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

[10bandz]

That's not a terrible comparison for MJ and LeBron. Hard to see how Kobe fits in there considering that he wasn't ever winning dominant like that.....


If MJ is Tyson and Bron is Floyd, then Kobe is Oscar de la Hoya.

This dude is a fukking fakkit, full stop.

I don't even know why people argue this.

Bron and Kobe both wore Jordans.

Not 1 time ever you seen Jordan in they shoes!


Even Bron kids wearing J's

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

The best analogy I heard that Chris Broussard claimed a former NBA player told him was that players viewed Jordan/Kobe like prime Mike Tyson whereas LeBron is viewed as Floyd Mayweather.

Wow that's a reach right there. What about others players who have claimed Lebron to be top 2? Where they breaking 'code'?

Shaq joined Lebron's Cavs in an attempt to chase a championship ring.

Shaq is one of the most insecure superstars ever

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?

Players keep saying shyt like this when there’s video of people moving out of Lebrons way so he can do whatever he wanted. It’s not adding up.

Shambles

If true, so what?

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

This is facts though. Kobe MJ had legends being denied championship runs. LeBron beat Paul George and Derozan.

Demar Derozan is what MJ would be in this era.

Okay and so what to your post? What does wearing Js have to do with who’s feared and who’s not?

Shaq played in the NBA. He knows more than any of us when it comes to basketball

So did JJ Redicc, Gilbert Arenas and Rashad Mccants, and we know how that turned out
they be having the worst takes on basketball despite having been literal pros in the NBA

Shaq throws shots at LeBron while making stance on MJ GOAT debate clear

Shaquille O’Neal has weighed in on the LeBron James vs Michael Jordan debate and made his feelings pretty clear. Shaq discussed the NBA legends on a recent episode of ‘The Big Podcast&#…

talksport.com

Once again another legend chimes in on the GOAT debate. Should we ignore his comments and listen to the typical coli dweeb that couldn’t make their freshman HS team or a HoFer? The same one they weaponize to downplay Kobe’s ring count

I swear Shaq has made contradicting remarks about Lebron so I'm confused

3-4 years past their apex? Where do you come up with such bullshyt?

03: 50 wins
04: 54 wins
05: 54 wins
06: 64 wins
07: 53 wins
08: 59 wins

The '06 Pistons were literally the peak Pistons team. Billups was 29, Rip was 27, Prince was 25, Sheed was 31, and Ben was 31. They had 4 All-Stars and all of them were playing at their absolute peak. They also had the most experience and chemistry at that point. And 21yo Bron with scrubs still built a 3-2 lead on them and was damn near one rebound away from taking them out in Game 6.

You want to suggest the 03' Pistons were the apex, before they had even won anything lol? The '04 team caught magic, but they only had 1 all-star that year, Billups/Rip/Prince were young as hell, they had zero Finals experience, and Sheed had only been with the team like 20 games. The only reason they won in '04 and not '05/'06 was because the East comp was terrible in '04 and Lakers self-destructed. In later years they were a better team, but their competition was much better as well.

The '07 Pistons were playing MUCH closer to their peak than the 50-win '91 Pistons were, and MJ still gets credit for beating them and pulling up to a 1-3 record against their squad, right?






LeBron dismissed the '11 Celtics who were just 10 months removed from the 2010 Finals. So Kobe gets credit for barely beating the Celtics despite Ray being hurt and Perkins being out, but LeBron gets no credit for beating the same team perfectly healthy just 10 months later?






That's completely disingenuous. That Thunder core was playing their third straight postseason together and had made the '11 WCF against Dallas, Durant was older and more experienced than Bron was in '07 and with a far better squad. Durant was MVP runner-up for the 2nd straight year and 1st-team All-NBA, Westbrook was 2nd-team All-NBA, Harden was 6MOY about to pull a max contract and Ibaka was a DPOY runner-up. That team was stacked. They didn't replicate because Harden left to the Rockets after that season and Westbrook/Durant got hurt two of the next three years. Even Westbrook/Durant alone with no Harden still pushed an all-time Spurs team to 6 in the WCF in 2014 and a 73-win Warriors team to 7 in the 2016 WCF.

I love that Kobe gets credit for taking 6 games to beat the baby Thunder in the 1st round in 2010 (that's a 50-win team, tough matchup!), but Bron doesn't get credit for whupping them in 5 when they were actually elite and experienced two years later.

That 07 Pistons team no longer had Big Ben, a past his prime Rasheed, and a completely broken down Webber. They were not near as good as the team that won the title.
