      “I’ve never cheated the game”
      No one has cheated the game more than LeBron James. He actually invented new ways to cheat the game and combine them.
      “ I would never disrespect the basketball gods”
      Dude, set up a company for the sole purpose of disrespecting pass legends to make himself look better .
      “I’m the Goat”
      He doesn’t believe that shit otherwise he wouldn’t have two dozen people on payroll trying to convince us .

      Neither had I. Outside of the scoring record all these other records he apparently breaks l, I didn’t know who the previous record holder was. in fact I didn’t even know it existed as a record.
      I also wonder why they never seem to mention either of his records of most missed field goals most turnovers

    • @jainmelbourne
      @jainmelbourne Month ago +1

      @Sekou-d1t of course it is. to play at the highest level for 20 years is an extraordinary achievement. But it has zero correlation to his goat claims. The fact that so many of the guys publicly praising him are literally managed by Klutch sports, is unbelievable. That they don’t mention thIs clear conflict of interest when discussing LeBron or any Klutch player, is so so unethical it’s practically fraudulent

    Bam scoring 83 was definitely orchestrated. Players with a career average of 16ppg, don't mysteriously shoot 43 free throws in a game (fouled 26 times). They basically tried to give him 43 points, even if he didn't make a shot. 😂

    Yes, see the NBA doesn’t care about history where the legacy of the great players who is the foundation of basketball! They’re letting society & this new generation beat them into just trying to do things that are super popular but will not stand the test of time! Whenever you divulge in unethical play, you let the rules go unchecked and you don’t care about the game as a whole meaning offense and defense it will soon come back to bite you! All these billion dollar gambling sites and multi billion dollar streaming sites are providing revenue now but if you continue to destroy your product, nobody’s going to pay for something that’s terrible
