He is right he and Duncan.

kobe and Duncan are above lebron all time for sure. nobody cares about the banana boat era that lebron collected all of his bogus rings in. he never won in the 2000s so he has no seat at the goat table

Actually, it was right after Lebron was beaten by record amount in the Finals because he'd turned Bosh into a spot-up shooter and the Heat never reached the lofty ceiling that was expected

The Lakers of the early 2000s faced weaker competition in the Finals.

Yea they were facing 3 50+ win teams to get to that point, along with hand checking + zone defenses

[j3lademaster]

The Lakers of the early 2000s faced weaker competition in the Finals.why does that matter if they came out of the stronger conference? It's one thing if they came out of the east and only had to beat one quality team.

[SaintzFury13]

Yea they were facing 3 50+ win teams to get to that point, along with hand checking + zone defenses

I will never understand the "50 win team" argument. 50 win teams look impressive on paper but there's far more to it than that. The 2015 Atlanta Hawks were a 60 win team and LeBron's Cavaliers swept them without his two best teammates playing. I don't care how many games those teams won in the regular season. Did they have legitimate playoff experience? Did they match up well with the Lakers? 50 wins means jack shit if the team still has no legitimate chance of beating them.

[ShawkFactory]

Yea they were facing 3 50+ win teams to get to that point, along with hand checking + zone defenses
Just so we’re clear...you do understand that the hand-checking benefited the Lakers as well, right?

Trying to say that it’s more impressive for a team to win in a league with different rules..that also applied to them :lol

[SaintzFury13]

Why is everyone still trying to argue against the case being made here when the answer is obvious: these comments were made right after LeBron left Miami. Wade and Bosh were butthurt, that’s literally all there is to it.

[steezy]

Just so we’re clear...you do understand that the hand-checking benefited the Lakers as well, right?

Trying to say that it’s more impressive for a team to win in a league with different rules..that also applied to them :lol

Yes it's more impressive historically when looking back at players who won during that era. Guard averaging 30/7/7 from 2000-2005 against Spurs defense is more impressive than 30/7/7 in 2020. Not difficult to get what I'm alluding to here.

Indication of playoff difficulty since 50-win teams as a benchmark has been around forever. Like when boxers have a stat showing all their opponent's combined record. It's not perfect, but beating multiple 50 win teams in the playoffs will always be a legit achievement. Especially if they happen to be the early 2000 Spurs and Kings year after year

Wade makes a good point because younger fans don't have the perspective of having watched the true GOAT in real time so their judgement is suspect as best, I could see how younger fans would think James is the GOAT, but it would be out of ignorance. Meanwhile, polls of NBA fans still today consistently have MJ winning by landslide the GOAT debate, even amongst younger fans, though not as decisively as with older fans as I explained earlier...

Don't know if this was discussed but I found this article fascinating...

Fascinating in that MJ hasn't played a relevant game in 25 years yet he is easily viewed as more influential than James or any other current or past great of the last 20 some odd years, that's insane in this "what have you done for me recently" era.

he has the biggest brand of shoe in sports so it's not exactly shocking. the poll was also 50 current and former players. so very small sample of athletes only. mj could post on social media and no one would give a shit. lebron posts and there's multiple articles about it so not sure i agree with the polling. i don't really care though...has nothing to do with who played the gm at a higher level.

His brand of shoes are the biggest precisely because his name/likeness are on it, not the other way around. I wouldn't quite brag about LeBron's tweets either, he's a cringey SJW of the highest order...and we'll agree to disagree on who the better player was, having seen both their careers in real time, MJ is absolutely the superior player, you are welcome to have a different opinion of course, you would just be wrong. :cheers:

LeBron plays in a no defense era so his numbers will look gaudy without context. Lol, MJ won DPOY, you can just forget that will ever happen with LBJ. LeBron also has never dominated the league, hasn't ever led a dynasty even though he's your GOAT (some GOAT). :lol He has never had an aura of invincibility unlike Mike and the last player I can remember having that was Shaq early 2000s...

There is no nostalgia bias bro, I can easily accuse you of recency bias as well. I saw both their primes, as God is my witness, there is no doubt MJ was just the flat out better player and leader. There are way too many players who played in Mike's and LeBron's era who side with MJ for it to be just shrugged off as "nostalgia", most notably Ray Ray :confusedshrug:

[Johnny32]

There are way too many players who played in Mike's and LeBron's era who side with MJ for it to be just shrugged off as "nostalgia", most notably Ray Ray

but i'll play his he said/she said tard game anyway.

Gary Payton: “If you ask me who’s a better all-around basketball player? LeBron James by far … Two totally different basketball players. Jordan was a guy that he was going to make big shots. He’s going to take the ball every time and shoot it every time he has to. I think LeBron is an all-around basketball player.”

