i don't think that's the issue. I actually like LeBron. It's the ones proclaiming him GOAT. Clearly most of you younger folks "grew up" watching LeBron, so you identify with his "greatness" and want to be a "witness". Those who "witnessed" watching Bill Russell win 11 titles in 13 years, or seeing Wilt scoree 100 points, with no 3 point line...or watching Magic go to the finals 9 times, winning 5, Kareem, the competitive grit of Larry Bird, or Michael Jordan who would will himself and his team to greatness. Then there's Kobe who won 5 titles and seemed poised to assume GOAT mantle. There's always another guy. Being a huge Spurs fan, i realize as great as David Robinson was, he wasn't the greatest center of all time. As good a coach as Pop is, he's not the GOAT. LeBron is one of the greatest, perhaps of this era. To me, Bill Russell is the GOAT. He changed the game. He made the Celtics a dynasty...i dont believe any athlete in any sport will replicate what he did...you may disagree, but im not offended by it. if u wanna believe LeBron is the GOAT, more power to you. There's a long list of guys out there who might disagree
