Lebron has damaged his legacy so much since joining the lakers. This man is a pathological liar who NEVER takes accountability for anything smh. He is a terrible leader who needs to retire
@@crizzleyo815it’s all role players but the amount of games Lebron himself has completely thrown out the window bc of bad turnovers or missed shots has done more damage than the role players, it’s always everyone but bron, their champ year AC rondo KCP all played well and did their job, rui played well last year d mo had a good Memphis series, you guys expect role players to be perfect every game for bron, you ever think maybe they play bad, bc the entire media pressures them? If they play bad it’s always them, never that bron missed the game winning 3 or layup or had a bad turnover
You can use longevity as the reason he's not the GOAT. Most turnovers all time, most final losses all time, soon to be most playoff losses of all time, soon to be most missed shots of all time, most times swept in the finals, ect...
it’s crazy how much my opinion of Lebron has changed in last few years. I used to think he was #2 all time and whatnot, but when i started watching his game it’s insane how fake his status is. Awful body language, somehow played 20 years and still doesn’t have a bag, always chasing super teams and blaming everyone else. Bro is simply not on the level as the other TRUE NBA legends
Believe it or not their still out there. I had amine if then saying how Lakers need more help in the paint and another big man. Apparently AD with his incredible defence isn’t enough 😂 With Lebron it’s BECER enough. Charles Barkley was right about him years ago when he said he doesn’t want to compete and just wants the most stacked teams
Lebron is arguably the most physically gifted basketball player to ever walk the face of the earth. Its basketball, not 4D chess. If don't score more than your opponent, not gonna win.
@@joelpenley9791What's the series count? 3-0? And that's with the refs calling more fouls for the Lakers & few for Denver (they went the last quarter, maybe 2, without going to the line, while being aggressive). That 4D chess isn't working out so well
NO ONE wants Lebron to retire more than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His attitude, behavior, arrogance, ALL of it coincides with this PITIFUL society as a matter of fact.
I would have to, respectfully, disagree. Ever since the league stole the Rookie-of-the-Year award from Carmelo and gave it to you-know-who, I knew basketball would never be the same. He is the most overrated, narcissistic, lying and cheating POS the league has ever known.
If LeBronze went to the Knicks he’d suck up all the money and expect everybody else to take a paycut for the privilege of being his next scapegoat. Same exact thing he’s done with the Lakers.
Back in 1990 after Jordan lost to the Pistons for the third consecutive year, I never saw MJ make excuses for it. He still shook the Bad Boys’ hands no matter how much he hated it and how much it hurt him. He didn’t walk towards the locker room with time on the clock acting like a sore loser which LeBron has done. I know Jordan wasn’t perfect. He was not Mr. Congeniality among his teammates and neither was Kobe. If you ever read Sam Smith’s The Jordan Rules, you would know what a dick MJ could be. Horace told Shannon Sharpe a story on how MJ told the stewardess not to serve Horace any food. I’m not going to sugarcoat what MJ did because he was not exactly the nicest person in the locker room. Guys like Cartwright and Perdue wanted to sock him during practice. He wasn’t this lovable leader the way Showtime teammates loved playing with Magic and his contagious smile. But when MJ lost or he failed, he did get blamed and criticized for it. He did not have network shills like LeBron does making excuses for him or trying to revise history. Kobe wasn’t perfect either. I told y’all he was called Showboat by his teammates as a teenager. Similar to Jordan, Kobe was deemed selfish. Remember back in 2006? Barkley called out Kobe for quitting because Kobe rarely shot the ball in the 2nd half of a Game 7 against Phoenix. At least three times, Kobe could’ve been traded out of the Lakers. He could’ve signed with the Clippers in 2004 or be traded to the Bulls in 2007. But Kobe took all the criticisms and hatred when he did fail. Similar to Jordan hearing how scoring champions couldn’t win rings circa 1989-1990, Kobe kept hearing how he couldn’t win a ring without Shaq. How he was a BIG MAN RIDER. He was called Kobrick. How he was a poor leader. Remember, he had a weird beef with Ray Allen from 2004? Check this out - “He’s going to be very selfish,” Allen said of Bryant, who scored 15 of his team’s first 20 points and had 35 points in Tuesday’s loss. “And he feels like he needs to show this league and the people in this country that he is better without Shaq. He can win championships without Shaq. So offensively, he’s going to jump out and say, ‘I can average 30 points. I can still carry the load on this team.’ Hmmm, tell us more Ray. “If Kobe doesn’t see he needs two and a half good players to be a legitimate playoff contender or win a championship in about a year or two he’ll be calling out to Jerry Buss that ‘We need some help in here,’ or ‘Trade me,’ ” Allen said. “And we’ll all be saying, ‘I told you so,’ when he says that.” _ Ray was actually correct on that because Kobe did demand a trade by 2007 and he didn’t really get over the hump until that Kwame for Pau Gasol trade in early 2008 thanks to Jerry West being the Grizzlies GM on his last year. From Phil Jackson: “Michael was receptive to criticism,” Jackson said in Jeff Pearlman’s Three Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty. “He wouldn’t always agree, but he would hear you out. Kobe didn’t have that.” Phil further detailed Kobe’s unwillingness to accept criticism before bestowing a harsh diagnosis (h/t Three Ring Circus). “I did a lot of studying about juvenile narcissism, and juvenile narcissists are the worst because they think they only deserve the best. They want to be the leaders. They don’t accept counseling or advice. You can’t criticize them. Kobe was a juvenile narcissist.” It wasn’t just Phil who noticed a problem, however. The players who shared a locker room with Bryant were begging the self-absorbed star to change his ways. *Kobe’s* *Laker* *teammates* *wanted* *him* *gone* While all of the drama unfolded behind the scenes, the Lakers were rolling on the court. In Jackson’s first season, they won 16 straight games to start the year 31-5. Later on, they won 19 straight and finished the season 67-15. But as the season went on, Jackson heard a common gripe from his players: “Kobe isn’t passing enough.” In late January, Jackson held a team meeting to discuss his famous triangle offense. The triangle was predicated on selfless basketball and teamwork, something even Jordan had to adapt to after failing to achieve team success early in his career. But soon, the meeting spiraled into an attack on Bryant. “I think Kobe is playing too selfishly for us to win,” [O’Neal] said. “I’m tired of it.” “How many times have we been through this?” [Rick] Fox added. “The best teams I’ve ever been with,” [Brian] Shaw said, “were teams that shared the basketball. You can’t win one against five. Ever.” www.sportscasting.com/phil-jackson-revealed-how-badly-kobe-bryants-teammates-wanted-him-gone-from-lakers-kobe-was-juvenile-narcissist/ Kobe trash talking his teammates in practice ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-raXtQutWJbo.htmlsi=iZrD3KNmovPuqb6C ^ I love that video! I laugh each time Kobe said motherf***er. 🤣 Whatever negative that Jordan or Kobe committed, they still got blamed for it though. That’s the difference between them and LeBron when he fails at something. Jordan was getting blamed for his father’s murder because he gambled! Neither MJ or Kobe had guys like Shannon Sharpe or Nick Wright to kiss their ass every morning from Monday to Friday. With LeBron, it’s the same old shit put on repeat. Find his scapegoat. Create another excuse. Look for more help because playing next to a top 10 player like Anthony Davis is not good enough to beat Denver featuring one all-star. Then go criticize refs. Use passive aggressive tweets to criticize teammates like Kevin Love or your GM in Rob Pelinka. How was DLo sitting away from the bench any worse than LeBron doing that in 2018 after the JR Smith debacle? The Cavs still had 5 minutes more to play. This was in the Finals. DLo acted like that in the First Round when the game was already out of hand. And if LeBron was a true leader, he would’ve got in DLo’s face about it. I keep hearing from the media, LeBron is this great leader and how he makes his teammates better. How? Did you see Chris Bosh’s numbers in Miami? How about Kevin Love’s in Cleveland? They were 26 PPG scorers prior to playing next to LeBron. He uses these teammates as pawns to only enhance HIS legacy. He’s the GOAT narcissist. F🧹🧹🧹 LeBron! Overrated, over manufactured “GOAT”. “Winning has a price.” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HM6uOFRAO6Q.htmlsi=jdR_DTaWiMb6wn1C
If you want a true leader who is also nice towards his teammates and people around him and actually makes his teammates better, then look no further than Nikola Jokić.
