No nikka you don't watch basketball and you make up bullshyt to diminish LeBron. All you Kobe stans are at best casual basketball fans, too many of y'all expose y'all selves time and time again.
You just called Chris Bosh a top 10 two-way player before Miami, a guy who anchored some of the worst defenses in the league, was thought of as soft, a guy who out his own mouth went to Miami to win and change his perception. The fukk are you talking about? Bosh was a very good player, pre-Miami he wasn't a big draw, and he wasn't considered no god damn two way player, he ranked in the 10-20 range overall in the league, it was always hard to rank him because of lack of playoff appearances. Like @The Dankster said he probably wasn't considered a top 5 PF among basketball fans.
Lol, at the last part, shyt isn't even worth addressing. Negged.

You never even really played ball so you don't even know what constitutes a top player
You are a b-ball novice bc your argument is based upon stats and not skills
You are a geek & I will never respect your opinion on b-ball if you can't acknowledge Bosh as a top 15 player in his prime, clown

Oh really? I never played ball and you know this how?
Nikka I played Vars my junior year of high school, I play intramurals in college, whenever I can I still hit the courts outside or the gym. You was a super star basketball player huh?
I said Bosh was in the 10-20 range and arguably a top 5 PF, which is fair to anyone who was cognitive and actually watched ball back then. Nowhere, have I dissed Bosh. I actually accurately painted his career narrative with facts out his own mouth, but you dumb mothafukkas don't like those.
Son out here flip flopping it went from top 10 two-way player (
) to top 15 player in the league. 
Because the initial argument was about Bosh's status in the league as a player and a draw, look at the quote you posted. You really slow huh?
Jordan and the Bulls are tops .. but low key on a side note remember when Vince Carter made that leap? It was short lived but he was drawing sellouts when that "Half Man- Half Amazin'" first took off
Ya'all won't be able to deal with reality. Kobe managed to sell out his farewell tour. Lebron sells out damn near every game EVERY season.
"Interestingly, James sells out even more so on the road, perhaps because he’s more of a novelty when traveling. Over the past six seasons — his last two with the Cavs and all four with the Heat — James’s teams away capacity has averaged 99.5 percent."
Trying to Measure the ‘LeBron Effect’ on Game Attendance
Lebron's teams have led the league in road attendance 6 of the last 7 years....EVERY year except Kobe's farewell tour, even with the super-Warriors.
And then there's TV. Where the hell the Kobe games on this list? I thought that the WCF was the "real Finals", right? Most-watched playoff games are ALWAYS Lebron games, and that's even though ya'all claiming he has a cakewalk.
And he sells out anyway, even over the Warriors so what does that say?
Kobetards getting hit with facts and taking Ls per usual
It's mind-blowing. They keep denying actual facts like these, then think anyone will take them seriously when it comes to matters of opinion.
p.s. - Jordan is huge but it ain't really comparable. In Jordan's time you didn't have 55-inch flat-screen TVs and game packages allowing you to watch every single game at home. You didn't have the internet and the ability to stream damn near anything. You didn't have people who legit said they preferred watching games at home to going to the arena.
In Jordan's time, you have TV blackouts which kept you from watching home games unless they sold out and an NBA/Nike machine that was relentlessly promoting Jordan all the way. There was no way for him not to dominate the draw.

they live off of opinions rather than factsTerrible reasoning. I've heard it all. Now nikkas blaming 55 inch tv's and internet
. It's odd, the biggest boxing matches in your lifetime occurred during the "$100 PPV/55" tv/Internet streaming" era, Green Bay vs Dallas just became the most watched playoff game ever....in the 55" tv era, the most watched college football game was Texas vs USC.....during this 55" tv era, Cubs vs Indians game 7 was just the most watched baseball game (a dying sport in popularity terms) in 25 years.....during this 55" tv era. It can't be both. Are you saying this era handicaps viewership when trying to explain away Jordan's popularity? Or am I dreaming and not seeing some of the most viewed sporting events are taking place right before your very eyes in the era you claimed hindered such happenings?

Kawhi is the best two way player in the league yet it can be argued he isn't even a top 3 overall player. You have no context bc you don't understand ball
Who didn't play intramaural?
