It's ironic but it's the people who hate LeBron, not LeBron "stans" that won't be watching basketball after he retires, as much as they don't want to admit it. Because despite y'all counting on him failing every step of the way once he's finally gone you're gonna realize you completely took him for granted and have absolutely nothing to do with your sorry lives anymore. :manny:

There are a lot of great players in this league but it'l be a while till we see anything close to LeBron, not just in terms of dominance but also in terms of pop-culture relevance. The league will undoubtedly suffer for a whle in his absence. Curry is at his peak right now and still doesn't sniff any of the TV numbers or social media presence Bron garnered from his Heat tenure. These other nikkas just don't have that "it", no matter what you delusion yourself into thinking on these forums. People lie, numbers don't, and numbers have been down across the board during Curry's "reign."
We've seen plenty of finals losers before, what makes Lbron any different?

Maaan, nikkas is stupid. There's nothing wrong with this, I'll bet nobody would talk shyt to Larry Johnson's face when he was putting on a wig and playing Grandmama. People hate on LeBron for all the wrong reasons.

But this ain't what I'm talbout.

When I say he's made mistakes socially, what I'm saying is that he does things that do not necessarily lend themselves towards endearing him to the court of public opinion. That is a fact. People love LeBron, but it's almost an equal number of people who hate him for whatever reason, a lot of which are usually ridiculous. Whether or not you agree that the things he does should be upsetting people does not change the fact that things he's done has changed the way people look at him in the court of public opinion. Technically, there was nothing wrong with The Decision, for example, but the way it was handled was extremely awkward....and it seems like LeBron always seems to handle everything awkward socially.

That was my point. Some cats in here are so busy trying to defend him on all fronts that they're not realizing that sometimes pointing something out is not necessarily a criticism or hating as much as it is just an observation.
my nikka...somebody paying attention, instead of just using social media as a resource.:myman:

His fall off will be steeper than Kobe's cuz he's not as skilled :ehh:

Once he can't crab dribble and bulldoze his way to the hole anymore it's a wrap. Father time comes for everybody and his game won't age well :manny:

Kobe only feel off cause of injuries. Most great players fall off cause of injuries which can be a result of father time.

Baring injuries Lebron won't have issue adjusting his game same as magic did when he was old and came back at 36 to play point PF.

Why do nikkas on this forum act like he doesn't have 2 rings? :heh:

Finals "loser" even though 90+% of the guys in this HOF don't have a single ring to their name, let alone 2, with 2 FMVPS (the same as darling Kobe and 2x more than Steph), and 4 RSMVPs. Probably gonna be the only player to retire with 25k+ points, 10k+ assists, 10k+ rebounds. Did it straight outta HS, while teenage Kobe was a bench rider and a 12ppg 36% scorer for his first "ring" that you all love to count. I'm sure I'll catch you in another thread parroting about how some ringless fakkit from the 80's or 90's is better than LeBron. :russell:

But if you want to know what makes him so different just look at the thread. You've been in here sweating for the past page trying to discredit someone so much. If he's so "irrelevant," why does he need constant discrediting to begin with. Who cares, right? lol, you're a fukking loser. :umad:

baby, that was the old me
:what:

INCORRECT! Jordan didn't do shyt which is why LeBron's in the record book exclusively for his feat of 25 PPG consecutively for 12 years & Jordan's not!



Not only was Jordan hurt in 85/86 (his second year) he also only averaged 22.7 PPG which would have excluded him regardless of how many games were/weren't played regular season. Furthermore in 85/86 Jordan only played 18 games & 17 games when he retired briefly in 94/95 so he's further eliminated because MJ missed 2 years playing at least half or a majority of the regular season (41 games or more) during his 12 years while LeBron didn't!

:gladbron:

Didn't I just state those reasons

And u really trying say a healthy MJ wouldn't get 25 plus :aicmon:

I just double checked and the man only started 7 games and played 25 mins

Mj came back on some Derrick Rose Returns ish droppin 44, 6 & 6 a game in the playoffs my dude

Yep. What throws a monkey wrench in all of this is how Lebron as set himself up for after basketball with all his venture deals.

Dude might make it to 35 and say to hell with it I quit. He won't have to play as long as many other greats like Kareem cause he will have so much income coming in after basketball.

The agency and production companies are really big businesses that can bring in large sources of income.

The thing is, he has already played as long as many other greats. He's played 13 seasons. Wilt, Russell, Big O, Bird, Magic, Jordan, all played between 12 and 15 years. That's why it's funny when people still try to throw the longevity card out there like the nikka hasn't already played a full career. The way he takes care of his body and has pushed for more rest to be built into the schedule, it seems like he is in it for the long haul. That said, 17 years is pretty long, especially if he is able to remain healthy and still play at a high level at that point.

For real, Lebron's business skills are so underrated.

He made himself a brand and negotiated the first lifetime deal with Nike. His children and grandchildren are guaranteed wealth because of this deal.

I respect Lebron and am sick of all the hate with people callin him Lethot and shyt and then dikkriding Curry.

Currys father was an NBA player millionaire who hired NBA caliber coaches for Curry and his siblings from Kindergarden. Same for Klay.

Players like Drose and Lebron were dealt a shytty fukkin hand, growing up with no real resources but being able to dominate through sheer ambition and skill.

Im supposed to hate Lebron and cheer for his downfall and failures? In favor a kid with a silver spoon in his mouth? fukk that hope Lebron gets the ring this year

Or when Lebron tries fixing up his team firing a useless coach and trying to make things work for Cleveland, and people on here criticizing him and supporting Blatt like wtf? Like they want Lebron to remain a fukkin pawn or something.


and im not even get into the dumbest criticism ive seen yet of Lebron "he posts too many videos of his sons, he needs to stop posting his sons on IG and stop going to their games".

Man get the fukk outta here with that stupid shyt :camby:

Curry had far less physical attributes than LeBron. Curry had to work 10 times harder to get to the league than LeBron did. Plus havin money had nothin to do with a kid makin it to the league. If that's the case why aren't more rich kids professional athletes:comeon:

:camby:

Is that really possible? :usure: What good are all of Kobe's skills doing him now that he can't blow by nikkas and raise up over them to shoot or dunk at will?

13 seasons in and people still hanging onto this? :dead: The guy is gonna be 18 years in, closing in on Kareem, still averaging 20+ on all post ups (because he's always gonna be 6'8, 260) and guys are still gonna be waiting for this epic fall off :mjlol:.
