Lebron and why I don't think of him as the best.

Sure, great stats lots of skills. Then there's stuff like this.

jordan is the GOAT, but lebron has certainly been the best the last 10 years. sure he's a high maintenance diva, but you can't deny his greatness.

[steve B]

Great skills, but greatness doesn't walk off just because the team had a bit of a rough patch.

I don't recall seeing that from anyone, let alone any of the greats.
Give the guy who made that lousy pass an earful yes, walk off ? No.

Mmm jordan BERATED his teammates. Kobe cusses his teammates out. I think lebron didnt do that enough before tbh playing the pc game. Hes basically running cleveland right now.

The example cited in the original post doesn't really have any impact on whether or not Lebron is viewed as the best of all-time. So much of Jordan's mystique and why he is viewed as the greatest was because he was 6-0 all-time in the NBA finals (I realize he was also playing alongside another one of the NBA's 50 greatest players).

Bron Bron is a cry baby sell out.

No one is saying lebron is the best of all time durrrr. The examples op cited doesnt say anything about his greatness right now...which imo hes still the best in the game.

[steve B]

There was a whole thread recently about whether he was the best all-time.

I'm not so sure he's the best currently. Maybe best skills, but he always came across as weak in the less measurable things.

While I hate how Michael treated his teammates, I agree he's the best. As great a player as LeBron is, his antics makes me not like him.

No offense, but Lebron's "antics" and you not "liking him" have no bearing on whether or not he's the GOAT. That said, Jordan is the GOAT imho due to a 6-0 Finals record which has already been pointed out.

Not what I'm saying. Someone earlier mentioned what Kobe and Jordan did to their teammates and in spite of that, LeBron isn't the greatest.

Dont count out Scottie Pippen he was also 6-0 in finals. Not sure about Luc Longley though.
