It is not hyperbole to say LeBron is having the best season of his career | FIRST THINGS FIRST

[@FirstThingsFirst]

Is this LeBron's best season as a pro?

[@mikeantoine9782]

No his last year in Mami was.

[@raferalstonisgoat4457]

Yes, so far it is. 43% from three and 58% from the field and averaging 28 pts 7 reb and 8 assists with the same usage rate as before. This is superhuman type numbers.

[@CREOLEHEAT]

shooting wise.

I watched jordan in his prime and now lebron, both are great in there own right but people don't understand there two different players!!!!!!

[@folkscrazyouthere3076]

abdul smith duhh that's obvious lol people compare the dominace not the style of play.

[@arizonaFIREent]

[@davidholcomb9393]

LBJ is the greatest of the modern NBA players and on a very short list of the best we have ever seen.

[@MegaTank40]

If by modern you mean the last 6 years then ya

[@2nifty201]

Modern is from 90's -10's

[@gallihyde]

MegaTank40 haha yep cause kobe was better than him from the year lebron entered the league and bron bron still/probably wont ever best him

[@kaywill9677]

Wesley Broome LeBron is much better than Kobe but not Jordan. Kobe is not even better than Shaq, Tim Duncan, and Karl Malone.

[@gallihyde]

Mr. Dutt kobe also has 10 all nba denfense teams lebron has like 5 or maybe 6

[@aj427a]

He's definitely the best post Jordan player

Savage season 15

[@outtabad]

Jordan > Lebron Not even close

[@CREOLEHEAT]

LeBron will be up there with Jordan and Kareem. They all have reasons to be called the GOAT. LeBron may surpass them both because he combines both of the arguments for Jordan and Kareem. He's been dominate AND has the longevity to back it up. He's also the most decorated player in the game much like Jordan and Kareem were.If he can maintain a high level of play for another 3-5 seasons, I don't see how you can argue against his claim.

[@tjrod4089]

It’s crazy how true this is

[@J23Durham]

[@LT-xb5su]

[@jaleeneverette4588]

[@vic9844]

Dr Lee but can you use a different argument than rings.... Since that is a team thing

[@jessesjourney5973]

[@jessesjourney5973]

Dr Lee 7 straight finals

[@legendaryfizz4883]

Year 15, scoring 18 straight just to beat the Nets. He need to get off the Cavs. It's a waste this year.

[@BB13131313]

When LeBron gets in a zone like that, you just move out the way and let him do his thing.. he was in a zone, it had nothing to do with his teammates not being able to score..

You realize that they're missing their rim protector, the starting and bench point guard right?

LeBron is the 2018 NBA MVP.

[@nlkoala9292]

Lebron james Played 44% without an all star player lmao nuff said lebron Will be the GOAT MJ ain’t a better basketball player bruh

[@coachk6471]

LMAO Jordan has 6 championships bud, Jordan also never lost in the finals and he definitely didn't get cooked by jason terry in 2011 lmao , Look up "Jordan Rules" teams had to switch their whole scheme to guard jordan . LOL

[@lebronisgoat623g7]

Coach K 1. Terry didnt "cook" anyone. He was role player with significantly less responsibility that made shots. Anyone who knows basketball knows this. 2. Championships dont make u BETTER AT BASKETBALL. No one would argue Jordan had a better career but Lebron is the more talented basketball player. Can u name one team Jordan played in the finals thats better than any version of Golden State the last 3 years? You wpuld struggle to find any better than the Spurs

[@squirt0007dc]

LEBRONISGOAT623 G can you name a team mj lost to in the playoffs that compares to the 2011 mavericks? He only lost to some of the greatest teams ever in the bird's Celtics and bad boy pistons... And when he lost it wasnt on him. He didn't CHOKE like Lebron against an inferior team.

