LeBron James is more Larry Holmes than Muhammad Ali - Rob Parker explains | THE HERD 

The bald guy that played for Chicago in the 90s

MJ but lebron is close to replace him

MJ

No one

MJ for now but LeBron will be once he retires

3DSDF rob Parker is dumb he's worst then skip bayless and I'm black

That's media narrative, they aren't gonna say lebron is gonna sweep everybody

3DSDF Fax

I had the cavs losing two games max in the entire east playoffs .... The cavs basically sleep walked through the entire regular season because they know the east is trash

+Frank Champion Or they knew that they're the best team in the East and the skill gap between them and the rest of the Conference is huge. If it weren't for the Rockets and Spurs, you would think that the West is trash as well due to GS sweeping teams as well.

LMFAO! Agreed

DLO BROWN W

DLO BROWN hahaha hold this L

He just makes dumb comments

They're really amping it up now

Yung G yea u can tell they fear everyone is turning on jordan. the pen is mightier than the sword.....they will keep drooling this way of thinking into everyone's head until lebron is seen as a mere role player lol. it's sad.

Yung G LeBron asked for this he called himself the chosen one and wore number 23

Los angeles Losers They give him credit but throw in subliminal shots. It's almost like they don't want to give him the credit and enjoy watching him succeed. They have also convinced everyone into believing that rings are the only thing that matter for a basketball player and diminish the individual talent to some extent.

danny 1 no SI called him the chosen one. He just ran with it.

Timothy Thomas well he didn't for years....

Sells illegal DRUGS !!!!

Timothy Thomas bc of his view of things, it's entertaining lolll

Honestly the same reason Skipp has a job. Shock value

Timothy Thomas cause he's a cornball brother

HAHA true lol

JOtrey7 Or not as bad as Whitlocks' "Lebron is the same as Donald Trump".

he has facts what you talking

no he speak facts how old r u ? be 4 I go in

AK740 facts. These haters always making up stupid reasons

AK740 W

AK740 W

its amazing.

Lebron is being criticized for winning too little. 3/7

I was wondering if anyone noticed. Lol The "Doug Gotlieb filling in for Colin on the Herd" guy is finally gone. He said that line every 30 secs

Bernard Keaton he's a comedian at this point.

Elite_RS Indeed....Needs to open up for Kevin Hart

Bernard Keaton W

I see why he got fired from ESPN

Hilarious 💀

HOW!?

Rodney Wilson hoooow, lebron is a nike puppet, ali stood up for the whole racial issues

cyber6sapien Lebron doesn't have the best record but he beat better competition

cyber6sapien Because Ali's record isn't the greatest. Larry's record is better than Ali's but nobody considers Larry better than Ali. Ali is still considered the GOAT but his record wasn't actually all too great compared to others. I've read the article and I think his anology actually backfires on him. Boxing proves that the best record doesnt mean your automatically better, which strengthens the case that LeBron can be considered the GOAT even though MJ has a better finals record.

contradicts himself by talking about how mj beat 39 HOF players in playoffs then says how irrelevant any HOF is other than baseball

kefkapalazzo1 39 hall of famers. When the argument of greatest of all time comes up, it has to be Jordan. Best player of alltime then you can say Lebron, but you have to make sure that when you say that you acknowledge that the NBA has gotten better over time. This is due to advancements in rules, training, and recovery.

kefkapalazzo1 39 HOFamers is overrated?? 😂😂😂😂 you lebron stans are pathetic

kefkapalazzo1 Jordan beat 20 teams that had 50+ wins in 15 seasons played, LeBron has only beaten 10 in 14 seasons played so how is that overrated?

72-10 in the regular season. 16-3 in the playoffs isn't that a cake walk?

hector cervantes in the east or overall?

log off

Zac B no, at no point chicago was down in those series....

The point is that every team that wins a series catches a few breaks along their way. There's no point in playing what ifs

Zac B lmao, true that, and 2007 barely counts Lebron was like 24 smh

Zac B 2010 is the only time I don't argue, Lebron didn't do well at all there.

Jordan is not a lot better than LeBron. Better but not by a lot and LeBron surpassed Kobe years ago.

What about Derrick Rose's Bulls or the 60 win Hawks with four All Stars on their team that year or Dwight Howard's Magic. Or like you mention the Celtics with the big three and the Pacers.

