TheBestFighter were just fans of the man, LeBron haters and the people calling him LeChoke or childish nicknames are the real bron sexuals 😂 were just watching y’all riding his meat always tryna hate just wait till next year
TheBestFighter WTF kind of troll are you ? You are just strolling old videos hating ? LeBron is and has been a HOF for ten years , as well as a top five player ever ....
4 Rings 4 FMVPs 10 Finals appearances 34k points 9.4k rebounds 9.4k assists All-star selections are subjective, All-NBA/All-defensive selections are objective. When LeBron had 1 All-NBA teammate on his roster, he won the Finals (2012, 2013, 2016, 2020). LeBron never had an All-defensive teammate until Anthony Davis.
I agree with the numbers but you going back to current even vs at the time of the debate. To different argument.. he's a first ballot but Skip judge LeBron on MJ level.
@@traepatterson351 you idiots swear these basketball stars are not human. they grow old just like every other pleb you regard. replace the g with a t please.
Its amazing how Skip made a career out of criticizing LeBron. For a whole decade now, Skip has been living off of that man's failures. It's honestly quite amazing.
Lebron was a Hall Of Famer even before he left Cleveland.. He was a Hall Of famer after his 6th year... No debate about it.. He was a top 20 player all time after his six season
ROLANDA B People are projecting what Lebron's career could be based on how talented he is. MJ didnt have his second 3-peat until his 30s which is where Lebron is at now. It's possible but overcoming the healthy Western Conference contenders would be a hell of a lot more challenging than the teams the Bulls had to face in their second 3 peat.
Mind Elevation r u on crack? He wasn't a top 25 all time player until his second championship, now, he's fighting for a top 5 spot, but all this drama rn with Cleveland isn't helping his case.
Nathaniel Register tbh skip was actually right I watched that game 6 he had 9 turnovers to go along with his triple double . Yeahh his numbers were good but it didn't nearly have the impact SAS trying to say it did .. if yu actually that game then yk his triple double actually tell the whole story
Skip doesn’t defend LeBron for losing to the San Antonio Spurs because he thinks they are old and not the same team but he gives Jordan all the praise for beating the Pistons who WERE OLD
Skip is clearly nuts here but it’s a myth Pistons were old. They were just done and the Bulls finally were able to match them mentally and physically. Isiah was 29, Dumars was 27, Rodman was 29, Laimbeer was 31, Aguirre was 31, and Sally was 26.
10 years later Now he’s a 4 time champ and 4 time Finals MVP,4 time seasons MVP,19 All Star appearance,averaged a triple Double in the Finals,carried the 2007 Cavs to the Finals with no other All Star,Beat a Pistons team in the playoffs that shut Down Kobe and Shaq in Finals,3-1 Comeback in The Finals against a great Warriors team that Went 73-9 + chase down block,about to Pass Kareem on the scoring list and Still the best player on his team in year 20. What a career
@@Marcus-ge5lw This is such a hater, cope take. AD has never been, at any point, better than bron on the lakers and theres literally no reason to suggest so.
Palrath1 nah skip use to vouch for Kobe maybe recent years in his decline he would critique him but for the most part he thought Kobe was the best in the nba till like 2012
2012: "Averaging 27-7-7 over a career are god-like numbers. Undoubtedly a first-ballot HOFer" 2023: *Averages 29-8-7 over 20 seasons, and gets 4 rings and FMVPs in the meantime*
@@Rod_Dav36 I'm not rounding up a 7.3 assists. Statistically speaking, a 7.3 average is saying, "On any given night, you can expect 7 assists, but 30% of the time, he'll get 8 assists." Therefore, he usually gets 7. If it were 7.6 or something, I'd agree with you.
7 years later... 8 straight finals, didn’t miss playoffs from 2005-2019, comes back from 3-1 lead to where KD was needed to stop him, 3 rings 4 mvps, and now in MVP conversation at 35 yrs old. Is he 1st ballot hall of fame now Skip?
djrowe 021305 I hear you. But this video was talking about LeBrons performance before any of that. You can’t blame Skip for being unable to predict the future..