@@Bonobo_JoJo I read all of it. But, then again, I have the reading comprehension and speed of someone who graduated from high school so I can see why so many Lebron fans have trouble with it.
Growing up i didn’t like mj because I was a pistons fan. That said he was by a large margin the greatest ever. I enjoyed the pistons slamming him, cheap shotting him and beating him. But Jordan was a G and kept coming. Idc what anyone says, unmatched fundamentals, ability, intensity and knowing the moment. Dude got straight up killed in the paint every night. But he never relented. He demanded the best out of his teammates. Nobody ever made others better than mj. It’s honestly a silly debate bc there isn’t one.
I was never a bulls fan or MJ fan. But you are right. The dude was just tough as nails. He would get mugged with Piston’s Jordan rules. But he lead by example. No excuses. He just wanted to win more than anyone else and executed in the clutch
@@terencebryson1990 He did though, by forming ghey "superteams". He's repeatedly stacked the deck on all his teams since he ran like a frightened broad from the Cavs.
The LEast hasn't been better than the West since the '80s and maybe early '90's. Part of the reason LeCon was able to make the Finals w. that Cavs team back then.
Because the media stops sucking him off since he doesn't make him money anymore. In a few years he will be 8th place on the all-time list with his "4" rings.
"It's just basketball" is a slap in the face to everyone who were able to use the opportunity of sports to improve their life situation. These are the words of a man who obviously forgot where he came from.
Jokic once said "The job is done, we can go home now". Lebron, if you don't understand this phrase, I will explain it for you. It literally means "Our job as extremely well paid NBA players is not only to play, our job is to play and try and win. And we finally DID it!!! So NOW we can proudly go home and have our deserved rest". I don't know if Nuggets will the Championship this year again... who's to say? But one thing I'm sure about is that Jokic and friends do know that their job is not to only play the game well but to always try to win. Thank you, Nikola, for making it very clear to us that you do know what your job is!
Anthony Edwards is the spiritual succesor to Jordan and Bryant. Saying he wants to kill whatever's in front of him (KD, Book, Beal ☠️), the trash talk, athleticism, hustle. Lebron never had that mentality.
Man, Ant straight up took the title of best shooting guard in the league from Devin Booker in this series lmao! He probably just took his Olympics spot too!
did u see the look on AD face tho ? ... If its just a game why you yell at that man and D-Lo like its important that they back you up and contribute more ? Winning aint that important its just all fun and a game right ? GTFOH LeBUM
-- personally, I have Lebron 3rd behind MJ and Kareem. Even if it is "just basketball," my issue w/ LeThird is calling himself the "Goat." He's great but not the Goat.
@@jlui21. I think the problem is just fans and guys like Rich Paul who go on the offense for LBJ saying something like, “it’s disrespectful to keep him out of top 2.” That is just some yes-men kinda talk to me
The LeMedia is going to do a 180 and start praising the Nuggets and comparing them to the 2017 Warriors. Then they’ll say “yeah he lost to Thanos but kept it close all games”. Those clowns are going to twist their narrative soon. Just wait for it
I've been watching basketball for 45 years and it's still amazes me that there's people who believe that LeBron is the best ever. He is obviously an unbelievable basketball player. No debate but I'll take 10 players above him that I think are better.
It's just practice is the complete opposite. He meant that the game is important and he always showed up in the games. LeBron is saying that the whole sport is not important. Just pathetic.
