We last left off Lebron's case for GOAT two years ago, as he was joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
He's now won his 4th title and is presumably still counting, lets see where things stand as this is an open case.
Absolutely does not feel like 2 years since the last one..

This season has been so long it feels like more
can u do the kobe challenge for nba 2k21 next gen
When are you doing the 2k19 review???
Doesn't feel like I've been subscribed for over 2+ years either
I hope everybody acknowledges the job that Vogel did as head coach dude was actually making key adjustments in each series to take back control or keep the Lakers foot on the gas and most people thought his seat was just a placeholder for Kidd
Agreed
@Thomas Sankara More than decend, he's good enough and fit the team pieces perfectly, also Rob Pelinka deserves a lot of credit, guy was called a snake last year but he shut that down and build a Champion team
I'll say that he's good at defensive adjustments. Offense on the other hand, that goes to James, AD, and Rondo. With those three on the team, you don't really need to coach for offense.
Frank Vogel was always a very good coach. Unfortunately his Pacers ran into the star-studded Miami Heat...and Spoelstra is a damn great coach himself.
You're one of the few that has acknowledged it though. I just watched buddy from Speak for Yourself try to downplay Frank Vogel (and Spoelstra) as a coach because he had LeBron.
@@atlien1988 Well, having Lebron does make it a whole lot easier for any coach. Just look at Ty Lue.
I hate how Skip Bayless caused most of the toxic Lebron slander. "He's not clutch" "MJ didn't need that much help" "He got saved by Ray Allen" et cetera.
The LeBron isn’t clutch argument has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Yeah he doesn’t male every shot, but who does,
@@IAMvonte-2518 his record, numbers, and performances in games 7's and elimination games sets that narrative in fire
It's called fact denial: They act like Kerr and Paxton never happened, just to conveniently "prove" their points.
Gotta say i'm happy i was able to see both of them live on TV, as well as Curry and Kobe. All of them just make this sport fucking amazing to watch.
Only the "he got saved by ray allen" part is facts he straight up did, he missed the 3 that would’ve tied and ray allen ended up having to hit it for him... now a lot people are gonna counter it by say "tHeY wOuLdNt HaVe BeEn In ThAt PoSiTiOn iF iT wErEnT fOr LeBrOn" and to that I say if he got them to that position to tie why couldn’t he finish it off ?

I’m trying to find out how is this part 5
@@lilscope2626 ok
some people really hold it against LeBron for losing to the most stacked finals team ever with the worst finals team ever
2017 should've been closer if he's the goat. I feel like Cavs fans/warrior haters constantly bring up 2015 injuries and 3-1 choke to down play how good the warriors were in order to make their first championship a fluke. But at the same time complain how overpowered they are with KD. I won't be deluded and say that they were equal, just that if Bron is the goat, that series shoulve gone to at least 6 games if not 7. Like how the hell does the rockets take the warriors to 7 but not the Cavs? Their roster was much better in17 than 18.
