LeBron can call himself GOAT and it

That’s how everyone would react.


This is why Kobe never said it. He knew he’ll get laughed out of the building.


Heck, he’s lucky if people consider him Top 10 all time. Anything higher is a stretch

Find me another great calling themselves the GOAT.

Only Bran is delusional and insecure enough to say something like that.

Debate amongst who, media? :biggums:

How anyone thinks this guy is the GOAT is legit beyond any reasonable logic.

Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather

An illiterate moronic buffoon who cowardly hides behind league rules and technicalities.

Definitely sounds like he is worthy of our LeGOAT :rockon:

[Dray n Klay]

The thing is.. Jordan KNOWS 1-9 is a thing


That’s why he never called himself GOAT



It would be foolish for MJ to say “I’m the GOAT” when someone can just bring up 1-9



I think MJ had the self awareness to know 90% of his career is attributed to being lucky enough to play with Phil Jackson and Pippen, so he knows his GOAT argument falls out the window

[superduper]

Imagine having to go through so many mental gymnastics to convince yourself of something. Having to move multiple goal posts to make your delusion a reality.

Well.. there can only be 1 GOAT in each sport.


So it makes sense only 1 guy in b-ball calls themselves GOAT


LeBron is the only one who fits the GOAT criteria

I don't think MJ has ever publicly said it either. Neither did Magic or Bird in their day, neither has Kareem. Lebron seems to be the only one who feels the need to speak this into the atmosphere.

Kareem alludes to it and beats around the bush about it constantly.
Wilt, because ofcourse.
MJ, because humility is not common in psychopaths.

MJ-
Said there is no such thing as overall GOAT because it is impossible to compare between eras
I'm sure that's what MJ says when he's talking with his buds. "I'm not GOAT you guys. You see it's not possible to compare all the great players we've had in the league across eras". He also never swears btw. :lol

[Phoenix]

The problem with your idiotic logic is that nobody declared MJ the GOAT because of one specific feat. It was the total body of work. It's only morons like you who come along and say 'if Lebron does this, he's GOAT'. That's never been the way these things were discussed until the birth of the internet giving loons like you a voice.

"I'm the GOAT because I beat 90's toughest Jeff Hornacek and Byron Russell"

So now you're resorting to pure fairytale myths that you made up in your head as opposed to what he actual said in public on camera.

I see.

[clutchinho]

lol at thinking Kobe is crass and uneducated enough to anoint himself the goat out of thin air. Not to mention you play a team sport dumb ass, it's the height of bad taste to proclaim yourself as anything on the back of a title that the team won

Im sure plenty would actually. Are you saying Kobe is the GOAT 1v1 player?

I'm saying there isn't anyone more definitively skilled.

Same goes for a 1-on-1.

[Trollsmasher]

yep

there is a reason all those Jordan stans on national TV are having meltdowns as we speak

it wouldn't even be a talking point if Kobe said something like that:lol

[PistonsFan#21]

Who's better than him 1 on 1?

MJ easily, Kevin Durant, most prime skilled big men like Shaq, Hakeem, etc...

[BigShotBob]

1 on 1 implies same or similar position. You might as well say Deandre Jordan is a better 1 on 1 player than KD too.

MJ is the only player that comes close, and even MJ himself admitted that Kobe could beat him.

[Mr. Jabbar]

and who the royal fvck said lebron was legit debate??? gtfoh :lol

dude isnt even the best player of the decade

Not it doesnt. Unless you limit your criteria to ''GOAT 1v1 player among 6'6'' shooting guards''

Deandre Jordan is not even close to being a challenge to Durant 1v1 :wtf:
Hes not overwhelmingly taller, stronger or skilled enough.

And Kobe doesn't beat MJ either, no matter what he says

[G0ATbe]

How is Mayweather being the GOAT funny? He's undefeated like MJ? :confusedshrug:

James Harden doesnt have multiple titles while always coming out victorious on the biggest stage. Actually Floyd never had a choke job in his professional career

[RealSkipBayless]

MJ carries himself like a true goat. Tells other people to not overlook the people who played before him and its not up to him. People can see and decide that for themselves which has concluded that MJ is the GOAT by fans, players, former players, coaches, and even the stat geeks typing articles.

He also doesnt play a sport where the winner is decided by judges. When Tarden gets his ass beat, he loses.

Mayweather just has to dodge and move for an hour and the judges will call it for him because an undefeated champ is highly marketable :facepalm

[PistonsFan#21]

You're definitely trolling me.

Which part seems like trolling to you? Are you saying that Deandre is overwhelmingly taller? Or are you seriously arguing that Deandre Jordan can beat Kevin Durant in a 1v1? :lol

We are strictly talking 1v1 here, no pick and rolls with Luka or CP3 to lob the ball to Deandre under the basket

Most people that say that only watched Floyd fight once he was past his prime and his mindset changed to winning fights with the minimum risk and damage which i can understand why its not entertaining to casual fans. I can also link to some of his younger fights where he would just stand in the middle of the ring and trade punches without backing down.

Literally most of his fights still finished with him winning by KO or ref stoppage.

theres no way to imagine kobe being that insecure and stupid.. of course it wouldnt go over well.. how did it go for lebron.. literally everyone turned on him for it except nick wright


missing the playoffs in his first season out west after making 8 straight finals out east should realistically kill lebrons legacy and humble lebron for once