These edits are killing me 😂 especially the "I make the right play every single time" part in the beginning and the MJ "Making excuses" part, keep this up man!
Michael Jordan never won without Scottie holding his hand and KD was always stacking superteams on lebron hating on him if MJ played against KD and curry’s Golden state warriors he losing 4-0 everyone knows this. This page is full of lebron haters bums get off u knees Jordan don’t like u 🤣
@@carloszepeda8960 doesn’t change the fact Scottie was holding his hand to victory every single ring get off ur knees for ur boyfriend because you know KD and curry’s Golden state would’ve stomped on ur boyfriend replace MJ with any other NBA player they would win the same amount of rings now get off ur knees for ur fake goat that had Scottie carry him every game and jus has old heads making lies about his career
@@carloszepeda8960 lebron was carried a trash CAVS team to a ring when they were down 3-1 even there own players admit they got carried NOBODY in bulls admit they got carried FIND CLIPS KIDS UR SILENT mj got carried by Dennis and Scotty his whole career lebron simply had nobody and carried his trash team and lebron haters will make up any lie to make him look bad lol kids can’t get off there Knees for MJ
This is it. There is no LeBron fan out there with a brain that can make a case for LeBron being the goat. I think he might be in the top five. He is way overrated, and the media has pushed that narrative.
I think there's many ways to look at it. In his prime he was easily the most dominant player in league history after MJ if you look at his regular seasons, and SOME of his playoff runs. The problem is his attitude, and his influence on the game, and obviously some of his epic choke jobs. Lebron's greatest legacy on the game is pretty much ushering in the era of player entitlement, fingerpointing, flopping, and complaining. For that I will never consider him a top player. If you take all of that out and just look at his impact on teams and ball games, he is certainly a top 5 probably top 3 or 2 player. There is zero arguments for putting him over MJ though. Zero.
@@zaynoncrack4502 At times it certainly did, but thing is, when the preassure was on that's when it didn't. That's the main thing that seperates MJ and Bron.
This guy should really stop speaking. 🤦🏽♂️ They should treat him like a politician and read only from the teleprompter, never go off script, because he’s a disaster on the podium. Who says this game is just a game, said the Billionaire. 🤦🏽♂️
Lebron is trash. I saw that when he first came into the league. You could see his mentality thinking he is owed something. Just garbage. Hope Denver wins tonite.
@@DananjaySoccer So Kyrie didn't average 27 in the same series? Curry wasn't hobbled, and Draymond didn't get injured? DELUSION AT IT'S FINEST, PEOPLE! 😂
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968 there was games lebron won without Kyrie PUT MJ AGAINST the golden state where KD clicked with CURRY for that super team see how fast ur boyfriend gets dropped MJs only wins are with Scottie he’s 0-8 without Scottie DELUSION AT ITS FINEST.
Old Liverpool football(soccer for our esteemed American fiends) bill Paisely said "some people think football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed in that attitude. I can assure you its much more important than that"
Let’s get real: whether it’s a sweep or not, the Lakers are done; however, all it means now is that LBJ fanboys are going to try and find any MJ highlight they can where he’s missing a shot, committing a turnover, getting scored on, or whatever cause they have this misguided idea that it somehow elevates LBJ or diverts attention from the fact that he lost; according to their “savant” spokesperson Nick Wright, he already passed MJ a long time ago back in 2016, so if true why they trying so hard to cherry pick MJ highlights cause their “king” is being overthrown in the playoffs? All it serves to do is show how desperate they are to keep up this GOAT debate, which was never even real to begin with
GOAT debate. Lol. Don't really care much for Lebron. But just to clarify you do understand the definition of an opinion right ? So how can there be a debate at all ? When Lebron fans will simply pick Lebron and MJ fans will simply pick MJ.