I agree that 2018 was complete underdog story, but I think that's a combination of the weak talent in the east compared to the west AND lebrons greatness. I dont think it a black or white. Just that lebron has beniftted being a big fish in a small pond
AshantiSeppuku it would’ve gone to 6 if Deron Williams and Kyle Korver didn’t shoot like 10% throughout the series. LeBron and Kyrie were the only ones who were consistent and efficient
@@ASTROPLANET13 I Respect that
@@100ovrbatmanbron7 I feel like thats just a concession that the west was leagues better then the east then. I understand its team sport so its stupid to put all the blame on James. That being said, if the cavs were that outclassed roster wise but still were the best in East, thats a testament to needing to get rid of conferences then. But if you concede that, then you take awaamy Brons biggest accomplishment of going to the finals year in and out. Hell, put the spurs and okc in the east and imo you chip away at least 3 finals appearances from Bron
@@ASTROPLANET13 what the fuck is wrong with you... I cant believe what i just read. Postitions 1-4 are top 1, 2 and 3 at theyre position. And you think he should have got further with NO ONE? On statistically one of the WORST teams in the league???????????? Mj was getting SWEEEEEEPPPPPPPT round 1. He never did anything without another star. Bron gets to the finals multiple times and goes up against the most broken team of ALLL TIMMME. 10x more broken than anything jordan or any other great has ever faced. And he shouldve taken ANOTHER game? Dont ever talk basketball ever again. Go choke on the nearest dick in your viscinity. You are a hoe. Die. How the fuck you expect him to do some shit no one has ever even experienced in the history of the fucking nba. Im befuddled that you typed that and had the nerve to go in detail and give exposition.... Like bruh i wanna tell you to slit your wrists but that may be a lil too far. But yeah... shut the fuck up forever. Forever. You are really, truly stupid as fuck. I hope yo grandma swallow her denchers. I hope yo car get totaled. I hope yo house catch on fire, i hope you slip on some shit n break yo arm. I hope you turn the shower on and that shit hot af and you burn your shit. Like bruh i just hope some type of physical bodily harm happens to you within the next 24 hours. You are disgraceful. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh yeah. And ALLL the GS rings are fluke. What the fuck you mean make them"seem" like a fluke. Bitch if they got theg first ring on an injured fuckin team, and 2017 they had kd wtf is that? 2016 was even and they STILL had the better team and lost. Its not hate its just facts. And guess who feels the same? The greats. They dont respect the warriors. If you get beat and go to your car right after to call kd. You are weak. If you was real you would have wanted to run it back and beat them. So yes. If you are a warriors fan you soft. It is what it is. And the greats feel like that too. Smh. Idek how people like you exist. You just a hoe inside and out its crazy.

I'm just here to appreciate these legends while they are here
Same here, man!
I used to be the biggest LeBron hater. I used to repost those corny “I asked change for a dollar from LeBron and he handed me 3 quarters. When I asked where is the other. He replied sorry I don’t have a 4th quarter” all the time back in 2011. But as time went by and he kept accumulating the accolades. I realized how special a player he is and anyone who hates on him is a damn fool. You have to appreciate these all timers when you can
YOOOOOOOOO I can't believe there's somebody that remembers those jokes! You made my day
It's not his greatness that's disputed, it's how great he is that's in dispute. He's one of the best ever for sure though
Me too, I thought LeBron was talented for sure but I never got this shock watching him. I didn’t see it when he played, and his fans swore he was next yet I didnt see it. Until 2018 happened, in that year it was the first time I saw LeBron differently. I never see him insert his will on games like this, he has been dominant and I see it now. I think he is in his prime now, not physically but overall. A small ball center who can handle point duties and give you 27 a night, imma just appreciate what’s happening now
@@i_sharky Jeez 2018 Bron was next level. Thanos shit
@@Ahh.m888 facts 2018 was the first time I seen LeBron accept who he was. He’s not gonna outshoot you, he’s not gonna be Jordan, Kobe or whoever you wanna compare him to. He is LeBron, a living mismatch at 6’9 240. It’s like he wasn’t holding back, Miami Heat LeBron looked scary but at times looked like he held himself back. This is the best LeBron to me, period.

People seemed to take that line as “He and wants to be called the GOAT but that won’t happen” and they took it as “He’s begging for respect which is sad” no you idiots (Rob Parker especially) the line was about everybody doubting Lebron just because of last season. Give this man his damn respect simple. I love Lebron because I grew up on him. He literally started his career less than a month after I was born and that’s probably a reason why I love him so much. But no matter the age everyone should see how great he is as a player and person.
Rob Parker knows absolutely nothing about sports
He doesn’t deserve respect
@@eazye619 he took his respect bum

For someone who was born after LeBron entered the league, you sound pretty mature, unlike all these old heads who claimed that they watched Jordan play in the 90s

#relatable 👁
The reason I would love to see Bron 3peat is because the amount of excuses would be hilarious because all those people that said he needed 6 rings to be considered the goat would have all kinds of excuses.
He still gets beaten in everything else and regardless 6 and 6 is way worse than 6 and 0
Neil Murray, Nah 6 and 6 is WAY better than 6 and 0. It means that you went double the amount of Finals and was ALWAYS there at the big dance. That’s better than MJ just losing all the time then winning a bunch in a row.
