LeBron the only player I've seen that gets hyped based on what he supposedly could do. And the things he could do get more and more absurd every time he fails, so basically every year. LeBron would never come close to averaging 40 11 and 9. He's never even averaged any of those stats individually let alone all together
I do agree with Gil that he's not a stereotypical 1st option, but its nonsense that he's not a 1st option at all. He's been the best player in the league for quite a few seasons, just because he doesn't shoot every time (although that def wasn't the case in the finals) doesn't mean you don't want him being your go to. What Gil should be calling out is the fact that LeBron tries to be so 'all around' all the time, he takes away from his teammates who aren't spot shooters.
Oh and 2nd or 3rd all time?? Foh.

I have no interest in seeing James as the number 1 option.....we saw plenty of that in the playoffs and it wasn't very pretty.

shyt isWait...was this thread meant to hate on Bron? I don't think you read the whole thing through bruh
He straight up said LeBron would shyt on Kobe's prime numbers if he wasn't so focused on winning. I don't know why Kobestans are dapping this.
shyt is
YEA...IF HE HAD HEART, HE HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE GOAT, NO DOUBT. BASED ON ATHLETICISM AND PHYSICAL ABILITY ALONE, STRAIGHT MONSTER. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, HEART IS NOT SOMETHING U ACQUIRE WITH TIME, IT'S SOMETHIN UR BORN WIT...AND LEBRON? WELL...HE MIGHT JUST DONT GOT IT.
SO IN ESSENCE, WHAT GILBERT IS SAYING IS THAT LEBRON COULDA BEEN THE GREATEST...BUT AS OF NOW, HE'S A TIER UNDER THE KOBE/MJ ECHELON. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT ALL BASKETBALL PURISTS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN SAYIN ALL ALONG.

That's not what Gilbert is saying though. There are plenty of people out there that say what you wish Gilbert had said. You should be quoting one of them instead.
"he gets bashed alot by media becuz he doesn't take over
so he walks into stats without trying
like u ppl have no idea what he could do if he had (1) season just 1 selfish season like kobe
it's sad the world wont get to see Who I'm talking about
look at every game he was pissed off and was challenged...
he didn't even tap into his ability to be GREATEST"
WHAT DO U THINK ALL THIS MEANS? U GOT COMPREHENSION ISSUES BRODIE??

I remember Gill could never beat Bron in the playoffs. Even whispered in his ear during a crucial freethrow and missed. Costing his team the game

It means LeBron is a monster but since he cares about winning and doing what is best for the team, we will never see the individual numbers he is capable of. I'm not sure why you keep insisting this is a slam on LeBron.
SO HE DOESNT TRY AND ONLY TURNS UP WHEN HE'S "PISSED OFF AND CHALLENGED" BECAUSE HE ONLY CARES ABOUT WINNING? SMH SLAP YASELF BRODIE.
HE SAYIN HE GOTS NO HEART...GET OVER IT MAYN
