    Lebron James outside of his initial Cleveland years, has had more help than any Superstar in the history of our game. Yall remember that Cleveland team when they actually won it in, 2016?
    They had 3 All Stars, 1 former all star, one former all nba player, one former sixth man of the year, heck, they even had a battered and bruised Deron Williams. This dude will never be in the GOAT conversation in my eyes just because of the circumstances in which he won his championships. Period.

    I’m a little confused about the title of this video. Lebron is clearly the Greatest ever. This debate sailed on MJ 3 years ago.

    No matter how many times the GOAT debate come back, the facts cannot be changed. And the facts lead to one conclusion and one conclusion only: MJ is the undisputed G.O.A.T. Not to mention, that Giannis is going to overshadow Lebron in the finals. Mark my words! No need to say, that the so-called “debate” is an ESPN fiction, nothing more. I long for the NBC days, I honestly do…

    The LA Lakers are winning
    the NBA Finals Championship
    in 2020, 2021, and 2022. After
    the Kobe Bryant sacrifice like Wilt
    Chamberlain in 1999, leading to
    2000, 2001, 2002 championships.

    Then LeBron James will retire.
    My auto correct wanted to say LeBron James would die. Very strange.

    ESPN IS SO DUMB. JORDAN IS GOAT HANDS DOWN. KOBE MORE RINGS THAN LEBRON. LEBRON IS 3RD ON THAT LIST AND THAT JUST FACT

    Jordan never had to chase rings, he STAYED in Chicago,players didn’t leave Chicago due to MJ,and Jordan would play regardless”the gym is too hot”😥.
    LeBron plays great,but Jordan was on another level than LeBron. How many players have expressed displeasure to end up traded between the 2 of these guys? How many teams did each player need to get their titles? How many single digits scoring games did each one have? How many players have modeled their game after the other? At least MJ had his reasoning for #23 what was LJ reason to pick #23?

    Well it wouldn’t be LeBron leading them. What about AD? He’s a leader and also top 5 best player in the league. I don’t get it?

    Different eras, different GOAT’s…. How simple is that?!

    Lebron got swept twice in his career, how is he the goat? Jordan never got swept and so is kobe, 3 rings is enough for this dude, dont bring up KD excuse.

    we finally move past this topic with the passing of kobe and yall already back on it..

    No, he isn’t in contention for being the GOAT. The real conversation should be, is LeBron top 5? Also, Anthony Davis is leading the team in every stat except assists and 3pt %, but we are going to talk about Lebron “leading the team” to another NBA title..?

    This will never be in debate to anyone that actually saw Jordan play. Jordan wasnt 6′ 8″ 240 pounds flopping and bitching after every little touch. Lebron has hurt the game bigtime being the one to bring flopping mainstream and acceptable. Jordan didnt go to multiple teams and ask other top players to join him to win a championship.

    Lebron never left the debate, these are the 2 greatest players of all time.