@@blackscreen1810 lmao what? 6 championships plus 6 finals appearances is worse than only 6 championships. What’s your math lmao.
@@mike2207 6 and 6 is the Least is easy though The teams Jordan faced before getting to the finals were way better
He didn't win 3 in a row, but he recently lost 4 games straight😂
As a 9 year old i was captivated and amazed at how Kobe faded away. Kobe made me fall in love with basketball, he is the reason i have fun anytime i step onto a court. Kobe is the reason i don't throw pieces of paper away like most people. His fadeaway left me with thoughts at the time that this guy could get a bucket whenever he wanted. I know this exactly how MJ was to everyone "bucket whenever he wants". Kobe to me seemed like he could will himself and manifest a jumper no matter the defense like a super hero. At 9 years old that is what it felt like, watching a super hero. He was one to me. I remember watching the 2010 playoffs and then its end against the Celtics with my dad. My dad died when i was 12, looking back i doubt he even cared about basketball i think he just liked it cause i did. I would play in school and my fifth grade teacher was a Laker fan. This Championship is so crazy to me. The Lakers did it for Kobe. Watching LeBron is also pretty much watching what seems like a super hero on the court, he too can just will himself to the points and to win. They are both genuinely inspiring, I'm from Cali i talk to a lot of Laker fans, honestly the ones who dont like Lebron always seem bitter and just weird bro. The "fans" that sent Danny green and his fiancé death threats are disgusting and beyond toxic, also they are stupid as fuck, we were up 3 to 1, it was a normal shot it just did not go down, even steph curry has missed in the nba finals children, cause thats what they act like man like little ass kids. There is this false narrative on twitter under like 90 percent of the recent content that this is a "mickey mouse ring", skip (fuk skip) too said Cubic zirconia ring. When objectively, a lot of players have said that that shit was hard. There is no asterisk. Bron has been outright crazy and i hope the lakers do something interesting this offseason so we have a better chance at a repeat , they gotta do something fasho the warriors and nets are there. And i just want to say i actually like all 3 of those goats. love these kinds of vids dom they smack.
Everyone has their own Goat and Bron is mine🐐
I am so happy that the Lakers won the chip but a part of me really wanted the L.A Battle to happen regardless of the result
No. I'm glad the Nuggets shut that down.
They let everyone know what time it was: they beat the media's favourites 4-3 in _another_ comeback from 3-1, only to be defeated 4-1 by the Lakers.
Nobody expected Denver to succeed after dropping so many games, so when they did it's like: "if the Lakers beat Denver 4-1, but the Clippers choked a 3-1 lead, what chance would the Clippers have _really_ had?"
CLIPS CHOKED!
I knew that after part 4 his story would not be finished
Edit: he recently just became the leading scorer not just in the playoffs and regular season but of ALL TIME, I don’t care that it’s a “longevity” award you don’t just play for 20 years and break that record you need to be elite and a dominant player for all 20 years which is a 1 of 1 thing

He´s into the GOAT conversation because of the heat of the moment. Once he loses in the next 2-3 seasons, everything will cool off and only the Lebron´s fandom will claim him again as the GOAT. He will have probably the best career ever considering its longevity, bus will definitely not be GOAT no matters what he does.
Yeah crazy to think he’s gunna slow down and he’ll retire. He’s top 3 IMO
If he ends his career 5-6 with 4 or 5 fmvps then there’s a definite argument for it. Just like how you could argue Kareem or Magic as the goat
@@IAMvonte-2518 It is highly probable that Lebron wins 5-6 NBA titles. However, will he need 20-21 seasons? 5-12 record in finals?. That is why I say he will have the best career ever because he´s not slowing down yet, but he won´t be the GOAT considering that MJ did what he did in 13 seasons and 6-0 in finals.

Lebron's 4th ring goes so underrated.. because of all that went into it. Especially competing with Kawhi Leonard, Giannis, and their superteams. He proved at year 35 to be the best player in the world once again. Ps. every time he had a supporting cast they won the chip.

