Oh man. I'm expecting some good discussion in the top 100 project. Not wasting my life on the GB. Yes I post there but I'm not that regular and I don't plan to be.

The GB is actually worse than r/NBA. The only place where I can read (mostly) high quality basketball discussion on the entire internet is this board. Don't even know how I found it but I'm so happy I did.

Well it comes with the internet giving a voice to everyone and people just wanting to go with the trend. Somehow in the internet it's fun to talk **** about LeBron. Meh it is what it is.

Lol ESPN's crew of old head clowns immediately goes to "yeah he's still not MJ." They're so **** shook

Exactly what I expected from Bron. What an amazing player, there are no words. He’s the greatest of all time.

I'm so happy for Dwight

They just won it all with KCP as their 3rd leading playoff scorer

What a duo

I swear for half of them and I know it's the case for Stephen A, they just don't want to be cut from MJ's life like he did to Barkley for criticizing him.

This is a sweet moment. Think of where we were when the pandemic started. We thought the season was over and Lebron had another wasted year. Not too mention that Jordan propaganda documentary that came out. It looked bleak. Look where we at now!

NBA's media constant comparing with the past is just ridiculous and does the sport big diservice

Jason Kidd v2.0

I'm convinced he was using a stunt double in the regular season

Then people wonder why ratings are lower. When even your announcers can't enjoy the moment of LeBron's glory without trying to bash him...

Oh well.

Love the cast of characters that won this ring. Dwight and Rondo winning a title with Bron is something I would have never expected. Happy to see Dudley win a championship too.

What's wrong with that? I personally still have MJ as the goat with as much respect and admiration i have for what LeBron's accomplished. Admittedly their criteria is more narrative based than mine and probably yours, but it certainly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point how old players weigh things.

I’m tired of the Jordan stuff. I saw both. I’m fine with whoever you want to take for prime but Lebron has had the better career, and ultimately will reign as the consensus GOAT because time is on his side. Jordan only gets more distant with time. We aren’t going to compare the next wave of stars to Jordan anymore. They’re going to be compared to Lebron.

McBubbles · Post #1396 » by **McBubbles** » Mon Oct 12, 2020 2:51 am

Weird thing is I'm not hyped at all. I think all my energy went into expecting them to win Game 5 in a story book fashion. 5-5-5-5, Black Mamba Jerseys, 40pt game from LeBron, etc. When the Lakers lost I was **** pissed.

But now they've won I'm like "meh". Hopefully the euphoria hits me later haha.

4th ring and 4th Finals MVP for Lebron though, now a Lakers great. He deserved this after the soul crushing gauntlet that was the 2015-2018 Warriors. Woop woop. Keep the memes comin Thanos.

Or they could just think MJ is better?

Don't really think it's that deep. There's media people who think Lebron is better.

I feel like Bron is still gonna be an Mvp candidate at 40. He didnt slow down or look tired at all in game 6 of the finals

I don't think people need GOAT conversation 15 minutes after the Finals ended. Fans want to enjoy this moment and this team. Let them celebrate for christ's sake
