Lebron isn't responsible for making the eastern conference competitive. Plus a lot of those eastern teams had great records but when Lebron swept them all of a sudden yall crying that that team was garbage. Lebron is the most impactful player probably to ever play. He left a Cavs team that was 1st as far as record goes and they dropped all the way to last. The only player to come close to probably having that type of impact is Shaq.


LOL LEBRON IS NOT THE ONLY 1 WHO LEFT THAT CAVS TEAM, THE ENTIRE ROSTER WAS REVAMPED

Lol @ Kobe top 5 at the lowest. Like I said earlier, you can argue him top 10 and I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with it, but there's no way he's top 5

Hes better then magic and bird kareem is debatable and hes defiantly better then bron

LeBron played in a significantly weaker era while also playing with significantly more talent.

Kobe won 2 rings with only 1 other all-star beside him (Gasol).

All 3 rings LeBron won he had at least 2 other all-stars (Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, and Love) beside him.

This year is the first time he's in a situation like Kobe was post-Shaq. Bron has only 1 all-star (Love). With a similar supporting cast Kobe won back to back rings.

Lets see what Bron does. He would need to win back to back rings with only Kevin Love to equal what Kobe did with Gasol.
You really the only one talking common sense i trust the words of a former player whos played against both over a accredited "backset driver."

And to your other point i agree now is the time where we will see if Lebron is as great as people think hes the only superstar opposite love whos a stretch 4 so obviously Lebron will end up pretty much being the goto and will have alot to burden its funny how eerily similar his current circumstances are to when he first entered the League in the 03-04 seasons with aging vets, lineup etc.

Bird, sure. But magic is one of the few that you can make a GOAT case for, and I don't think it's debateable that Kareem is better when he averaged 25/12 for his career. Also how is he better than the most all-around transcadental superstar of this generation

So you're blaming Lebron for decimating the competition? That's called taking care of business. Word to Steven Jackson
Didnt say I blamed him. Just stating why. Not sure why the facts bother you. He faced lesser competition and played well. Good for him and his stat line. But when the competition stiffened, he folded up, didnt make his teammates better and didnt win. Five finals losses proved that his stats dont mean shyt on the big stage.

He played well in every series except one so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Basically your whole argument is that a player isn't elite if his team as a whole doesn't win. It's a terrible argument because this isn't a 1 on 1 sport. You can be the best player on the court and the other team be better as a whole. Some of you dudes are watching to many espn shows using Skip Bayless talking points. The best player doesn't always play on the best team. The better team usually wins in basketball regardless of who has the best player.

The goal of the game to win. If you dont win, how good are you?