[@lionofjudah4492]

LEBRONISGOAT623 G Lebron is a superstar and jordan was a superstar and in basketball we measure the greatness by living up to your super stardom if you will, and also championship so stop trying to fit your own narratives so calm down bro its okay lebron definitely will be top 10

[@thegreatone9850]

WTF r u talking about LEBITCH always has had a Superstar player with him EVERY YEAR

[@dialgafrost010]

Lebron James has more Finals shooting under 40% than Jordan's has TOTAL PLAYOFF SERIES shooting under 40% Lebron has shot over 50% in 1 Final to Jordan's 3 Lebron has averaged 30+ in 1 Final, at 39% FG. Jordan has 5 times, 3 times over 50% and never under 42% MJ has a higher playoff 3-pt % and much higher Finals 3-pt% Lebron 6-8 250 only averaged over 1.0 blocks per game 3 times Jordan 6-6 195 averaged over 1.0 blocks per games 4 times & averaged 1.6 Jordan shot 50% as a Rookie & averaged 28 Lebron as a Rookie shot 41% & averaged 20 Jordan averaged more than 2.0 steals per game Ten times Lebron averaged more than 2.0 steals per game Once Jordan averaged 30 PPG while shooting 50% FIVE times Lebron ZERO times Jordan shot 80% from the free throw line 12 times Lebron ZERO times If You Noticed, I never mentioned 6 for 6 in the Finals with 6 Finals MVP's

[@metallicafan416]

dialgafrost010 LeBron is playing against warriors and spurs Jordan was playing teams that couldn't win 1 game against either

[@0lboss1545]

first things first: lets talk about lebron

[@spencerrosant5794]

they need to stop comparing lebron's 3 pt percentage to steph...obviously steph is the better shooter

[@lebronisgoat623g7]

Sydney Rosant not this year and theyre both around the same attempts per game. And theyre not spot up threes, a lot of em are stepbacks off the dribble late in games

[@devinmartinez5188]

LEBRONISGOAT623 G FAX

[@devinmartinez5188]

John Hawthorne Id agree with u but ao far this season lebron has been a better shooter and thats just fax

[@zerti86]

obviously Lebron is shooting better this year tho ;))

[@anthonylawton52]

John Hawthorne now say it without crying

[@ajaxforever5473]

MJ is the greatest ever. LBJ is the best ever. And i am a HUGE MJ fan.

[@mikeweezy6288]

AjaxForever LIES!

[@heatlifer1531]

That might be how history is actually written. Damian Lilliard had it right, "no one is going to LET anyone be greater than MJ".

[@mikeweezy6288]

Heat Lifer did u watch MJ play...folks like to talk stats but talk about era too! No defensive 3 secs or no handchecking in today’s game...no actual post playing legit big men, back then the big man could stay home and sit in the paint unlike today it’s defensive 3 secs like bro I understand Lebron is a beast...but go look at MJs stats and accolades, do ya research

[@BrotherO4]

i did, this is why i know the Bulls where the GSW team of today...stacked but without a Second team close enough to give them a fight. of course MJ fans will try to boost teams with no bench and one/two stars as something dangerous to a Team that had the Star, The SF, the PF, The Role player, The Couch, and a great supporting cast

[@otinane4051]

+BrotherO4 oh so in his first 3 peat jordan had a GSW team? really now?smh

[@gibranleon2997]

Nick Wright looks slow. Acts like it too.

[@jessesjourney5973]

Put lebron on mjs bulls and put mj on lebrons heat/cavs.. lebron with pippen and rodman tho..

[@davidmackenzie9899]

Late points can steal a teams momentum, points always matter when they're scored.

[@kefkapalazzo1]

Yeah that point of nicks was ridiculous. Clutch points matter more

[@ballersb88]

kefkapalazzo1 you wouldn’t need clutch points if you score a lot at first. Doesn’t matter when they’re scored, points count the same.

[@valour8510]

false

[@Myblacknadz]

when game is close and in 4th quarter alot of players choke hence why clutch points matter more.

