Reasons why LeBron James is the greatest player in history (feel free to add to list)

[Lee]

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player in history.
There are countless reasons and honestly I can go on for days and days writing up countless paragraphs, but i am a bit sleepy, and i want you guys to contribute to this thread too, so i will keep it short for now.

- 2016, LeBron James did the impossible and overcame a 3-1 deficit in the nba finals which has never been done before, defeating the 73-9 Golden State Warriors who have been compared to the Bulls in 96. LeBron single handedly broke the 52 year championship drought in Cleaveland.
-LeBron James needs 575 points to surpass Abdul-Jabbar's career total of 38,387.
-four NBA championships, four Finals MVPs, four NBA MVPs, 17 All-NBA selections, 17 All-Star selections, the 2003-04 Rookie of the Year award and three All-Star MVPs, too
Two Olympic Gold medals

Feel free to add the reasons why LeBron is the GOAT. I can think of at least 100 more things, but I want you guys to contribute too

Winning multiple MVPs and titles with different teams, coaches, and players.

Winning multiple MVPs and titles with different teams, coaches, and players.

ring chasing, colluding and quitting on franchises isn't something to brag about


its much easier to hand pick situations every 4 years than to go through a rebuild organically

Take away the second best player on pretty much any championship team, and they don't win.

This should be penned!

I'll add some more:

2008: Playoffs vs. Celtics, goes 2/18 with 10 turnovers

2010: Quit on his team in the last 3 games to the point the Cavs owner and most casual NBA fans said "He quit"

2014: An Air conditioner beat him

2020: During the riots, stated "Cops are out here hunting down black men" Also 2020: The Clippers and Lakers agreed to not continue the playoffs and go "protest" until they were told they wouldn't receive bonuses. By that point almost all the players wanted to leave the bubble.

2019-2021: During his "look at me, I read" it's discovered he's never made it past the first page on any book.

Fact is, he's big and strong and can't shoot a lick outside of 5 feet, can't dribble, no footwork, constantly offensively fouls and habitually travels on almost every play.


This is your "GOAT?"

Take away the second best player on pretty much any championship team, and they don't win.

Except of course for Jordan, who game 6 of the 1998 Finals barely had Pippen that game (10 pts) and yet Mike dropped 45 pts, game winning steal and shot. Pippen missed about 1/2 that season.
So, there's that.

Hard to argue against OP’s thesis ngl.

[SouBeachTalents]

He's not a bald degenerate gambling sneaker hawking Space Jam making 55 wins without him played in the weak ass 90's sociopathic ball hogging piece of shit.

Also, he's not 1-9.

[Axe]

I wonder what starface, Akrazotile, Fourth Tenor and PANTHALASSA would think about this.

[Manny98]

Nobody put the fear of god in players like prime LeBron did

Nobody completely dominated an entire conference for well over a decade like LeBron did from 07-2018

Nobody compares LeBron to total amount of statistical accomplishments ect

He's easily the GOAT, I'm sorry but both MJ and Kareem are a tier below LeBron at this point
