Nobody is saying that man . Y’all really pretend like dudes say LeBron is trash or something lol. He’s universally regarded as one of the 5 best basketball players ever. And even regarded by a growing subset of the population as THE greatest basketball player of all time. Despite, having some glaring moments that should take away from that, as well as simply not winning as much as like 2-3 other people, who match his stats, longevity, talent, production and in mikes case....more accolades etc.
I know, yiu get the itch when you see people fall into convention. And can’t wait to get your **** off. But I think it’s fairly easy to say that Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul Jabbar have had greater basketball CAREERS than LeBron James.
Now, if you wanted to say LeBron is the most TALENTED player we’ve ever seen, them you for sure have a closer argument.
well i was obviously exaggerating for comedic effect.
no one is literally making that argument.
all im saying is that it's arguable.
but you have many prominent media figures like SAS, Bill Simmons who want to tell you it's not.
I think that's obviously dumb and I don't think im being contrarian.
it's evidence by "growing subset of the population as THE greatest basketball player of all time" it's evidenced by the straining, and the ridiculous arguments some people need to make to keep up the narrative that "it's not close"
IT'S CLOSE. IT'S OBVIOISLY CLOSE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT YOU CAN MAKE FOR LBJ.
and TBH yall the contrarians with this "it's not close" BS
I think most rational basketball people may lean one way or another but this "it's not close" is a an opinion only shared by a vocal minority of oldsters, kobe fans and contrarians.
