The argument is yea in the beginning it was rougher but as he aged the NBA lost all the true centers, and the game became way less physical which benefits a 260lb guy, on top of medicine improving. Which in turn helped his body maintain. Yes he deserves credit for remaining focused for this long. But no one has benefitted from the game changing more than lebron. I’m not knocking him I think he is an amazing talent. But his fans refuse to use common sense most of the time and that why lebron gets so much hate I think it’s not him it’s a product of his fans. If u notice players not just lebrin are all playing way longer, and that trend will continue.

Lebron's first 13 seasons until after 2016 the NBA was much lower scoring and more defense oriented than the league Jordan played in his first 9 seasons before the first retirement in 93-94... Lebron had playoff opponents who allowed like 90ppg and Jordan's most were over 100ppg allowed. Seems like nobody ever noticed or acknowledged that Lebron's early career stats may have been alot greater in a faster paced league.

They forget how crazy those Detroit series were, people thought the Bad Boy Pistons were hard to get through but they just abused the lack of a flagrant foul existing, soon as they established the rule they got swept, cause they fall apart without abusing hard fouls. 2000s pistons had actual defensive skill, they made Kobe (the closest thing to Michael Jordan) look like Khris Middleton in 04. Hell you could argue it even made Shaq leave. Great era.

They also may have been lower if not for some rule changes that shifted the game towards favoring perimeter play. Some of Lebron's seasons were lower paced then some of Jordan's that is true. But none of Jordan's were played with rules being massively leaned towards perimeter "guard play". Pace of play is a much better argument when talking about comparisons with Kareem than it is with Jordan. Not only did Kareem play in some of the fastest paced seasons in NBA history, at that time the rules favored post play which also helped Kareem and his game.

@@craigjohnston5781 look at the field goal percentages of alot of players in the 2000s in series they played against 90ppg allowed defenses like the Pistons, Celtics, Spurs etc. It's not like it was only slow paced but easier to score on . Unless you just imagine everyone in the league just got drastically worse conveniently the day MJ retired, defense was better in the 2000s and early 10s than it was in Jordan's first run with the Bulls 85-93. 96-98 is when the league grew really defensive oriented , and it's reflected in Jordan being less efficient. The slower pace he'd have less rebounds and assist but still got his shots up.

I think the finals record he has is massively unfairly held against Bron. It’s an unbelievable feat he carried the cavs in 07 and Warriors had to get KD to stop Bron dominating an all time dynasty. I’d like to think what Brons record could have been if the cavs actually supported him and got him a ‘pippen’ or such. Can’t wait for the cavs to draft Bronny and Garland, Mitchell, Bron, Mobley and Allen win his last chip in year 22

@@RugumiTenshi can you give examples? Not saying you are wrong at all, just thought it would be cool to see the list of examples. I might be taking this too specifically, but while I can think of Jeremy Lin type examples, that was only like Feb 4 to Feb 20th you know? And he wasn’t averaging 30. He scored over 30 once. TJ warren went crazy for like what? 10 games etc? But Brunson latelt feels a LoT more like Shai going from a 20 ppg guy to a legit 30 ppg guy through some sort of breakthrough mentally than it does some solid but not great player jusr having a hot 1-2 months. I’ve been confused since last season why so many people seemed to undervalue how good Brunson had PROVEN he was/is. And he’s so young it makes sense that with his first taste of consistent starting and lead role, he would eventually get even better than the 20/6 type shit we were able to see as a spot starter. Seems like it took him a couple months to really get acclimated, and now he’s realizing just how elite of a scorer he can and how he truly has the green light, minutes and role to produce as much as his heart desires. Id assume as long as he continues to take such an aggressive approach, he’ll continue to score 25-30 a night

On a side note, Rusty talks about how if John Stockton (who was the pass first player he showed a photo of later) had a more well rounded game, then he’d be more impactful than he was in reality and Utah would have been better. If that were the case, then in addition to Stockton getting fewer assists, would Karl Malone (ergo: he who shall not be named) have fewer points because there would be fewer shots for him if Stockton took more of them? Say what you want about John Stockton being overrated, but the fact remains, he was effectively one player on Malone’s team who could pass, and was nearly always looking to do so.

The majority of basketball heads recognize Lebron as a great basketabll player. However, they patently reject the GOAT nonsense. He's done plenty to be considered one of the greats. He hasn't done nearly enough to be considered the absolute best.

Absolutely outstanding. Saw your Heat video to gain an understanding of my city's potential finals opponents #MileHighTilIDie (I'm not a natural basketball nut, but when the Nuggets did the thing, i wanted to do research. I have been following the Nuggets for years as a casual outsider). And then i saw this. Instant subscriber, and i'm a soccer and hockey fan. Epic and informative. 30 for 30 level compelling. And the music choice for the drop somewhere around the 33rd - 34th minute(?), when he sinks the long jumper against Golden State. Just sensational.

Considering how many people once thought Kareems record was "Unbreakable" before Lebron broke it, let's not get too carried away with the notion that Lebrons record is unbreakable. Even if he plays a few more seasons and passes 40K, I'm sure there will be another freak of nature in the future that can break it with a combination of skills we have never seen before. I think as incredible as athletes are now, we still have a way to go before we truly start hitting the physical limits of what is possible.

It will take some superhuman durability and god like scoring talent to break Lebron's record though.

Given that scoring in the nba has increased now, I imagine that it will get broken by someone if this continues. The only person in the league who I could see doing it is luca (he will get too slow and too worn out as he ages). Assuming this season ppg of 33.2 and his last 4 seasons have the average number of games he will play per season, he would have to play and not decline until he is 37/38. Giannis could if he gained a jump shot and had the longevity of lebron +3 years lol. Jokic started off too slow.

@@sportstalkonly1442 yea but for a good deal of that time the NBA primarily emphasized scoring off 2pt shots. Now that 3’s are so heavily favored, 40 point games are becoming commonplace. I think if a superstar player comes along that is a knockdown volume 3pt shooter, and has the durability to stay healthy and play nearly 20 years, that player will break the record. That is a big fat IF but it could happen.

@@JacksonHole83 I did say LeBron isn't the GOAT though. I only said he's the most accomplished ever, and there's a difference between having the most accolades and being the greatest. Napoleon is arguably the most accomplished general in history. Is he better than Alexander the Great? No, but they should both be respected nonetheless, which is essentially what my point is in my original comment. Seriously though, as someone who believes MJ is the GOAT, y'all need to calm down a little with this stuff.
