LeBron James is the best player I grew up watching. Put fúcking Dwayne Wade in there and that statement stays the same. You don't have to slob on his knob everyday. He's THE GOAT so make we hear word abeg.

Ooh please you know what I mean. Man was a bonafied brick layer. Man was the brick savant before westbrick

Jordan I can agree to an extent but he doesn't have LeBron's versatility, magic too. But LeBron is both these guys combined plus more. The fact that you added wilt to this means you've never watched that era of basketball. I didn't live to witness it but I've seen clips and all I have to say is... Nope. Do yourself a favour and go on YouTube. That was boring as hell. No wonder basketball was dying until magic and bird saved it.

And I'm not open minded? WTF? When my uncle converted to Sufism I didn't kill him when I saw him like everyone in my family told me to and every one of them probably would've. No! Instead I chased him with a dagger until he got into his car and drove off. Well that was probably cause I didn't want to get blood on my new getzner but he's still alive. I don't know what's more open minded than that.

Anyways point is, I'm open to change. I used to think Westbrook is better than curry, I don't anymore. I'm the most open minded person I know.

steady986:

Oh, LeBron and Wade are your favorite players? That's good.

SmooshCHN:
Chandler Parsons and Kendrick Perkins are. Nice try Buddy.

steady986:

If I have to argue with you that calling one person a work of art doesn't necessarily mean other people can't be works of art as well, then there's something wrong.

steady986:

Wow, no wonder you analyse basketball just like they play it.

Got him 5 rings. I don't think any HOF ever did that.

LOL at Michael Jordan to an extent. Wilt Chamberlain is an household name in the name. So it stands. Good you brought up Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. It only proves my point.

Calm down big Fella. I didn't ask you for your family history. It might give us a clue as to what's wrong with you but we don't need it here cos it has nothing to do with basketball. Stay on topic.

Progress over perfection. You'll get there. Eventually!!

KarnThornheart:


No Hall of Famer ever got five rings or missed more shots than anyone in NBA history cause if it's the latter I wholeheartedly agree. Besides, westbrick averaged a triple double three years in a row, no Hall of Famer has ever done that. Doesn't mean he's not a brick layer.




What? I gave the bald man his props. Wilt being a household name doesn't mean that era of basketball didn't suck! Bird and magic are great, never denied that. But they're not LeBron.



You claimed I wasn't open minded. That story just proves I'm the most open minded person on this thread.



Get where exactly? Start thinking curry isn't a choker? Lmao. Never gonna happen.

SmooshCHN:


Or my basketball knowledge is as far and robust as they're wallets. Sadly, in your case, if I wanted to kill myself, I'll climb to the level of your stupid basketball takes and jump down to the level of your basketball IQ.

Take a seat brother.

Now you get the point.

He carried them further than they should have ever gone in every single occasion bar 2011. His team's won 3 times and he has 3 FMVPs. And even in 2011, it's funny how when LeBron couldn't perform (17 7 7 or something like that) they lost. I don't understand why people try to equate team accomplishments to a player's greatness. I guess by your standards Barkley was a bum, so was Karl Malone , Stockton, Miller, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, the ice man, Iverson and all these all time greats without rings.

steady986:

Wow, no wonder you analyse basketball just like they play it.

steady986:

And also as substandard as the ones made in Nigeria.

Lol, [b]this dude trynna scare me with literature. [/b]You're the type that actually talks uncontrollably about basketball, but when you stop and look back at what you have said, you discover you really have not been making sense all along.

Kendrick Perkins is probably the most reasonable person on air right now. Don't speak what u don't know.

You're making it too easy man. You're honestly smarter than these replies. You're slipping and I'm disappointed. We'll discuss this after Iftar.

benji93:
No No No, you obviously don't get my argument, i have never ever claimed Lebron was not great, he is among the greatest, his statistical achievements says it all. He is at least top 10, some even have him 2nd behind MJ. However, in this case, we are comparing one great player to another, so the quality of the victories do matter. Why do you think people place Olajuwon above those other guys you mention? As contemporaries, while MJ was out, he won at hteir expense. So man, the argument is not about Lebron's greatness.

chic2pimp:
A40 see your Boy Bledsoe with 8 points

A40:
All the basketball I don watch. I know a wasteman when I see one. If I'm the Bucks I'd call up Charlotte and try and get Kemba Walker. If I have to let Mirotic, Hill walk and trade Bledsoe to the Wizards or some club. Pay Brogdon, Pay Kemba and surround Giannis with shooters while he also works on his shooting. Because the Raptors exposed him badly

Hardetayour:

KarnThornheart:


Even with MJ active, Hakeem was arguably the best two way player in the league. Put some respect on his name. You can't tell me because Iverson or Paul or Nash never won a ring and Tony Parker did he's better than them. That's blasphemous.

Most people have MJ at number out of sentimentality. He's to basketball what Ali is to boxing. As far as legacy, he's almost universally regarded as the greatest of all time. But anyone who knows boxing will tell you peeps like Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong and IMO Marvin Hagler and maybe even floyd were better boxers than him.

KarnThornheart:


Lol! Kemba? Kemba is illegible for a 200m plus Supermax. Unless the bucks want to ruin their roster that upgrade is not worth it. Middleton is up for a pay raise. Giannis is also up for a super max in a year. Kemba is not a viable option for them at all. Lowry played like a bum against the Cavs last year, this year he's in the finals. Bledsoe will come around.

A40:
What does it matter? In today's league the really good teams have 2-3 players on max deals. The trick is to pay it to the guys in their primes.

Obviously someone like Kemba will have to take a cut unless he wants to remain in the hell that is the Hornets right now.

Getting Bledsoe, Mirotic and Hill off their books will create money for Kemba. It's a hypothetical longshot but it is what it is

Stop comparing Kyle Lowry to Eric Bledsoe. Kyle Lowry averaged 18ppg last year and was let down by his mental midget teammate DeMar DeRozan unlike that bum Eric Bledsoe and his poverty numbers this series. He was the 6th best scorer on his own team. That's how useless he was

benji93:
Again, nothing against Lebron's greatness, nothing against Hakeem's greatness, the latter is even my favourite player, however biased it may be. I could argue that if Hakeem didn't have mostly sub-par/Junky teamates or if he had Ralph Sampson for a longer period, He might be the one in the discussion for the GOAT. And i get it, Jordan was more marketable, and he came in as a poster boy, But his achievements are just up there including the rings, 6 out of 6, with no game 7 in all his finals. However you wanna spin that, you can say they had weaker opponents, or he had a top 50 player for his first 3-peat and 2 top 50 players during his 2nd peat, Perhaps it's just luck, or the multiverses conspired to place him on the very peak of everest. You can even say Jordan was awful in some of his play off series, i won't refute it. It is what it is, The guy is a fucking winner.

KarnThornheart:


And Kemba should definitely not take a cut. He deserves to get paid. Especially after all the years of abuse and hardship he endured at the hands of the degenerate gambler. What you are talking about is highly implausible. There's nothing to suggest that the bucks are that desperate enough to get rid of bledsoe who again was a huge part of their success to do something so drastic.

What defines a player? How many times have we seen superstars consistently bomb in the playoffs? Again does that mean they're useless?

Just like derozan let Lowry down Giannis definitely let his team down with is one dimensional offense. He definitely underperformed. Again if all you do is get to the rim you will get exposed in the playoffs. Simmons Westbrook Giannis if you can't shoot you'll get exposed. Same goes for bledsoe I guess but he's not the superstar Giannis is. If he had come through we wouldn't be having this discussion.