“It’s just basketball at the end of the day” is the biggest bullshit excuse I’ve ever heard bro! This dude would be singing a very different tune if it was 2-1 but he knows he can’t beat them so now it’s “just basketball.” That’s like a lil kid who is mad about something but tries to hide it and says “I don’t even care” lol 😂😂
Lebrons career has truly been sad. When he was a rookie I as a Jordan fan thought lebron was going to be the best player of all time when its all said and done. He proved me wrong over and over again. 20 years later its easy to look at his career as a disappointment. No one has done less with more talent. A bulldozer who cannot be stopped from driving to the rack every play. Hes just not mentally built like that. His lack of toughness, leadership, and killer instinct has resulted in the biggest waste of talent we have ever seen. To quote a top 20 player of all time "its just basketball ".
Someone should make a highlight reel of LeBron's more than 5000 career turnovers with an over dubbing of him saying "I always make the right play *turnover clip* and repeat through all his career leading turnovers "I always make the right play" *another turnover* on down, he has absolutely no handles whatsoever. But he says he always makes the right play every time 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The guy who has the Chosen 1 tattooed on his back, got his wife to introduce him as the GOAT and has been using Klutch Sports and other media outlets to confirm that he is the GOAT, doesn't care about basketball and thinks it's just a game....... Yeah, I'm not buying it.
To be fir... the media was somewhat right. A 5th title this late in his career would change the MVP discussion at least a bit. BUT they never talked about his status IF he gets swept again... thats what I hate about the media. They only talk about what if everything works, never about the opposite. And they also never talk about it after James and the Lakers are out!
Wouldn't change anything since AD is the best player in the Lakers. He'll get a fifth title if he goes as free agent to Boston goes through the easy Eastern Conf. and plays a supporter role or whatever instead of starter. But no one will rate it. Jordan was the main guy in every ring win. And Pippen wasn't even close to him.
"It's just basketball" - LeBalco. That sums it all up. The dude is a billionaire from the game he destroyed....he has zero respect for the game or the men who came before him. Top 50, maybe. If not for basketball, nobody would have heard about LeFlop Le Choke ever.
Unfortunately this is what all big superstars do 99% of the time...they don't know when to call it quits...MJ had it perfect in 1998, then he decided to come back as well.
I actually disagree in hindsight. At the time I felt that he shouldn’t come back but what he shouldn’t have done was come back to a bottom feeder team like the Wizards. A team where he had to carry the load like that which I believe lead to his injuries. He should have joined a contender that was like one piece away. At his age and with his resume he earned that and no one was going to accuse him of ring chasing. He was one of 3 players averaging 25 5 and 5 before he had season ending knee surgery and had been playing even better prior to the injury. I believe he could have won another title if he had gone to a contender but we’ll never know.
Mike was getting 33m/yr in 98. He got involved in the front office for the wizards right after, then joined the team in 02 to boost it's image. He signed a 2 year 1m/yr contract just to get that value up... Too bad he had Kwame Brown as his big man. Got the 10th seed both years. Decent business move I guess.
@SuperSonic_868 I think that he is the richest sports player in the world, I was watching something on RU-vid a list of richest athletes! But I am not sure that it was right on,but it didn't surprise me either! His shoes and jersey have been among top sales for longest time and I think that he sold his ownership for a great profit, made 500 million just on that! I think that they quoted over 2 billion total!
@Ues2DC you are not thinking straight! MJ didn't have anything to prove, he broke records and carried Bulls to 6 rings, could have been 8 if not for Baseball! What he did was for profit, he made around 500 million when he cashed out his stock, he's one of if not the richest athlete on the planet! 2 billion and change!
MJ: "What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!" Kobe: "You always have to be on edge. You always have to take every practice, every game, like it is your last." Bird: "My coach told me, ""Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200."" And that drove me." Magic: "Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball." Bill Russell: "Heart in champions has to do with the depth of our motivation and how well your mind and body react to pressure - that is, being able to do what you do best under maximum pain and stress." LeFake: "Its just basketball..." Hey Queen. That mentality... is what keeps you from being an all-time great player.
