    If crying, traveling, double dribbling, flopping, LeBron played during era of Magic, Bird, Dr J, Karl Malone, and Kareem his career would have ended 10 years ago. There's no "CRYING" in baskeball!!! Lebron is definitely not the GOAT. He doesn't rank in the top 5. He's on the bottom of the Top 10.

    The argument that Lebron faced tougher competition in the finals is a moot argument, because MJ made the Bulls the best team in the finals every trip they made to the finals. The reason Lebron is not the GOAT is because he did not sustain dominance on both ends of the court like MJ did, and for as long as MJ did (10 scoring titles and 9 All Defensive FIRST team in a row), on top of NEVER disappearing in the Finals. Lebron can not escape what Dallas did to his super team in Miami. As well as the Spurs. So what, Dallas was a better team than Lebron's created super team?? Y'all need to stop. On the highest stage with the most stakes (the NBA Finals) MJ NEVER disappeared. NEVER! Lebron did. Period. And We don't even hold Lebron's first trip to the finals against the Spurs in 2003 against him.

      Lebron is just a frontrunner he can't take over and bring a team back very often. When you watched Kobe it always felt like a matter of time til he gets hot and goes on a run. If lebron is playing poorly it feels like it's going to be a blowout because even though he's playing bad, they still running offense through him.

      @AbigailMcGarvey 6 месяцев назад +21

      Don't forget the era. Defensive three in the key means rim-defenders have been legislated out of the game. He is a bad mid-range jump shooter but doesn't have to take that shot because he can put his head down and shoulder to the rim. No one is there to help. In the 80s and 90s, bigger men would rotate to help and would put him down and/or make him shoot free throws. "But Lebron's 'shooting' percentage is good!" Take away the layups/dunks, and it's actually awful. Strangely, however, he shoots a better three than he does a mid-range two. Great passer though. . .but then again, the floor is spread out now, so you don't need to be Magic or Bird to make that pass. He's a pharmaceutical marvel, I think. NBA prefers to mythologize players as a marketing tool instead of the sport itself. Quite sad.

    Then, miraculously, when the rest of the team started racking up wins and got into playoff contention.. He suddenly got better and started playing again. Lebron is for Lebron… period.

      @@chrisjowoo83 Hard disagree, John Stockton and Karl Malone are two of the best players ever. Stockton is at easily the second or third-best point guard of all time because he has the most career assists, is second only to Magic in APG, and lead the league 9 times. He's also 6th in steals per game. Both Stockton and Malone have a higher offensive win share than Shaq, Harden, Durant or Kobe.
      Malone and Stockton are not the GOAT, but the list of players better than them is extremely short.

    Flopping is A reason, not THE reason.
    His resume doesn't stack with Jordan's or Kareem's. He doesn't pass Jordan or even Kobe or Bird on the eye test.
    Also, he didn't face tougher Finals competition overall. Facing teams that averaged fewer wins with fewer all-stars. Plus he got crushed by the Spurs and Warriors anyway, going 2-5 against those teams.
    Also, he does lack "the bag" that Jordan and Kobe had. He has no handle. He is laterally slow and his shot is very stiff and robotic.
    90% of his points come on transition dunks, ramming guys in the paint and getting the foul, or chucking low % 3's.
    He can't adjust his shot in mid-air like Jordan or Kobe. Can't shake an elite wing defender in iso.
    He relies on picks and mismatches in those situations.
    He's definitely a top 10 player and maybe even top 5, but for me personally, if I need to win a basketball game to save my life, and get to pick anyone at their peak, I'm taking a lot of guys over LeBron.
    Jordan, Bird, Kobe, and maybe even guys like Shaq and Duncan.

      When lbj came into the league people would say if he worked on his jumpshot he would be unstoppable. Well he never worked on it and at his age with no jumpshot he's pretty incapable of playing within the flow of offense.

The way Lebron plows through players like a linebacker in football. You have to have speed agility finesse talent and skill and you have to make your shots count by making them when your team needs them most. That is what MJ had done his entire career. That is why HE is the goat and Lebron,, well lebron is a joke and his cult of bronsexuals are just annoying.

      I agree on all these guys, but let's just look at Bird.
      In his prime before back injuries, Bird is giving you 28-10-7 on 50-40-90 shooting. He's also hitting those clutch shots and giving 100% on defense, diving for loose balls, etc.
      This shouldn't be a hot take. Anyone who watched Larry knows. I'd also take Jordan, Kobe and a few others over LeBron.
      A lot of this comes down to clutch factor and effort, because any top 10 player ever is going to post great stats.
      Shaq is giving you 28-12-3 plus 3 blocks on 60% shooting.
      Jordan is giving you 32-6-6 on 51% with elite defense and clutch ability.
      Kobe is giving you 28-6-5 on 48% with great defense and clutch ability.
      LeBron is giving you 27-7-7 on 51% with inconsistent defense and avoiding clutch shots.

