I've seen Bird, Magic, Jordan, & Kobe play, IMO LeBron is the G.O.A.T

    Are you saying the rest of the league needs to find a mistress for LeBron and ruin his marriage with his wife chasing him down the street and throwing basketballs at him? Seemed to have worked on Tiger, lol.

    Seriously, no Love, the rest of the roster is shit, pure shit, lottery team, no other player current or past could get them to the finals.

    Unbelievable.

    They didn't even play good... Boston played their worst game of the season. Rozier is out here looking like Westbrook, going 0-10 from 3pt land... They got a ton of open shots, and if they shoot average, the Cavs are going home.

    I use to like LeBron as a player in his earlier days with the Cavs and boy was he a beast, but experienced teams got the better of him early in his career (Spurs, Celtics, Pistons). My respect and like for him went down the toilet after he left the Cavs the way he did with the national broadcast and then formed what we now see in todays NBA frequently, a super team. In some regards he helped ruined the NBA because of it and now some teams like our Blazers will never prosper unless we strike gold on a lot of draft picks. But regardless he came back to the Cavs and while I can never like him as much as I once did, I recognize and respect what he has done as a player and some of the teams he has carried since coming back to the Cavs, especially this one, whether he has won the NBA Finals or not, makes me feel like he is honestly the GOAT. The dominance he has done to Eastern teams in the playoffs the last what 8 years is insane. So for sure, he is up there in conversation. I will say it would be interesting if he made the finals if he were playing in the west because I'm not sure he would with the West being tougher IMO. Either way for sure a hell of a player and will be recognized as one of the best ever if not the best.

    This post makes no sense, but I'm not surprised.

    I think he might be, but when MJ finally figured out how to win, he flat out owned the NBA. Lebron has definitely owned the east, but he's had his problems in the finals, and this year is pretty incredible what he's done, but Boston is super young, philly is young, and Toronto did what they always do. Not diminishing what Lebron did this year, like I Said he very well might be the best. Lebron played against, the Spurs and lost with a really old Tim Duncan, He lost to Dallas, he's lost to GS a couple times. I think it's super hard to compare generations. Lebron is definitely the Basketball player of his generation and it's not close. It probably sounds like I'm arguing against Lebron as #1. Lebron came into the league at a much younger age than guys used too so he will end up with all the stats, guys been ridiculous.

    Funny how him "figuring it out" coincided with him being coached by Phil Jackson and accompanied by the prototypical SF of all time.

    So. Lebron didn’t figure it out until he was Bosh and Wade.
