I like that LeBron is a family man and he isn't a party animal and doesn't get in trouble. I mean he's like one of the richest athletes in the world and can literally buy anything and can have any woman in the world, but he's so "down to earth" and humble. He always will be "the kid from Akron". God bless this man!
He ain’t thank god so why god bless him …this the first time I hear a player talk and not claim god look at Murray interview and joker….god is the reason he made it
The day this man retires is the day I will fall into tears, from my home state, brought my hometown a title and the reason why I love basketball as much as I do today. We love you lebron.
I have lived to watch the last part of MJ career, the entire of Kobe’s career and now the entire of Lebron’s career and I count it such a blessing. So glad I have witnessed greatness from 3 amazingly talented players
I feel you on that. I got you beat by a good number of years, so I've had a chance to see a few more Stars/Greats of the game. From Kareem to Elvin Hayes, Jerry West, Pistol Pete, Moses Malone, on up to seeing a Lebron, Giannis, Durant, Curry, The Joker. I couldn't play BB good even when I was younger 😂, but I've loved BB my whole life. Some players are like magic with a basketball, Kyrie on ball handling, Magic on passing, Curry on shooting.
I’m an MJ guy but if people want to give him that GOAT title then I’m not arguing with that. He’s done everything right from the moment he stepped foot on an nba court and his life off the court as well.
Here is the thing. If you watched Lebron’s rookie season in 2003. There was almost like these magical highlights he was doing every night. People started watching basketball again because Lebron was something special. Even when you watch those highlights it brings you back to some great memories of your life. He is a legend. It’s wild how fast 20 years has flown by. Thanks Lebron for always giving everything to this game. ✌🏻
20 years of greatness every minute of every year has been great memories for the basketball community and men as a whole watching you as a role model hats off to LeBron much love and respect goat James 💪💯
100% CORRECT , Much Respect absolutely. What a Journey, and Blessed thru the ups and downs and Created a Great Legacy from Scratch, so Hat's Off Bless up!!
I must admit that I haven’t been that big of a supporter of LeBron, but I always felt like he was a special player. He’s played this game at an elite level throughout his basketball career and that’s all anyone can ask for. I can’t think of any other player who has done that for twenty years. Congratulations Bron. You deserve your flowers young man.
LeBron spoke exactly how people feel about him. Love or hate him. We all respect his work ethic and what he has done just like Brady has done in the NFL. Some of the best are hated and loved by many.

I can go on and on but of course everyone has opinions on who the greatest player of all time is so that will always continue to be a debate. However, LeBron is considered by most people who are avid basketball fans a top 5 player in history. Even many NBA legends say he is an all time great regardless if you think he is the GOAT or not. That is a fact.
@@jerichoj1540 he’s no goat. He’s barely a top 15 player. That’s a fact. Plays in the weakest era and never dominated at all. Everyone ate on his watch. You know why? Because he is weak mentally and emotionally.

Brooooo! Me too man. I am going to be lost in the NBA when he is done.

Crazy 20 years have gone by. Dude has gone above and beyond expectations.
No one would blame him for retiring at this time. He's still contributing himself to basketball at nearly 39 years old. It's hard to imagine maintaining such a physique for 20 consecutive years. He earns all respects .
@matthewjordan6957 seems like you're jealous of the longevity LeBron has. Until it's proven, it's just speculations, and assumptions. the hate you show for this man is insane.
Lebron aint retiring any time soon. At least not until after Bronny makes the league. He wants the first father son duo in the league at the same time accolade. After officially playing either with or against Bronny in the league, I think he'll seriously consider retiring for good.
@@macio8779Aye man, that comment scared me like he a future teller. That boy name is Apocalypse2031, and he said LBJ will have a career ending injury. I think that’s a prediction and I’m screenshooting this in-case that happen.

@@bryang8967better to lose in the finals then to not get there at all half his career has been in the finals, and most he has been in the playoffs doesn't sound like a loser to me, plus he has 4 chips with a chance to add 1 or 2 more, ain't like he has 1 or 2 rings. Bro is a winner at the highest stage.
Such a beautiful role model. A lot of people hate him because of his fans. All I gotta say is don’t hate him because of him. He gives y’all his all, and don’t disrespect that. Kang.

