Were you an Alex Smith fan and supporter?

The dude that made up a hate crime to earn public sympathy is the Real Lebron.

Of course and they all know this. MJ is the most amoral businessman there could ever be.

No?

It was a soft triple, but Murray was the double who changed the play.

AD wasn't their best player against Denver and that's why they got swept.

Never anything on that ay? Just his cute little convenient story and no follow up.

Just curious as you are essentially one of them except your Alex Smith is Lebron.

LeBron was 9 for 24 in Game 7 and ****ing deferred to Kyrie at the end. LMAO

Just had everything painted over real fast, man. Went out there with his own Wagner Power Sprayer and had it knocked out quick as a hiccup...

Oh, and wasn't it LeBron that went on TV a few years ago and announced that he was "now the GOAT"?LMAO


MJ, when asked that question, was quick to say that he never thought of himself that way or said that about himself, because he felt that there were so many great players that came before him that he didn't want to be that kind of asshole.

The greatest play in NBA Finals history. MJ would never.

LMAO LMAO give me a ****ing break

Alex Smith was a league average QB and was a solid stopgap for the Chiefs while we waited to get a franchise guy. No idea what he has to do with the greatest basketball player of all time.

So in the final 3 minutes of game 7 he was 0-1 from the field and 1/2 free throws. Kyrie outscored him.

Is this the epic 'taking over a game' that I've been waiting for?

Remember when Lebron basically demanded that the NBA suspend Draymond after he tried to step over him and bait him into a reaction?




https://i.imgur.com/fzp1boh.gif

Is he supposed to lie? His numbers are shattering every record in the books. The guy is averaging 30 point triple doubles in year 20. What he's doing is completely unprecedented.

Except we all know that he is that kind of asshole and that he was lying.

Draymond kicking multiple people in the nuts in a single postseason is what did him in, not LeBron.

I love how KCC says that titles are a team accomplishment.

BUT

Lebron is the GOAT because he took down the 2016 Warriors ALL BY HIMSELF.

Let's just ignore that Kyrie was also fantastic in that series. Kyrie put up legitimate finals MVP type of numbers too, just less that Lebron.

They were both great in that series, and yea, when it came down to it, Kyrie hit the big shot.

He had the block that won the game and facilitated the ball for the others in that stretch. He's always been more of a passer than a scorer, which makes it all the more funny and emblematic of his GOAT status that he's the all-time leading scorer.

Deflection.

Did Lebron not instigate it then cry like a bitch to the media to force the NBA's hand?

Like I said

https://i.imgur.com/fzp1boh.gif

So where were the assists in the closing minutes in Game 7?

MJ never had to take down a team as good as those Warriors. LeBron did it with three of the greatest games ever played in a row. His game 5 and 6 were absolutely absurd and he showed up when it counted in game 7 with the greatest play in NBA Finals history.

Hong Kong Lebron?

As you are aware, Kyrie scored the only basket in the last 5 minutes of that game on either team. Just like earlier this week, LeBron can't help the fact that nobody was hitting shots on his passes.

During that time, LeBron was playing his regular brand of elite defense including his ridiculous, game saving block on Iggy. He then finished the game with a FT to seal it.

GOAT stuff.

Because he WAS the Warriors.

That same Warriors team should've lost to OKC the round before. They went all in to try to top the GOAT with the greatest season ever, and they clearly ran out of gas at the end and Lebron AND Kyrie were just too good.

It was his most valuable ring, but at best it cancels out 2011.

MJ wasn't the Warriors. He needed Scottie to turn the Bulls into that. Look at his playoff track record without him.

And the 2016 ring is arguably the most impressive win in the history of basketball considering how one-sided in overall talent that series was in favor of the Warriors and how he came back from a 3-1 deficit.

LeBron was 0-4 from the field in the final 4:30 of that game.

GOAT stuff

LeBron hit the 3 to give the Cavs the lead with under 5 minutes to go, a lead they never relinquished due to his insane defense. The Warriors only even got 2 points the rest of the game.

MJ would never.

I'll never forget when he covered all five guys on defense by himself!

I love how Lebron Stan's repeat this stupid ****ing talking point.

MJ needed Pippen to win 6 right?

That's what's you're going with?

Lebron needed Wade, Bosh, Allen, Kyrie, Love, and AD to win 4.

What exactly is the point a Lebron Stan is trying to make here?

Just proof how weak Lebron's actual argument is.

Bc he WAS a prick. Can’t imagine practicing with MJ. Dude would have caught a lot of shit in todays NBA. Hell he socked Steve Kerr in the eye he was so pissed in practice and poor little Steve didn’t do anything.

I’m sure that would have went well in the age of social media.

Practicing with MJ must have been something else. I imagine a bit like this:

Of course you don't see it. Point is that your vigorous defense of all things Lebron regardless is no different than theirs with Alex. It has nothing to do with each player's skillset, it has everything to do with how much their fan boys defend any and everything they did.

Michael Jordan....didn't play defense.

That's what we're going with now.

Just....wow.

I mean, he was very possible the best on-ball perimeter defender in NBA history but that's the argument we're gonna try to have right now?

Neat.