The raptors won 50+ games the last 3 years and have the same record as the cavs just because they got swept doesn't mean their greatness is less, stop hating the jazz would get swept and the rockets would all still lose to the cavs so the road to the finals for lebron would be the same if you swapped them with gsw

User Name lebron can elevate his game higher competition is high quality lebron is on another level though

User Name the only reason the raptors are considered a joke is because they are in Toronto. If they played in New York, you wouldn't say that. If Ewings Knicks played in Toronto, the same would have been said. We take big city sports team more seriously and will say that at least they played tough, but if you're a sports team from a market other than Chicago, New York, Boston then we call you weak even if you have the same results. It's media propaganda. The national media is located in those huge cities and have more say.

No one thought the Hawks could beat the Cavaliers, or even come close. They didn't have anyone.

Thank you!!

Cant put a team together if lebron keeps joining up with EVERY damn all star in the league

Tre Jackson TRUTH, plain and simple.....

Because it's all bias Rob Parker and Skip and other like them will always have a "But" they will never acknowledge the teams the warriors play its always about "how can we diminish LeBrons Greatness" it's rather comical than annoying at this point.

Rodney Wilson FAXXXX

Rodney Wilson na they choose to dismiss what he has accomplished and say he has great teams. hall of fame players. I guess everyone forgot Spurs is a Dynasty. They all thought Dwight Howard would be great. Detroit pistons starting 5 could all be Hall of Famers. Derrick Rose MVP. I guess Dallas was not a good team in the West. OKC was not a good either then. GS wasnt so called the next ''Showtime Lakers'' lol ..I dont get it ..Where has LeBron had it easy ???

Grizz only took 1 game off the Raps and Celts combined, in the regular season.

Just listen to DeRozen and Lowry after the series. They are not saying "our team stinks, we need to get better" They literally flat out said.. if we had LeBron on our team we would have won PERIOD. LeBron is destroying teams and instead of being able to comprehend what we are seeing, people sit back and say "oh those teams are trash, this is a cake walk". The Toronto Raptors finished 51-31 (same record as the defending NBA champions) and now we call them trash and its a cake walk. Literally less than two months ago writers were talking about the Raptors beating the Cavs in 6. LeBron is DESTROYING everyone

Jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs without Pippen we just gonna ignore that???? Jordan couldn't carry a franchise on his back by himself to save his life. LeBron took the trash 2007 Cavs to the finals by himself. And people just seem to ignore that fact. All people talk about is LeBron's losing finals record. When the fact of the matter is most of those losses weren't even his fault.

East weak asf he got 4 finals too

yes less deflect blame off the best player on the team that made it to the finals and that is why ppl will forever have ammo against Lebron lol.

3 of 5 lmao

The End Is Near how did Cleveland do lebrons first two yrs

HAHAHAH

Rodney Wilson. Just stating facts. Can you prove where I lied? Is the east weak? By being weak, is there an easy road to the finals each yr in said WEAK EAST? Is there a offensive system, or does lbj hold the ball 90% of every possession? Did he pass the ball to Hill as opposed to taking the smaller STEPH? Are guys like Klove and kyrie playing oit of position to cater to LEBRON system of padding stats? Kevin love was a post God, kyrie was mad to set guys up and score, not just play 1 on 1 when bron doesn't. Did he fold against dallas who only had dirk? Did he leave yet another team to join up with established stars? Did he not choose his team? Why bash those that you picked? Is he 3-6 in the finals? Just questions. I'm fine.

omegadelta phoenix have you ever played basketball?

He did not beat them until there was a suspension and 3 players injured. Over half of Lebron's playoff opponents have under 50 wins. 75% of MJ's have over 50 wins.

Every team outside of the cavs in the eastern conference would not get out of the first round if they were in the west (Assuming blake griffin was healthy). People always bring up LeBron getting to the finals in 07, that is the only time in NBA history a team didn't face a team above .500 to get to the conference finals. He beat the pistons which were a good team and then got swept by the spurs where LeBron played horrible in the finals....nobody said the teams in the finals were weak so why did you bring that up lol He clearly stated that the road to the finals is weak (eastern Conference) and once LeBron plays other great teams from the west he is below .500

so if in 2015 Cavs could have beaten golden State warriors if love and Kyrie were not injured then warriors could have defeated them last year if the 73-9 win team starters played a game together after game 4

simple as tht

Not a fan of jordan but he was on a team that won 72 wins and actually won a championship.....