Michael Jordan never won without Scottie holding his hand and KD was always stacking superteams on lebron hating on him if MJ played against KD and curry’s Golden state warriors he losing 4-0 everyone knows this. This page is full of lebron haters bums get off u knees Jordan don’t like u 🤣
What a phenomenal point you made about Kobe.. I never heard that story about him going out and performing in pain for the fans. There surely people in that crowed that may never get another chance to see Kobe play. That was there night. Thats enough to seriously make you miss the guy. What an incredible human. I just watched a bored film on him. His tenacity was the closest to Jorden we ever saw since. Kobe was so special.
AD looking like "it's just basketball?? Easy for you to say you don't get any blame. You got 4 rings I'm trying to get another one. Or my legacy gonna be letting yo old ass down." 😂😅
It's time for him to retire. If he has any honor and dignity left in his steroid-riddled body, he will retire and disappear from the public. We all know he won't do that, however.
honor and dignity left him in ‘07 after using Delonte West as a scapegoat. 2010 after the decision, 2011 when getting outplayed by Barrea. 2016 by kicking Draymond’s nut and pretending to get a seizure. 2017 by scapegoating Kevin Love, 2018 by throwing JR Smith under the buss, 2021 by scapegoating KCP etc…
Love him or hate him but he brings a level of drama & intrigue to the league. The reason the NBA hasn’t moved on is because there’s no replacement. Tatum, joker, Luka are all just basketball players. No desire to be the face of the league
It’s funny how the media has always said ”LeBron has no help” as an excuse. I thought the main goal of being the GOAT and best player was to carry your team to championships, not lose more than you win? And now most recently all these fans are blaming D’lo when Anthony Davis is leading the team in scoring while being the best defender.
@@gambitacio Oh yeah. LeBronze James needed an actual winner, Kobe Bryant, to join the team. Then it was smooth sailing in 2008. Spain was tough, but Kobe showed up like he always does.
@@mirrorportal1587 Spain was tough also because Pau and Marc Gasol were extremely passionate about their national team. They had that mental toughness, and team USA was losing in the 4th, LeBum started choking until Kobe was put back into the game. I will concede that sometimes you need luck, but without mental toughness, that luck is in vain.
All real Lakers fans know its time to move on from the real culprit, the narrative goat Lebron James. He is going to have Aaron Gordon PTSD for years 😅
@@dusty407 And...? He's put up the numbers but he's down 0 - 3 and missed multiple bunnies just last game. He hasn't outplayed Jokic but played well. Don't get carried away.
@@DammitBobby Watch how in first half they run plays, through mostly AD, keep staking Jokic 1 v 1 and easilt scoring.. Then in second half, Lebron starts playing PG and destroys the chemistry, AD barely getting half the touches and forced into making bad shots when he does get the ball. Also helps Denver was smart enough to change Joker onto others changing how Lakers attack on offense.. Lakers COULD adjust by continuing to run through AD... but they don't... no way can Lebron allow AD to keep on scoring knowing what the final scorecard will look like if they do.. This is same guy who rather throw the entire season to stop Wade getting finals MVP.
AD is averaging 5 more points on worse shooting splits than Jokić. He also has 3 times less assists than Jokić even though he has more turnovers than Jokić.
You will never be the greatest player of all time. You cry too much 😢, and he lies most of the time and always points the finger 👉 at coaches and teammates for team losses. So please ✋️ with all this 🐐 talk 😅
Kobe and Mike, two actual GOATs, would never in a billion years say they “make the right every every single time”. You can tell a lot about a person’s character from how they brag about themselves.
Right now LeBron is relatively secure as the second best player to ever do it, but once his rampant steroid abuse comes out who knows what will be left of his legacy.
I dont get how he just leap frogs Kobi in everyones mind. I wouldnt put him in top 5. Hes a generational talent, but hes also useless on D, flops, cries about everything, blames teammates when he fucks up, has to join super teams to get a ring. Just cause you play for 52 yrs doesnt make you the best. None of the greats act like him, which is why hes not one of the top for me.
