All players are only good defensively when they feel like it. In LeBron’s case, that was for about a decade. He’s one of the best defenders in the history of the game (11th all time in defensive win shares) and somebody would have to be incredibly ignorant or misguided to argue to the contrary. [Reply]
Congrats to Lebron and whether you hate or like Lebron we all should appreciate him before he is gone. He has always been a good role model and never got into any trouble. [Reply]
:-) Couldn't have done it on a better night to showcase how ultimately meaningless the stat whoring is. Still lost to a Thunder team in the bottom third of the NBA lawl [Reply]

Prime LeBron was great at every facet of the game. With his size, athleticism, IQ, work ethic, and dedication he should have owned the NBA. But LeBron was getting waxed in the finals more than his teams dominated. Not my Goat......never [Reply]

He's a lying attention whore and faux intellectual who's played GM - poorly - at every stop he's had and then blamed others for his failed manipulations.

The Lakers are a bottom third NBA team and have been since Westbrook joined the team. Who cares if they lost to a similarly bad OKC team in a lost season? [Reply]

He did own the NBA. For just about two decades and counting now. You are free to believe MJ or anyone else was better than him (although the numbers say something quite different), but using faulty titles logic to make that argument has never made a lick of sense.
It’s that same silly logic that is going to keep some people from saying Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady in about 5-10 years. [Reply]
:-) It's 'faulty' logic now that there's literally no chance he'll ever redeem it. But we all remember the stans being desperate every offseason for Lebron to stack his team. Remember when Kawhi was labeled the enemy for daring to join the Clippers instead? :-) [Reply]

Why is one set of logic faulty and the other is not? Lol stats don't always tell the whole story.
Yes if Pat were to pass Brady in passing yards and still have only one Chip, Brady would still be better [Reply]
