I hate MJBaldwinIV said:yes lebron is primarily responsible for the make up of the team
but you cant scratch two sticks together and make gold. kyrie irving left and in return they got an average point guard, a bench player, and a complete nothing. its widely reported lebron wanted the cavs to trade their pick for deandre
and this is all besides the point. lebron literally had one of the best seasons in history, in any context, and given what i listed many still believe he needed an excuse for getting swept in the finals lmfao
it is literally 4 hall of famers against lebron, the magically disappearing and randomly appearing kevin love, and the nba's version of a YMCA team. why the fuck would lebron need an excuse? it's clear to virtually everyone he's the best player on the planet for simply making the finals
some of ya'll should just admit you hate him because you're MJ fans and feel threatened -

For fuck's sake I'm a fucking Lakers fan. I grew up absolutely hating MJ. He's still the all tim best though. I 100% hoped Kobe would manage to surpass his ass. He didn't. Neither has Lebron.
Some of you just need to admit you've been on the Lebron = Goat narrative since before he ever earned it on the court.
I'll still be enthusiastic as fuck if he comes to LA with at least one other major free agent. -
I wasn't on the LeBron GOAT narrative before he beat GS in the finals. I hated him for a long time, but at a certain point it was undeniable.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Then you add in his next two years and predict the future. He's the best.
MJ had a lot more charisma and won more titles. There really wasn't one thing he did better than LeBron on the court. -

Scored better
Better defender
Better competitive streak
And yeah, that winning thing kinda matters -
Not a better defender. LeBron was the best defender in the league for awhile. Not a better scorer, especially as they got older. LeBron is more efficient as well.Tequilla said:

Equal shooters. LeBron has gotten much better. LeBron is a better passer and rebounder.
I'll give you competive streak, although LeBron has put the Cavs on his back every year he's been with them.
LeBron's main fault is he's a drama queen. A lot of the dissension and turmoil could be avoided if he wasn't a passive aggressive pussy at times. Part of that is the twitter/hot take media. -
Yeah, LeBron's actually a significantly better shooter. Jordan's effective shooting percentage was .509, Bron's is .540. Of course Jordan's got the two past his prime Washington years dragging his numbers down but even without them Bron had the edge.RoadDawg55 said:

Agree about Bron's biggest fault. -
Jordan if he came out in 2018 === Westbrook on some other team bowing out in the 1st/2nd round.
He was the best player on a truly great team. People forget that. -
Jordan was a better scorer. Part of that is Lebron is a much better passer.
The competitive thing is hanging on to an old narrative. Lebron put together the greatest game ever played down 3-2 to Boston with the entire Heat future on the line. Popovich basically challenged his manhood in their first Finals and Lebron responded. Pop even said to him after game game 7 something to the effect of “you won because you played like Lebron James”. The first Finals against Golden State he tried to backpack the Cavs and then down 3-1 the next year he had 3 straight amazing games. He carried a team that would win 20 games without him to the Finals and then should have won game 1 against the most talented team ever but his 20 win retard teammates let him down. Lebron has had questionable moments but most of them are far in the past.
Lebron has fallen off as a defender. I don’t think he’s been a great defender since he was on the Heat. MJ mainted the high level defense but this league is much harder to play on both ends. At their peaks Lebron gets a slight edge because of his size. In NBA history who couldn’t Lebron guard? Shaq? Anyone else?
I’m not going to say winning doesn’t matter but Jesus look at who Lebron has beaten in the Finals.
Durant
Westbrook
Harden
Duncan
Parker
Ginobili
Kawhi
Curry
Thompson
Draymond
Iguodala
That’s the next 25 years of hall of fame inductions.
The difference in championships is beating a washed Magic and Stockton, Malone twice. What are the other titles? Drexler? The fucking Sonics? And Jordan never had to play a ranked Oregon State. -
The Warriors are a truly great team. The Bulls without Jordan were very good, but not great. He definitely had a lot of help but he's the reason those teams were "truly great".haie said:Jordan if he came out in 2018 === Westbrook on some other team bowing out in the 1st/2nd round.

But he wasn’t carrying this shit team to titles. They were insanely well built.
Lebron has been carrying mediocre-shit teams for a long time. Absolutely no depth on any of them
