How will you remember him in 20 years?

>>77806957
really overrated

its not like hes the best scorer or defender

at anytime there are 2-3 guys just as good as him playing

>>77807027
Yeah? How many of those guys have been as covered as LeBron in the media? How many of those guys have been compared to MJ?

Exactly

The case in point for great players losing to great teams.

3-5

GOAT. Play style is immensely memorable

He made basketball interesting again

probably the same way people remember larry bird, who also only has 3 rings and a shotty career afterwards and only made the dream team out of pandering, he was almost 40 and a bad back and hardly played

>>77807697

nigga what the fuck? he played in the worse conference and worse division within that conference every year in cleveleand based on win/loss, stacked up 60 wins every year then beat those same sorry teams (some years actual sub-500 teams made the 8 and 7 spots) in the playoffs then when he played an actual good team at or near 600 win percentage they got beat every time

acted like boston some how was "unfair" because they were the only western caliber team in the east after 2008, yet in 2009 when KG was hurt and THEY BEAT THE CELTICS he couldnt even beat the magic the next round, 1 of their 2 wins was the half court shot at the end of the game, the Magic then went on to get spanked by the lakers

the we know what happened from there

Pretty much. Talent wise he's unmatched by anyone of his generation but he vanishes when his team really needs him. That being said, Lebron is way less of a choker than Messi.

Top 2.

>>77814902
Messi gets shat on by Dortmund or Juventus every year

One of the best players of all time that simply just didn't have the killer instinct to make him GOAT.

It's hard to compare him to anyone other than the top 5 greats like Jordan and Magic. He has been so singularly dominant for the past decade, it's amazing how much the rest of the league has bent to him.

Until the finals. And he crumbles. And that will always be the penned final words to his legacy. A man that just couldn't cut it in the final seconds, not unless all odd were in his favor.

First it was Kobe and Duncan, then Kobe and Dirk, then KD and Kobe, then KD and Steph, now KD, Kawhi, Steph, Westbrook, and Giannis. Soon Westbrook, Giannis, Kyrie, Steph, KD, Kawhi, KAT, Porzingis, and Embiid/Simmons will be just as good or better.

That really only happened once but people still pretend like its a thing. Seriously. People like to pretend Kobe is mentally tougher but the stats say otherwise. Kobe just liked to hog the ball more.

Really, the only thing that has ever held Lebron back was that he lacked a coach of his calibre at any level of play. Compared to some of the greats and the legendary names that have coached them, Lebron almost comes across as self-taught.

Best player of all time that had to play in the toughest era of all time.

Imagine beating the greatest freakshow team of all time, a team that was straight up money-ball put together by tech guys specifically to beat LeBron in the finals, when they're up 3-1 on you. Imagine that. That happened.

GOAT.

>>77815205
Anybody who has listened to both Kobe and LeBron talk about anything or watched them play would recognize Kobe is infinitely more mentally tough and intelligent.

>>77815237

They both are intelligent, Kobe just comes across as more aggressive publicly. It would actually be interesting if both went into coaching after.

>>77815286
>They both are intelligent

LeBron is aggressively stupid. He comes across like a spoiled prince who has never had to use his wits for anything in his life and everybody laughs at his jokes.

Jesus there are so many fucking casuals on this board that don't even deserve (you's)

Lebron is easily the best player since Jordan and would dominate any era.

>>77815344
>LeBron is aggressively stupid. He comes across like a spoiled prince who has never had to use his wits for anything in his life and everybody laughs at his jokes.
You just sound salty as fuck for some dumb reason. The dude earned everything but his natural talent (which he still had to cultivate and grow) and had to go through some battles. Some he lost, some he won. He's one of the best players to play the sport and will be remembered as such.

>>77815344
Kek you're a straight up retard. LeBron is one of the most intelligent players in NBA history, on and off the court.

You gave me an idea to find out what would happen if pussy actually played at West. I thought it would be bad for him but it's actually even worse than I ever imagined. Anyway, save this to btfo lebronfags without wasting time:
>missed playoffs in first two seasons
>turned out not to be EAST baby in reg season, weak WinRate drop because there's enough bums at West too
>but sure as shit happy that he was not there, because 5-6 western teams are always in TOP 8 (excl. lelbron team)
>never had best record vs best conference while in cleveland (personally cucked by boston in 2007 TWO TIMES when east was stronger)
>lost playoffs of first season in which he was beating top8 teams to dwight, who later got schooled by kobe so you make the conclusions
>won just 2 championships out of 5 times being on conf. irrelevant contender team, despite always enjoying easy ride through lEast trash teams
>of those 2 wins, one was lockout season the other was 1-3 comeback so basically lucky+refballed hard both times
>was break even vs top8 teams in his best season 2012-13, only season in whole career where he was on team with best record vs better conference
>changed team two times to have opportunity to neglect stupid management/coaching and still only managed 56% 0.5pts difference vs TOP8 teams outside of his team
>so basically this goat is breakeven vs 1/3 of best teams in the league throughout his career, despite enjoying short travel and "1st quarter it's over" type game vs beasts of the east
>advantages he gains through 4-0ing some sub50 team in 1st 2nd rounds are unmeasurable
So, do you understand that there's a real possibility that this motherfucker wouldn't even sniff finals if he was playing for some Cleveland tier shit like Kangs @ WEST his whole career and had to battle Spurs, Mavs and other TOP 8 regulars in every third game? And west is so top heavy that he would run into dwight type mismatch every 1st 2nd round. GOAT LMFAO

Oh and I didn't know the refs blocked Iguodala and shot the series winning 3

he's the greatest ever, just didn't have the benefit of the watered down post expansion era like Jordan.

>>77827740

All the old school players say they would have fought LeBron for that one. If you don't take a swing at a man for doing that to you, you're an absolute cuck.

Nah he loves it. Says it's flattering because it shows how much the rest of the league is on his nuts and how much the warriors would rather keep him.

Anybody who knows anything about basketball will say he's the best all around player of all time. MJ is still the greatest despite that.

But besides Oscar Robertson, there has never been anyone with a complete game like LeBron. He's whiny and hateable. Millennial contrarian faggots (like the one's on spuh) will shit on his legacy but ultimately that doesn't mean anything because neckbeards are irrelevant to sports history.
