on 57% yet his garbage team couldn't get him out the first round. As for early Lebron, he was carrying them but not vs good playoff teams. He only beat one 50 win team in the playoffs during his time on Cavs from 2003 to 2010. From 2006 to 2010, 4 of 8 teams LeBron beat in the Playoffs were 0.500 or worse 2007 - two 0.500 teams, the 53 win Pistons without Ben Wallace (17-13 record vs West) 2012 - he had Wade and Bosh. He beat a couple good teams but old Celtics had a losing 7-11 record vs West, no Avery Bradley due to injury "and lebron willed that team to the finals lol. and lebrons continued to do this for 2 decades" This is just absurd. He only carried 2 teams to finals (07 and 18). And his competition was weak compared to west. The other years he had 1-2 other all stars. Hakeem on the other hand had to beat 3 50+ win teams in the 1994 title run and FOUR 57+ win teams (and 2 60+ win teams) in the 1995 title run, which has never been done before or since. Kobe only has 1 MVP and even Steve Nash won 2 MVPs over him so that's not saying much. And regular season record vs kobe doesnt mean much. Lebron had two 1 seed 60+ win teams in 2009 and 2010 yet couldnt get to the finals vs Kobe. That would have been great to watch.

[@quicktoreason2722]

@@scoop2448 are you going to forget that wade was hurt for a some of it and bosh became a role player? and by the way. its not my words, nba players themselves say that he carried the 2012 team - and 2018 by far is the biggest carry job of them all - i acknowledge your points about Hakeem but unlike hakeem - lebron played in multiple eras where there were more than 3 players on the court that were an offensive threat - in the current era of the nba - all 5 are an offensive threat - while being in that era - he carried a team full of injured players against a YOUNG celtics team, an overly successful raptors team that were the NUMBER 1 seed in the league at that time and simply walked past them- to say this wasnt the best carry job is a joke- i remember they were even saying during the game that lbj's performance that year was the single greatest playoff performance ever -

[@yoofij4724]

You guys have both made some great points. I haven’t looked at hakeem as much so I’m going to,

[@davis2k1234]

Kobe in 2008-2010 is the biggest carry job ever Hakeem had Clyde 22PPG 5/5 in 1995 and Otis Thorpe was a all star PF in 1992

[@mauricegotit]

He really made it with this team & game 2 vs pacers he out scored the team 16-1 first quarter is crazy

[@Cascao-012]

Extremely well deserved (vid)title

[@ziogas2000]

new nba logo should be lebrons that unguardable almost 3pt line fadeaway - once he retires. just way too iconic, I've seen 4 generation of people right now doing it in streets its just crazy.

[@W.orld.Breaker]

Greatest basketball player ever in between the lines! No debate!

[@tylerriley5976]

Hakeem Olajuwon in 94 is the best individual playoff run ever.

[@mmark_1998]

[@M_11_m41n]

That 2018 Finals run was probably the worst that could've happened to Cleveland that year.

Yes and yes

[@rayfamily4893]

Yet the Lebron haters count 18’s final loss against him. They shouldn’t have even made the playoffs. One of the greatest runs ever. Remember watching it all unfold. Doesn’t seem that long ago!

He carried them to the WCF only because after that he got swept against real competition

This is why la bron and cavs won they're first chip because the king was absolutely amazing in 2018 and in the playoffs congrats to the cavs for winning they're first chip that season la bron said he was going to bring Cleveland they're first chip and he delivered that year 💪😁😉💯

[@Jokoman019]

Prime lebron is averaging 45 in the 80s. People love jordan more because he was first and people romanticize and glorify anything thats was in the 80s and 90s as if everything was perfect
