Love you’re comment, as you 💯.. That’s what it is! As he continues to break record after record, how much he puts into the game with all his attributes, that off the charts IQ, and accomplishing what he has, on and off the court and still doing this in year 20.. He’s a phenomenon, freak of nature and so skilled with that amazing athleticism and God given talent.. Still, some will say that’s not enough smdh 🤫.. Have a nice day.

[@Xainorsum]

@@Thorcat001this is so backhanded 😭 you somehow managed to disrespect his legacy in a comment that was supposed to praise him. His is far far ahead of 7th-14th all time. He’s more like top 1-2. Also, he’s won 4 titles. You also added “with other perennial all stars” to try and make it seem like it counts less, when he was the leader of all those teams and best player on them by far. Won all 4 FMVPs and played against all completely stacked teams his whole career.

[@Thorcat001]

@@Xainorsum 1 or 2. Umm. No. Kareem, Jordan , wilt, Duncan, Kobe, Magic and Russell are for sure better. If titles are you criteria then All of them have more except wilt but he is called the record book for a reason. And yes he needs other perennial all stars as he could not get it some with reg all stars in Cleveland. He runs to other super teams when they fall apart. Miami with Wade and bosh. Celevand2 he has Irving and love, along with many strong role players, lakers with Davis and many former all stars. He choked in the finals after coming out of the super weak east. He scored less that 8 point in to finals.

I noticed lebron just has no active hands on defense he just watches, that’s the difference between him and Jordan. Jordan was a two way player and that kinda of defensive tenacity rubs off on your teammates, not to take anything away from lebron because he definitely played an spectacular game and as you said this is the best game of his career!! And if you watch him on the defensive end he isn’t aggressive like Jordan which is why Jordan did win defense player of the year award and also lead the league in steals.
