re: Floppy McFloppersin...Don’t ever compare Lebron to Jordan again

Bc when one person ( LeBron ) wants to be considered the best and calls himself "King James" before he plays a game in the NBA, he will get criticized more. Jokic does not care about being called the greatest. LeBron does. Everything he does is about himself.

He did nothing to correct that or say he does not want that moniker. You keep making excuses for him. They are weak excuses.

Damn sniper got him

If you cant see Lebron's greatness that's because you are lying to yourself.

I hate Lebron and i hate even more that you people make me defend him.

What is LeBron claim? To flop? To go and build "super teams" with other free agents? To lose more championships than Jordan?

21x all star, has never gotten in serious trouble despite being in the limelight since he was 15, revolutionized the player/agent game, 20x all nba, 4x NBA champion. Contracts and TV rights have exploded.

On top of that he has:
- the most points ever
- the 4th most assists ever
- the 25th most rebounds ever
- the 6th most steals ever

Sure you can hate Lebron because of the super team thing. He plays in a more competitive and talented NBA than ever. The talent pool in general is SO much deeper now. His career coincided with some of the greatest players of all time. Steph, Shaq, KD, Kobe, Duncan, Jokic, KG, Dirk, Giannis, Nash, Harden, Paul, Kidd, Kawhi, etc. The game has grown tremendously post Jordan, largely attributable to Lebron. The international market is infinitely better than it was in the 90s.

People do the "he's just been playing for a long time" thing but he's 40 years old and averaging 25/8/8 on 51/38/77 splits. He'd likely have a couple more MVPs if not for voter fatigue and the advanced metrics game leading to a more 3 pt/FT style of play.

You can hate everything about him and everything he stands for, but if you don't view him as a top 3 player of all time, you are simply uneducated about the game of basketball.

Also, Lebron went to Miami and made it about himself to form a super team. Jordan never won a title without a hall of famer. Sure the Bulls drafted Pippen, but it's the same shite.

So his options were:

A: Accept an objectively awesome nickname and use it to become the richest athlete of all time.

B: Reject the nickname so Brian in Abita Springs doesn't get annoyed about it 25 years later.

Shockingly, he chose option A

It went beyond that. He had "King James" embroidered into the leather seats of his Hummer as a teenager. WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. Before he had done anything whatsoever in the NBA.
