Nikka please ‘09 LeBron was his peak athleticism and he was doing all that with absurd athleticism and ridiculous rangeMy favorite version of Bron was always from his high school years to about 2006.
Starting in the 2006-07 season he started to become too bulky and went from an exciting watch to a guy who was just trying to bulldoze people.

mans should take tougher shots to entertain you¿
ha iight
he passed up mad folks that did all that extra shyte on the all time scoring list how¿
the biggest bucket of all time was the type to get straight to it if you really think about it
the fastest path to a goal is a straight line keep it simple stupid
bron should start ballhogging & chucking it up you think that's gonna make his teammates better opposed to dropping dimes at a elite level¿

Unlike YOU apparently i was old enough to watch it Live and appreciate at it THEN. Its always foward im moving never backwards stupid, heres another classic..
you keep bringing up team accomplishmentsFor 2 of Bron's 3 rings he needed another player (Ray Allen and Kyrie) to hit do or die difficult long range shots. I'm not citing those shots to diminish Bron's ring count. I'm just telling you that in matchups between great teams in the Finals it comes down to the final moments and with the paint closed off difficult outside shots need to be hit. When your skill set is limited in that regard you hurt your chances to win championships.
I truly believe the 2010s were the weakest era in NBA history since the 70s. If Bron had patterned his game after Jordan he would have 6 rings right now and a strong claim to being the GOAT. He fukked up by just working to get more physically dominant rather than being more skilled.
A guy is the #3 All-Time scorer without being score first mentality...
Has plenty of evidence on deck of having a diverse offensive arsenal and killing cats off the dribble, from the post, in the midrange, with the footwork, but we still say all he plays is bully ball lmao...
Has the most buzzer beaters in playoff history, with a better success rate (shooting%) in crunch time scenarios than anyone else (other GOATs) in playoff history, with multiple individual performances that are arguable as GOAT-ever games...
And multiple playoff runs that are arguable as GOAT-ever playoff runs...
Is a 3x Finals MVP tied for second-most All-Time, and was the individual best player in at least two (2014, 2015) of the Finals he lost...
Tied for 3rd All-Time with 4 MVPs...
Has the record for most All-NBA 1st Team selections and is about to break the record for most selections, period...
And regardless of how one "likes" his game or not, is one of the most individually cerebral AND dominant players in the entire 74-year history of All-Time...
Somehow is unskilled with all of these accomplishments and being a consensus Rushmore player...
.............
But said guy only "could have been" the GOAT. Amazing how virtually nobody except Jordan's or Kareem's resume even stacks up to his, objectively speaking bar for bar, line for line...but we consistently jump through hoops and minimize basketball to "killer instinct" and team winning when it comes to LeBron, even though he's led more winners as a #1 option than anybody besides Jordan and the evidence has said for years he's one of the most clutch players ever...
Amazing how no one else is subjected to the same flimsy standards, for everyone else, Mike included, the criteria is manipulated to make LeBron appear lesser than he is, instead of objectively holding all GOATs to the same consistency...
That '11 Finals meltdown left an indelible print in the minds eye of people who refuse to acknowledge his career has ever been anything besides that series. All other narratives, from bully ball to unskilled and everything else, are derivative of that series. If he won that year or didn't lose in the fashion of horrible play he did, none of these takes would be as extreme as they are...
Never change, Coliseum, never change. Yall gonna miss this nikka when he hangs em up for good in a few years...
Interesting
Thought you were a true fan of BeanGawd.
He’s gonna finish #1 All-Time in scoring and in all likelihood become the first NBA Player to “lead” 3 different franchises to championships. That’s hardly leaving it on the table.
Nikka please ‘09 LeBron was his peak athleticism and he was doing all that with absurd athleticism and ridiculous range
He does a lot of “skill” shyt he’s just not 200 lb.![]()
Basically these fools without knowing they are saying this is "Lebron peaked at 18 and has been on the decline since"
But somehow has been all time NBA greatfor 17 years

why should he model his style after players he's more productive than¿
basing individual standing on team accomplishments makes what type of sense¿He's not more productive than Jordan. Save me with this box score crap. Luka Doncic is currently obliterating LeBron's records when it comes to triple double at a young age. Is Luka better than a young LeBron? Or has the game changed and is he simply playing in a system that allows him to rack up stats?
There's a reason great players measure themselves by rings. Its the only thing that can't be manipulated. Stats can easily be manipulated. We're seeing it right now. Just crank up the pace and your numbers will increase. However, they still only award 1 champion every season.
6-0 in the Finals versus 3-6 in the Finals is the only number that matters.
