You've never even watched Anthony Davis. You are just going on about how good he is now because you want to discredit LeBron if the Lakers win the championships. You will basically be making post sucking Davis off all season long for this reason. You're pathetically transparent, bro. :lol

Ur just salty because lebron is maxed out with only 3 rings as the best player, 3 fmvp.. :facepalm

Yes, I'm super salty about a player I don't care about not winning more championships. Unlike you, I don't obsess over players.

[QUOTE=3ball]Yeah, ur salty alright... Salty117[/QUOTE]
Very clever. Did you think of that all by yourself? I don't know what's more pathetic with you LeBron haters, the fact that you obsess on a shitty message board about him or that you think anyone who doesn't is actually a fan. He's always bored me as a player, but none of that changes that he's one of the greatest of all time. I don't have to like him to see that, moron.
And again, YOU ARE A MIDDLE AGED MAN WHO SPENDS HIS FREE TIME OBSESSIVELY HATING A BASKETBALL PLAYER ON A SHITTY MESSAGE BOARD. Seek help.
Bruce i mean 3 Ball, where do you honestly have lebron ranked all-time?Give me a set number not a range
I honestly want to know
I doubt it with how the lakers are looking. Someone like Giannis will repeat, maybe even embiid or jokic taking the next step. I do agree ad could definitely be their best player next yr however

Despite myself, I'd love to hear the reasoning of how Durant (who won two championships on the most stacked team ever) is 10 and LeBron is 16. :oldlol: It's basically impossible to take you seriously when you have LeBron at 16. It's fine if you hate him, but when you post shit like this all it does is magnify how little you know about basketball and how pathetically biased you are. LeBron is going to always be considered a top 5 player of all time whether you like it or not. You also, literally, just made a post about how The Lakers now have two top 3 players in the league. You were including a soon to be 35 year old and 17 year veteran in there. So if he's top 3 now then in his prime he must have been the best player in the league for a decade? But he's only 16. You are laughably fukking stupid. :lol
It's also hilarious to have Kobe in your top 5 and not have Kareem in there. You are legitimately one of the dumbest posters on this board as you aren't even trolling...you are just this fukking stupid.
He ranks Wilt 2nd :oldlol:

There's exceptions to every rule.... Wilt's stats are so much better than everyone's in history that it's a justifiable exception
Ultimately, the 60's Celtics needed [U]ten[/U]-HOF teams to beat Wilt - literally - Russell had 8-9 HOF teammates on those championship teams, in an 8 team league!!.. :eek: .. that's the goat dynasty.. Pettit and Wilt notched wins against them though, and Pettit took them 7 in another year
[QUOTE=NBAGOAT]
Also others will point out others on the list so [B][COLOR="Navy"]I’ll only ask dr.j.[/COLOR][/B] Wat does he do better besides score in transition. Worse shooter even most likely. Superduo with McGinnis was an utter failure honestly. Only won a ring with his eras version of gs with a finals team with toney, Bobby Jones, Maurice cheeks adding moses losing very little

I could've flip-flopped lebron and Dr. J - they're both kind of suboptimal and lost with stacked squads.. needed shit tons of help, etc
But Dr. J was a comparable athlete to Lebron..... despite no modern training..... Zero weightlifting - ZERO... none of the stuff lebron has -
If Dr. J spent "millions" each year on his body like lebron does, his athleticism would've been otherwordly and goat easily - this is precisely why lebron once called Dr. J the goat

I was giving dr.j the benefit of the doubt with transition even though he’s great there. Lebron is a better passer shooter and defender. And by this logic shouldn’t wilt or Russell be easily the goats. They had comparable athleticism to other later great centers. Shouldn’t Oscar be like top 5-10 with his otherworldly stats, stellar athleticism for his era, and the Celtics needing 8 hofers(this is exaggeration btw to discredit Russell). Shouldn’t Kareem be like top 5 at least for his stats and athleticism too :oldlol:. Inconsistent as hell criteria
You do realize it’s easier to have 8 hofers in a 8 team league since the nba didn’t increase the number of all star or all-nba selections to match the increase in player pool. 8 hofers sounds crazy(this is exaggeration from u to discredit Russell btw) but even on .500 teams, wilt and Russell had like 2-3 hof teammates

