LeBron on entering the NBA without a Hall of Fame teammate, like Magic Johnson had with Kareem:
“I wasn’t privy to that. MJ spent his first couple years without a Hall of Fame teammate. But then, boom, they drafted Pippen, and boom, here comes Phil Jackson.”
LeBron on joining the Heat:
“I wanted more. I wanted to win at the highest level. It’s no different from someone in business going from one place to the next place, because they get a better opportunity to be around better people. In sports, sometimes people get so caught up in ‘He should do this on his own.’ I don’t play tennis and I don’t play golf. The way I grew up is, we’ve got to do this together as a team.”
LeBron says he’s not taking anyone in NBA history over himself
“I’m not taking nobody over me. There’s no question. But I think Mike will say the same thing. Rest his soul, Kobe will say the same thing. Magic will say the same thing. Bird will say the same thing. Shaq could say the same thing. The late great Wilt. Kareem. I don’t think none of us are going to take somebody else. If there’s a general manager and he’s eyeballing all of us on a baseline, with the No. 1 pick, it’s gonna be hard not to take me, champ.”

I'm a Wemby stan but he's not close to Bron, not yet at least. The performance against the Pistons in 2007 is the most impressive shit I ever saw on a basketball court lmao
Hopefully Victor Wembanyama knows that if he loses in the Finals at 22 years old, he will no longer be eligible to ever be considered better than Michael Jordan.
On this date in 2007, LeBron James put on one of the greatest playoff performances ever.
He scored the Cavaliers' final 25 points in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, carrying Cleveland to a 109-107 double-overtime win over Detroit.
His 25 straight points remain the most consecutive points scored by a player in a playoff game in the play-by-play era (since 1997) 🔥
Boxing world act like Ray wasn’t rocking Shock shit all night mfs saying Ray won 3-4 rds at max 😂😂😂
Them niggas still same level shock tank just better
I wholeheartedly believe the NBA community took LeBron James going to 8 straight Finals for granted. It takes a monumental effort to get there. The fact that it became routine is mind boggling. To this day he’s the most underrated competitor that’s ever played.
