Luka Doncic was traded to a team without a playable Center, got them to the #3 seed and 4 games into the Playoffs, one of which he played with the flu, Luka Doncic is averaging 32/7/5 on 62%TS
Now they are trying to gaslight us into believing this is all his fault 😂😂
As a lifelong Lakers fan, the dumbest decision of LeBron’s career was to come here.
There are 15+ teams he could’ve gone to in 2018 where he would be sitting at 6 championships right now if he went there.
It doesn't matter how many rings Lebron wins. It really doesn't. What he did in his era, along with the situations he was in, makes him the GOAT. Thrived against the toughest competition, thrived in a slow pace era, thrived in the fast pace era. He did more with less. There is only one finals you can argue he should've won, and multiple you can argue he easily should've lost (2013, 2016).
People who believe Jordan is the GOAT say Jordan's 6 titles mean more than Bill Russell's 11, John Havlicek's 8, because Jordan faced more competition. Is that not fair to say for Lebron as well? It's simply not possible to win two threepeats now. With how competitive it is, it's been difficult for teams to even repeat, the arguably most talented team ever had to be assembled for it to happen once in the last decade.
Think about it not as in how many titles he won, but how many titles he gave his teams chances to win. So many of his teams had no business chasing a title. He wasn't gifted an incredible defensive team with elite costars and coaching. Even when he formed a "superteam", his teammates production wasn't on the level of the non superteam stars costars (for example, Pippen, Gasol/Odom).
Lebron is simply the most well-rounded player ever, too. Elite playmaking, rebounding, shooting, passing, scoring, defense. His game is also incredibly adaptable and consistent. Compare him to players such as Kobe and Jordan, who relied on tough shotmaking to impact games. Lebron's ability to get to the basket and make plays has been ridiculed (because its not "pretty 💅", but it made him so much more reliable. Look at his Olympic stats compared to theirs. It's laughable.
Everything he has been doing since 2020 in these olden years has just been to add to his legacy. He's been more than impressive in these years. He's basically been in the Jordan Wizards phase of his career. Even if his next game is his last his legacy is cemented.
@CarrDerric94617 Team accomplishment during a worse era. Next? 10 scoring titles? He took more shots. Bron is more efficient and can make regulation 3’s.
A huge chunk of Jordan’s legacy is mythology. It’s rarely ever about actual basketball..cause if it was, it’d be extremely difficult to explain what makes him better than LeBron James, who is better than him at almost everything. Lol
