elgin Baylor , oscar robertson, are two guys I can think of that would have done better if they were in this era. not to mention. other savages like, . bill russle. wilt chamberlain. nate Thurman,.. jerry west remind some allot of LeBron James imho as far as mental fortitude but jerry pushed thru it all.. didnt quit and move teams or teammates

lebron is great dont get me wrong. and he would fit into any era and be a fan favorite.. Burt he isn't overall better than at least 20 players..his accomplishments are grand. and his longevity is why his resume looks good but if you dig deeper you begin to not like this player for a number of reasons and that hurts his legacy

drop lebron into the 60's.. he would have been an overlooked and underrated player perhaps lower on the list than elgin. in fact its likely high af of a chance

Regardless of your stance on LeBron, the reality is that he belongs firmly inside anyone's top five list.

The all-time leading regular season and playoff scorer with 4 FMVPs, 4 MVPs, and 19 all-nba selections is a fringe top 10 player lmfao. LeBron hate is an illness.



he is an all time great just by the numbers and longevity.. he may have the best resume you le deck lick...but to be the greatest player of all time is a way different story pal

ill go ahead and say it now when it comes to overall greatness. rodman and pippen are close to lebron on the list. although I havent made it. yet. and in all time playoff performance lebron may or may not be top ten. wilt, russle, bird, are all greater than lebron imho..personaly I have lebron at number 3 all time just bc he is one of my favorite players. but he has **** up way too much to be better than mj..and he hasn't faced enough hate and prejudice and conflict as wilt chamberlain. lebron took down a giant in the warriors. wilt took down the greatest giant of all time ALSO WILT FACEd A HATEFUL MEDIA AND LIES THAT Have shaped his legacy by default and wilt is TO THIS DAY OVERCOMING THAT. lebron came back from 3-1 well although it wasn't the finals wilt has done that too..mj or lebron is the convo. but in real life the smartest people and most knowledgeable just cant put lebron above many players..the 60s era was a tough era in the grittiest sense. that counts for something

At this rate, I think the Warriors will actually make back to the finals. I don't trust the Nuggets or the Suns will put together consistent performances over a 7 game series to defeat a Warriors given that a lot of guys on this team can go off on any given night and neither team is good enough when it comes to perimeter defense to slow down Curry or Klay Thompson. Should the Warriors make it back to the finals, this will Stephen Curry 2nd year in a row he been to a finals appearance post Kevin Durant and his 7th finals appearance overall.

Lebron doesn't allow 3-1 comeback like Curry did.

Lebron has been more dominant against Curry and been able to beat him when you could expect him to but the same can't be said for Curry vs Lebron

Yeah when Curry gets KD back, Kyrie off the bench and Denver/Dallas trades Jokic and Luka to GS... Won't hear the end of how Curry owns LeBron

Y'all are silly for arguing this kind of stuff. No one serious think Steph is on Lebron's level, and that's not a knock on Steph.
