Rich Eisen: Why LeBron James Remains a Marvel to Watch Even While Pushing 40 | The Rich Eisen Show

[@DarthBinky89]

Here before the Lebron haters

[@BLACKSTONEPOET]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@enoughunwa]

Even if you think MJ is the goat, please just appreciate what this man is doing. Absolute greatness at damn near 40 years old

[@joeshmoe8134]

Lebron has the benefit of the league changing to a non contact sport.

[@pvstar1323]

​@@joeshmoe8134MJ had the benefit of not having to run. MJ himself said with zone defense he wouldn't be able to get his high scoring.

[@penkima4923]

@@joeshmoe8134 That has probably enabled him to lengthen his career. Although, for the past 7 years, he's been missing 30 games per season. He's obviously playing just to try to catch MJ in rings. And call that "It's just basketball". He's playing through pain, playing just basketball. The officiating has been changed during LeBron's tenure from calling games according to rulebook, to not calling games according to the rulebook. The officiating now favors the offensive player heavily, and LeBron exploits that. He should be called multiple offensive fouls on each game, as he bulldozes to the basket, but he gets called a fraction from that on.

lol there’s something called the Jordan rules for a reason

[@penkima4923]

@@pvstar1323 "MJ himself said with zone defense he wouldn't be able to get his high scoring." That's irrelevant, because zone defense has never been played in the NBA.

[@easlam5503]

He's in better shape than half of the league

[@keithgriffin6322]

*90%

[@difference018]

Longest prime in NBA history and maybe pro sports history

[@dominicharris5489]

in pro sports history, easily

[@ryankeenan3051]

Damn great point. I haven’t heard this take. Up there with Brady and Brady doesn’t carry a team physically like the nba, but the take is there

[@dakotaflowers0]

Mad respect to TJ for keeping KATs gifts on set

[@alivensyde5484]

Yes, lets discuss this and not be geunuine and mention that performing enhancing drugs are part of the reason

[@CalixtoErico]

Does the NBA not drug test?

[@samallardyce2522]

dlo is the lakers weakness. one good game, followed by 5 bad games and repeat.

[@jaydot4956]

He’s the reason why the Lakers didn’t win the championship in 2023, in the wcf Dlo averaged like 6 points on 33 percent shooting and 13 percent from 3, if he would’ve just averaged what he did in the regular season they would’ve definitely beaten Denver.

[@muganwasolomon4857]

When bron finally hangs up his kicks.... the league stats skll be down for a long time

[@KellyAnn1997]

I can appreciate all the great players. But LeBron is really on a different on a different level on and off the court.

[@anthonyclark9441]

Y'all know EXACTLY WHY, but you won't ever say why. Let it ever come out though, and they'll beat it into the ground, trying to beat him into the ground.

[@balamkinich7968]

Never been a big LeBron fan. I'm one that sees MJ as the GOAT. But I can't deny LeBron is definitely 2nd best ever and still continues to prove it. Gotta appreciate what he's doing, it won't happen again for a very long long time.

[@Skor9o]

There’s no player in any sport in the world that has had a career like LBJ. Ever. Probably the best athlete of all time.

[@stingrey1571]

It’s called HGH rich.

[@Boredmillenial]

HGH doesn't stop you from aging or make you good at basketball.

[@xl8751]

Lebron is amazing. It’s a disservice to him when people demand you call him #1 because that’s when it breaks down.

[@ryankeenan3051]

Doesn’t matter what number or hierarchy you label Lebron. He’s exceeded every expectation a basketball player can have. Even for a player that had the highest expectations. You cannot put a number on someone who does that. He is the most incredible basketball player that’s ever lived. Continues to prove people wrong at 39. Even if MJ is your GOAT, he’s done things no other basketball player can and will ever do. They are such different players, it’s subjective.

[@Halfhyde]

Rich says "Who cares?" Rich, Stephen A., and all the rest seem to care about all kinds of minutae, all kinds of stupid stuff, every bit of gossip. When they run out of things to say, they argue about who is the GOAT. Well, it's Wilt, of course.

[@JS-bu3wq]

crazy how the media is scared to call him out for steroids -

[@ThatGuy-en2nn]

Crazy how you don't acknowledge the damage roids do to the heart. WWE wrestler Triple H has heart problems because of them and can never get in the ring again. It's extremely unlikely father time Lebron is on those considering how healthy he is after 22 years of high intensity play. He must have the super roids nobody else can access 😂.

[@alivensyde5484]

its not really crazy, its because Lebron is the cash cow. He generates and makes money for everyone so u cant really be critical of him to that extent without fear of losing your job

[@ryankeenan3051]

What evidence do you have of Lebron taking steroids?

[@Boredmillenial]

​@@ryankeenan3051 None. They just say it because if they don't, they'd have to acknowledge that Lebron is just special.

[@MacInTheBox]

Oh boy the 1 time a month he'll talk about basketball!

[@mrhollister8520]

Dude is juiced to the gills and plays bully ball. There is no skill in that

[@anthonyclark9441]

They don't care. Let it ever come out though. They will beat it into the ground, while beating him into the ground.
