Is LeBron James the Greatest Scorer Ever?

[surv2syn]

I am a stan but....No. He isnt a pure scorer. He has no elite skill outside of passing. (no elite handle, shooting, post game) He is underrated in terms of his ability to score however. What he is, is a phenomenal physical specimen combined with what I believe is the greatest bbiq in the history of the game. So even though he doesnt have offensive skills such as a Carmelo or KD, he just has sooooo many different ways he can put the ball in the basket and thats why he could be considered the GOAT scorer one day, without being considered ahead of guys like Kobe or MJ as far as offensive skills.

disagrees with you. But oh well

KD will go down as the greatest scorer ever.

If he didn't play his whole career with Westbrook and now with Klay and Steph, this wouldn't be a conversation.

LeBron is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan ever was. LeBron will not waste his time developing a mid range game. His post game is not elite, but he has his athleticism and court vision to diminish the impact of that flaw in his game.

LeBron James is the GOAT

MJ didn't even grow up with a 3 point line

A lot of intangibles (ease of schedule, league trends, conference, Piston/Mark Cuban rules, etc.).

I definitely think Lebron is sustaining his prime at a rate similar to Jordan.

I still have never seen a better scorer than prime Kobe though. Dude was bound to go off for something special any night and you could at least expect 23 points because dude had nobody to pass it to.

It's kind of like a Shaq/Hakeem vs Kareem comparison. I need to win this year, maybe go for a 3 peat: Kobe/Hakeem/Shaq/Dirk (not necessarily by position). Long term dynasty competitive every year: Kareem/Magic/Jordan/Lebron/Duncan.

Pop even had to tell his players to :

Interesting comparison..

LeBron stans are fukkjng weirdos

These peasants are going full retard. This is about as dumb as ninjas were talking about Curry last year

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Lebron isnt even the best scorer NOW

this is a terrible thread



I love kobe, but this is just flat out silly

Bruh

They've fukking lost it.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Your problem is that you seem to think having a go-to move is better than being able to get the best shot.

Lebron uses all those, depending on the situation.



Start watching from 5:40 min and in.

Lebron's greatness and skill is so underrated because people would rather hate than appreciate exactly how good he is.

He doesn't do that shyt consistently

It's an edited video

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

The most impressive thing about LeBron's scoring ability is the fact that dude does not give a fukk about scoring. He is truly a pass first player. If he had Kobe's chucking mentality god knows what kind of totals he'd put up.

This is such fukking bullshyt

Someone who averages 20 shots a game for their career doesn't give a fukk about scoring

Jordan played 3 game 7's in his entire career. He took teams out before then.

And was taken out before then too. Nothing you said invalidates my point.

 

[Biscayne]

Why does the so called choker has the highest game 7 and elimination game ppg of all time? Somebody's lying

To be fair, MJ won titles before letting the series go past six games.

 

[Jplaya2023]

And was taken out before then too. Nothing you said invalidates my point.

lebron has played in numerous game 7s so his numbers should be better. The fact your using game 7s as a comparison invalidates your point when those games aren't equal amongst all players

Also, being a 3 point shooter was never part of MJ game. He was always a slasher with a killer mid range game.

Well yeah but the main reason it wasn't part of his game was because it didn't even exist for him until college.

MJ's shooting form is perfect so he probably would've took 5-7 at a 40%clip today

I love Bron Bron but I saw MJ in his prime and no, just no. Michael Jordan is the only guy when i watched him play, it seemed like every shot was going in. Scoring was effortless to him.
