When all is said and done, and we begin to look back at Lebron’s career, 10-15 years after he retires. All of you Lebron apologists are going to have to face some cold hard facts! He went 8-9 years in Cleveland and couldn’t get it done. He went to Miami with Bosh and Wade, and when he said that he thought that they could win 7; they won 2 in 4 years. And, when they lost that last series; he bounced without telling Wade or Riley what his plans were. He then went back to Cleveland. This time with a legitimate # 2 with Kyrie, and still had to get Kevin Love in order to win! Also, you didn’t hear about Love having mental health issues until he hooked up with Lebron! Tyronn Lue in 2018, had to take a medical leave of absence dealing with the drama that is LeBron James! Finally, most of these teams he helps assembles as the unofficial GM! But, when things don’t turn out right, he distances himself as if he had nothing to do with it! Look at Miami and Cleveland now! Both teams are doing very well! It took a little bit. But, that’s how the process goes! He has never been and never will be the GOAT!

I never seen Jordan did that after the Piston beat them twice. He had a desire & hunger to be the best by training harder, putting more weight and muscle and practice post up move against bigger & taller player and etc. Jordan is the GOAT and should be the poster child of the NBA and his legacy will be hard work & perseverance for those upcoming young ballers.

The same Kyrie that was considered trash before LeBron and the same Love that was considered trash in cleveland. So two trash players on the cavs were the reason the warriors won?

Fun fact: No top 10 in any sport history has a losing final record with at least 6 final losses despite of all these quitting, hopping and handpicking all these stacked teams to try to chase an easy ring. Keep in mind that lebron would have easily been 1-8-1 without bailout by allen in 2013 and silver stimulus package in 2016. If Lebron didn't benefit most of his career in the weak east (Esp when Lebron needed multiple big 3 stacked teams in order to get out of weak east), Lebron would have never made to a single final appearance if he had played his whole career in the west, which Lebron is only 18/49 final games against the west while lebron has demonstrated over again and again that he can't even carry his own team to a playoff berth in the west unless being saved and carried by AD, Esp in this whole embarrassing AD trade saga... Even worse, Lebron is only 10-10 against teams with 50+ wins and 3-5 against teams with 60+ wins in the playoffs despite of all these stacked teams lebron handpicked himself.

Anyone who knows the data, understands instinctively that Michael Jordan has no peer. That is not a knock against LeBron James who is a generational talent and most impressive. This is just in recognition of the fact that Michael Jordan leads LeBron James on so many levels across the board and is so persistently dominant that it begs an explanation. Michael Jordan leads LeBron in P ER, box plus minus, win share average, and value over replacement player average. Jordan also leads LeBron in game score, which calculates the 100 most outstanding games played in the last 40 years by any individual athlete in the NBA. To be sure, LeBron James acquits himself very well in this category, claiming three of the most outstanding games in NBA history. Michael Jordan, however, is on another level, with 19 such games. That literally means that one out of every five of the most outstanding games performed by an NBA athlete in the last 40 years goes to Mr. Jordan. No wonder he’s the goat.

there are too many coincidences surrounding Lebrons legacy. Cleveland getting 3 #1 picks in 4 years so the team could trade away assets for another Superteam. The league awarding Draymond a technical foul after the game 4 Finals (he didnt get a tech during the game) . New Orleans getting #1 draft pick so they would have a reason/incentive to trade AD to the Lakers. Lebron is great, but the league has had a hand in his legacy no doubt.

Where are all of the current players wearing #23 due to LeBron??? Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, Cam Thomas, Jason Tatum, and SEVERAL others said Kobe was their guy

[@twodeepupyours508]

And another thing☝ Lebron doesn't say that CAVS team is the greatest team of all time for winning that 1 series☝, He says that made HIM the greatest of all time! SMH🤢

Why does coming back from being down squeal GOAT? It’s a great accomplishment but never making it to a game 7 in the finals is a lot more impressive .

[@CommonNotCommon24-7]

All these top75 list all have 1 thing in common at the #1 spot. If you haven't seen every list just take a guess like your life on the line at whose #1 on every list. MJ (Jordan)

[@rreed336]

Who else is suppose to think you're the best if you don't think you're the best. I have no issue with anyone believing they're the best at their craft. LeBron and MJ are great in their own right. And i watched MJ play and watching LeBron. Both phenomenal basketball players.

