I remember in the 2007 finals a reporter asked Tim Duncan "What do you think is wrong with LeBron's offense?". Duncan replied "I don't think there is anything wrong with LeBron's offense" The report then said "Well what are you guys doing schematically to limit him offensively?" Duncan said "We are guarding him with all 5 guys. We understand what kind of player he is. He is the best player in the world so we are respecting him as that". That was what Timmy said about a 22 year old LeBron James

You gotta respect that Charles predicted it before lebron was in the top 2 debate 😂

[@Kali-Ikigai]

It's testament to Lebron's greatness that a lot of people don't see him as a scorer but he's about to become the NBA's all time leading scorer. And for people who argue it's because he's played 20 seasons, I say longevity and consistency are key parts of what makes a player great. NBA history is littered with stories of unfulfilled potential due to injuries(Grant Hill, Tracy Mcgrady, Derrick Rose etc) so trying to say Lebron's achievements are somehow diminished because he was able to play at the highest level for so long doesn't add up.

[@catchmein4K]

facts. anybody else could play 20 seasons but wouldn't be putting up the same numbers as lebron does in his 20th season. what lebron was in his early 20s is still the lebron today, in his late 30s

[@tntcrewEJ]

Something I always gave credit to Lebron for is that everyone saw him coming and he still succeeded. He's been covered since he was 13 and was compared to MJ at 16. Imagine if he was a little known recruit or not a #1 overall pick. People tend to enjoy underdogs more, (MJ was cut from his HS team, Larry Bird took little known Indiana State to a National Title, Tom Brady earning a starting spot on every level, etc.) and they don't tend to appreciate greatness when its sustained for so long. If he came out of no where but had the same career, no doubt people would consider him the GOAT IMO.

[@janconner2087]

Bird made it to a NCAA championship game, but Magic won the NCAA title with Michigan State that year

[@mahjinbuu]

That’s a very interesting perspective. Never thought of it like that

[@blackcloud4126]

Lebron came in at 18 and balled on his seniors. Then dominated his class. Now he's outrunning and out playing guys much younger than him. It's honestly absolutely ridiculous. (PS: everyone who questions if Lebron could take a hit in the rough 80's/early 90's forget one thing: if the rules allow you to hit him, they also allow him to hit back. Good luck with that)

[@rovy1303]

Black Cloud, you are most certainly correct. No one wants that locomotive to smack the daylights out of them because he's retaliating for someone else doing that to him. No body wants that smoke. And it's not like you could get away from him; usually he's the fastest guy on the court, one of the biggest, and let's not forget....basketball was his SECOND love; he was an All-State football player first who didn't mind taking the hits/contact. Now THAT'S scary...

When Kenny was saying bron isn't someone who has broken any ground... it was a premature statement on his part to say that he wouldn't break any ground. Bron is breaking ground right now. He is putting up the best fight anyone has ever put up against father time. He is Mr. Consistency. That's what makes him the King, and I only mean that in a basketball namesake sort of way, but nobody else has been so lethal for so long. That's groundbreaking. At the same time as medicine and training is allowing players to last longer and have longer careers, he's just re defining peaks and primes. Like...his defense is probably the only thing you can say isn't how it used to be, but he can still lock in from time to time and everything is else is still crazy.

[@camerontse6615]

3 things help LeBron in this Era, 1. You can't play defense as hard as before era(you don't get beat up in the paint.) 2. Road trips are more luxurious, from hotels and private flights. 3. Medical advances that make can come back from what use to be career ending injuries. Bonus 4. Better diets and understanding of body needs vs wants. Which is why have hard time holding LeBron as highly. Bird and MJ were both clutch guys of their team. you knew had try stop them to win the game so both get smacked hard and still get the shot, plus LeBron best teams made he didn't get double team. He had Wade n Bosh, then Kyrie and Love. Even now he got AD, Carmelo and, Westbrook. Like MJ smoked cigars and Barkley still ate deep dish pizza would play all 82. But now half League Vegan to keep shape and get injuries like made of twigs... How many times did LeBron sat games down when healthy? But he considered Iron man....

