His entire game revolves around getting to the line, especially if his shot isn’t falling. I find his game to be tedious to watch. Talented to be sure…but tedious to watch. |
Dude can really play, but his ref-baiting is an embarrassment.

He's been amazing every game this season. Actually, he's been amazing his whole career. Eight consecutive NBA final appearances wasn't a fluke. Plus the 180 turnaround from his old and new teams, except for last year cuz the Lakers didn't have a real HC, more like an assistant coach. So yea, he's proven again and again that he is indeed the GOAT.

People have been posting about a defensive slide and watching him yesterday, the defensive effort from the beginning of the season isn’t there. I can live with that, the guy is 35.

As long as it's there in the playoffs. Our defense is already elite. |

We are top 3, so that is great. Unfortunately the other 2 in the top 3 are 3-0 against us.

This feels like old man screaming at the clouds while at the park.
Imagine if Lebron had John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and James Worthy during his career?
Hell, imagine if Lebron played in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s??
How are they going to guard his crossover? How are they going to guard his speed and insane vertical? An before you say it was more physical back then Lebron is built like a Mack truck. You can’t Kevin McHale close line him so easily. |

First match against the Clippers doesn't count, they didn't have PG but we didn't have the team as it is right now, KCP didn't score, Kuzma didn't play and Caruso was out of the rotation. It was the first official match for most of the team together.
Against the Bucks it was the last match of a road trip with injuries while they were well rested. We also had been playing bad the previous games.
Christmas' match was hurtful though but it was more our fault by missing open shots than Clippers' merit. |

Imagine if Kareem came to the NBA out of high school rather than was required to play four years of college. The all-time scoring record might be 10,000 points further away.

Mentally LeBron not even in the same universe as many of those all time greats. Not buying his heart ...dude runs from the moment far too often for me to call him GOAT like many here so easily do.
All time great? Yes
Better than many other all time greats? Very debatable.

There is no need to imagine, we have seen both careers.

I don’t think that any LA team gets a ring.

Yeah, I've thought about that before. Probably would've been a dominant pro even at 18.

They are probably the favorite in a competitive mode. But “favorite” as in who I want to see win if it isn’t an LA or NO team would be Philly. I got some good odds on them.

This is the reply I’m looking for.
I’ll admit lakersfever quote of calling him the GOAT is a bit too much but still shines the light on how overlooked Lebron’s greatness is being handled by some Lakers fans.
Some say it’s mental lapses, some say he doesn’t really give a damn about the meaningless regular season as much as the playoffs. |
