That free throw differential is wild. Im a Lakers fan since 99 but I can't stand LeBron's antics.

He'll throw them under the bus in the blink of an eye if it means it means he doesn't have to be accountable for any struggles the Lakers have.

It's sad really LeBron easily could have averaged 21 13 10 2 2 For his career would be more impressive than his 27 7 7 1.5 and .8 😂 That .8 blocks says alot about his defensive presence on the court, 6'9 'guards all 5 positions' yet doesn't even average 1 block per game for his career.

Lebron being an unselfish player is the biggest lie ever told. He dominates the ball and has to play his way so he can fill the stat sheet, which means he has to lead the team in scoring and passing, not letting others fulfill those roles more effectively. What would be unselfish is if he let everyone have a role besides standing around and letting Lebron do everything on offense, while they do everything on defense. There’s a reason his championships only came on super teams and even then, he still underachieved. His dominance of the ball creates great individual numbers and underperforming teams

[@fcarter3863]

That's what Lebron fans don't understand. MJ and Kobe for example led their team in scoring and shot attempts but they also allowed teammates to be the main contributors in other categories.

As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER. Perfect example is the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school

Micheal is the best. Period. Funny thing is most men who were kids in the 90’s knew that mike was not the most approachable and kind person. He was not like Penny or or even Scottie. He was serious and killer. Even so, we respected him bc of the eye test. We didn't need stats and all these weird stats of today to see what was happening. We didn't need him to be nice and have an entertaining personality. We knew who he was, but his SKILLS spoke for him. Personally, I love KJ and David Robinson and Ewing!

[@jasonnelson6624]

Notice most people do exactly what you did? You saw those players and crowned who you saw as the greatest. There was a greatest before Jordan. Jordan didn't do anything to pass him. But he got replaced because the older generation got replaced. So their guy became the guy. This is how it is in basketball only basketball. Baseball doesn't replace Babe Ruth. We are probably similar in age. I know LeBron isn't anything great or special that said neither was Jordan. But the NBA is about making money and jordan was popular and equaled profit. NBA will change how it referees games to make those players look better all for profit.

I agree with everything you're saying. It's one thing when you tear it up, but for example, like Kobe had that garbage team a few years and, no matter what he did, I don't think they were ever going to win it all and no one ever expected them to. If he balls out and puts up monster stats you say he did what he could to drag his team there but it's not enough. Now you Surround a superstar with multiple super stars and depthand people will expect you to win more than lose and you can put up big stats but your team s keep losing so you are not doing what it takes, whether that be how the offense is running, the defense you are playing and knowing when to have that killer instinct to take over big games. If you don't and lose more than you win, you look back and realize alot of those stats don't matter and you find a lot of hallow stats.

@cardzbmurkin08 they are stats that still count towards career stats but don't mean anything people don't really care because they resulted in losses and with stacked teams. And a lot of those points came when the game wasn't on the line and when it was he deferred or disappeared. And what ever he did, it didn't lift his super teams to the top. It's not just about points and stats. It about shut down defense and taking over when you feel the momentum shift and your team is looking for a leader. LeBron is still great and has the best longevity but he's not the goat. Not even close.

You learn at an early age that basketball is a team sport and the goal is to win. This is one reason that Wilt doesn't get as much credit for his stats. The NBA and liberal sports media had to find a way to keep the current game relevant so it doesn't seem like the best basketball is behind them, despite low ratings. Foreign talent has created some more interest, but the USA needs someone that is native to promote. Curry would probably have become the face of the league had GS not blown that 3-1 lead in the Finals.

@@manwerama During the 1960s, the Celtics was a super-team which won 9 championships in one decade. The one ring they didn't win was denied to them by Chamberlain's team, and the teams that gave the Celtics the most trouble were consistently Wilt's teams. He wrecked his knee in the 69-70 season, after which he focused almost entirely on defense, but even if he wasn't the most valuable player in the Lakers' 72 championship, advanced stats had him leading the league in Defensive Win Shares in both the regular season and the playoffs. In the three seasons of his career for which the league has stats for available rebounds, which are also the three seasons he played on a busted knee, and in the playoffs he led the league in total rebound percentage every year. Those seasons are also his worst rebounding seasons. At worst, ignoring his offensive qualities, Wilt was a 7'1" Dennis Rodman with a wingspan out of this world. His defense was similar to Victor Wembanyana, in that he didn't have to interfere with the shooter, he could block (and grab) the ball in the air. At best, in the 67 championship, Wilt did everything - led the league in both Offensive and Defensive Win Shares, in PER, in rebounds, in FG percentage (68%!) while dishing out 7.8 assists and playing 45.5 minutes per game.

The fatal flaw of Bron’s game is that his skill set is so diverse there’s no room for other superstars to really play their full game. Bosh/Wade had to dial their game back for “ball dominant make every play” Bron. KLove became a role player, Kyrie went insane in that environment. Only thing you can do for LeBron is play defense and knock down spot up jumpers. Kinda sucks the air out of the room. He’s ineffective without the ball. A bigger Westbrook. MJ didn’t need the ball he worked without it all the time. Catch and shoot all the time. Playmake as well.

[@jimmulcahey9312]

Lebron’s skill set is not diverse at all, in fact it is very limited. He is incapable of playing off-ball and this is why he has to be ball dominant. His athleticism is off the charts but his skills are mediocre at best. If you want someone who actually had basketball skills you only have to look at the likes of Larry Bird or Michael Jordan and actually Kobe was more skilled than either of them.
