Lou Williams explains why LeBron James is the GOAT:
“We had that [GOAT] expectation on Bron since he was 14 years old… At 41, there’s still an expectation of greatness for him. We didn’t have that on MJ/Kobe.” 🗣️

UPDATE: It was Darren Collison who, when inbounding the ball, asked LeBron if he was playing the whole game.
LeBron responded by shaking his head: “Whole game. I’m playing the whole game.”
Bron - Favored in 30% of Finals
MJ - Favored in 100% of Finals
Kobe - Favored in 100% of Finals
Steph - Favored in 100% of Finals
How does the player favored in 30% of his Finals have an easier path than the players favored in 100% of their Finals?
It just doesn't make sense
Haters are insulting your intelligence. They want you to believe that someone can score 50K points against the best basketball players in the world and not be considered one of the greatest scorers ever. For perspective, only 8 players in NBA history have even reached 30K
Andrew Bogut played with him for 1 half, Shaq was 38, DRose was considering retiring, Dwight was almost out of the league, Greg Oden played 23 games, Joe Smith played 27 games & Ayton just got paid to leave a team...
Shane Battier:
“LeBron did something twice that Jordan, I don’t think, could have done once. He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as his starting power forward.”

Wow, looks like MJ had a superteam to bail him out.
