Lebron James has done almost everything he had in reach Wrong. Discuss.

I think he's just getting the hate he deserves. He's a very good player, but has failed too many times to be considered the best at this moment. And if that's underrating him, then I don't know what to say. Plus, he is an arrogant douche.

He's overrated when you're comparing him against Jordan, Magic, Bird, Kareem, etc etc. He's put up some great numbers, but fairly or unfairly, where he fits in historically will depend on how many championships he wins in an alpha role. A singularly great player can impact a game or a team moreso than basically any other team-oriented sport. This is likely why GOAT lists are often filled with players who won big as the Alpha dog, with a few rare exceptions ( Oscar only won one title, as Kareem's sidekick, but his numbers are just too extraordinary to keep him off a GOAT list).

pretty much this.

I do however feel the hate he gets is absolutely over the top, they are fueled by his antics, and seasoned with his 4th quarters in the finals. But still, its like dude is ML Carr waving a towell on the bench the amount of disrespect he gets.

He is an amazing player. But the only way he can silence his critics is not by getting a 50 pt triple double in MSG (unless its in the ECF or something like that)

He needs to use his massive frame and get on the low block, Bosh and Haslem out high can kill with the jumper so he will have enough room as long as Joel Anthony is on the bench. And he needs to play big when it counts.

This is a serious thread actually. Let's have an honest good discussion please.

That is a true statement. What...you can't handle it?

Haters are always gonna hate. He'll get his credit when it's all said and done. Barring any serious injuries I think most of us can agree Miami will win a title or two.

The only criminal thing about him is his family.

The hate gets over the top but so does the hype he gets way too much credit when he does something good. If its the 07 playoff run or the 60 win seasons ( Lebrons not worth 40+ wins nobody is) or most recently "shutting down" Derrick Rose. He gets too much hate when he does something wrong but he gets crazy overrated when he is doing well.

People were on this guys jock after two good playoff series that were not even that amazing and people think he will never get the credit.

damnnnnnn

[Legends66NBA7]

He's either best player in the game or the Top 2 or 3.

He's not underrated at all, really.

[pegasus]

He deserves hate? Is he a murderer now?

Every time he opens his mouth, he says something sooo stupid and annoying that it's impossible not to hate him. Plus, he's overrated by those who think he's the best player.

[Jacks3]

Definitely underrated. His peak was G.O.A.T level.
