LeBron whining about "ring culture" in the NBA

[IllegalD]

THIS IS WHY WE HATE:

This narcissistic sack of sh*t has made his ENTIRE career about team-jumping, building super teams and even using his buddy's agency to funnel talent to his teams in order to win as many rings as he can and tie/pass MJ. Now that he's seeing he most likely won't get there all of a sudden he thinks "ring culture" is a bad thing for the sport...

"I don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport... You tell me Iverson, Barkley, Nash weren't f**** unbelievable? They can't be talked about with these guys because they won rings?

It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has 1 ring.

Barry Bonds never won a world series and you can't sit here and tell me that he's not the greatest baseball player to ever touch a bat."

He probably felt that way before leaving even leaving Cleveland..?

Damn, Mannings 2nd ring so unimpressive it gets forgotten

Damn, Mannings 2nd ring so unimpressive it gets forgotten

So I guess he’d be okay getting compared to Barkley, Iverson and Nash?

This was a question asked by a fan in the Mind the Game podcast. He was also asked who the toughest defender he had faced was and he said Ron Artest. I thought you was going to say Kawhi. Nash named Jason Kidd.

Also Nash and LeBron believe the triangle offense would fail in today's league because of pace and space. Tex Winter would have to adjust it somehow to make it work.

For anyone interested...

[Full Court]

Not surprising coming from the biggest underachiever in the history of the sport.

I mean, of course when you come into the league thinking you're some kind of "chosen one" and then come nowhere near being considered the GOAT, even by the current generation, you're going to be bitter about it.

Damn, Mannings 2nd ring so unimpressive it gets forgotten

Totally forgot about that in all honesty.

Both of them are unimpressive.

So much great content in this interview, but people just focus on that ring comment?

And it's pretty obvious he made that comment to make Nash feel better. It's something people do all the time to build rapport.

[SouBeachTalents]

Both of them are unimpressive.

The 2nd one is Trent Dilfer level.

This narcissistic sack of shit

Exactly.

Same guy who dubbed himself the greatest of all time.

[StrongLurk]

Lebron is honestly so damn humble.

Dude has 4 of the hardest rings ever and yet he still downplays his rings. GOAT stuff.

[Gudo]

He had to mention Nash
