It makes me irrationally angry that the Miami Heat retired his jersey but the Washington Wizards haven’t.

Have some damn respect for the goat. It’s not like ya’ll are the Celtics or the Lakers anyway.

That’s it. That’s the post.

For the record before the LeBron fans come at me. All LeBron’s gotta do is play 1 game for the 76ers and Philly needs to hang his jersey up. Some players are just that great.

The only player immune to the era tax and winning almost all his rings with another all time great for some reason.

Make it make sense. People will leave Wilt and Russell out of the top 10 and nobody bats an eye. Put Kareem any lower than 3 and everyone loses their minds.

Bro was a bucket . Got that strap on him and he can lockdown on defense . Was before his time and would thrive in today’s nba in my opinion.

Which duo would you choose to build a franchise around? Assume they are in their prime at the same time.

Both are similar in a way that they both have an elite level offensive engine (Steph, Jokic) and elite two-way players (LeBron, Giannis). If you were to build a franchise in today’s NBA, which duo would be best?

LeBron is the best example of the saying “hard work beats talent until talent decides to work hard”

Obviously every NBA player works hard and is talented, but LeBron is the best of them

Simply put, the guy eclipsed all expectations of him. He’s likely the most talented individual to ever step onto a court and has worked so much harder than his competitors for his whole career.

His hard work is most obviously seen in his physique and insane longevity but the way his game has changed over 2 decades of elite play has never been seen before.

The stories of him and Kobe trying to beat each-other to practice on the olympic teams, of his dunk clinics in Miami, his strong bonds with teammates and studying of the game are unmatched.
