"Lebron, you are the only guy that can become the greatest to ever play this game" Are you gonna argue with Magic Johnson???

[@nikosvault]

can.

[@Alexzanzibar1]

+ExceedtheHype.com Could've, but now he can't. Not his fault, but lost twice again. Nowhere near Jordan in the win column.

[@LeatherBootz]

+Zanzi The Cheefah Yeah, definitely ruined his legacy losing in the finals rather than in the first round

[@Alexzanzibar1]

Danilo Gallinari lol idk what you're saying but if they're swept in the 1st round then you as a player/team underachieved OR stood no absolute chance at that pont. Making it all the way to the Finals shows you're at least some what formidable and you got them over the hump but getting swept that late means you ultimately fell on your face or something went wrong else you wouldn't be there.

[@nikosofidemporas]

+Zanzi The Cheefah Making all the way to the finals with 2+superstar teams in one of the weakest East, and generally, conferences ever? With a team like that, he gets a free pass to the finals from a conference like that. Losing so many times on finals though.. No, he won't be considered the best. Right now the face of NBA has changes, the greatest shooter of all time(Curry) is changing the game.

[@eddietucker4222]

forreal bruh

[@jakirmalik9399]

I just hate the last hand shake because with the white race you always have to adjust yourself to them..I am black and arab and we had to do so much to adjust to white people from everything to changing up our name and also adopting their white culture..When I was young I didnt realize what was going on but as I got older I realized wtf am I doing...I have nothing against white people but I feel like the world always has to adjust to them

[@Brwmiagoon305mia]

😂😂😂 thought I was the only one who caught it

[@owencaldwell578]

Jakir Malik I think Bill would have loved to do a handshake like the other two but LeBron didn't really give him a choice. But also take your race goggles off for a second and realize that LeBron has a different type of respect for Magic and Jalen because they PLAYED in the NBA which is like a fraternity. And the only relationship he has with Bill is professional, through TV. It's not about black and white

At least Lebron was humble enough to admit it takes a little bit of luck to win.

[@aaronday7677]

omieg89 I don’t think he was humble, it’s called being real.

[@Jaychilled]

It always takes luck, just look at what he’s had to deal with since getting to the cavs and even now with his best chance to probably win another title and the season gets shut down. It sound weird but lebron is probably the most unlucky all time great ever

[@nazgul9538]

If Ginobil doesnt go 2/4 from the FT line we wouldnt be talking about Kawhi's miss or Ray's insane backpedaling three. crazy finals

[@Jaychilled]

Dats a paddlin not only great cities but teams with great management that made great moves or had pieces that contributed . Lebron was stuck with a dumpster fire for his entire athletic prime . They didn’t trade Hickson for stoudemire and only added mo and antwan who weren’t game changers in any way. Like look at Kobe and Jordan for example who we tend to compare to bron a lot. Kobe got sent with shaq and Phil jack immediately. Jordan lost all those playoff series and his management got him exactly what he needed, Phil, Scottie, grant , kukoc and all them boys to compliment Jordan perfectly and now we look at Jordan like the perfect player / career. They made game winning plays for that team that will never be brought to light since they didn’t play in the social media era. Lebron has gotten teammates that really ruined his chances if anything honestly. Looking past that cavs stint where he had nobody, he choked 2011, the only series he was responsible for. 2014, he was the only one who showed up and the spurs played out of their minds. 2015 he lost Kyrie n love 2016 he had one consistent teammate and y’all see what happened 2017 he leaves the game for a minute and warriors go up 10 with kyrie on the court 2018 he had nobody, his pg misses a free throw, jr smith runs the ball out and his coaches don’t call a timeout

[@superdopehiphop]

Magic Johnson keeping it real throughout: “Lebron and I’m serious too and I’ve seen everybody play. You are the only I guy I think who can become the greatest player to ever play the game!” “Not a better face for this league”. Don’t think he was recruiting Lebron for Lakers 5 years Early. Just 2 of the 3 Mount Rushmore GOAT along with MJ & Kareem

[@Ahziial]

It’s crazy to think that if the chips had fallen a different way he might of had the best career ever. Cavs terrible front office for his first what 8 years?? Kyrie and Love getting injured in 2015. Warriors coming back from 3-1 to beat okc leading to kd going to gsw. The only mark on his resume is the 2011 finals against the Mavs where he disappeared.