    The Petty Queen. NBA had to issue a warning to knock off the flopping. What other player has been issued that warning? Not any of the all time greats. Or stretched out on the floor like he’s been shot. And if you’re the all time leader shot’s taken, well it’s no surprise that you’d be the all time leader in scoring, and turn overs. He hasn’t won the regular season MVP since 2012/13 season. There’s nothing that says GOAT when you’re only 4 Chips in 10 finals over a 21/22 yrs in the association. One game separates a 72 / 10 Bulls from the 73 / 9 Warriors. Only 2 more rings you say? How about those 2 three peats? MJ accomplished with the same team. No teaming up with other All stars to try and win a chip. And stats without accomplishments, are just stats. NBA owners are not paying multiple million dollar salaries to see who has the best STATS at the end of the season. Trophies, rings and Chips. There are other reasons why he’s not the GOAT, besides his ridiculous antics on the court.

      Kyle Kuzma literally PUSHED LeBron to play defense a few years back. Yes, I'll agree that you need to pace yourself and not go nuts every play. I personally don't fault LeBron for that, because he's come up with iconic great defensive plays. To me, why he never passes MJ in my book:
      * the mere fact that flopping is rewarded is a joke and the refs trip over themselves to reward his flopping
      * how many times do we need to see him take five steps and not get called for traveling?
      * he pretty much gets free drives to the basket, because with the new rules, it's simply impossible to defend his power drives without being called for a foul. MJ got his ass handed to him when he drove to the lane
      * I hear people say all the time that he's played 20 years and MJ never played that long. LEBRON NEVER WENT TO COLLEGE! Back when MJ played, almost no one went straight to the NBA, no matter how good you were.
      * one of the biggest arguments: you could beat the s**t out of players in the 80s and 90s. It was a much rougher, more physical game. LeBron's scoring average would drop 5ppg if he had to battle Rick Mahorn and Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer and the Davis Brothers and Oakley and X-Man in the paint. Put MJ in today's soft NBA and he averages 50ppg and plays as many years as he wants.

Jordan never choked in a finals. Jordan never lost more than 3 games in a row. Jordan never had the type of players around him Lebron had. Jordan had 8 50 point playoff games, most ever. Jordan shot 50% from 3 one season. Jordan is the only player in history to never score less than 15 points in any playoff game. He won both Mvp and Best Defensive player in the same season in an era with with Stockton, Olajuwa, Shaq etc. Lebron has longevity and is the Goat of complaining and flopping.

    At the highest stage with the most stakes (The NBA Finals) Lebron DISAPPEARED against Dallas, and the Spurs. And it was Kyrie that hit the biggest shot in Cleveland Cavs history, not Lebron. So it has nothing to do with his flopping and complaining and always passing the blame on to his teammates that negates him from being the G.O.A.T. (although it adds to it).
    And let's keep it real ... how many stories do we have of MJ going off on players that talked trash to him, to the point that coaches AND players would ALWAYS tell players that were guarding MJ, NOT to say anything to him. MJ would obliterate Dillon Brooks for talking trash to him. MJ would obliterate the Rockets for the coach talking trash to him. Remember what MJ did to the Knicks because Jeff Van Gundy said MJ was a con man? The thing is, Lebron fans do not know about those games and stories because they were not around then.

    This is spot-on. It's not just about achievements in performance categories, such as the number of championships, records held, and all-star appearances. There needs to be something more that comes with being the GOAT, and that is the killer mentality. Jordan would get decked, rise, and respond with an onslaught of points. On the flip side, LeBron tends to seek referee intervention, airing grievances on various platforms post-game. I'm by no means an expert on GOAT behavior, but I don’t think that’s it.
    What really struck me is how LeBron's behavior reflects the times we're in. In 2024, we have the technology to social engineer and shape narratives, like LeBron's somewhat desperate pursuit of GOAT status. Unlike the '80s and '90s, where social media couldn't amplify these ambitions, Jordan's GOAT status, though supported by Nike, felt more organic. It wasn’t just Jordan's play but the more intangible parts…the fear and respect he evokes…his overall presence reinforced the message. Additionally, fans back then likely wouldn't tolerate the crybaby antics we see today. It's a fascinating shift in the game and how that reflects the cultural changes too.

    For me it's level of competition, 10 finals from beating a historically shitty conference (that he made even shittier teaming up with other Eastern stars) isn't as impressive as the hype suggests, before we even get to the Finals record
    Jordan and Kobe in particular would have sliced through those conferences too; Lebron staying healthy the whole time is the most impressive thing about it, and there's a big element of luck in that. Jordan's East was tough with most of the league contenders (Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, Magic), made it out 6 times, won 6 times -- Kobe went through a TOUGH WC 7 times, won 5 of them and both teams that beat the Lakers were top 5 all-time defenses that keyed in on Kobe himself.
    Who was Lebron's best Eastern competition that he actually beat? Old Celtics, Rookie Tatum Celtics, Indiana with PG and Peak Hibbert??? Light work for most ATGs with decent squad around them. Then when you get to the Finals Lebronball doesn't cut it, too predictable for the great teams -- which Jordan and Kobe had to face ON THE WAY to the Finals which is why they were better prepared and adaptable. But it gets Lebron his stats which makes it easy to point the finger at teammates and wait for the media and statnerds to make excuses for you...
    Lebron is still great, some of us have seen better that's just what it is. I say the same thing to Kobe fans about Jordan, no hate! And if more Wilt or Kareem footage comes out to convince me I'll be honest and put them over Jordan
    But I watched all 3 of these win all of their chips in real time starting in 91 and Jordan > Kobe > Lebron based on who's leading their team to WIN (all I care about), all things being equal
