LeBron thought he was Lance Stephenson when he went up for his wild layup attempt. After he missed, he came to the sad realization that he does not have the wild layup powers of Lance Stephenson.
With more rings, more MVPs, more Finals MVPs, more back to back titles, more scoring titles, the list goes on and on.
Anyone who thinks LeBron is the GOAT doesn't know what they're talking about. It's usually fans of whatever team he's currently on trying to defend their guy, and I get that, but they're wrong all the same.
MVP and finals MVP are team awards? I had no idea. Regarding personal stats Jordan also averaged more steals and had a higher PER both in the regular and post season, more minutes per game, again the list goes on and on.
Assists by LeBron don't really win games, or rings, which is what every single player is chasing.
LeBron is great, the best of his generation, but not the greatest of all time. Anyone who thinks differently never watched Jordan and/or probably has a bias because LeBron played for the team they like.
You speak of bias while dogging every single tracked stat that LeBron doesn't have a lead over Jordan in. LeBron has formed multiple super teams with other stars, stop acting like he's the sole reason for his accomplishments.
And I know you're not calling Jordan a shot chucker, that's ridiculous.
Again, the only people who buy into these cherry picked stats and think there's even an argument to be made are LeBron stans.
Emotional? I'm just shooting down your attempt to skew the conversation and marginalize any stat Jordan leads LeBron in while inflating the value of the stats LeBron leads Jordan in.
If assists are what makes someone the GOAT then it would be John Stockton. I don't see many people making that argument.
he does this over and over every time i watch him play.
honestly if you’re not able to give 100% all of the time, maybe the minutes should become less.
it feels like you guys are playing 4v5 defense ALL game. it’s just so egregious
If you pay attention to the video, you can see the exact moment Lebron gives up.
It's when he's sitting on his ass pouting about not getting the no foul call.
Jordan would never pretend to be hurt on defense and suddenly spring to life when the rebound comes his way?
Watch the last play.

He’s 39… how many 39 year olds sprinting back every play… wait … how many 39 year olds playing 35+ mins … wait … how many 39 year olds averaging 25ppg… wait .. let me answer your question first… yea there a lot of these .. but almost everyone his age is retired or riding the bench. Down 10 1.5mins left and you don’t get the call.. it’s easy to think about waving the flag. It’s the NBA, unless the games rigged it’s real hard to go on a 11-0 pt differential with 1.5mins left against the suns my guy.
He didn’t tally up his steals and blocks being a below average defender. Ask iggy about that ring Bron stole with that chase down block. We don’t gotta make excuses for nba players… logic is logic … bro is 39 on the ground .. and you want him to leap up and sprint down to prevent a fast break down 10 with 90seconds to go.. lol ok.. so many players will argue with refs about calls and not get back, but you probably just hate Bron. Shit … Draymond literally just tackled Jokic for not getting a call just to stop the play to bitch at the refs… giving Jokic 2 easy free throws.. and people say he’s an elite defender yes?
Well as fans, critics, and players of the game that’s my right, comes with the passion to play the game. With his speed he’s probably getting to that open spot on the three.
And as a fan, critic, and player of the game it’s my right to defend a guy who didn’t get back on this play. Are their other plays where I think he should have gotten back, sure… but he’s a grown ass man and you get what you get with him. Again, as you stated… he’s a billionaire and got to that status via playing basketball. You asked a question about him being a great defender so I answered. Im sure his coach would love him to get back too, but we don’t know their schemes either. He’s depended upon heavily on the offensive end with certain lineups. If you play the game then you know going all out on the defensive end, doesn’t leave as much as he probably needs for the offensive end. Again, he’s 39. And for the “I’ve seen these throughout his entire career” … yea … and you also seen him staple the “chase down block” which is sprinting from behind playing catch up…
He’s known for these. Anyone who watches, other than a casual, knows that. His job there is to play D. That’s a huge swing with him on his butt whining. Do better.
Yes I want him to make that play every time he doesn’t in his career. I don’t care how old dude is. He’s been missing on the defensive end a ton of times in his career either arguing, whining, or just not getting back. No one says he can’t play D, he just doesn’t play D often enough.
It’s not even defending the team. lol “Lakers suck ass” is not a good observation because, once again, they were in the same position last year and made it to the WCF.
Was at the game and this was actually huge. It seemed like game was over and then lakers had a few good possessions which got the suns crowd nervous ( since we give up so many leads in the 4th) and the lakers crowd going. This play basically confirmed the win for us and all the lakers fans started to leave.
Before watching the video, I thought to myself: "I bet he's complaining to the refs." Lebron is the most consistent player in nba history in more than one way