[@Thren55]

[@Yoni123]

Nick doesn't even care about basketball. He's just in love with LeBron

[@kingjames1056]

That's impressive 42% from downtown

I am a huge fan of LeBron James but there is no way in heck that he is better than Michael Jordan

[@henrycorey7836]

"I think he just stared at it and it fixed just like when he broke his wrist in the finals and made the free throw" 😂😂

[@bennyhath1789]

Nick just HAD to give him an extra rebound and assist

[@matttheknicksfan]

*ITS ALSO NOT A HYPERBOLE TO SAY HES BETTER THAN JORDAN*

[@swaggerdnice123]

I love this show. But I honestly feel like the lady brings nothing to the show. But to the point of LBJ, he's just the goat plain and simple, if we don't include rings he's obviously passed MJ I long time ago but hey I'm just a fan

[@TheStocktonSlab]

This is now the best sports show on tv

[@janavolio4976]

No, Although his shooting percentage is higher (especially from 3's) but his defense was so dominant back then. He got snubbed the defensive player of the year that year (no slight to Marc Gasol) and this year his defense is still good but not nearly to the level of what it was then.

[@offthismid3375]

LeBron best year was 08-09 bruh what are y'all talking about

[@sulekamara9656]

Nope 12-13 even though he had allstars playing with him

[@thomashester2]

sule kamara that's the most efficient he's been and hit the dagger against Spurs

[@lucasballard4406]

L

[@offthismid3375]

I take that back it was 07-08 when he averaged 30 8 and 7 shooting 53% from the field and 34% from the 3

[@2villainy950]

He still tryna justify his reasoning for lebron being the goat...

[@corsinoparan8573]

my nominee for MVP are lebron, and kyrie

[@shaneth138]

Jordan will always have LeBron on titles but LeBron is going to be more accomplished than him in just about everything else. Also, its impossible to even entertain a debate about anyone being better than LeBron in their 15th season. Nobody has ever been in the same realm of what LeBron is doing so late in his career.

[@SILMANTV]

This channel and comment section is full of Lebron loving Nick Wright fan boys Jesus

[@eczotiic8026]

If you want a shitload of comments, put LeBron and G.O.A.T in the same sentence.

[@kd35beast24]

Steph takes much more 3's and people guard him heavily and don't want him to shoot the 3 while opponents want LBJ to shoot the 3. Just stop comparing those 2 based on 3 point shooting

[@mefadon459]

When do you see in the league they compare a SF shooting and styles to a PG and SG? His shooting and dribbling aint gonna be no where near a pg and sg level. The positions is used for different purpose. Its a honor they compare lebron to other position, cuz he outplaying his position.

[@trapfilmz6790]

Lebron is better than curry at what curry does best lol

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

I think the debate was NEVER that Jordan was pound for pound a better basketball PLAYER. The argument was that LeBron's LEGACY would not match Jordan's, which raises the question of Jordan's LEGACY matches Russell's.

[@arizonaFIREent]

Emmanuel Enyinwa or kareems

[@rayleigh8]

Russell has no legacy, even in his time he was not considered the best, wilt was. There were only 8 teams in his time. If it werent for the NBA propping hims up, naming awards after him and bringing him to present mvp tophies, nobody would know who he is. Even his own boston fans didnt like him much. MJ is the most famous athlete in the history of sports. He's the reason players are earning tens of millions of dollars a year, even wilt chamberlain said that every player should give 10% of their earning to MJ. Jordan's legacy cannot be matched by anyone.

[@brashadcarr6759]

Emmanuel Enyinwa mj is just better period on both sides

[@seriouslyfuckutube]

[@Mektek19]

People need to understand that Bron has coasted during the regular season since he returned to the Cavs that why he us so fresh this season. He hasn't played defense in years.

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

Nick burnishing his Bronsexual credentials one show at a time.

[@justinidle7086]

[@siphillis]

Offensively, this is his best season. Defensively, he's not even scratching the surface of what he was doing in 2013.