[@divineelivation9118]

Stop sympathizing…. You have eyeballs, you know damn well Michael Jordan is the greatest ever. We have to stop trying to give a 🏅 to everybody for the sake of happiness, it’s really developing bad losers. If the whole world is calling you 2nd place 🥈 on Mt. Rushmore… I don’t see why we have to pamper. That’s still puts him in front of like 500,000 players 🤷🏽‍♂️🥂…. Just tell him congratulations on not being the goat… because it means you’re still supreme!!🎉🎉🤷🏽‍♂️, And he’s actually 3rd, Kobe is 2nd

[@daweeza42]

I really appreciate LeBron as a human and definitely appreciate his game. He’s undeniably great!! However I don’t like why he feels he has to advertise himself has the greatest ever. I always appreciated MJ’s answer when asked this question. Mike would basically say that’s an unfair question and he never faced Jerry West, Oscar, Wilt, etc. It’s so obvious greatness is in ever era. So for Bron to actually publicly say he’s better than Kareem, Kobe, MJ, Mr. Russel is pretty disrespectful. I don’t feel he his a disrespectful person or trying to put other legends down, but he doesn’t realise that’s exactly what he’s doing. He is actually giving more fuel to those that feel MJ is GOAT. He his highlighting how humble Mike is.

[@baymaii237]

Exactly! That’s why MJ came back at him a few years ago in that ceremony saying he respects the greats before him. Lefraud is so insecure he has to proclaim himself certain things thinking ppl are gonna change their mind. No one with eyes and a brain think he’s close to MJ. he’s not even close to kobe

[@markthenextlevel]

Lebron personally hand picks his teammates and still gets bodied in the finals.

[@davidcici11Evolution]

My argument is Jordan didn't play in an Era where he was facing the San Antonio Spurs or the Golden State Warriors the teams out West were not nowhere near that caliber and the teams out East where offensively challenged. And I am not counting the Detriot Pistons, Celtics and Showtime Lakers (Kareem) he never got passed those teams.

[@thisiseliasm4645]

The spurs were a great team but most of Jordan’s west opponents would beat them. The Warriors became super when they got Kevin Durant and LeBron only won 1 game after they acquired Durant. Yes Jordan didn’t get pass the 80s teams because he wasn’t in his prime and the Bulls were getting better. LeBron wasn’t getting past the Celtics till he got with Wade and Bosh in 2011. LeBron also beat the pistons when they lost Ben Wallace and they were old.

[@HT-sm9dm]

Every team was offensively challenged back then compared to today. You couldn’t travel and carry the ball like you can now. They could also play defense with some contact. The game was very different. They wouldn’t have Nikola Jokic winning the MVP in that era. Shaq in his prime didn’t win an MVP award in 8 seasons in the 1990s.

[@jtremaine23]

@@thisiseliasm4645 Yep...ironically, LeBron didn't win until the same franchises---Pistons (Wallace), Celtics (Big 3) & Lakers (Kobe) got old, injured or left. And even with that, he STILL didn't win all 4 with the Heat.

[@jtremaine23]

Interestingly, Divac actually played better and had better stats in the 1991 Finals than Kareem did in the 1988 and 1989 Finals. Also, correction to your post: MJ swept the Pistons in 1991.

[@ChrisLML12]

LBJ sounds more like a narcissists then the greatest player of all time, if you have to self anoint yourself as the greatest, then you are NOT the greatest MJ = 🐐

[@chocolatechipslime]

I use to put Bron up there in the top 3 but he’s falling down on my list because of his play these last few years, I feel like the stuff he does is not what a top player of all time would do. The constant complaining to refs about calls, the flopping, the trading players trying to instantly be a winning team, the complaint to the GM’s, jumping from team to team, the lack of defense and then he gets on to his teammates for not playing defense, never taking responsibility for anything but winning. He dosent have the heart of a champion!

[@jordanjenkins1671]

Agreed these last few seasons are making me consider him lower than top 2 all-time. Still has to be top 5 though I think.

Agreed!! I had him at 2..but now I put kobe over him aswell!! Bron is 3rd in my eyes

[@wtg242424]

When you're good at something you tell other people. When you're great (in this case the greatest), they tell you. If Lebron was the GOAT, he wouldn't need to do that. It's the reason you see MJ or Brady going around saying that kind of stuff.

It’s not Lebron place to say he’s the greatest but it’s your place to say he isn’t? Ali was wrong for saying he’s the greatest? Why should a man ever care what another man thinks about him? It’s about what you think of yourself.