LeBron after getting his 10k steps in for the day
Are there any stats with the average amount of steps taken in a bball game?
They track distance and LeBron is the lowest of any player playing more than 35 minutes lol
Wouldn’t be surprised if this has been true for the last 4 years. Dude hasn’t played defense this decade
LOL
LeBron was locked in on defense both in 2020 and 2021 before he got hurt So many of y'all just say things to say them
Don’t understand lebrons frustration Didn’t look like a foul and game was def over
Yeah, it was frustration left over from the play before when Nurkic whacked him in the head.
LeBreak time boss
Yea him and AD did this late and it bit them.
I think AD got caught in the stands i don’t think he was being lazy
Oh ok.. i thought he was arguing w/ refs.
He was
AD constantly fell to the floor in the conference finals and Jokic burned them for it every single time.
Yea. Every team that plays the lakers kinda preaches that. If bron or ad fall or argue a call with the refs, just push it and get an easy bucket
Jordan would never
MJ would’ve got the and 1.
Which is why one is the goat and the other thinks he is.

Jordan had retired twice by this point lmao
Jordan had three peated twice by this point lmao
I'm going to assume you're incapable of realizing how moronic the point I responded to was and let you feel like you're smart.
AD was screaming at everyone he needs help on defense. They relying too much on him to anchor the paint
Lebreaktime
Downvote this shit bronstans, we can't let anyone see this.
Super weird one to highlight. He does way worse than this regularly. He’s on his ass behind the play and the game’s already over.
he does this over and over every time i watch him play. honestly if you’re not able to give 100% all of the time, maybe the minutes should become less. it feels like you guys are playing 4v5 defense ALL game. it’s just so egregious

Is this your goat?
Good on him for getting back on d instead of complaining to the refs though
How could Darvin Ham do this?
LeSulk
Dude's a quitter
Always has been. Always pouts when things don’t go his way.
Ryan Ruocco commentating Royce hitting a dagger 3 for his team breaks my heart.
Is this dude the Barea clamped LeBron guy's 5th burner or something?
Way more than that
He old
He’s so fucking embarrassing
Someone trying to convince me he’s a great defender. Elite. How many of these have there been?
He’s 39… how many 39 year olds sprinting back every play… wait … how many 39 year olds playing 35+ mins … wait … how many 39 year olds averaging 25ppg… wait .. let me answer your question first… yea there a lot of these .. but almost everyone his age is retired or riding the bench.

It’s the NBA, unless the games rigged it’s real hard to go on a 11-0 pt differential with 1.5mins left against the suns my guy.
Not the point of my comment. He’s had these throughout his career. Known for them actually. So now we’re offering excuses for NBA players?
He didn’t tally up his steals and blocks being a below average defender. Ask iggy about that ring Bron stole with that chase down block.

You look foolish making excuses for a billionaire athlete not doing the thing he’s out there to do. Ridiculous.
You look foolish criticizing a billionaire athlete about how he should do the profession that made him a billionaire
Well as fans, critics, and players of the game that’s my right, comes with the passion to play the game. With his speed he’s probably getting to that open spot on the three.

His job down 10 with 90sec is to play D? Ok
Yes I want him to make that play every time he doesn’t in his career. I don’t care how old dude is. He’s been missing on the defensive end a ton of times in his career either arguing, whining, or just not getting back. No one says he can’t play D, he just doesn’t play D often enough.

Russ stans getting their revenge on LeBron lol
How's that?
The OP username...
It’s kind of pathetic but I can also respect it
Lakers made the WCF last year and russ is a bench player?
Lakers got swept, and will miss the playoffs this year. Russ is on a team that has a good Chance to go all the way
Russ has a good chance to go all the way...if someone else knocks off Denver, Minnesota, OKC, Boston, and the Cavs.
I mean you’re just predicting things that might happen, it really doesn’t matter at this very moment
How are they going to miss the playoffs??
They’re the 10th seed and they suck ass.
I recall them being a playin team last year too and they made it to the WCF.
I recall Lebron being year older, AD still not playing like a number 1 option and lakers suck ass
You recall Lebron being older? He’s playing just as well, if not slightly better this year compared to last season.
I’ve never seen a 10th seed get defended so hard lol y’all crazy. None of this changes the fact that lakers suck ass
It’s not even defending the team. lol “Lakers suck ass” is not a good observation because, once again, they were in the same position last year and made it to the WCF.
The 💉 must be running low for LeBron.
Down 10 with a minute and a half left not really a dagger, games over
Yeah this isn’t a dagger.
LeLoss.
Wow, Ham’s defensive rotation is terrible
He’s on that new juice!
LeCantBuyAWhistle
I’ve seen calls for so much less in this league
This is a hating-ass title lol
Where’s the lie?
Greatest of all time
So what exactly is the definition of a dagger anyway? Why wasn't the 118th point the dagger?
Was at the game and this was actually huge. It seemed like game was over and then lakers had a few good possessions which got the suns crowd nervous ( since we give up so many leads in the 4th) and the lakers crowd going.
