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

You’re arguing the semantics of a bad game. All great players have had bad games.Mike didn't score 8 points in a finals game though
Wade outplayed LeBron that series which shouldn't have been the case
I know one series doesn't define your career but when you have a 3-9 finals record, you can't claim GOAT status. Especially compared to a player that has gone 6-6 in finals and has better playoff stats as well
Of his finals losses outside of 2011, when should have his teams won? You make it seem like it’s better to not make the playoffs or lose in the first round.
And got two of his rings when the Pistons were busting MJ and the Bulls’ ass. But since he’s white and going against MJ his opinion is invalid.Laimbeer was a 4 time all star and y’all acting like his opinion don’t count.
LeBron is the goat to me. He would have won way more chips had the warriors not form an unbeatable teams with KD.
DUDE PLAYED HIS ENTIRE PRIME ON HAND PICKED SUPERTEAMS AND YOURE THROWIN OUT WHAT IF SCENERIOS? LMAO
WHAT IF HE PLAYED HALF HIS PRIME ON SCRUB TEAMS AND THE OTHER HALF ON TEAMS WHERE PAU GASOL WAS HIS SECOND OPTION......
THAT PART

That's another "only for LeBron" thing that persists on here. Only for him is making The Finals a negative, losing to superior teams is only a negative for him, shoulda lost in the 1st Rd...
The only Finals LeBron ever played in where his team was favored was 2011 and 2013. But he's the only GOAT tier player expected to be able to have a winning record versus dynasties....

Lies. Stop the unnecessary
Bringing up the Lakers and KG has no relations to this topic, you’re just trying to solidify your weak stance with unneeded bs. They explained why they walked off the way they did, it’s a whole 30 for 30 episode explaining why. And John Salley explained too, had nothing to do with being salty. They just did what Boston did to them in 88.
So cause Boston did it you think it makes it any less bytchmade? That was a real lame attempt at justifying their hoeish movements...Salley always trying to subtly takes shots a Mike anyway...seen him hint that the marketing is why he’s seen as the greatest

LeBron made his first All-Star Game and All-NBA appearance in 2005; he played his first 7 years in Cleveland which to date is still over 40% of his career, without a teammate even close to the caliber of Gasol; I think it's safe to say he wasn't playing his entire prime on superteams...
This brought up something I've never really seen anybody define here, what exactly do you consider to be Bron's prime?
You guys use these vague "they" determinations, but what Bron fan on here has said they don't like Steph or KD?
NO ITS NOT SAFE, LEBRON GOT TO MIAMI AT AGE 26, AND HIS PRIME REALISTICALLY STARTED AT AGE 27, HIS SECOND SEASON THERE.....
HIS TEAMS IN CLEVELAND WERE WELL ROUNDED DEFENSIVE JUGGERNAUTS THO.
The battles were intense and dirty. No matter who won, there's no love lost between any of the players on those teams.
Combine that with MJ being the best player at the time, getting all the praise and all the attention during those series PLUS the fact the Bulls finally did beat them and that DET core never sniffed an NBA Finals appearance again, it's not absurd to think some of the Pistons harbor resentment.
I'm talking about the finals though. Where it matters the most. LeBron got outplayed by Wade the whole series. Not just 8 point game 4 from LeBron where they lost
When you're self proclaimed to be the best player in the world all those years then your team should win every year. Mike did it
All those years LeBron was in Miami he was definitely supposed to win chips all 4 years he was there. Did you forget?

When do you consider his prime to have ended?
You still talking about 2011. And I gave you that.I'm talking about the finals though. Where it matters the most. LeBron got outplayed by Wade the whole series. Not just 8 point game 4 from LeBron where they lost

All those years LeBron was in Miami he was definitely supposed to win chips all 4 years he was there. Did you forget?
What about when he led the takedown of a 73 win team? Or does that no matter.
HIS LAST SEASON IN CLEVELAND WAS WHEN HIS PRIME WAS WINDIN DOWN