Kobe shot two free throws and walked off the court with a torn achilles. (That's respectul) Pretending you're a social justice activist isn't very respectful. Calling yourself the goat is absolutely not respectful. You sound like a dude who just buys into the carefully crafted narrative on the guy. Congratulations you can be sold anything the media is selling.
@@puidemare2337Those are nothing but Caucasian talking points. Kobe caught a gRape case and paid off the victim (that’s respectful), you can go whine about that since she looked just like your mother did at that age.
Sometimes this man's life just feels too good to be true, he's been able to live up to the hype and went even beyond, raised a beautiful family, no drama, won chips everywhere he's gone, still putting up the numbers at this age, breaking the scoring record... Perfect role model, and that "no cheating" emphasis was deep, say what you want but he is definitely the GOAT, and once he finally retires in 2045, it will get much clearer 🙌👏👏
he's not the goat he plays with a bunch of soft wanna b's the nba does not play defense anymore jordan retired twice got drafted at 22 lebrons been in the league since 18 its taken him to almost 40 years old to break all these records and to break all jordans records he's a great player not the goat and if were talking skill kobe was closer to being the goat than lebron could ever dream about , jordan was breaking records playing against real men who played real defense you had to fight for every point todays players wouldn't make it in that era jordan was and still is in a league of his own and as long as the nba continues down the path its going no player will ever be equivalent or better than michael jordan period watching the nba today is almost like watching the harlem globetrotters it's a joke it's all about money now not about the game and that is where the problem lies jordan didn't get paid crazy salaries and look at what he did for the game he's the goat lebron doesn't have a leg to stand on when comparing the 2
I’m a 90s Kid so MJ will always be my GOAT. Kobe is my ALL time favorite. But to have cognitively an consciously witnessed Bron become one of the greatest to ever do it is something special for my generation (80s babies 90s kids). It’s a point of pride that he’s ours. 💪🏾🐐

I mean most knew he wasn't retiring but it's getting close to that time. It'll be tough to see it when it eventually happens along with some of the others that retired already. 20+ year career is remarkable and the journey is what really gets you in the feels from HS days to now.

I am man enough at my age now to admit, i was once a Bron hater for no reason other than ppl and their opinions, but I was completely wrong and apologize. This man is the perfect example of class and greatness✊🏾
You can criticize someone’s on court antics while still respecting them as a man. I know that maybe a hard distinction to grasp, especially as an unhinged fanboy.

From driving from my hometown Cleveland to Akron to watch his high school games to now its amazing. I used to always think he has accomplished alot but what would he have been like if he had that dog killer instinct-like aggression that both Jordan and Kobe played with I can only imagine. I am glad I had a chance in my life to see both Jordan and Bron play LIVE in their careers. I was there when Jordan lit the Cavs up for 69 ( he also had 18 boards and 4 steals sheesh) and obviously attended a ton of Lebron games in Cleveland. I hate I never saw Kobe play but I will get out to LA now that I live in Vegas to watch Lebron play before its over and with any luck after its over maybe the NBA will grant him a team in Vegas now that we have recently won the WNBA championship and the Stanley Cup. Great player, great man to his community a great father great husband to the woman he has been with since high school and still looks at her like he is crushing on her. Random: My fav version of Lebron was the second season in Miami #6 version he was a nightmare he played angry that entire season and barely spoke to the press.
I grew up watching MJ he was the reason I chose the game of basketball and loved it, Kobe inspired me to go on having that mamba mentality, Lebron made me realize that no matter how much people hate you, you have to inspire them by bringing out that good inside you. Lebron made an impact on this game like no other athlete. He will always be remembered As the GOAT.
He’s don’t everything right since day 1 never been in trouble been a role model to the kids did everything for the kids etc his family there with him it’s truly beautiful people can hate all they want but you have to respect and appreciate his greatness ❤❤❤
Wow I actually teared up watching this. It's great to see that bron is such an amazing human being. Most ppl don't even know what he does for his community too with scholarships and even healthcare. Hating on him on or off the basketball court is just lame.
He already said a million times that he wants to play with bronny so no way he was retiring!!! He deserves his credit the third best basketball player that ever touched the court is definitely a astounding accomplishment!!!
🧹🧹🧹;3.5 & 6 despite superteams; 2011 meltdown; constant excuses for Ls; faking injuries; playing hooky during season; load management crown. Am I missing anything? There's something else, but I won't go there. This guy has cheated the game like no other. And only 3.5 rings in 20 years to show for it.
EVEN IF YOUR NOT A LAKER / LEBRON FAN / YOU GOTTA APPRECIATE IT FOR THE GAME WE ALL LOVE 🏀 HE TRULY LOVES THE GAME OF BALL 🏀 AND A PLAYER/ COACH / LEADER WHATEVER IT IS YOU CANT HATE THE MAN
🎊✨ CONGRATULATIONS THE KING LEBRON JAMES ✨🎉 Lebron, I don't care what anyone said about you, that was a great speech, great! Like you said, " I know some of you hate me." You're the GOAT and you handle it well. Keep on being LEBRON JAMES, on and off the court. No one can touch you, on or off the bench. And I believe, they haven't seen any thing yet. God bless you and your family ✨🙏
@@clintholt563you can't be serious? How dumb are you people??? Reading these comments is mind blowing I had no idea there's so many morons in this world
For as long as I hated on Lebron for most of his career, I eventually came to admire him and his greatness as an athlete and as a human being. "You're going to respect me and appreciate what I've given to this game" hit me like a ton of bricks. Despite how you feel about him as a player, you can't hate on the way he carries himself with so much poise, on how he is a family man who loves his wife and has raised beautiful children, and on how he has given so much to elevate the game of basketball. Whether you view MJ or Lebron as the goat, this game would not be what it is today without Lebron James.
@@user-lt5dg1ix6uHe's been in the NBA for 20 years and never indicated that he was considering retirement until recently. No one knew whether or not he was going to retire until today.