Dr J, who won one NBA ring, as arguably the 4th best player on his team, is greater than lebron. Right.
Durant, who literally needed to join the league's best team to win a ring, a team that made the finals in 2015, 2016 and 2019 without him, is top 10?
As if we need any more incentive to completely disregard everything you post.
Where do you rank Pippen?
[QUOTE=Hey Yo]But I thought LeBron makes his teammates worse?[/QUOTE]
He turns them into play-finishers, which AD already is
Lebron has never teamed up with a player like AD that fits his narrow ball-dominant skill set perfectly.. it's scary as a 20-year laker-hater.. i literally hated the Lakers since they beat the blazers in 2000 when potty pippen let young whipper-snapper Kobe school the crap out of him
Anyway I digress
This is a great fit; one of the only great fits for lebron in the league.. great shooters like kyrie or durant would be a good fit too, but they aren't pure play-finishers like AD... And i'm aware that AD can iso too and has some skill, but he's gets assisted on 75% of his buckets - kyrie 25%... KD about 50%... Like, that's how much better a fit AD is

Lebron has teamed up with superstars THREE times now, compared to Durant's 1 time
And the Warriors weren't the best team in 2016 (lost the championshio) - infact, they were barely.500 in the Finals (7-6) until Durant made them unbeatable.. Then he got hurt and they went back to barely winning in the Finals again... So Durant is legit and proved his worth
Regarding Dr. J/Lebron, I could've flip-flopped them and put lebron ahead - they're both insane athletes, but kind of suboptimal skill-wise and lost with stacked squads.. needed shit tons of help, etc
And I just think Dr. J had zero modern training and zero weightlifting - yet Dr. J was a comparable athlete to Lebron.. probably a better natural athlete
If Dr. J spent "millions" each year on his body like lebron does, his athleticism would've been otherwordly and goat easily - this is precisely why lebron once called Dr. J the goat
And Pippen - he's comparable to Paul George, but worse scoring.. so idk, where does George rank all-time?.. maybe move Pippen up a few spots for winning rings with the goat, or maybe not.. depends on how you look at it

Generally, dominant wings need less help than dominant bigs
Shaq needed peak Kobe, Wade, and Penny to win Finals, while Kobe needed Pau... :confusedshrug:
Kareem won 6 rings with 8 all-star teammates (25 appearances), while Kobe won 5 rings with 4 all-star teammates (10 appearances)... Magic won 5 with 5 all-star teammates (20 appearances).. and Russell needed the most help of all - 7 HOF casts to win his rings
Dominant wings are simply more skilled, control the action more, and generally need less help - so I ranked guys like Kobe, Magic and Bird over Kareem/Shaq/Duncan/Russell..
And I rank Durant over Lebron for the same reason I ranked Dirk over Bron - he curb-stomped Bron... twice... :confusedshrug:.... Give Durant or Dirk a cast with Wade/Bosh and they 3-peat from 11-13', and in more dominant fashion than lebron's squeakers/bailouts.. heck, Dirk was making the Finals from the West with.... nobody.. his casts were complete trash

Actually, durant outplayed Lebron all 3 times they met in the Finals, significantly
He's better than Lebron, but simply didn't team up as much or stack the deck in a weak conference..
I just don't respect lebron's accomplishments because they required excess talent to cover up his weak teamwork style/skillset, and also required stacking the deck in a conference where Dwight was dragging weak casts to the Finals

Not at all.. Lebron can barely win with super-teams because he's only elite on-ball/harden-ball style.. that's nowhere near MJ.. I have to continuously point this out because media/fans have overrated lebron's WWE NBA career (the collusion, stacking the deck)
And regarding my rankings - I came around on Wilt and realized that he should be the lone exception to the "dominant wing > dominant big" rule that my rankings generally abide by

^^^ those rankings are barely different
I realized recently that dominant bigs generally need more help than dominant wings, hence the slight ranking change to put Kobe ahead of the bigs, like magic and bird already were
It's a slight change that makes sense... the only other change was Wilt because I realized he should be the lone exception to the "dominant wing > dominant big" rule that my rankings generally abide by.. And Mikan was a troll against lebron but apparently no one saw the humor
