The guy is 37 and averaged 30/8/6…..in his 19th season. Yet he deserves the full blame for the fact that the rest of his team


Yeah, that makes sense

Jordan for sure.

An argument can easily be made for any of these: Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe

Only two of those are not completely insane: Kareem and Magic

But think about this.....LeBron is going to finish with more points than Kareem and more assists than Magic.....that's fucking nuts given the complete contrast of their playing styles

The other ones are just laughable -- especially Duncan and Kobe. I'd love to see you try and make any sort of rational argument to why those guys are better. They are nowhere close to LeBron. If LeBron is not top 10, then those two aren't top 100

"LeBron is going to finish with more points than Kareem and more assists than Magic.....that's fucking nuts given the complete contrast of their playing styles"

LeBron's and Kareem's points per game stats are comparable: 27.1 vs 24.6. Magic's assists per game were 11.2, and LeBron's is 7.4. Quite a disparity there. So Magic averaged for his career more than 50% more assists than LeBron, so to bring up that stat is laughable.

If we're going to talk about LeBron's career stats, let's talk about his blowing away the all-time career lead in turnovers. The guy is the turnover king, and by the time his career is over, he's going to be many hundreds ahead of second place.

Magic was a winner who made people around him better, and guys wanted to play with him. LeBron is a cancer to his teams, and destroys franchises.

LeBron comes in, he brings in all his guys, he tries to take over, he gets everybody paid…Financially a total windfall if you’re one of LeBron’s guys and you play well with him, but he destroys your franchise, and he doesn’t really care about your franchise. He didn’t really care about the Cavaliers, didn’t care about the Heat, and doesn’t care about the Lakers. He’s LeBron James. He believes he’s bigger than those franchises. It was definitely true in Cleveland, it was maybe true in Miami, but do you know where it’s NOT true? It’s not true with the Lakers. He’s NOT bigger than the Lakers.”

Agreed, he is overrated and honestly he's a big primadonna
About the time he started his "Chalking up my hands, then throwing a big cloud
of chalk powder into the air"
routine -- just prior to striding triumphantly on to
the court -- he lost me.

The Cavs should've told the ball boy to hand LeBron a broom & dustpan every
single time he did it! Because you KNOW somebody had to do that!

Great player, but an egotist for sure.

Who made this statement? Some pompous Californian piece of shit?

I love how he makes the Lakers out to some superior franchise/team. LOL. Here is a clue. The Lakers ain't. And LeBron ran that franchise even more so than he ran the heat and/or cavs.

Riley wouldn't have in a millions years brought in Westbrook. California superioty is always hilarious to me. Your Lakers are sooo special. Not!

The Lakers were an absolute joke when Lebron got there . They were SoCal version of Sacramento

LeBron has given all three franchises he’s been part of at least one championship

Acting like he is fully to blame is a fucking home

Jordan, Chamberlain
You could add Bill Russell to that list. Centers aren't dominant in today's NBA,
but they were back before the 3-point shot.

Longevity is part of the argument of why Lebron is so great. The guy just averaged

Magic did average more per game, but Magic wasn’t half the scorer Lebron was

LeBron has been criticized for not being a “scorer” his whole career yet he

-just averaged over 30 ppp in his 19th season

-has scored at least 25 ppg in 18 consecutive seasons. No one else has done it in more than 12

-will retire as the #1 scorer in NBA history

Oh yeah, he did that while spending a lot of his career as one of (if not the best) passers in the league

Just say you don’t like Lebron as a person dude lol you have no basketball argument against him

Comparing guys like Kobe and Duncan to Lebron is laughable. It’s all bias and hate
