- Didn’t LeBron pass Kareem in points like over 2 years ago? LmaoLeBron finally passes Kareem in games played. @statmuse
- If Jordan did this they would not stop showing it for decades. But this happening everyday in today’s game. And old heads want to tell you that players are not better today.Ja TOUGH BUCKET to ice game vs. Jazz 🥶😤
- Kids don’t understand, he was a better offensive player than prime KD while by far the BEST defender in the NBA, could guard all 5 positions easily, play all 5 positions & be the best in NBA in that position. The gap between peak LeBron & everyone else in history is astronomical.“HOW GOOD WAS 2013 LEBRON?”
- LeBron made people think going to the NBA Finals every year was easy. 😂😂
- MJ got cooked by a 17 year old high school LeBron and buried the tape, but yeah, he could bust LeBron 🤣“I’ve been watching a lot of old MJ… he’d bust Bron a** right now” - @BigOxBob thinks Wizards MJ is better than Bron right now 🤔 (🎥: @PlayersChoice_)
00:00 - LeBron won Eastern Conference Finals 9 times, but they named the EST MVP after Larry Bird? 😂😂 NBA awards are jokes.Tyrese Haliburton DEFINITELY thought he was winning the Eastern Conference Finals MVP 💀💀
00:00 - Yahoo sports reviewed Jordan’s DPOY games, in a 6 games sample: - Jordan was awarded 28 steals, while he had only 12 based on the footage. - In one game, Jordan was given more steals than the other team had turnovers! NBA, NIKE & media went all in to create a fraudulent GOAT."There was a game they credited Jordan w/ more steals than the other team had turnovers. Might put a different hue on the GOAT conversation. ... I'm just here for a fair & accurate reading of NBA history." 👀 —@getnickwright reacts to Haberstroh's article on MJ's 1988 DPOY award
00:00 - Erik Spoelstra: "If we played LeBron in any of the 5 positions, he would be the best in the league in that position. I always regret and it bothers me to this day that I didn’t have the guts to play him in all 5 positions". One of a kind @KingJames
00:00 - Colin Cowherd: Jordan and Nike are fearful of LeBron and his GOAT case. “LeBron is in Michael’s head”
00:00 - Ty Lue and Spo turned into elite coaches after graduating from LeBron’s University. I doubt if Ham can even graduate; he’s by far the worst student LeBron has had.Can’t be the only one who noticed LeBron was the one coaching in the huddle down the stretch lol
- LeBron doesn't have Kobe's mentality, yet he trained harder, took better care of his body, and played at the highest level for a significantly longer time. Make it make sense.The MAIN difference between Kobe and LeBron is their mental strength. Kobe NEVER made excuses and would push himself to train harder. LeBron is the better overall player but I wonder if Bron had Kobe’s mentality how much MORE he could have accomplished 🤔
00:00 - Interesting, so why don’t you apply to LeBron vs Jordan debate? 🤡“Yes, [the Celtics] do have 1 more ring...but the Los Angeles Lakers have 9 more Finals appearances, which means although they have 1 less title, their time spent in relevancy is significantly more than yours. That would make you the better overall franchise.” - Stephen A.
- I wished LeBron had a 17 points game, played no defense, and his team saved him and won the game for him. 🤣 Steph is the luckiest mf to ever play in the NBA.