Al Harrington said it best on the Matt Barnes Stephen Jackson podcast. "When your talking about BASKETBALL" as a whole and not just scoring + killer instinct, LeBron is probably the best BASKETBALL player ever. When you factor in everything, he has a VERY strong argument.
Because all Jordan ever did was score and clutch up right? LeBron is very good but he has not topped Jordan.
@@Icouldntpickone It's pretty close when you break it down by category. LeBron is a better rebounder, passer, 3pt shooter, and more versatile. Jordan is a better scorer, FT shooter, defensive player, post player. IQ and finishing at the rim prolly go to LeBron as well. The total breakdown is AT LEAST equal but if anyone has an advantage it's LeBron.
@@XxMVPxDawg how is lebron better at finsihing at the rim than mj? When mj took flight there was no stopping him. I'd give mj a slight edge there. Also 3pt shooting is a part of scoring and mj is always winning that one over lebron. The only 2 Things you can definetively say lebrons better at, are passing and rebounding.
YOU EVER HEARD OF OSCAR ROBERTSON AND WILT CHAMBERLAIN ?
@@2Pkb25 That's what these stat heads seem to forget. Statistically the Big O and Wilt are the best.
Prediction about LeBron James:
After winning his first championship in LA, he'll make 3 straight nba finals appearances (he'll at least make it to the western conference finals each year) He might win 1 or 2 nba finals from 2021-23 even if he may have been carried to them at age 38. Then for the 2023-24 season, he will rejoin the Cavaliers for one last ride at age 39. After a few years of being a lottery team, the Cavs have lots of young talent but can't capitalize on it. The cavs again find themselves with a lottery pick in the 2023 draft, and after the NBA lifts the one-and-done rule, Cleveland selects LeBron James Jr. and pairs him with his dad. The Cavs make a few trades for veterans and turn themselves into a championship contender. After a bunch of questionable calls, the Cavs end up back in the finals and end up winning a ring as LeBron Sr. fades into the sunset. After this, LeBron Sr. retires and becomes a successful Hollywood actor. Time passes and after James disapproves of the Kanye administration, he throws his hat into the ring for the 2032 Presidential election. James wins in a landslide and becomes the 47th president of the United States overtaking Abraham Lincolns record of tallest president at 6'4".
I actually thought about that before with Lebron being president cause he seems to be really passionate about politics way more than any other athlete or star and tends to give his honest opinion on it a lot so that is possible but I think he’ll win this year and next as well giving him 6 ring I don’t know for after that though I think he’ll win one more and retire with 7 rings in total sounds crazy but it’s possible at the rate he’s going right now
k buddy
Too bad Anthony Davis is made of glass.
Man you are delusional!
I literally honestly believed he couldnt make it anymore two years ago, crazy how he raised through the bias people and the media had, people used to say that nobody wants to play with bron but now they be saying the cavs is trashy franchise, at age 35 close to be 36 it is crazy how lebron can still win those rings and still be the best player ever

D S first off, that heat team was legit. They dominated the eastern competition including the favorites to win the championship the bucks. They still had bam, an all star and one if the best defensive players, and jimmy butler a superstar along with other good role players. Lebron had a minor injury, ad also had one, and we were missing our 3rd best player Avery Bradley. So it was even on both sides. What makes it so impressive is the circumstances. Playing in the Bubble, seperate from family for months, players reported getting depression, and other people who were actually in the bubble talking about how tough it was. On top of all that, he dominated the hardest conference. He faced multiple all stars and mvps on his path all while dominating the entire time. That’s what makes this accomplishment so impressive. Not to mention the first to win fmvp on 3 different teams. That’s why a lot of people said he’s the goat. Worst case, they have him top 2. Even Paul pierce had him top 2.