Shaq: “I think LeBron is looking to tie Kobe and tie Jordan with championships. If he tied Mike, I think people will probably lean a little bit more towards LeBron being the best player in the world.”

Allen Iverson: “As much as I love Michael Jordan, like, dawg, man, LeBron James is the one, dawg. He the one, man. That mother f*****r is the one, man.”

Bill Laimbeer: “I’m very vocal. I think LeBron is the best player that’s every played the game. He’s 6-foot-8, 285 pounds, runs like the wind and jumps out of the gym, and more importantly, when he came in the league, from day one, he knew how to involve his teammates to win. And that’s something that Jordan had to learn for a long time.”

Chris Webber: “Magic was, to me, one of the greatest players that you wanted to play with because of his skillset, along with [Steve] Nash, because they got you involved. Jordan came in and the whole narrative changed that you have to be this killer, you have to do it yourself—six-time Defensive Player of the Year, you have to check everyone. When LeBron came in passing…people questioned his heart and soul. What I love about LeBron is that he didn’t change his personality, and if kids emulate him they’ll have to be a team player. Period. So I put him as probably—I don’t like saying this over Magic—but the greatest team player of all time. By far.”

Tracy McGrady: “I think if you want to start a team, I’m going to go with LeBron because of him being able to take lesser talent and elevate those guys… Because of his pass-first mentality, being able to elevate his team in terms of their style of play. Mike is going out there trying to get 30 and 40 points. He’s not looking to make his team better.”

Gilbert Arenas: “The reason I feel LeBron is the GOAT is because during pressure times he still makes the actual right decision versus what us fans and the public wants him to do. That’s what separates him from Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. If you give Jordan and Kobe those Cavs teams, they would not have made it to the playoffs, they would not have made it to the championship because Jordan would have averaged 60 and said the ‘hell with it’.”

Metta World Peace: “@KingJames is the goat. Never thought I would say that over my brother 24 and my favorite mj. I was an Allstar in mj Jersey 23. I changed my number for one season to honor a legend. But the King is the greatest athlete to ever touch this galaxy. Better than the aliens too”

Cedric Maxwell: “LeBron James is the GOAT now. He’s the GOAT because, not only on the basketball side, but social issues: He’s been involved in every social issue that we look at.”

[TheMan]

That's interesting because Shaq has repeatedly called MJ the GOAT and also his quote was if LBJ tied MJ in rings, which isn't gonna happen. GP in this video calls MJ the GOAT. Anyways, I can list more than double the players you listed who call Mike the GOAT, including DWade who played with LBJ. And remember, a true king doesn't go around touting himself one :cheers:

Yes. Curry had the #1 selling jersey every year from 15-18 until Bran went to LA and Steph's been more popular with the younger audience since 2015 and is far more relatable. You can cope with any of the metrics you want but best believe that Steph is by far the most popular player of his era.

Lebron played with Shaq who won league mvp and 3 finals mvp's and lost in round 2. Lebron played with Peak Duncan who had won 2 league mvp's and 3 finals mvp's and won bronze medal. Lebron played with Peak Wade who won finals mvp and got outplayed by Jason Terry. Lebron played with Derrick Rose who won mvp under age 30 which was the same as Kevin Durant who won mvp under 30 while both were on Golden State and Cleveland. Lebron played with mulitple PER leaders as well and now Russell Westbrook a league mvp winner and more triple doubles than Oscar Robertson. Yet despite all of that Lebron lost with all of them.

He has peak Anthony Davis, the best player on the 2020 squad and the reason the Lakers did anything as the 2019 Lakers missed the playoffs and 2021 Lakers lost in round 1 when AD wasn't around. He has Prime Melo who won a scoring title and all time leader in scoring for the Olympics. He has Dwight Howard a 3x DPOY and a guy who beat Lebron without HCA. He has Westbrook who is the modern day Oscar Robertson and also won league mvp along with average a Triple Double 4 years in a row. He also has Rondo who is a hall of famer.

Why didn't he play it against Dwight Howard in 2009 when Dwight was dominating http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?459570-How-is-it-even-possible-to-lose-to-Dwight-Howard-in-a-series-with-HCA/page10? Or against Duncan or KG or Dirk? Why did he run away from KD a guy at his position?

Why didn't he do **** against Booker in the playoffs as well?

Lebron won bronze medal twice and lost with HCA 3x. Jordan only won gold medal and never lost with HCA. Prove me wrong!

Difference between Lebron and Tmac?
http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?494830-Difference-between-Lebron-and-Tmac
Both 0-2 with HCA against 50+ win teams until they joined forces with someone who won as the man. Also won bronze medals.

Tmac lost to Utah in 2007 while Lebron was losing to a career loser in Dwight Howard and also Carlos Arroyo in the Olympics with peak Tim Duncan on his squad despite playing more minutes than Hakeem even played on the 1996 Olympic team.