[@TheLionaaa]

Magic loves Lebron and Lebron was a beautiful champion this day. He was so charismatic in this interview. I also think that the greatest quality of Magic is also its greatest character defect but, to say it politely : he is just too enthusiastic sometimes. He overreacts sometimes and he did it twice in this video not only when he talked about being the greatest but also when he talks about being the smartest player, when he said the very same day that it was Duncan(and I agree). I love magic for that and I don't blame him. But...let's just say he did the right thing by leaving ESPN. But Lebron was just brilliant and inspirational on and off the court that day. Great stuff

LeBron is just like Michael Jordan, one of those people you just catch your self in awe of based merely on their presence (espc in Miami) you just get caught people watching with those 2, and just in awe man. You literally never got that from any other NBA player besides Bill Russell MJ, and now LBJ. That's why he will always be linked with MJ no matter how bad/good he plays and how much he fails, he has that aura every now and then. One of those icons can't help but to just watcheven when you're in crowd/room and others are talkin (no homo), a human phenom

[@mustafizur123]

Slacker4Life3 like i said even with that line up cleveland isnt winning shit, and thats why wade took 28 games off this yr, and why he looks more healthy in the playoffs then the last 2 yrs combined, and yeah i would take the heat line up instead of the cleveland. and after what dan gilbert called lebron and fans burning his jersey do you really think he would wanna come to that place, i sure as hell wouldnt

[@Slacker4Life3]

mustafizur123 you're dumb if you think miami has a chance to win it next year. the west will be better and.half their bench will be gone and wades getting older..lebrons best bet is to go back to cleveland (his real team) and make a super team there.even if he stays in miami next year im certain 100% he'll leave in 2015

until the 2014 finals miami had played 15 nba playoff series with lebron and in all 15 miami was the best team and I watched every dribble...so they should have three peated...lebron cost them a ring...now in 2014 spo cost them the ring but you cant win every title and 3 would have been enough... the only reason they lost in 2014 was cause the point guards mario and cole were so terrible....spo should have put in battier and haslem and beasly, play lebron ray allen or wade at point and benched the 2 point guards who looked lost but he stuck with the 2 short bums every game and they lost...they only combined to avg 7 points a night which is horrible...3 rebs and 4 assists with 4 turnovers a night and bad defense...lebron should have yelled at rio to wake up but he didnt...battier and haslem didnt play at all and beasly showed in game 5 in 16 minutes he scored 10 points...he didnt get to play in games 1-4 neither did battier all series not even 1 minute ...the same battier who had been a luck charm for the heat.......they should have used both of them in game 4...for offense cause they couldnt buy a jumper...they were stacked on offense all year but they chose to shorten their rotation to guys who sucked and spo didnt realize after game 3 that he needs to change...no wonder why lebron left......giving up mike miller and not playing battier or beasly hurt...wade and bosh looked tired....you need depth...now with that the 2012 ecf went 7 was because bosh got hurt and missed games 1-5...that was the only iffy series in my mind but once bosh came back the team was complete and went 6-1 the rest of the way to the title......now in 2011 lebron didnt show up thats why they lost...period...he was told by his friends to lose so his redemption story the next year could make fans who rooted against him love him again after failing instead of winning right way in miami...if he beat dallas it would have looked bad...think about the way lebron acted on camera like a child and how he played in games 3-6...exactly....and his media answers...they seem fake especially after his amazing ecf against the bulls....lebron scoring 8 points when hes 2 win from his first title?..no way....somethings up...especially if you go back and watch the entire 4th...lebron didnt play hard at all...and he was so lazy on defense....he took 1 shot lol...in a super close game....they only lost by 3...dallas only scored 86...that proved to me he didnt want to win...i didnt even need to watch game 5 or 6...i knew he wasnt trying to win anymore....he just stood by and watched his team play 4 on 5 in the 4th of 4 straight games...it was 2 years in a row he blew a 2-1 lead...smh!...lebrons never had a 2-0 lead in the finals or been down 2-0 in a playoff series since 2008....
