Pretty incredible what LeBron is doing

[stormtrooper8]

Guy is playing slightly fewer minutes, but looks better than he has last couple of years. He solved his foot issue, has more bounce


Politics aside, we need appreciate this guy why he's here


Never gonna see another player as good as him in our lifetimes most likely

 

[KVB]

It's crazy.

One stat that sticks out for me is being the league leader in fast break points just last year.

It's not like he's cherry picking under the hoop and not playing D just to get the "whoo whoo, outlet!" pass.

This dude is schlopping it up and down like it's 20 years ago.

I agree Stormy, at one point we have to give LeBronda some well deserved credit.

I saw this post from ESPN last week.

Lebron is a one of the all time best but I guess it depends on who you ask as to whether he is the GOAT. I think Jordan is the GOAT hands down because I've actually seen him play in his prime but I bet if you ask kids today who've only seen Lebron play they'll go with Lebron as the best ever. He might not even be the best Laker of all time. For me that's between Kobe and Magic but I'll give Lebron credit for lasting as long as he has and playing this many minutes. I don't think you'll see anybody play at a high level for over 20 years anymore.

Does the NBA test for PEDs or do they test everyone but LeBitch??

 

[jjgold]

They probably don’t even test

Good post.

I'd pick Kobe over Lebron as the best Laker. Just my opinion. No data to back that up.

Best Laker is fine since Kobe played there so long

As a player all time LeBron is way ahead of Kobe. Not even close to debatable

LeBron clutch as hell tonight. Takes over the game in the 4th and wins it for the Lakers

The GOAT is either MJ or LeBron . Can argue both sides

No one else close to consideration at this point

If Kobe was still with us today he would tell you LeBron was better than him, as competitive as he was

Kobe is a fringe top 10 guy. He’s in debates with guys like Duncan, Shaq, and Curry

Loved Kobe as a player and he is certainly beloved as a Laker, but as far as all time greats go he is nowhere near the GOAT conversation

Kobe was arguably the best scorer ever and he had a killer instinct that few guys had but you're right Lebron is probably better than him. He does more things to help you win than Kobe and even though I didn't like him after all the team hopping he did there's no denying that he's right there with Jordan although I will argue in favor of Jordan.

Kobe had a unique ability to make tough shots and wasn’t afraid of taking them — awesome if they went in but sometimes cohkd

Disagree about scoring though. He was a better perimeter shooter than LeBron for sure but LeBron way better getting to the bucket and more efficient . LeBron has also averaged 25+ points for 19 consecutive seasons — every year except his rookie season . For perspective, Kobe failed to do that 8 times in a shorter career

Then of course LeBron better at all the other basketball stuff lol

LeBron/Jordan is an interesting debate though.

LeBron in Vegas tonight

Not sure how I missed this but best Laker ever is Kareem

Kareem is probably the third best player ever behind LeBron/MJ

Depends on who you ask I guess. Kareem is a worthy candidate but some people would argue in favor of Kobe because he played all 20 years for the Lakers and had a tremendous career winning 5 rings for them.

Yeah I guess it’s a debate between them and Magic

In all time ranks though, Kareem way ahead of Kobe

 

[stormtrooper8]

I guess you could call Kobe the “best Laker ever” and not be nuts because of the longevity there


But he’s at best the 4th best player to ever wear the Laker uniform. I personally think he’s 5th

LeBron, Kareem, Magic all clearly ahead

Shaq is debatable

Yes but remember he was a Buck before he came to the Lakers. Kobe played his entire storied career for the Lakers and had a number of impressive accolades and championships. No doubt Kareem is higher on the list of NBA all time greats but I think there's no question Kobe is the best Laker ever.
