“Nobody feared LeBron. I’ve heard people say including myself that they feared Michael Jeffrey Jordan” Shaq

[ISO]

I think what people are getting at is that at its core the fear that people had for Kobe/Jordan was more organic because it was about them using sheer will and determination and killer instinct in their rise to the top. LeBron on the other hand had always felt like a social engineering project as a means of pivoting away from Kobe post Colorado as the next face of the league and Jordan’s heir. More ticky tack fouls were called and it gradually became less about your bag and your will to kill and more about if you were a part of the NBA’s marketing efforts. I think had Bron won in Cleveland first it would’ve went a long way. Bron’s “bulldoze through nikkaz” offense and hopping on Wade’s team to win has permanently stained Bron for many fans.

With that said, I feel bad from Bron because now he can’t be appreciated for the great player he is because too many people still sense that stench of his being overly pushed by the league as the guy to root for. I honestly hope and wish that the league goes away from this “Next Jordan” bullshyt once and for all.

Thanks to that shyt, nearly 30 years of NBA discourse has devolved into Stan wars which has made it where one all time great is having his legacy erased while the other is being made to be hated by a growing contingent of NBA fans all while the same GOAT exists today and has to continuously be brought up because the sport refuses to move the fukk on.

Kobe stans y’all

JJ Reddikkk didn’t even fear LeBron

JJ said he feared lebron and steph.

Don’t understand the difference between someone respecting your physical prowess and what being feared on the basketball court means breeh x brehettes

And yes there is a difference

No one fears Derrick jones jr

So you think that they feared Shaq for his outside perimeter shot or because he was 7 ft 310 lbs?

You guys sound ridiculous trying to explain that no one was ever worried about a man with 40,000 points.

What Fear gotta do with how good of a basketball player you are?

Not a damn thing. It just so happens that someone said they feared Jordan before. So since they don’t know that people have said they feared lebron before they try to use it as a knock on lebron. 1 things for sure though not being afraid of prime lebron didn’t stop him from putting 40 on they ass.

Out of context quote turned into a lebron hater circle jerk thread….how original

Shaq also said this

Shaquille O'Neal says LeBron James would be the GOAT if he becomes highest scorer in NBA history

This is how Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James would be the GOAT of the NBA, according to Shaquille O’Neal.

But OP and his fakkit ass homies wouldn’t dare make a thread about this

See that's why i said he said some contradicting shyt earlier in the thread....

@Billy Ocean , another Coli poster who’s been exposed as a fraud. A midget, small hands, pays prostitutes to write his name on their titties for Coli clout and lives in a dusty apt in the hood. That’s all.

No daps...smh.

Post full of bullshyt just because I didn't say anything nice about the man this faq wanted to marry (Kobe)

It's ok, gayboy...I understand. Your lifestyle is accepted nowadays and I will try to refrain from slandering your Babylonian behavior. I have no smoke for fakkits moving forward. Peace be upon you

Imagine watching any 5 minutes of Shaq speak and thinking that he had reliable or informed takes on basketball.


His own show is literally known for them cracking a lot of jokes but not even being familiar with the players who are in the game.




Pistons looked terrified of Bron in 2007. Celtics have taken like 6 straight series losses to Bron and overhauled their roster multiple times solely to match him. Pacers and Raptors were fukking food, to the point that they still call it "LeBronto". Warriors looked like deer in the headlights until they got on the phone and begged KD to help, and once KD left they started losing to him again. Hell, KD himself ran from the Thunder cause he was, what, 4-17 lifetime or some shyt against LeBron?

Who he play for? is one of the best bits they do

Kobe’s are the #1 on court show for many years though

Not off the court though that’s not KBs fault, they are just difficult asf to get

That's why he had to build SUPERTEAMS in the first place


He's the Triple H of the NBA.

Lebron had to face way better teams in the finals though so he needed 1 or 2 stars beside him. Look at the HOF's he faced vs who Jordan faced.

Jordan had Pippen beside him for all 6 and Rodman for the last 3 as well.

This entire Bron vs Jordan conversation is pointless. Why?

Because all it’s going to take is some nosy jounalist who doesn’t give a fukk about access to the NBA to bring the entire thing down.

It’s 10000000000000000% certain that Bron did HGH through the 2013 finals. The same year David Stern warned the entire league via the news that testing was coming.

2014 back issues start. He’s lost weight. His game falls off a cliff and he’s forced to change it almost completely.

At some point he even runs back to Miami for two weeks once the new undetectable stuff came in and he could reup and come back a monster.

Mark my words, that trainer will he his downfall. That juice shop will be their downfall.

Start practicing your “PEDS don’t matter!” arguments now Bron Stan’s.

Lebron only had 40 points 8 assists and 9 rebounds today on 60% shooting in an L. Clearly the PEDs aren’t working anymore

Luka averages close to that this season but nobody cares