LMAO Dom you dirty for putting that laughing Lebron clip after the KD and Thompson injuries
Let’s go finally get another one‼️‼️
Low key I think lebron ad kawhi vs kd warriors would be really fun to watch
Man this video was so great I had to watch this twice. Growing up a Lakers fan and idolizing Kobe meant hating Lebron because he still hadn't had the rings to back his "best player in the world" claim. The hatred grew when he did a non-traditional basketball thing and teamed up with 2 other players who were also no.1 options on their respective teams. The Heat were so easy to hate back then. Then Lebron regained that respect (in my eyes) when he returned to Cleveland. Then Kobe retired. That exact year, Lebron pulled a "greatest of all time" performance to beat the greatest regular season team of all time down 3-1. He became my favorite player aside from any Laker. There were rumblings of him coming in the 2018 season. Then JR Smith and George Hill blow game 1 and I knew we would get Bron. Watching him these last two years remind me of when I was younger cheering for Kobe and its so insane to believe when Lebron won his first ring as a Laker he did it to honor Kobe, the original guy I defended, after a horrible young age death. Man this title feels sweet and like he said, give him his damn respect. I surely have overtime and feel dumb for even hating him in the first place instead of appreciating greatness like I am with these younger players like Luka,Murray, Giannis, Trae Young, Morant etc.
Yeah he moved in my top 3 behind MJ and Kobe, dude is a true legend
@Dominic dominic finals MVP’s don’t mean you a better player cuz if that’s the case iguodala is better than Curry correct? And Kobe cant be a sidekick avg the numbers he had throughout the playoffs, Shaq won mvp cuz it was the smarter move to run through Shaq when he is guarded by trash matchups, simple common sense homie.
Thing I don’t understand is Michael Jordan never played in the west though and people don’t criticise him for that
Yes he was 6-0 against the western teams in the finAls but what if he had to play back to back to back series’s against western teams idk
Tbh idrc about the goat debate but that was just a thought I had
That’s a good thought bro but they don’t criticize Michael because in Mj’s era the east was stronger than the west was and he was going through the harder comp to get to the finals. Lebron played in an east that wasn’t that good to get to these all time finals team he faced.
@@boyimaboss1238 People said that basketball have only gotten soft, less tougher, and worse since then, if that's the case then nobody would actually watch basketball, the rules have gotten a little bit soft which is fairly true, but because of that, the game of basketball has developed and changed a lot to adapt to the current era, for example they removed the hand checking rule and defenders nowadays have to react quicker to get in front of the ball handler and you need to be more athletic in order to do so. The defense schemes have also changed drastically in order to defend the perimeter since a lot of players nowadays know how to shoot a 3. I just hate when people said that MJ played in a tougher and better era, the game is clearly harder nowadays, if you really like seeing players throwing hands with each other because they're "tough" then go watch the UFC lol
The west in the 90’s is not at the same level as the 2000’s or 2010’s west. The league at the time was slightly stronger in the eastern conference.
How old are you of course that wasn't a narrative cuz player movement wasn't what it is now back then and yes like they said the east tougher then. The game goes through swings and cycles

I don't like Bron necessarily.. I don't have to like someone to respect them tho. I won't deny credit where it's due. My respect to the king
thank you. You not like other haters but your still an enemy to me
the real question is, did this ring push him over kareem for 2nd place
I don't think Kareem has been seen like that but I think he has been second minimum for a while. Then again I think comparing centers from that era to any other player of any other era is reaaaaalllllyyyyy hard because of the sheer talent difference
kareem is not better than lebron. he dominated the worst era of basketball and failed to win until he teamed up with the best pg ever.
@@luhjayceho kareem had a chip before joining the lakers. Also how is him dominating a "weak" era, anything different than lebron dominating a weak eastern conference for 7 years?
@@oz_leon4198 exactly he won ONCE before joining magic. there’s a difference between a weak conference and a weak era. plus lebron came to the west and dominated so 🤷🏽♂️
@@luhjayceho and kareem didn't dominate in the west? He won 3 mvps and 1 finals mvp while in the west. The reason he only won once before is because he only played for 6 years before joining the lakers and at that time there just were better teams around than the bucks, like the lakers and knicks.
