Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James gave Cristiano Ronaldo the respect and acknowledgement he deserves despite Portugal’s heartbreaking World Cup exit in Qatar.

On Sunday, Ronaldo broke his silence on the tragic end of Portugal’s 2022 World Cup run, taking to Instagram to share his pain and regrets that they weren’t able to go the distance after losing to Morocco in the quarterfinals. The 37-year-old striker said that winning the competition has always been his “biggest and most ambitious dream,” unfortunately, he wasn’t able to fulfill it.

Despite the loss, CR7 opted not to start the finger-pointing and instead emphasized his love for the national team. There were a lot of questions why Ronaldo didn’t start against Morocco, with his partner Georgina Rodriguez even lashing out at manager Fernando Santos. However, the veteran scorer clearly didn’t want to make it a bigger issue.

“There’s no point in reacting hot-headed. I just want everyone to know that a lot has been said, a lot was written, a lot was speculated, but my dedication to Portugal didn’t change even for a second. I was always just one [person] fighting for everyone’s goal and I would never turn my back against my mates and my country,” Ronaldo wrote on his Instagram post.

After seeing Cristiano Ronaldo’s message, LeBron James couldn’t help but comment. He kept his response simple, calling the former Real Madrid superstar a “LEGEND.”

Messi needs his Pippen and Rodman to win trophies in Iniesta and Xavi. Now he's got Mbappé and Neymar.
Before that Suarez and Neymar.

By your stupid logic Messi who's the goat of football = LeBron right?

[1987_Lakers]

Ronaldo = Kobe - Mostly known as a scorer/

Messi = LeBron - Very versatile player with great passing skills & a great scorer as well. Always looks for the best play possible.

And pretty much everyone ranks Messi ahead of Ronaldo.

I dont think a guy like kobe has an equal in soccer. you would have to go to football and use a guy like deion sanders or baseball with Willie mays

lebron is like bonds/mcgwire or Lance armstrong

sorry it's been a while. if you're not a roid fan and just some dumb butthurt jordan stan I should remind you that I have jordan as the goat. 1 on 1 however is a totally different sport and there are superior guys than him like kobe, tmac, Durant to name a few. what makes jordan the best ever is his nearly flawless career and abundance of team accomplishments mixed with personal accolades. that plus his amazing athleticism and big hands in an era that had toughness and the most impact on society.

kobe 1 on 1 rips him a new asshole though. that's just what kobe does best and he has more moves/counters than MJ and takes it more seriously.

kobes more ferocious as well and more gritty. he would probly elbow MJ in the back of the head while spinning for a post hook or going for a rebound

What does that have to do with him going 1-9 without Pippen in the playoffs?

I rank Ronaldo over Messi, but have LeBron over Kobe.

no my friend they lost couse Kobes ego is that big.
dude took 113 shots in the 2004 Finals and averaged 22 points. Shaq only took 84 shots and averaged 26 points.
he wanted so much FMVP that chucked that series away its that simple

"We knew there was no way we could stop Shaq straight-up" "But what’s going to happen is Mr. Bryant is going to get a little discouraged with getting no touches and now the second half comes around…now he’s pressing. He’s going to start coming down and just breaking the offense." - Chauncey Billups Kobe took 29 more shots than Shaq in the series despite Shaq averaging 27 PPG on 62 TS%. Kobe shot 38% in the series.

“I mean, they simply outplayed us. Karl [Malone] was hurt in that series. And I think Kobe selfishly wanted MVP,” said Rush. “I think that we were favored by everybody to win the series you know, and at the time Shaq had the first three Finals MVP’s. So I think Kobe had the mindset with that as the primary focus, but I think he was really itching to get that MVP – and we got caught off guard by a better team.”

Shaq responds to Kobe's comment about Shaq's work ethic: U woulda had 12 if you passed the ball more especially in the finals against the Pistons #facts. You don't get statues by not working hard.

i think even Kobe admited that this one is on him or smth like that
where is so much more..

its to show that jordan right from the start only needed one other guy to compete against a hoard of legends on superteams

[90sgoat]

Lebron is more like Kylian Mbape, all power and athleticism.

Both Ronaldo and Messi are way more skilled.

I would say Kobe is more like Ronaldo and Messi is more like Luka.

Messi didn't switch teams. He didn't go to Germany in 2014, France in 2018 to win.

That’s just the kind of backstabbing rat Lebron is. Imagine if there were an equivalent of FIFA World Cup in basketball where there are multiple powerhouse countries. Lebron would switch citizenship every four years just to ring chase :facepalm
