JFC, I probably dislike Lebron as much as any poster on this site, but to argue that he isn't one of the greatest basketball players of all time is ridiculous. His skills are top 5 of all-time. He is weaker than MJ mentally, but he has improved in that area every year.
The Decision was the stupidest marketing move in sports history, but he was 25 years old. Who hasn't made a dumb decision when they were 25, especially if ESPN was promising to be a part of that decision?
I think Lebron is an arrogant asshole and I hope he never wins another championship, but I can't deny his skill as a basketball player, his devotion to improving his skills, and his overall desire to be considered one of the best ever.