Dude your storytelling skills are amazing! Its like I'm watching a movie 😂
Thank God, I thought this series was gone forever!
my personal top 15: “best player” to me means how much a player helps a reasonably constructed team win a championship(so floor raisers like westbrook aren’t valued much)
so skills that fit well with championship teams and good offense like being able to play with other superstars means i value skills like shooting, passing, and defense a lot
1. lebron
2. steph curry
3. anthony davis
4. kawhi leonard
5. giannis antetokounmpo
6. KD
7. james harden
8. luka
9. jokic
10 dame
11. jimmy butler
12. embiid
13. tatum
14. paul george
15. kyrie irving
if u disagree id love to have a civil conversation on why💯
I’d put KD at least above Giannis and kawhi
@@JonCom3dy see honestly i would too, i’m just a lilllll hesitant because of his achilles even tho his game isn’t necessary relied on athleticism
Nice list but Paul George shouldn't be in the list I rather put Donovan Mitchell, Klay, Murray, Chris Paul, or even Bam Adebayo 😂😂😂 that man Way off P always chokes
Why would you put lebron at #1 when he can't play in a system and literally has no offensive game offball?
@@joeyzavala7411 his defense is. But I hear you.
After this title, I think LeBrons case for goat is the strongest. I have taught so before, but I definetly understood why people would say mj is the goat. I still obviously do, but I think, that now LeBrons case is much stronger then his.
@BIGmonkeys 23 I honestly want to agree with you but idiots will always say 6-0
He beat an injured 5 seed...
@BIGmonkeys 23 isn't lebron third in all time season scoring and number one in all time playoff scoring at the moment? so you can say he gets number 2 in all time season scoring next season and maybe number 1 the season after. If he gets a MVP and another ring I would confirm him as GOAT. But that's me personally people have different requirements no matter how unrealistic.
@BIGmonkeys 23 yeah that makes sense
LeBron case for goat is much stronger then Jordan's????????????????🤔
8:45 "What are you doing? Seriously what are you doing? I felt the other announcer so much.
YESSIR KING BRON IS BACKKK
LeBron is my GOAT, MJ might be your GOAT, Kareem might be your GOAT and that’s okay...what isn’t okay is hating on another player and diminishing their accomplishments just because they’re not your favorite player
@BIGmonkeys 23 Damn right he's gonna get hate. That's why I'm here, boss
@BIGmonkeys 23 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OBVIOUSLY LEBRON WANTED TO PLAY WITH THE HIS HAIRLINE BROTHA G.O.A.T, THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, ALEX CARUSOOOOO..
People need to give him his flowers before he steps off the court for good. One of the greatest players in basketball history.
This was very epic and wholesome usually I put in a lip when I watch RUclips but yo vid had me locked in till the end 🙌🏼💯 great quality bro keep it up
MJ is the GOAT to me, but people who act like MJ would have been 10-0 if he and Lebron swapped places is beyond mind boggling.
Its all theoretical, so nothing is for certain but I believe that most sensible people can agree that if MJ were in Lebron’s shoes the only result that MJ would have changed was against the Mavs in 2011. MJ wouldnt have beaten any other teams that Lebron has faced. He would be 5-5 MAYBE 6-4 AT BEST. So for people to act like theres this HUGE gap between MJ and everyone else is ridiculous.
Does that diminish MJ’s greatness? Hell i think if he was 6-4 instead of 6-0 I think 6-4 is MORE impressive.
Is 6-0 in the finals an impressive feat? No doubt. But should that be the end all and be all argument to be used to minimize Lebron’s accomplishment? No.
Nice try Bron stan, try harder
So Jordan leads his teams to victory against the Warriors and Spurs. Nice try Bron stan
That ain't more impressive you delusional Bron stan
And bubbles don't count Bron stan
lebron at 35
Ring
Fmvp
assist leader
....and i think thats it.
MJ at 35
Ring
Fmvp
MVP
All star game mvp
Scoring champion (10th)
3-peat
it's weird that they are all amazed by what lebron done at age 35 when mj does more!
Bron has WAYYYYY more mileage than Jordan had at this age.
Don’t forget that MJ didn’t come into the league at 18. He was in college for at least 3yrs before he joined the league.