The NBA fed lebron that championship and you know it.

SPOON FED CHAMPIONSHIP

Klay and Dray are good, but not superstars. Try again.

not to mention he 3 peated twice lebron is 3 an 4 in the finals... and lost to the same team the yr before to the team he beat with 73 wins.... oh yeah hes been swept in the finals... not MJ 2 3 peats... only interrupted by retirement....

Greg Rubin indeed

Elite_RS green is not going into the HOF def steph and maybe clay

Greg Rubin according lebron regular seasons doesnt matter anymore

In a series tarnished with a Draymond suspension and a Bogut Injury..With both teams healthy the Warriors had been dominating and had control of the series

yeah like gsw championship was legit without kyrie and love, lol and he does not mention the other 2 games in which draymond played , lebron took 2 games from gsw without love and kyrie

2015 cavs shoulda won no doubt but last year warriors should have won but bogut and igueodalla were injured and draymond got suspended the 73-9 win team starters never played after game 4

these last two finals were decided be injuries rather thn greatness

RDstar Gaming jordan didnt have a cake walk..

RDstar Gaming compare the tv ratings

Jordan wins though

Could be 4-3 and 5-2 as well

I didn't ever mention LeBron calm down.

Jordan and the bulls beat them in 91, so they weren't in their prime anymore after they won the championship in 1989 and 1990?? Oh my goodness.. Wow...

Really? I hear the exact opposite...it literally took the biggest collapse in NBA finals history by a superstar for people to really go in on LeBron. Every other time he lost I heard his teammates get the blame.

Kevin Flowers people are either on one end of the extreme or the other (although in some cases both extremes can be correct i.e. 2011 for the haters and 2014 and 2015 for the fans). He either gets all of the credit and none of the blame or none of the credit and all of the blame. There is no middle ground anymore on either side.

wow, great points!

u don't sound like a warrior fan

anas alam how so? bc I can respect the greatness of lebron James?

nah not cause of tht

and I am really not in a mood for argument

Raquai Johenkins OMG!! Thank you! I've been saying that for the past 2 days. LBJ's competition is still playing. They just leave out the history that LBJ won against Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. How many of them won't eventually be HOF's? These critics have selective memory.

Nylle23 T-Mac, Kobe, KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, D-Wade, Shaq, Billups, Iverson, Melo, Steph, Parker, Duncan, Ginobli, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter to name a few of the future HOFers that LeBron has played with and/or against.

Of course it's easier to count the HOFers from Jordan's time, They've been retired for years. That's such a silly argument and of course it came from Skip Bayless.

Nylle23 Draymond, Klay, and Stephen aren't HOFers

He didn't say they were.

Trey Hull why would anyone ever thank Rob Parker............

Trey Hull lol COLIN destroyed this guy. Delusional

lmao on this topic he's bringing up some FACTS. everything else I agree

Trey Hull the only way you can agree with this is if Colin's points are going in one ear and out the other like they are with this dipshit

it didnt really get easy till his last year in miami, and 2016. 2011-13, 2015 he had to face stacked boston/nets(pretty much the same team in different years), pacers, bulls (when rose played). and in the finals he had arguably worse teams than his western match up (not dallas).

JOtrey7 true but the last few years is literally a joke. Atleast the warriors were down 3-1 last year and go up against the stars of the league. Most of the star/superstar players are in the west.

JOtrey7 and a stacked Knicks team 1 yr also

MichaelC3 72-10 in the regular season. 16-3 in the playoffs isn't that a cake walk?

Jason A lebron didn't play the Knicks in 2013 the only year they were good. Best teams he's played in the east were, Celtics, pacers, pistons, bulls. Only all time great team there is Celtics. Pistons were old at the time.

Robin sod I'm from chicago only good player was rose the rest of the team was 👌.

I can tell you have good Basketball IQ. I consign your comment!

Dude what I remember was labron went to Miami to win a ring

Storm Shadow, yup, for sure coz the Cavs wouldn't give him adequate support to compete for a title. Cavs got Shaq when he was on his 18th year & still expected him to be that productive??????? LBJ did what was best for him to win & winning back2back titles proved to everyone that he made the right decision !!!

