Man I hate biased writers like this. Yes LeBron, physically and athletically, is the greatest player the NBA has seen. But he is NOT the best player. Why yall acting like because he's a better version of Magic that equates to him being better than the GOAT? Like someone said earlier, after the 2011 finals, this argument was laid to rest. It was no longer a race for the best ever. It became a race for the 2nd best since Jordan (Kobe vs. LB). You can't mess up on the biggest stage time and time again and still hope to be called the GOAT. Please. Its not that easy.
Being the GOAT doesn't just mean your physical skills , it means your mental skills as well. AND THAT is where LBJ falls waaaay short. There's a reason why a slow, clumsy, unathletic dude like Bird was snatching souls. Because he mentally dominated his opponent. Yes he was skilled too but go watch any of these legends talk bout facing Bird and they'll agree. Larry deciphered the game and his opponent in a way that only Jordan could. LeBron aint never been nor will he ever be that guy. He's very weak mentally. He is a top 5-7 player all time, but unless he finishes with more rings than MJ, he will never be the GOAT.
