That game 6 lebron against the Celtics was the best lebron I’ve ever seen. Use to hate lebron before that and had major respect ever since. I’m a Celtics fan as well.

People ALWAYS mentioned Kareem being the all time leading scorer. They are saying Lebron is so good, it wont even be a top 3 thing you discuss about him. I think this is a complement?

The all-time scoring title is a record of longevity. It’s amazing he’s had the stamina he’s had but he’s also had the support of improved medical intervention and started his pro career years earlier than the old timers. I agree with Legler that the playoff and finals impact is more impressive.

Kareem has 6 rings. Nobody ever starts with 6 time champion Kareem, they say NBA ALL TIME points leader. Stop moving the posts man, it’s tiring lol

He played that way in 2012 because he quit on his team in 2011′. l was at gm 5 of the finals. Dirk was the best player on the court. Shawn Marion and Deshawn Stevenson had shut LJ down in the 4th qtrs of all 6 games. During the 3rd qtr in gm 5 he was walking around moping in his prime rather than trying to defend like he does now. lm not surprised at his longevity or the scoring title. Hes only completed one 82 gm season he’s been so pampered and he’s been awarded 9000+ and 1’s having made 7000+. He gets more automatic foul calls than any player in the league today and he’s 8th all time. It is odd tho that he’s only won the scoring title per season once and MJ won it 10 times. MJ played all 82 games 9 times. After this season LJ will have taken an entire season off in LA paid for rest, a minor groin pull and foot ‘pain’. Not the goat.

Yall need to stop.. When Kareem had the record it was, ‘nobody will ever break this’ blah blah blah… Bron is the BOAT. Best Of All Time. Hands down. MJ can be the GOAT, he was more trophies. But that’s it. Bron has FAR better numbers, Bron has a better more complete game. Can play and guard all 5 positions. He’s the BOAT

Lets be real … if Curry and the Warriors did not recruit KD after losing to Lebron and Cleveland then Lebron possibly would’ve had 2 more rings making it 6 in total as we speak … no team could’ve beaten those Warriors (Toronto got lucky coz KD got injured) … it’s just unfortunate Lebron ran into that juggernaut of a team which was assembled to stop HIM … i’m grateful to witness a legend play in my lifetime … he’ll be truly missed once he’s gone, just like MJ.

People acting as if we didn’t know he was gonna break the record, Jordan will always be the GOAT never lost in a final, and never carried a purse to the game.