@@projekt679 so what? Is that an excuse? Dont forget that he won a ncaa title there and bragging that favors MJ even more lol
Biblical If you factor the fact Lebron entered the league at 17yrs and MJ 22yrs old you can see that Lebron already has an advantage in filling the stats column. In addition you have to factor the season where Jordan broke his foot. Finally the two seasons he decided to go play baseball.
So What! Is than an excuse!
No... it’ merely facts coming from a Warriors fan that lived through the MJ hype during the 80s and 90s.
MVP is a media award and all star game MVP??? 😂😂
I love how they call it the bubble title. Yet if anybody else had one they wouldn't have said anything about a bubble. They also act like the Lakers weren't already the best team before the shutdown anyway
Lakers basically bought their roster and played easy teams that year. Like a Heat team who was missing multiple starters in several games that series
No one cares
My boy dom back with a banger
I never comment on videos but this was so well put together. Great vid
The story of bradley beal and John wall::::: careers waisted
Why not join lakers and make your legacy
Beal still got some time wall lost a lot of time though
Lebron is, longevity wise, the goat. I don't thin there's ,uch disputing that unless you're really into Kareem. He's been the best player in the nba for longer than anybody ever. I don't like using mvps and championships to rank players because htey're dependant on team circumstance and team mates, but just based on level of play, Lebron has been at the highest level for the longest, and has an argument for the greatest peak, probably behind MJ and in the same tier as Shaq. A once in a liftetime athelte.
Longevity wise, Stockton is the GOAT. And I'm the biggest Stockton hater you'll find on the internet.
@@Abbad1579 stockton never sniffed mvp level. I'm talking about longevity at the high level of peaks. I mean career value.
@@starfyre59 Well if you're looking it in that sense, then LeBron is definitely the GOAT when it comes to longevity. I just have one question for you. Do you think Stockton is a top 30 player of all time? Because I believe Stockton is hella overrated.
@@Abbad1579 I think he is becuas eof his insane longevity. But he peaked as an all nba player. Have you heard of Ben Taylor? He's a basketball analyst who's idea I subscribe to. He has a top 40 list on his site backpicks. Look it up if you're interested, he made a profile for Stockton where he basically lays out his short comings and why he never approached an all time peak.
@@starfyre59 I know most of Stockton's chokes in the playoffs. The 1996 wcf, 1990, first round, 1992 wcf etc. But I don't understand how only longevity can carry a number 2 option to become a top 30 player of all time. But I still respect your opinion.
DOM we needed this, finally a real DOM video back
From 05-18 made the playoffs thats just wild
No
Imagine TRADING LEBRON JAMES? IMAGINE. bro... ive never laughed harder
😂🤣😂🤣😂 I read this just as this was said 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Cause for goat every year for the next 12 years when Lebron wins 12 more rings
I was wishing Dom would add to this series, thank you so much for reading my mind Dom ❤️
This was dope Dom. I liked this recap.
this was the easiest ring ever didnt play any good teams
W
If i’m being honest I haven’t been this annoyed about an nba champion since 2013, and I’m a fudging spurs fan. I don’t know why but I’m just so triggered probably because the most toxic fan base has been awakened again.
😂😂😂
These Lebron defense videos out of hand the entirety of espn is determined to make this man basketball god. I have literally never seen so many videos and personalities make a concentrated effort to push a narrative in the basketball world.
Bro damn near everyone on ESPN still calls MJ the GOAT... Stephen A, Max, etc.
This is the best series you have on your RUclips channel
- Let me to introduce myself, my name is BRON!
Is literally one of my favourite phrases I've ever heard about LeBron, alongside "With no regard for human life!"
Damn, 2 years in the making. It's like I'm witnessing history.
Eat him
Chemistry for both ad and lebron is one aspect but the coach who give the motivation to be a team player for all the Lakers/Management /supporters/fans it is the key...all players treat each each other as "One" family...
Man this video was so fire I like the direction you going Dom
Damn brodie, you need a Netflix documentary no lie 💯
The ending got me goosebumps, great video keep it up
This nigga Dom started the case for goat series back in 2016 and has taken so long on it that Clayton Crawley beat him to it
Dom this video is fire
