Three titles with two different teams against better competition by far than Jordan ever beat. He's Also led his playoff teams points, rebounds and assists. That has never been done by anyone and he's done it more than once.
Lebron is the best of all time.
It's not a debate.
It's hard to say Lebron is the GOAT when he hasn't even dominated his era.
Jordan also trumps him in pretty much every accomplishment/category. [Reply]

That's another thing..NBA drafts tend to suck. You would think a game played with 5 starters would have several guys come out of the draft a year that make impacts but they don't. It's not like NFL drafts where you get a good number of guy making a difference year one. If you don't have a Lebron or steph curry right now you aren't winning a championship. NFL superstars come out of the draft yearly. Not so in the NBA [Reply]

Look at some of the players that have changed teams the last 4-6 years and none have gone to the east.
Chris Paul
Demarcus Cousins
Durant
Harden
Aldridge
Cause east teams suck. They go to the best team. Also, cousins and harden were traded to their current team. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

Lebron has dominated his era. That's not even worth debating. Even at 32, he has dominated the playoffs. The only guy who comes close to playoff lebron is kawhi. I would still take mj. But how can anyone even doubt that Lebron has dominated the NBA the past 5 years or so? [Reply]

Lebron doesn't even have an above .500 NBA Finals record and two of the teams he beat in the finals beat him either the year before or after.

Every year the nba playoffs are a dumpster fire.
This year it's worse because the super teams got "richer" in the offseason and lucky because the teams they're facing have their best players hurt (not that it matters anyway), but richer and lucky make me envious of both teams.

I hate them and the NBA.
Id just like to know what fans of teams like Charlotte and New Orleans must feel? Gotta be sort of hopeless and pointless. I mean, why pay good money to go see some random game in February for a game between teams like this?
The NBA has some amazing talent, but overall it's a bad league [Reply]

They weren't trying on defense. I think that's obvious to anybody who was watching the games then and now. [Reply]

This is the same guy that bet against Lebron and didn't even consider him a legit contender last year.
Up against a 73 win Warriors team, there was good reason to think LeBron wouldn't win that series. He was a major underdog. The fact that he did what he did is only a testament to his greatness. [Reply]