Okc was not favored to win that series against the heat

LOL he doesn't acknowledge on whyyy the warriors choke. you don't just choke for no reason you choke cuz the opposition is putting pressure on you hence lebron and kyrie. yea lebron can be 1-6 but lets ignore his 2 finals losses that don't count. i can say the same thing "LeBron can easilybe 4-2" if he woulda lost to the pistons in 2007 and had kyrie in 2015 LOL these guys only make the narrative to fit what they want but with there wouldas and shouldves but don't acknowledge the different outcomes also

Uncle Drew23 Exactly

Jordan's average Finals opponent : 61.2 wins LeBron's averaged Finals opponent : 61.9 wins So LeBron's "vastly" superior Finals competition is about 0.7 games better over an 82 game season. AKA 0.8% better. Wow ... how impressive ...

Uncle Drew23 yes it does even if it doesn't count he now has a 3-3 record

Trey Hull not even close Colin son. PARKER

not really. he speaks in hypotheticals and no facts. he says lebron should be 1-6 in the finals when realistically 2007 and 2015 really don't count. so it can go either way but he wants to make fit the narrative the way he likes it. completely bias

no, he pretty much use the same reason to diss lebron while using the same reason to boost MJ. notice how he never bring up MJ never beat them in the 80s, notice how never spoke about the Expansion, notice how he tried to evade teams were old, notice how he didnt want to bring up how the NBA as a whole was weak, and notice how he tried to say one good player in a team pose a challenge to the Stack Bulls. No...he made a joke of himself. i can bring a better Argument with Valid points on why MJ is better than Lebron or vice versa. hint the argument is not about who they faced because MJ faced no one during the 90s and lebron only face good teams in his first 5 finals runs and only in the finals after that. it doesnt matter how you want to angle it Lebron Greatness or MJ greatness. note this KD didnt come to the east because of lebron, PG is thinking of leaving the east because of Lebron, Lawly said he wants to go to the West and that is because of Lebron. Teams didnt trade to get PG, Camelo, or jimmy because they rather wait for lebron to get old than to face them. Teams Fear Lebron the same way Teams Feared MJ in the 90s. they rather wait for them to leave than to try and beat them. aka what the Bulls are in the 90s is the same as GSW of today if there were no spurs/Cavs they needed to face.

he is boosting mj people unfortuntley people either tear jordan down or lebron down lml

Facts

LeBron also lost to the Mavs who were far worse than any team Jordan faced in the Finals.

WhateverReally No not "Far" worse than Portland, and not much too far off of the Supersonics, neither were great, or even really good teams, while I'll give you that those Mavericks were probably the worst of the 3

TitanKiller that is blasphemy about how you say the Seattle SuperSonics, weren’t that great. In a defensive point guard/ scoring point guard in Gary Payton, and a power Forward slam dunker like todays Blake Griffin compared to Shawn Kemp. And plus 60 win Regular Season, Seattle team that went to finals against a 70 + win team in the Bulls, Ain’t that bad.

Dont discredit what Dirk did in that run for the Mavs. The dude had probably the best stretch in his career and maybe of the modern era. Dude was absolutely unstoppable.

JEWELLEEUS the Jordan bulls never lost a series that they were suppose to win

trevion sewell Then people should stop bringing up Lebron losing in the finals like it's worse than losing in the first round. People always say a 3-4 finals record like it's something to be ashamed of. Lebron might as well have just lost in the first round this year bc there's no team in NBA history that would have a chance against these Warriors

86 Celtics were trash, they only had bird mcha..... ill stop myself

trevion sewell he lost to every great team and could only get by teams once he got help. Born went to the finals on his own. Michael really isn't too far ahead of bron. Why are you so stuck to MJ instead of enjoying the history bron is making

NY KNICKS no I will not stop bringing up him losing in the finals Lebron scored 8 points in a finals game and got outplayed by Jason terry Michael Jordan was going up against some of the greatest teams ever with no help and averaging 40 points a game in the playoffs it's a big difference

So who brought in black sip Baylee's

Baby Goat dumbest comment ever Michael Jordan is easily better

4 finals losses

Glo'ed Up Yea because losing in the first round is more impressive than losing in the finals.

Torrez Finney How?

fuddyduddie1 MJ had a great team. He could never lead an underdeveloped team like Lebron. Lebron has better stats besides scoring.

Ram Martin lol way to yell and stick your head in the sand, intelligence at its finest

cornball brothers stick together.
