When did you find out that LeBron James is the GOAT?

[lebronlover69]

LeBron James became the best player in the NBA in 07-09 range. I had him in the top 10 GOAT list at this time
When he won the 2 rings with Miami Heat, he became top 3 GOAT
I think 2016 was when he became the undisputed GOAt, single handedly coming back from a 3-1 deficit against a 73-9 superteam (Who are compared to the Prime Bulls and even the Dream Team) to win Cavaliers a championship after 52 long years

His legacy as the GOAT was cemented then. Everything else he achieved after was just the icing on the cake. When he surpasses Kareem's record, he would possibly be the greatest athlete in history of sports.

I've been going back and forth between him and MJ but right now I have LeBron number 1

WAY better longevity
Equal peak
More overall accomplishments
Played in an era with more talent

When his career ended and I was able to look at his complete body of work and compare it with Michael’s.

Just from the eye test LeBron is in the conversation for GOAT. He is incredible, it’s him and MJ.

When you do a side by side comparison like that, you can see that it's not even close. Jordan blows hi out of the water.
