Is lebron today.. delete his entire history, pretend this is his first year in the nba… is THIS player that exists right now, the second best player of all time?


Be forreal. LeBron of today isn’t even an all nba player. He can still hoop, but he’s not that guy anymore. Using that to stain him historically lacks all basic comprehension. shyts like questioning Jordan’s position as the greatest ever (which he is) because he wasn’t able to lead Rip Hamilton and Kwame Brown to the finals despite being nearly 40. What’s wrong with you people?


I’m a Jordan guy and even I see how foolish some of these takes are. Get it together
The congnitive dissonance the dumbasses have on here when it comes to LeBeron is hilarious. One second Bron is old and cooked, the next second they're using his losses in the twilight of his career as a referendum for his entire career.

There's a thread asking "What changed when he went to the West???" like we don't know he's missed 25+ games 3 of his 4 seasons with the Lakers. nikkas are incapable of having honest conversations on here and that's why this forum is horrible for sports convos.

Narrative based hot take culture really ruined the fan experience. It’s all so performative. One of the reasons I stopped posting in this sub..


Nobody can have an honest conversation. LeBron is one of the best we’ve ever seen. At 38 he’s still one of the better players in the league, but he’s not the best player on the court most nights. Even when his team is winning. He was what, third team all-nba this year? It’s arguable that he shouldn’t have even been that..


The nikka is 38. The fact that he’s even producing at this level still is insane. He can only add to his legacy at this point, not take away from it. Again, he’s 38.


And to OP’s terrible point, obviously Kevin Durant TODAY and Devin Booker TODAY are better players than 38 year old Lebron. That’s not the big “ahaaa” gotcha moment you think it is. Like my nikka, no shyt. He’s a bad landing away from retirement. I would hope they were better.


I can only imagine what this site would have looked like during Jordan’s Wizards run. Ya’ll lack of ability to contextualize is insane

Damn I didn’t know this I wonder why people don’t ever mention oh probably because they only seem to care about 1-4 players MJ, Kobe, Lebron, and whoever the top players main competitor is at the time.

Shaq getting swept regularly early on in his career was very much brought up against him back then in real time. Thing is that five of those swepts happened when he was with Orlando (3 consecutive) and before he won the three-peat. He kind of "erased" that stigma that by winning big afterwards. But it was very much something that was brought up often back then.

Never works that way.

NBA talk in particular is devoid of common sense.
