You're right LeBron is treated differently, held to a different standard. Nobody was calling Kobe, Jordan, Shaq etc, top 5-10 players in the end. I believe Kobe was outside of the top 30 in rankings.
The problem with you LeBron dikksuccks is yall claim he's top 5, but then when we point out his flaws it's well he's 40, what do you expect? the same thing I expect from every top 5 player. He's top 5 when it's convenient, he's old when it's convenient. Yall need to pick a position and stay there. Yall also like to petend like Mailman wasn't playing at a high level at 39/40. LeBron and Mailman were blessed with health unlike the others. Truth be told LeBron is not top 5 or 10 in the league, he's barely top 10 of nikkas 35 or older.
I’d just like to point out that last lil bit there is outrageously cap…Hoop Collective did a podcast the other day discussing the best current players at each age , and it really put into perspective how very few older players are even still in the league…
there are only 19 players in the NBA who are 31
only seven who are 33
The are like 23 players give or take 35 and above currently in the league…
five who are 35 - Jimmy Butler, Derozen, Harden notably
Eight at 36 - curry and Durant notably
three who are 37 - Conley, James Johnson and Joe Ingles
4 at 38 - Horford, Jeff Green, Garret Temple, Lowry
two who are 39 - CP3 and Taj Gibson
Bron at 40
I’d argue the only serious debate would be Steph and KD as better 35+….and you’d have to go all the way to a healthy Kawhi at 33 and AD at 31 to add more names into the conversation of being better than current Bron
