Bill Laimbeer says "LeBron is the GOAT" (First Take)

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Arsenio Hall show, 1990
8:35 mark



"I don't say anything derogatory to any player.....except for maybe laimbeer, but everyone can understand that. He's a very dirty player. He can't jump. He can't block shots. He can't block my shot. So he has to play dirty and try to injure you."

A HONKEY AND A MJ HATER

2 FOR 2

COLOR ME SHOCKED

Don't do that, white people exalt MJ more than anybody. It took white money via Nike and other branding to push MJ's image globally, the white owned media corporations are the ones who ran with and expanded the "Jordan is GOAT" narrative...

White people are the reason that narrative is still so strong today, talk to any random honkies that are basketball heads and the vast majority of them will tell you Mike is the GOAT; really the only pushback to Mike being the GOAT comes from black fans of other guys (Bean, Bron, Cap, etc). Crackers throw Russell in there every blue moon but they love Jordan's PC-friendly black ass, there would be no Jordan lovefest without the amount of cacs that love this dude...

^lebrons groupies are so bitter and angry they hate kahwi,Jordan, Kobe anybody considered equal or better than that stiff ass nikka

The dude who laid an egg on the biggest stage in basketball ain’t no goat

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

LeBron is the goat to me. He would have won way more chips had the warriors not form an unbeatable teams with KD .

 

[NYC Rebel]

Because the bulls swept them and humiliated those dudes to the point of them walking off the floor. That bitterness will never go awayt

Yet the wins and beating them more than losing does? Knowing no one else can say that?

The resulting two ships does?


You guys are just outright dumb.

You need clarity, so here it is. I don't hate any of the players you named. I don't dislike that other people favor those guys...

You do realize that it's possible to be a fan of a sport and be a fan of multiple players, right? Didn't see Jordan play so I don't have an emotional attachment to him but I love the other guys. LeBron is my favorite player, that in no way means i dislike other guys. You do get that, right?

Only guys I don't really like are guys like Wade, Carter, a few others...

 

[No Hook]

The guy that scored 8 points in a finals game and 17.8 pts in a final series is the goat?

You been drinking again playa? Every player has weaknesses, every player including Jordan. I don't know how you say the shyt you say on the board with a straight face unless you just like to lie. You a liar nikka?

the pistons never swept the bulls in the playoffs despite the gap being bigger than it was in 1991. Big brother will never give little brother any credit when its his turn to shine. Again in my first response i said they would never give them props its just how it is. That's when you know it was a real rivalry and you didn't like your opponent. The pistons were cheated out of a ring but during their run the bulls gave them their toughest competition i'm talking 88-91.

Three-point shooting
Early on, passing. He pass when he wanted to, but if you let him beat you, you can beat his teams before Phil Jackson
Constantly attack him 1v1 with an excellent scorer and put a great defender to wear him down. It not extremely effective but MJ is not a pass-first player.
He forces him to shoot in zones where he's not so comfortable with the zone defense. Obviously, this is extremely hard to do in the 80's since the NBA banned all of the effective defenses in that era but in the modern NBA, you can clearly scheme him.
He carries all of the time and is always palming the ball with his dribbling.
Off the ball on offense wasn't his strength especially outside of the triangle.
Force him to play man defense. I know it's impossible if you don't have three scoring options on the perimeter but when they did have that in the 80's, MJ had to defend. You want to force him to defend, he didn't live close to the healthiest lifestyle at that time.

He need to let that damn grudge against MJ go

Laimbeer beat MJ...

He beat him multiple times.. What is the grudge? Those series with the Pistons Bulls were brutal and sometimes that shyt doesn’t go away but he beat him..

They beat MJ a lot..

 

[NYC Rebel]

But they're not, so what does that tell you? The Bulls stopped their 3peat and went on to win 6 championships.

the Pistons weren't favored to get a threepeat. They finished second in the east that year. The Pistons won their least amount of games in 6 seasons that season. Bulls didn't stop shyt that wasn't going to happen.

I see his brain hasn’t heal from that Robert Parrish beating

Actions speak louder than words ,Hard to believe when all I see is mad posts from you throwing shots at Lebron peers.