Shawn Smith I understand what your saying, but then Cleveland wasn’t doing anything to help LeBron out. Now he should’ve won that series against Dallas, but he was getting used to his new teammates and team.
@@gianmagrine3947 So you expect LeBron to beat that spurs team in 2007 with no help , the warriors in 2015 with no help, and another warriors team with KD on the roster in 2017-2018? Thats 4 nba finals that there was no chance of him winning
@@FlexSZN23 glad you’re so in support of a known controversy baiting fuckhead. He literally published a book in the 90s and in it claimed that the Cowboys’ quarterback was gay. It was untrue and unfounded, and he simply did this to further his own career with no regard for anyone else. Recently he said, after Dak Prescott lost his mother to COVID and was talking about his depression, that he has no sympathy for him and he isn’t allowed to be affected by that. Skip is a deplorable human being and anyone with any common sense knows he’s nothing more than a man who will stop at nothing, not controversy, not immorality, not ruining other people’s lives, to reach an audience and get paid. So tell me again how this man “speaks the truth”?
@@rasharbanks1392 bro what everyone gets on his case for high turnover games.. like they do for every top star no one gets excused idk what you're talkin ab..
Lebron was held to the standards of the greatest players ever from the moment he was drafted and is STILL playing at an all time elite level, carving out his GOAT statue.
for me, the greatest players ever are jordan, kareem and lebron (maybe magic too). the reason is because this: these are probably the only three players in history who could win a scoring title and also win defensive player of the year in the same season. jordan already did it, not sure about kareem, but lebron could easily do it. i think when you look at overall talent, lebron is probably the greatest we have ever seen. i dont put him above jordan, but in terms of being able to PLAY BASKETBALL.... nobody can do that better than lebron james. he is basically a mould of magic, dr j and michael jordan... probably the three most iconic figures in nba history. michael jordan is the greatest basketballer who has and probably will ever live, but lebron is the most rounded player the game has ever seen, its that simple. hes arguably the greatest athlete in the history of sports, can shoot with the best (when hes on), a good rebounder, exceptional passer, unbelievable defender (1-5), now hes becoming a great closer... there is honestly not a single facet of his game that you can say is poor. thats why i put him on the level of michael, kareem and magic. i dont know, maybe hes not above any of them.... but you cant deny that he is probably the most talented ever
@@w_out7631 he is not top 2 he has a 4-6 finals record and the most turnovers in NBA history lebron scoring is due to longevity and the fact he spends so much money on his body lebron and lebron is 7-28 for go ahead shots to win the game so he’s not clutch
Its been 9 years and the only new material Skip added is; Ray Allen saved LeBrons legacy Bicycle built for 2 Guy gets played $8 million a year to recite lines he made up a decade ago. Must be nice.
To be fair, this was many, many years ago and before he even won his first championship. Although, even then it wasn't really a very sound debate either.
35,000 Points (3rd all time) #8 in assists all time, and #15 all time in steals, not to mention 4 League MVPs and 4 NBA Finals MVPs. He is going to finish his career with 40,000 points 12,000 assists 12,000 rebounds 2,400 steals and 1,000+ blocks. If those aren't hall of fame numbers then I don't what is.
4 finals wins, 10 finals appearances, 8 finals in a row, greatest peak of all time since this came out lol. Watching peak Miami Lebron play is like watching an unstoppable force run through walls.
You're exactly right. Skip gave LeBron very little credit for winning his 1st ring outside of a slow and deliberate clap that was oozing with sarcasm. LeBron put up one of the dominant performances in NBA history throughout the entire playoffs. Hollinger of ESPN ranks it as one of the top 5 playoff runs of all-time, yet Skip still tried to give D-Wade and the role players the credit for beating OKC. Skip even credited himself by saying that LeBron won his ring b/c he finally listened to him.
I learned long time ago that no matter what u do some ppl just aren't impressed. They would talk bad about u whenever they can a will never offer congrats without trepidation.
