It’s the Cavs from a realistic what if standpoint, it’s LeBron from a miracle standpoint. The entire segment is disrespectful to Boston, OKC, and Denver who are the more likely contenders than the Lakers though, and exists only so we can have the 1,000,000th discussion about MJ vs LeBron which was settled in 2011.

Lakers winning would suck. I’ll end up turning into 24/7 lakers Bron . Im sick of hearings about both already .

If he wins another title, more people are going to agree that he’s the goat.
He’s been the goat since 2016, but i get it some people always need to see more.
Its 50:50 right now for the population, it’ll be 75:25 if Lebron wins another one.

Thank you for this comment. Agreed Kobe is MJ 2.0 and they are both better than Bron

Lebron has done enough to be considered top 5 ever. Realistically, another title isn’t changing any Jordan or Kobe’s fan mind about him being better than them, because he’s playing alongside Luka, AND if he doesn’t win FMVP it would hurt his GOAT case. Jordan always won FMVP. Luka is a generational player. It would hurt the narrative that, “he’s always been the number 1 option on his team”, and that would cement Jordan.
Bron ruined his GOAT debate chance when he went to team up with Miami and loss to Dallas, and years before that choked in the playoffs as a number 1 seed. It’s never been a real debate.

Winning a ring with Luka as the best player on the team, will not help LeBron in the goat conversation. You have to win as the best player on the team.

ESPN is just as bad as the nba. It’s in their contract to always talk about Lepeds. Absolutely pathetic!