[@hereforthedubs6816]

The goat conversation is all about the game evolving and the person that is currently on the scene. They'll be someone else in a few years. It keeps ratings up but it doesn't make sense to argue.

[@friendlyperson3250]

Anyone think Lonzo runs around slowly because he's trying to save his stamina? Lebron can play those minutes because he's an athletic machin

[@jaimemario_]

You forgot the a before a hyperbole

[@maryrose4341]

I think Nick and Skip are best friends they always talked too much when it comes to Lebron on being great 😂 Why can't they just appreciate his greatness before he retires 💪😂😊

[@501stJackal]

The fact that Boston could pull a 16 game winning streak this early should scare a lot of teams out there and Lebron is looking amazing early on too this Season looks promising also OKC, HOU, the Sixers, the Bucks plenty of options dont be a Bangwagoner and get behind a team early on y'all have a lot of options

[@konkretent]

[@Donya195]

I think Nick gets hard when he talks about LeBron!!

[@yooojb6681]

Skip losing his mind listening to this.

[@andresgriborio6348]

Plus assist and points are going to go down for Lebron when thomas comes back..

[@juhuisda4360]

Where was nick, when he cavs lost against the warriors?Nowhere to been seen.

[@bentimblin22]

Lebron probably shoots way less 3 pointers than steph, so you can’t compare the percent without taking the amount of shots into consideration

[@heatlifer1531]

Tell Curry to stop shooting 5 more three's than LeBron every game if they're not going in.

[@coryevan7632]

kind of incorrect. they both of a large enough sample size of 3 pointers attempted to compare the percentage so... it is fair.

[@brashadcarr6759]

Cory Evan so your claiming lebron is the better shooter?

[@venusspacey9685]

Ben Timblin you can’t counter his statement with a “probably.” And we all know Curry’s a better shooter. You know the point wasn’t to place lebron over curry when it comes to 3 point shooting. Stop flexing

[@venusspacey9685]

Bkc 14 you know that’s not what he saying tho.. curry a better shooter. Percentage wise lebron’s a better 3 point shooter than curry has been this year

[@bobbyd6097]

Lebron is having a great season and after 14 years that's awesome. His 3pt is better at around 41% and I remember when MJ averaged 43% in 96 that was a big deal too. I don't think Lebron is MVP right now, for me that James Harden but there's still 60+ games to go!

[@ln9574]

Bron the G.O.A.T

[@SP-rh4et]

Both Kyrie and Lebron have the ability to be the number one option on a contender (no duh with Lebron, he's done it for years). I didn't like the split at first, but it's much better entertainment so I'm all for it. Who doesn't want competition? Lets just enjoy it lol

[@SP-rh4et]

You could be right, being the first option during a playoff series is much different. No argument there, I'm just making an assumption based on the evidence I have so far. And I'd still take the Cavs in 6, but I'm just escited that we may finally have a legit entertaining playoof series in the East. Hasn't happened since Pacers Heat in 13 and 14 so I'm just pumped for that, but you could be right and this might be the same script as the last 2-3 years

[@blanktrigger8863]

I love this show man. They have the best chemistry on TV atm besides the TNT crew.

[@onomatopoeia5540]

Lebron And Choke rhymes together

[@andresgriborio6348]

Of course they don't count the same Nick Wright... You are telling me scoring 20 pts in a comeback in the last qt is the same as scoring 20 pts and be winning by 15-20

3 n 5 in the Finals GTFOH

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

LeBron worked on his shooting this off season, he's a much better shooter now, that could give him another ring. Plus this is the best team he ever had.

[@antoniobonebeatz]

if LeBron never left Cleveland would people still be hating 🤔 going back and winning them a championship don't erase it. Nope because people hate regardless LeBron could score 100 points and average 50 rebounds and Jordan will still be better in people eyes because he has six rings. give LeBron a Scottie pippen a Dennis Rodman and a real coach . He never had a real coach just imagine if he did.
