Shane Battier on Miami LeBron and why LeBron is the GOAT:
โFor as good as you think he was, he was that much better. Iโm biased, but when people say LeBron or MJ, I say LeBron did something twice, that I donโt think Jordan could ever do once. He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as his starting PF. I love Mike, one of the greatest of all time but LeBron did it twice with me as his bum ass PFโฆ.. The force, intelligence, he didnโt have a weakness when he was in his prime. There was no answer for him. He was like the Queen on the chess board. Could do everything.โ

A quick reminder that there are people on this app who believe that Victor Wembanyama losing in the NBA Finals would be worse for his legacy than if he had lost Game 7 to the Thunder.
And if he loses in the NBA Finals at age 22, he can never be considered the GOAT no matter what happens for the remainder of his career.
Hereโs LeBron (same age as Wemby) scoring 29 of the Cavs final 30 points, including the game winner to close out a double overtime game on the road in the ECF 2007.
