Lebron has had the HARDEST road of all

[StrongLurk]

MJ - Grew up with two responsible/middle-class parents and had multiple siblings
Kareem - Grew up with two responsible/middle-class parents
Kobe - Dad was an NBA player
Shaq - Born into tough circumstances but quickly had a military stepdad jump in and raise Shaq/siblings along with his mom
Curry - Dad was an NBA player
Magic - Grew up with two normal parents
Duncan - Grew up with two responsible/middle-class parents and had multiple siblings

Lebron - born to a crackhead mom at 16 years old, grew up in pure poverty surrounded by crime, no siblings, yet he reached the top of the mountain. No one overcame their upbringing more than Lebron.

MJ's dad made him work hard - that's how he first stuck his tongue out like that - it was while working hard on the engine of a car.. He was copying his Dad.. MJ's dad worked him to the bone.

Otoh, Lebron was moved into the coach's house at 10 years old and allowed to play video games and eat lolly-pops.. When he wasn't lounging and playing video games, he was eating filet mignon every morning and night for strength...

After a coddled teenage years, Lebron was gifted 100 million before he ever dribbled a basketball, so he had generational wealth and no pressure to fail.. This is contrary to MJ, who needed to prove he was GOAT to get generational money... In the 80's, a good salary was 2 million and it was barely 1 million after-tax, so superstars were never "out of the woods" - it wasn't hard to go broke, so guys fought much harder for the scraps they got (compared to today where bums get 100 million on the regular).

After a coddled childhood and 100 million at 17 years old, Lebron was allowed to pick his teammates and team up with rivals and opposing franchise players.. This was after failing for 7 years with a 2x all-star center, all-star guard, great defenses and 22/5/5 first-team defender.. In contrast to Lebron being gifted many all-star teammates, MJ was given a 23-year old rookie that averaged 7.9 ppg and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

Ultimately, despite never reaching goat standards like 3-peats, 70 wins, 6 chips, or winning with "normal" rosters, Lebron is gifted a goat debate by the fraudulent media, while MJ's legacy is chipped away at by taggers.

Forgot to add , that Lebron could of played Pro ball at high school age , because his genetics created him the perfect NBA body.
