shel, you think lnchbox will come in here saying everyone on this board had Lebron top 5 all time again?

Trump and Lebron are the two most powerful men in the world based on the raw irrational emotion they can elicit from so called men

And first in turnovers….by a wide margin. With stats, you can slice and serve it how you want.

Chris Bosh blodd clot issues caused him to retire. Otherwise the Heat would’ve been in the playoffs.

Bosh played 44 games that year.

But you’re faulting Jordan because Pippen was in his prime when Jordan retired.

I mean that’s pretty consistent to what I’ve said for years.

The longevity of modern players certainly needs to be considered, how they are doing it, what’s going into their bodies.

The points thing-that’s the 3 point era. At the time of the passing of KAJ, LeBron would have 6k less points than Kareem had he played in the same era.
Also, Karl Malone was 2 all time when he retired, so that doesn’t mean as much.

I don’t have LeBron over 7-8 guys for sure. A few others can swing either way.

But I don’t think calling someone a top 10 guy is insulting. Shaq is a top 10 guy.

Might be MJ. People act like he didn’t only win 1 series ever without Pippen…

Ppl act like there’s no debate to him being Goat, when you can debate a few players as goat.

MJ is one of those players, so is LeBron though… So is Kareem… So is wilt…

Lebron is absolutely the second best player ever.

Curry has 4 championships and was finals MVP 1 time. Great player. You can fairly say he changed the game but if you’re starting a team you pick lebron.

I'll interrupt the Lebron argument taking place for the 38,000 consecutive day to say that it's actually a two man race between Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul.

Kawhi is treated like he's the most elite of the elite, but he's had really two seasons like that in his career. He also leads the league in load management. He has extracted an astonishing amount out of that one season in Toronto. If that game 7 shot against Philly doesn't miraculously fall, no way he gets the pub he's gotten since.

Chris Paul is good, but post-knee injury, people have spent the last 13 years pretending like he's still the same guy. He's good, great even. He can't take over games consistently in playoff series since the knee injury and people overvalue his supposed intangibles to compensate for his diminished game (he's also spent most of his career berating teammates and driving them away, so his intangibles are questionable at best). Pre-knee injury, on a crazy trajectory for his career. Post-knee injury, a very good NBA player. Net result, vastly overrated.

Chris Paul is also a dirty player who hid from crunch time against the Spurs in 08

It’s not a negative but it’s an argument in bad faith if you believe this generation doesn’t have so many more advantages in sports science to extend their careers, training, and sheer money behind them.

Sure but efficiency stats also back Lebron pretty heavily. Not over MJ, but over pretty much anyone else in combination with his counting stats.

He’s a great player. Top 10 for sure.

Top 3 for sure.

MJ, Lebron, and Kareem.


Then everyone else.
