The old players played in an era with a much more shallow talent pool. The NBA today is a world game where kids are being ranked and groomed from Elementary School age to make it to the league.

The athleticism and skill level are leaps and bounds better than it was was 25 or 30 years ago.

This is the era of the best shooters of All-time, the best ball handlers of All-time, 7ft wing players with guard ball handling and shooting ability.

The post Jordan era has produced Dirk, Manu, Tony Parker, Giannis, Embid etc. International stars.

This has been the most skilled era of Basketball ever and LeBron has been the best player of this era for at least 12 years.

I could have said that.

Kobe is far superior to anything the Queen has done.

Kobe had to carry Shaqs lazy arse to a couple ships.

Give me prime mamba all day, week, season.

This is where the confusion occurs. You compare players vs their peers for best player. You compare all time for skill sets.

In every single Lebron thread one side looks and comes off as complete morons.


And it's never Lebron's side.


Y'all are SO wrong that just citing y'all's opinions in these threads is a good argument as to why Lebron is the GOAT.

I mean, y'all are DUMB

Kobe is the GOAT of LA.

How can Lebron be the GOAT if he isn't even the GOAT of the Lakers?

Kobe won ships when Cleveland had superior records while losing to Orlando and Boston!!

Believe me, it hasn't been difficult.

Didn't even mention the 3-1 comeback.

Leading a finals series against a top 5 team all time in points rebounds assists blocks and steals.

What he did to Boston in game 6 in the garden.

etc..


The man is simply the best basketball player of all time.

Kobe stayed on Shaq's lazy arse while Shaq still had it.

D-Wade carried Shaq to a ring.

Quite frankly, Lebron IS the reason this debate continues.

Fans of old NBA do not like bitches. Even Jordan haters back in the day...feared and respected him because he has never been a bitch.


If LBJ weren't so much of a bitch, then more older fans would probably concede at least a little.

And all the Lebron fanbois are bitches.

All Hail Lebron....King of The Bitches.

Magic is definitely ahead of him.


Now if someone would just show me some video of Magic having that Kobe/MJ dawg in him.

Because I definitely have some video of Magic being an epic choker..

Jordan, Wilt, Magic, Shaq and Kobe all have a pretty good resume

don’t think you get it. In fact I know you don’t. Even if hardwn don’t win MVP it will be top 2 in MVP four of five years. A five year run that only a handful of players ever can match. Kinda like this year’s offensive output. Truly one of the greatest players of all time.



How great Boom? Top 30?

In context with this thread, citing my opinions would not help your argument, if you cited my sig quote, maybe it does but it doesn’t tell you why

You serious? If someone thinks Kobe is a better player than LeBron, I cannot take their basketball opinion seriously.

What does Kobe do better on a basketball court?
