What u mean not really breh
He got the accolades, longevity, numbers
There is no discussion really about him exceeding the hype
He’s at worst the 5th best player of all time right now, I say job well done
To me he was being hyped while he still had never won anything.
He was being hyped while he could barely even shoot.
Or hit outside shots consistently.
Yes, he eventually started winning, once he did something that others before him never attempted to do in their primes...
Hes a really good player... but they talk about him as if hes either 1 or 2 all time...hes not.
He wasnt the best player in the years kobe was still rockin...
And he ain't the best player now.
I guess I'm tryna say the hype is higher than he could have even gotten to
What else do the man have to accomplish
Nothing...
Hes accomplished alot..
But the nba wouldnt have let him fail anyway.
Theres no knock on bron... just think the nba needed a new face to lead the nba....
And he was that guy.

nikka said Bron 1-8 in Finals, as if Bron couldn't possibly be 5-4 if he shows up vs Dallas and he has Kyrie and Love in '15...

There is no debate LeBron fulfilled the hype. Its widely acknowledged that the NBA gave away MVPs (at minimum 1) because of "LeBron Fatigue" to other guys that deserved to be his. He should have at least 5 MVPs, and you can argue he could have up to 7...
Besides shutting himself out of a ring in '11, its widely acknowledged that he could potentially have another chip in '15 if his horses were with him. Nobody with basketball sense thinks his squad was supposed to beat the Spurs in '07 or '14 or the Warriors in '17 or '18...
His impact on the sport as the most versatile player ever is widely acknowledged. He's one if the greatest scorers of all time without being a score first player---->if LeBron was a score first guy he'd easily have probably 5 scoring titles and a 32+ career average...
In his prime he could defend any position, his anticipation was unparalleled. As he's aged and become a lesser defender, his ability to STILL impact games defensively in critical junctions is extremely underrated...
He took a franchise that was NOTHING before him and made them annual contenders and eventual champions. What other GOAT did this besides Mike or Kareem? Not Larry, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Wilt, etc...
Came into The League with everybody gunning for him and met the challenge head on even if it wasn't always pretty. He took his L's and he always could sulk sometimes and get moody but he NEVER ran from the challenge...
His impact on the sport from a cultural perspective is unmatched by anyone besides Mike. The 2nd greatest player of the 2010s is patterning his entire career (not his game, but his career) after Bron on some Kobe-after-Mike shyt. What does that say when the 2nd greatest player of an era is so consumed with chasing you?
Missed 40% of the 2000s and is still a Top 10 player of that era. Is the #1 player of the 2010s by a landslide and dominated the era in every meaningful facet besides team success, and yet is still as accomplished as the greatest team in that era--->Warriors won 3 chips in the '10s, Bron won 3 chips in the '10s, and its widely acknowledged that the Warriors retooled with the Express interest of keeping Bron from winning all the chips (and it worked, kudos to them)...
He was every team, every player, every coaches primary focus. He was the best player in the NBA for a decade...
I can keep going, any assertion that LeBron hasn't exceeded the hype isn't rooted in anything realistic unless you expected him to win every championship and every MVP, which again, isn't realistic...
His only challengers as the #1 GOAT is Mike and Kareem. The vast majority of unbiased basketball heads acknowledge this without trouble, saying he's #4 or #5 is low but a listenable argument, and anyone who claims he isn't Top 5 has exposed themselves as an ignorant hater. Again, most people have him Top 3 without fuss and many have him Top 2...
He's gonna disappoint a lot if people if he goes on a late career run winning championships like Tom Brady, who won in Year 17 (and SB MVP) and won again in Year 19. None of us can guarantee anything, but he's going into Year 17 this year. If he wins two more chips, that would be 5 chips in double digit Finals with potentially 5 Finals MVPs, this guy could literally spend two thirds of his career playing in NBA Finals (he's already played in 9 in 16 seasons, 56%)...
But he hasn't exceeded the hype hahahahahaha...

Seems like you wished Bron accomplished where he previously came up short. Doesn’t work like that but Bron is an atg
