Yeah. Of all the self owns that's probably the most embarrassing.

How exactly is that a knock on MJ? LMAO

He was the greatest player of all time on the greatest team of all-time.

More "faulty logic" from your big brain.

Didn’t mean to downvote this one. But man LeBron played in ****in Cleveland. It’s no wonder he left for Miami

Lebron is 1x scoring champion.

Imagine if Mahomes only had 1 season of leading the league in yards/touchdowns.

Nobody faulted him for simply leaving though.

Lebron gets a pass for trying to build multiple super teams, but his competitors are pussies for fighting fire with fire.

"Faulty logic"

Why do you think "MJ fans" would feel any differently about lebron for passing a record that MJ never owned? If lebron had passed Michael for #1 then I'd understand why you'd think they were being defensive about lebron being #1. But as it stands it changes nothing in the debate between the two since MJ never claimed that title.

Also, it should probably be pointed out here that basketball HOFers Dennis Rodman and Toni Kukoc didn't come through the draft.

Maybe if lebron didn't force his teams to trade all their draft capital and young talent all the time his teams could have developed some players.

Looks like somebody isn't familiar with the 2003-2010 Cavs.

LeBron adding one of the most significant records in basketball history to his body of work appears to have bothered them. I think it's obvious why that would be.

It's as meaningful as Emmitt Smith becoming the all-time rushing leader.

Absolutely hilarious that it means more to you than championships. More "faulty logic".

The teams that only kept their first round draft picks for 1-2 years (one lasted 3) before trading them for veterans?

Or that didn't have a 1st round pick in 05, 07 or 10?

What were you trying to prove?

Hold up, are you suggesting here that LeBron was in any way responsible for how the Cavs built those teams? How Larry Hughes and Mo Williams were the best players he ever played with on them?

Talk about your revisionist history.

Any way responsible? Absolutely

Was he effectively being the gm all those years like he became in the lead up to his move to Miami and then continued for the rest of his career? No.

And I'd contend Carlos boozer, Anderson verijao and zydraunas ilgakus (spelling is wrong on those two I'm sure) were as good or better than the two you mentioned.