[@nobodyflowers]

@@camerontse6615 What does any of that have to do with him being the best? You're just talking about stuff that elevates the entire league. It's not something that exclusively helped lebron throughout his career. You can have a hard time holding him highly. Your problem is comparing him to another era. The moment you started talking about this era versus before, i already know where you going. "I have a hard time holding lebron as highly". Personal problem. Regardless of the era, you still gotta go out and compete to be the best of said era. No edge over the man across from you because y'all playing the same game. And there's no edge over players who came before you because y'all simply didn't play the same game. Stop bringing up other eras like we know how he would've played in said era or how those players would've held up in this one. We talk about defense being less rough. Okay, well how many sharpshooters did they have back then? Would they survive on a roster now with the 3 point pace or nah?

​@@nobodyflowers Era comparisons are stupid af imo, like people who try to downplay Wilt and Bill cuz they played against scrubs (which they didn't), if there was no MJ, there would be no LeBron cuz of MJ's influence on him, there would be no MJ without Dr J, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor etc etc, there is no foundation to make the league even greater without the formulas that Wilt and Bill Russell defined the league with in terms of team success (which no one will top Bill Russell as far as I'm concerned) and individual talent (Wilt was so athletically gifted, and to imagine in an era which was so behind medically) and individual accolades (which no one will ever top Wilt in, again as far as I'm concerned)

@@TheOfficialMassakre Exactly. People who compare eras have no idea what it takes to be great.

My entire existence in a given field is inspired by someone doing it before me, otherwise I have to start from scratch. Instead, my focus is to be mentioned among the greatest.

He did win his championships over 3 completely different franchises. Like none of the others in contention for the “greatest” conversations won multiple championships over more than one or two different teams. That says a LOT. Wherever he goes he not only makes others better, he gets them to championship level playing and winning.

[@TheOfficialMassakre]

It's different eras, comparisons aren't really fair/accurate. Players before had longer contracts, and a slightly different mindset to finish what they started in a franchise, nowadays players are a lot more enterprising because they have more power so they have more decision over being traded. Before it was more like why should I join him, I would be seen as weak, same way we're viewing KD and when LeBron joined the big 3. It's like the people who shit on Wilt and Bill Russell. It's not fair cuz they didn't have all this sports technologies or even decent fucking shoes. Most players then needed to do another job to maintain decent living cuz the league was still young and didn't have the marketing dollars like they do now. Bill/Wilt created the foundation of excellence. Kareem held that standard. Dr. J and so many high fliers (David Thompson, Elgin Baylor) made the game exciting. Larry and Magic showed us what a true competitor and teamwork is like and legitimized the league on a national level. Michael turned the game into a global presence and the true financial powerhouse it is. And further generations are just building and building on the blocks laid down by the previous generations and revolutionizing in their own ways like Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, Steph.

Ppl keep talking about basketball only. Lebron understands people. He knows he has to get his team involved and score 30 sometimes take over. He knew he had to go back to Cleveland and win our ppl would always say he had to have wade and bosh. Then he had to have Kyrie. So, he’s giving y’all what you want but not prioritizing it over his teammates first.

Kenny is a Tarheel so he’ll never go against MJ. Yet, what’s groundbreaking is the fact that Lebron is the most consistent player ever

[@theguy1224]

Great 3 part series! I am a huge fan of lebron. I'm 40 so i grew up watching MJ and he was incredible but i also followed lebron shortly before he went to miami. I have lebron as number 1. There is nothing like him. All i know is when he retires, it'll be one of the saddest days of my life. But when ESPN puts out a 30 for 30 for lebron, man i don't think i'll be able to watch it without crying. We'll never see a player like him EVER.

Karl Malone was pretty much dominant his whole career.... always an All Star.... 2 x League MVP and 2 x All Star MVP.... 4 x All Defense... Dream Team... Top 75 all time.... LeBron James is basically Karl Malone in terms of physical size/build all while being wayyyyyyy more athletic and better at him at basketball in every aspect of the game except probably rebounding.... Just a whole different breed
