LeBron has definitely declined, but here's the thing: prime LeBron was so good that even at 75% of what he once was, LeBron is still better than the vast majority of the League. Dude is still top 10 in the league
@markmeloni2388 I see what you're trying to do there typical internet 🤡 tryna throw shade on bron 🤣. Nuggets WERE the defending champions with hella pieces. Murray porter aaron gordan don't matter?
Empty stats though. It's not going to translate the wins and that's facts. They were a 9 seed. NBA changed the rules (play in) to help the aging Stars. 2001 40 year old MJ was guess what a 9 seed with 21 year old rip Hamilton as his 2nd best player. Had MJ had 2001 Jermaine O'Neal (equivalent to Ad in 2023) he would have been a 4 seed.
@@buyingbuckets6014 Um actually, the Lakers have never finished below 7th since the play in was implemented. Last I checked a 7th seed would’ve still been a guaranteed playoff team by old rules so ur lying, stop the 🧢. Also, how is the play in helping aging players if Steph who’s about to be 37 just missed the playoffs as a 10th seed? 🤦🏾♂️ I swear yall dummies just be saying anything now. So now that we’ve established that all the facts prove u wrong and that ur straight up lying and just saying bs u can delete ur comment now. 😂🤡
@@AndrewCampbellsports there is no way this is happening nga 🤦♂️. Lakers ain't getting a Top 6 seed. And AD would literally need to average like 30 and 10+ to even have a chance.
Bron’s aged for sure…but in his prime he was so far ahead of everyone else that it took him aging to 40 with multiple lower leg injuries just to bring him back to reality…as a top 10 player lol
LeBron is like one of those high scoring brainy students in ur classroom.. he gonna score in every subject.. so yea.. he gonna tick all boxes like all nba, top 10 in league in "some" stat or other
LeBron James is still a top 5 player in the NBA when fully healthy. I would only take Jokic, Luka, and Giannis over him. He is still the greatest force of nature driving to the basket. He is the best passer in the NBA. He is the best leader in the NBA. He is the most clutch player in the NBA. He is the smartest player in the NBA. He is a better coach than most coaches in the NBA. And even with the minor decline in athleticism and defense, he has made improvements in shooting and off-ball basketball. He was the best player on the planet from 2007-2020. From 2021-2024, he has remained a top 5 player.
ESPN's ratings have actually been increasing in recent years, despite some other networks seeing a decline: 2022: ESPN's audience increased 12% 2023: ESPN's audience increased 7% so far in the year April 2024: ESPN averaged 2.1 million viewers per night during prime time, which was a 42% increase from the same month in 2023
The reason Lebron just has 4 rings, is mainly because most of the finals he didn't have a good series...no body else stepped up. The entire team has always depended on him even when he has had another all-star on his team, they still feed off his energy. He is that special and has been, and still is the most efficient player in nba to this day. He just chooses not to go all in because he wants to make his team mates better and also allow him play more games and longer because depreciation no matter how hard he has tried to suppress it, is a constant. So, if he chooses to play mvp basketball every night....there's no player that can come close. That said, HE IS THE GOAT, love it or hate it.
Tim you a hater, Mavs beat the Clippers(6 games) to get revenge for ‘20 and ‘21 playoffs, Thunder(1st seed, 6 games) and Timberwolves(5 games) Klay coming off the bench? He’s a perfect fit with Luka and Kyrie and Naji and bench unit provide scoring and defense while klay, Luka and Kyrie resting Defense isn’t the issue, the offense IS the issue lack of shooting back in the finals
Man who is the euro? Every since he became a member he always throw shade on Bron. Sick of it. Part of the reason why we stopped watching this show.. lame,boring,biased and unplugged from the game...
The question wasn't about a window. It was about if Lebron will be an All Star and that is NO CAP. Dude definitely getting another All NBA. This dude is the NBA 😂😂😂
okc wins regular season absolutely not winning the west not much experience needs another true star or vet reminds me of raptors before khawi but they cant even reach the conference finals
Lebron was easily the best player on team USA(curry close 2nd). The only players maybe better than lebron were luka giannis and jokic that still makes lebron a top 5 player despite him not being in his prime anymore
Technically, he should’ve made first team if you’re going straight off individual numbers, but they put team success into it but if the Lakers find a way to be a top three seed, he will be first team