No one would blame him for retiring at this time. He's still contributing himself to basketball at nearly 39 years old. It's hard to imagine maintaining such a physique for 20 consecutive years. He earns all respects .
He's so full of himself, it's embarrassing.
@matthewjordan6957 seems like you're jealous of the longevity LeBron has. Until it's proven, it's just speculations, and assumptions. the hate you show for this man is insane.
@@sethgadisonmusicno one jealous lol you gotta be jealous on mj destroying lebron 1 on 1 lol
Lebron aint retiring any time soon. At least not until after Bronny makes the league. He wants the first father son duo in the league at the same time accolade. After officially playing either with or against Bronny in the league, I think he'll seriously consider retiring for good.
Heard lebron wants to play with Bryce in the nba also

@@Modeek6Facts. They can’t let the 90s go. I’m sorry but the 90s pales in comparison to post 2000s NBA it was the Expansion era.. Literally the weakest decade next the 70s
@@Modeek6 Flopping ain't really that respectful. Faking injuries when you lose is not respectful. Being carried off the court because you got "leg cramps" ain't a good look. Kobe shot two free throws and walked off the court with a torn achilles. (That's respectul) Pretending you're a social justice activist isn't very respectful. Calling yourself the goat is absolutely not respectful. You sound like a dude who just buys into the carefully crafted narrative on the guy. Congratulations you can be sold anything the media is selling.
@@puidemare2337Those are nothing but Caucasian talking points.
Kobe caught a gRape case and paid off the victim (that’s respectful), you can go whine about that since she looked just like your mother did at that age.
Sometimes this man's life just feels too good to be true, he's been able to live up to the hype and went even beyond, raised a beautiful family, no drama, won chips everywhere he's gone, still putting up the numbers at this age, breaking the scoring record... Perfect role model, and that "no cheating" emphasis was deep, say what you want but he is definitely the GOAT, and once he finally retires in 2045, it will get much clearer 🙌👏👏

From driving from my hometown Cleveland to Akron to watch his high school games to now its amazing. I used to always think he has accomplished alot but what would he have been like if he had that dog killer instinct-like aggression that both Jordan and Kobe played with I can only imagine. I am glad I had a chance in my life to see both Jordan and Bron play LIVE in their careers. I was there when Jordan lit the Cavs up for 69 ( he also had 18 boards and 4 steals sheesh) and obviously attended a ton of Lebron games in Cleveland. I hate I never saw Kobe play but I will get out to LA now that I live in Vegas to watch Lebron play before its over and with any luck after its over maybe the NBA will grant him a team in Vegas now that we have recently won the WNBA championship and the Stanley Cup. Great player, great man to his community a great father great husband to the woman he has been with since high school and still looks at her like he is crushing on her. Random: My fav version of Lebron was the second season in Miami #6 version he was a nightmare he played angry that entire season and barely spoke to the press.
lebronto
I grew up watching MJ he was the reason I chose the game of basketball and loved it, Kobe inspired me to go on having that mamba mentality, Lebron made me realize that no matter how much people hate you, you have to inspire them by bringing out that good inside you. Lebron made an impact on this game like no other athlete. He will always be remembered As the GOAT.

Whether you view MJ or Lebron as the goat, this game would not be what it is today without Lebron James.
