Obvs the debate has been over for a while, but fuck anyone who says King James isn’t the greatest by a mile. I’d like to see Steph Curry win anything playing with these cavs.

Surely there is no way LeBron can win now.

Why? Because (A) Lebron is the GOAT, (B) his struggle to achieve success in life despite being surrounded by helpless nimrods is depressingly analogous to the life that each of us live each day and (C) watching Boston sports teams lose is perhaps the greatest joy imaginable.

THis guy is an idiot ( John madden voice )

Boston is a city of notable Irish history. The Irish potato famine ended in 1852.

I’m curious to see how far this analysis can be taken.

It happened because without LeBron, the Cavs would be a lottery team.

Yanny.

Celtics homer here. This game was awesome, but the Cavs looked tuned out. Bad defense and poor shooting killed any hope they had. Celts should be happy, but who knows what Cleveland team shows up next game.

Is there some available coach out there who has a secret plan for making James less good at basketball?

“Let’s get this straight first off: the Raptors were dead the moment LeBron James was...”

Wait, T.J. McConnell is white?

I did for about 2 years, then I realized what a shitshow Cleveland actually was and appreciated him a shitton more after he came back.

Everyone hates the cavs because Lebron should have like 25 rings by now

This is one of the most fascinating posts I have ever seen on this site. I agree with Burneko that there are a number of legit, meaningful arguments that one could use to bolster the assertion that MJ is the GOAT, and, yet, you went in the complete opposite direction just made a bunch of shit up. Literally everything…

My two cents, gonna take your points one by one.

#1, ‘Jordan was better in per game stats across the board’ - Incorrect
The only things MJ really ‘did better’ than LeBron were FT% and shots taken/ppg. LeBron has higher FG%, 3pt%, TS%, EFG%, Ast, Reb, and is essentially the same for steals/blocks. Jordan’s primary…

“LeBron has never been a good shooter from outside 4 feet.” Except he has a better FG and 3-point % than Jordan. Otherwise, excellent point.

Jordan doesn’t have better per game stats, though. Lebron has more rebounds and assists per game, plus better FG% (despite never being a “good shooter” I guess?). Jordan had more points per game but Lebron’s extra assists cover those three points.
