Which is longevity goofy. At his age it has been seen in multiple sports. Karl Malone played great until 40. No he doesn't have 22 nba seasons . But 40 is 40. Tom Brady in football. Nolan Ryan in Baseball.
Karl Malone was averaging 13 points a game at 40 dumbass. He wasn’t no LeBron. :skip:

And being a quarterback or pitcher is in no way comparable to what LeBron is doing. You can really tell MF who never hooped before. :mjlol:

ACTUALLY, THE YEAR BEFORE COMIN TO THE LAKERS MALONE WAS STILL PUTTIN UP 20-8-5 WIT A COUPLE STEALS

HE VERY WELL COULDA KEPT THAT UP IF HE STAYED IN UTAH

THE REASON HIS STATS FELL IS BECAUSE HE PLAYED BEHIND KOBE N SHAQ, SO USAGE WENT DOWN

Yes LeBron is better at SF/PF things than MJ, MJ is the goat though, his gameplay impact on his team led to a reign of dynasty, dominance, imperialism, fear and terror over the league.
passing the ball and guarding multiple positions aint sf/pf things exclusively though

He got injured and only played 42 games. In the playoffs he averaged 11 points despite playing 40 minutes a game.


But yeah Karl Malone was considered exceptional for his longevity and is still no where close to the level LeBron is playing at.

Historically unique.

fukk it. Bron is the greatest athlete in American history. :wow:
Peak, longevity, off the court accomplishments. Kang got it all.:wow:

When LeBron retires, there will still be plenty of MJ supporters keeping the debate alive. He'll never be the undisputed GOAT unless he wins like 6 chips as the clear leader.

This thread further solidifies Brady's status as the greatest North American team sports athlete. There's no debate about him being the GOAT quarterback. When he retired, he left nothing to question. Mahomes gets brought up, but he comes after, not before.

Brown's biggest hurdle is the ring count. He needs to win more.

I don’t disagree but the big picture is to impact the game by winning chips, everything else is whatever. A lot of great players can pass and guard multiple positions better than LeBron or MJ.
