Assuming LeBron only gets #5, that means ESPN would underrate LeBron by 3 spots, he should really be Top 2 with MJ



Meanwhile ESPN was generous with Kobe's 12th ranking, as he should actually be 18-20.


Why did they skew the rankings this way? Why not just put LeBron at #2 and Kobe at #18 and be done with it? Where they pressured from Laker nation and the L.A media to put Kobe top 12??

its all about the fans. They overrated kobe to appease the kobe stans who would literally end their life like a ticking time bomb. Lebron is underrated mainly because he still has so much in his career to do and we haven't even seen the best of lebron.

major props to lebron :applause:

showing the world that an all-time great efficiency doesnt always lead to winning rings.

It's inspiration for those asian kids that graduate high school with a 4.5+ GPA but still end up going to Chico State

That's the way the world works


Some people are talented and work their whole lives, but don't catch a break to gain wealth



Meanwhile KardashianBe gets born into wealth and fame (rings) with no discernible skills outside of colluding.

There is more to basketball than just efficiency.

Agreed, cause raw efficiency is only one aspect of PER
