A Larry Bird with no back injury would be ranked higher.

Nope.
Jordan, Bird and Magic are better than this clown.

No.
The 80s/90s was more brutal defensively than today.

Honestly it would be fun to see Bill Laimbeer or Rick Mahorn put LeBron on his arse a couple of times. If nothing else, just to see his reaction to the physical style as opposed to what he’s used to in the modern NBA.

Intergenerational comparisons are just fodder for sports forums and conversation.
While LeBron has had the advantage of modern workouts/nutrition and other science, he is far too big and strong to act like he would have been tossed around in the 80/90s. Players are products of their era and had he played in a defense-forward league, he could have easily adapted to it. This is magnified by his versatility and being able to play anywhere on the floor which would have produced issues with the defensive play of that era.
It is fine to not like LeBron, but letting it cloud your judgment of him as a player is pure emotion. I don't think he is the GOAT but suggesting he isn't even close to the conversation is idiotic.
I still think Jordon was the best I have ever seen play. His big advantage is he had no weaknesses to exploit, unless they decided to strictly call traveling. He also benefited from some of the best teams ever assembled. The role players on the core Jordon Bulls teams fit together like a puzzle with no gaps, little overlap, and an ability to keep their ego in check for the most part. As an example, how often do you find a forward who only cares about rebounding and defense with zero fricks given about scoring?

He wouldn't have the mental toughness to hang with them.

LeFlop plays the gane to compile numbers and chase what he can never obtain.

I think the consistency and longevity alone puts him past all of those guys. All MJ has left is "greater at his peak" arguments.

This all day. Yeah, the dude might be arguably the second best player of all time, but you can't deny this. He is one dumb mother fricker.

Pu-lese! Enough of this gifted idiot who happens to be a basketball player.
Wish he will go away soon like the horse and buggy!
He's a racist and has shown his true colors to every American, especially the veterans who signed blank checks to this country with their lives at risk, to protect and defend this great country.
It's assholes like Lebron that should've been born in a turd world country.

If Lebron wouldn't have started playing pro at age 18 and played in 6 billion games, his average per game starts are not that impressive.
Um, this is a terrible argument. I just had ChatGPT run his averages age 21-34 (what I think we'd all consider a traditional career arc in the Jordan era)

I am convinced LeBron would have dominated more than Jordan in the 80/90s.
I don't think any rational basketball fan would argue Lebron would put up worse stats in the 80s/90s due to their inferior defensive schemes.
Lebron eats up isos and they were forced to primarily iso with the illegal defense rules.

Ignoring how this is more myth than reality, Lebron is bigger than pretty much anyone other than a handful of guys (4s and 5s who couldn't guard him anyway)
