LeBron James

[randymoss1881]

It’s quite hilarious that Lebron talks up that GSW win like he didn’t beg for green to be suspended while night got hurt as well. No to mention Kyrie being the 2nd best player that series.

And losing to Dallas who had old vets and dirk while you’re in your prime with a stacked team. Fuck outta here

It’s all Lebron just like he beat GSW by himself

I agree, its a bad look, and frankly he shouldn't even mention it. Because it makes his case appear weaker. And it comes across undercutting the achievements of others. Because he did not do it all alone.

Not even suggesting he means that, but its going to come across like that.

But I don't think he's WRONG either. I actually think it did put him down as the best ever. I also think he has no reason to even mention it, either.

Again, he just can't stop himself though.

There's no point even mentioning it. But this is LeBron, and he has to reassure himself a lot. So its not surprising either.

I don't think Draymond shit is a blemish. Dude is actually a very overrated player, and we beat them pretty badly when he was playing too.

That was one the best series ever played by a player. LB is not wrong, but he's wrong to talk about it MY opinion, because its just going to make him look bad.

So rings don’t count unless is the 2016 ring. His loss to Dallas disqualifies him dude got outplayed by Jason terry.
Dirk has to be a top 3 player or goat using this idiotic logic.

LeBron has without a doubt gone full Hollywood since his move to LA. You can see it in his actions and comments. Hes just so damn full of himself in a way that's becoming exhausting.

Draymond got suspended because he couldn't stop himself from kicking guys in the dick in previous rounds. Now Cavs fans are pissed at LeBron for talking up the 2016 finals? It was historic, in more ways than one. He came back down 3-1 to break a 50 year professional sports title drought. He led both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks for the series. No one else has done that. It doesn't get much more impressive than LeBron's 2016 finals.

Lebron sucked in the 2011 finals. He's been GOAT level ever since.

And Michael Jordan has 3 first round exits. LB none. Look, its kinda petty to use one series why a guy can't be goat. This notion Jordan never had a bad series, never got beat down is absurd.

If you want to say Jordan is the best ever, I don't care. He's earned the right to have that mantle. But I think its crazy to suggest LB hasn't either.

They're both great players. I'm not some LB fan. I really don't give a fuck about him now he's not a Cav.

But I'm not going to lie and deny his greatness. He's a GREAT player.

 

[Cavs Need To Win]

In my opinion LeBron is the GOAT. If someone says Michael is that does not bother me, it's debatable.

In my opinion getting to the Finals and losing is better than not getting there at all. So the argument that MJ is 6-0 in the Finals, my thought on that is why does LBJ get penalized for getting there?

BUT in that same token, to be fair Godfather, saying that MJ has 3 first round exits and LNJ has none, in the first 2 seasons LeBron didn't even make the playoffs. I don't think Michael should get penalized for making the playoffs and being out in the first round compared to LeBron not making it at all.

I agree however people seem to dismiss his Washington days. Those two seasons he missed the playoffs. At the end of the day LeBron's career needs to be evaluated once his career is over. Honestly I'm interested to see how he recovers from this groin injury. I had one in high school and lingered the entire year. Lastly I still have MJ as the goat but LeBron is breathing down his neck.

The more this dude opens his mouth the more he takes away from the championship.

Not a fan of this guy anymore.

I see where you're coming from but I think you can separate the talent from the person, and I advocate it

 

[K1rieIrving>AllOtherPG's]

MJ, Kareem, Brady never called themselves the GOAT.... it’s such a bad idea, he should really consult a PR person before he does these type of shows.

“I beat GS” “I’m the greatest player ever”... it’s really cringey stuff, It’s Always me me me, you forgot about Kyrie that averaged 27 and hit the greatest shot in NBA history? or teammates like JR Smith that hit back to back 3s to keep us in the game?

How about stop talking about how amazing you are for one second and talk about them for a change?

I feel you but it's just part of this new generation of me me me....

I've chimed in on how I feel about LeBron since his defection; not a fan of it but I still root for him. I don't think this was a particularly smart PR move, but whatever.

It makes me feel dirty to say it, but I want LeBron to win a ring for the Lakers for 2 reasons: 1) It would mean the dissolution of the Warriors, which will be the most positive thing for the NBA since, well, our title victory 2) I'm too invested in his GOAT case because of all the years he spent with this franchise.

And if LeBron gets to 40/10/10 while being the only player to lead 3 different franchises to title glory, his claim to GOAT will be staked and I think it stops being a discussion.

Oh come on guys, Muhammad Ali was a thing. LeBron is him but not funny.

Draymond got suspended because he couldn't stop himself from kicking guys in the dick in previous rounds.

This is the one thing that I love trolling people with when they pull the "Draymond Got Suspended" card. Dude escaped ejection in the OKC series and it finally caught up with him.

GS was up 3-1, not 3-2. and it was not a guarantee that the Cavs were gonna not still job when you have that 3-launching BS that both Binky and PBS Logo Face have a habit of doing. The Cavs had WAY more to lose in that situation.

that was an all-time choke by an all-time team. Got pounded by LeBron and Kyrie and blocked by Kevin Love. GOAT
Only thing that could have topped that, is if the Cavs 6-man rotation lead by LeBron and Delly actually won the year prior.

Boxers and MMA Fighters call themselves the GOAT all the time, it’s a completely different mentality and sport, you need to believe you’re the greatest when you’re locked inside a cage against the best fighters in the world who are trying to physically dismantle you.

When did you hear an NFL or NBA player call himself the GOAT? that’s for others to talk about you just never say that even if you believe it, I’m sure MJ and Brady believe they’re the GOATs but they’ll never say it out loud, it classless and self centered.
