He was the best player of the 70’s, which has almost became a lost decade in NBA conversations. 60’s had Russell and Wilt, Bird and Majic in the 80’s, Jordan the 90’s, etc…70’s definitely had some interesting teams but outside of Knicks fans, it’s not held with the same reverence. As a Celtics fan I couldn’t stand Kareem but you have to give the guy his due.
It’s called longevity. It’s another reason LeBron is the goat.
Longevity is because the man doesn’t ever show up to work!! The man misses about 20% of his games. We laugh at Iverson because “we want to talk about practice”, but the league doesn’t even come to work on a regular basis. My GOAT comes to work. Longevity… 😂 😂 😂
Your goat took off two full seasons worth of games in the middle of his prime lmao. What are you talking about? Factor in sitting 147 games into those numbers and get back to me.
Stupid might be a word we agree on but for different reasons. Lebron is averaging 111 games per season? That is really your argument? NBA is 82 regular season games and then 4 rounds of 7, if necessary. So what you are saying is truly remarkable. Lebron has not only NOT missed a game in his entire career but has played all 4 rounds into the NBA Finals every year while playing a 7 game series in every playoff series in every year and then found time to play one extra game, more in short seasons for shits and giggles. I think your convenient stinker math trumps my stinker opinion. 82 + 28 = 110 games possible. We can't all be good at math.
I'm not going to get into a big debate, but that media production when he was leaving Cleveland and the big production when he got to Miami are a couple of examples.
No shit? That bothered people?
Different eras, different rulebooks, different coaching and front office philosophies.
Yeah, no shit. We all know this but it’s fun to argue about no matter the sport.
Everything from our youth was always better. You have to at least admit Lebron can be whiny. He looked ridiculous at the end of that game.
Jokic is 279lb, Embiid is 275, Lebron is very close at 255. You would never know it with how soft he is.
Easy killer. I thought that's kind of what I was doing.
Sure. I'm not a Lebron lover. I find myself defending him a ton because everyone loses all perspective with him. He's not perfect. But he's basically the most hyped player of all time, and by all metrics has exceed the hype placed upon him. Other than a bad China take, he's basically untouchable from a personal perspective (so of course suddenly everyone is a pearl clutcher about his China take).