Maybe if Lebron had that in him he would've won in 2011 and 2014, and KCC wouldn't have to cry about the Warriors 24/7 and he'd have a legit argument as the GOAT :shrug:

Instead, he channeled his inner asshole into being a LeGM team hopper and fake social justice activist that demonizes heroic police officers :shrug:

Except if LeBron wasn't the GOAT, I wouldn't defend him to this extent from those clowns who hate him exactly because of how good he is.

Same with Mahomes being the BOAT.

He claims to have watched Jordan and continuously downplays his defense. I've never even wasted my time going there with him because it's obviously futile.

Nobody said MJ didn't play defense. But I don't recall a play like this from him to win the NBA Finals, do you?

This is pure GOAT stuff.

MJ was a fantastic defender but he didn't have the size and strength to guard the variety of positions that LeBron has in his career.

Imagine him trying to guard Jokic like LeBron was doing. Laughable.

You don't remember a remarkable defensive play from Michael Jordan to win an NBA championship?

Okay...

Doesn’t matter if you like LeBron or MJ. LeBron leading his team back from 3-1 against a 73 win team will always be a historic accomplishment. That’s not really debatable.

It pretty much makes up for the biggest stain on his career that Dirk happily gave him.

i'll never forget that time lebron shut down jokic and the lakers swept the nuggets - GOAT STUFF!

That doesn't matter. Being more versatile doesn't make you a better defender.

Lebron is a big freak athlete, but not as good of a defender pound for pound.

Also, Lebron spent so much of the last several years not playing defense that you don't get to harp on longevity while also giving him a pass defensively when making comparisons to Jordan's defense.

Maybe someone like Karl Malone, perhaps?

I'm being punked at this point, right?

that gets him back to square zero then, not GOAT status

Karl Malone grew to Jokic size now? Incredible.

KC_Infection is just copying and pasting posts from the last 10 years at this point.

He masturbates nightly to that block from 2016.

Lebron is a more versatile defender - yup.

And Jordan was EASILY a better on-ball and perimeter defender. James, even at his prime, wasn't a great on-ball defender. A fantastic help defender because he has very good defensive instincts, but his defensive impact was not what Jordans was.

This is a truly bizarre pivot from KCC. I didn't even know this was a thing.

If AD showed up like he did in 2020 against Denver instead of flaking out, there's a decent chance of that happening.

Yea, he's this commited.

https://media.tenor.com/AQz3_zaiD14A...l-laughter.gif

Somebody didn't actually watch LeBron in his prime, it appears. The guy was the best defender in the league in his late 20s.

MJ literally changed the game; changed how it was played, changed how teams were constructed, changed the very importance of the game. The NBA is what it is today because of MJ.

Ah. Yes.

Fair point. Karl Malone truly was known for being small, soft and easy to muscle out of the paint.

I guess I see your point.

he let dirk walk all over him ROFL

More like 3-2 since game 5 was tainted with the suspension, am I right? I mean the games the Warriors won since one opponent were injured don't count according to kcc.

It's the greatest accomplishment in NBA history and those who are capable of seeing LeBron for what he is instead of being blinded by hate can acknowledge it.

I've never really considered it that way, but yeah - that's not wrong.

That Mavericks loss was pretty damn inexcusable. But the Cavs win was pretty equally unimaginable.

Yeah, that seems a bit of a wash.

Remember Lebron getting D'd up by JJ Barrea?

Yea, said the same thing earlier. I give Lebron full credit there, but at best it just cancels out 2011 because that was BAD.

Honestly for me, there was probably nothing Lebron could do after 2011 though. I just mean for arguments sake.

Translation:

"If AD had been the best player on the team, then I could claim LeBron carried the lakers to the finals."

Yes, they created the flagrant foul because he whined to Stern about the Pistons. Good point. Now there are flagrant fouls every game for what used to be a common foul.

On the contrary, I was the one saying AD was the best player on the team in both the Grizzlies and Lakers' series, so that is false.

LeBron has been the GOAT since he finished 2016 in that fashion. Statistically, he's only kept building that case enormously since then.

Barea is fouling him in at least 3 of those images. Disgusting what they let the Mavs get away with in that series.

Again, at best cancels out 2011, which you pretend to acknowledge but ignore every time you bring up 2016.

No point in acknowledging Barry level posts.

It more than supersedes any bad series he ever had, just like nobody brings up some of MJ's awful playoff performances against the Pistons after his run of titles.

LMAO this is pathetic

MJ took 8 shots in a ECF game in 1989 at his absolute physical peak, a game after he went 5 for 15. You have to wonder why it doesn't get talked about more.

1 game versus 5 straight no shows in the 4th Q in the Finals.

Everybody (including apparently MJ and LeBron) can have a bad playoff series. Not everyone can do this.

https://i.insider.com/51c3d72569bedd...jpeg&auto=webp

https://media.gettyimages.com/id/122...znvSwGGw0laF0=

MJ had the benefit of being on a completely stacked team where he stayed for (nearly) his entire career. LeBron had to move around and accomplished the feat at multiple other places, including the historic LA Lakers.

Advantage LeBron.

Wow, I thought you were some kind of NBA expert. Guess you don't remember the game before MJ.

Oh we remember.

it's all so very tiring at this point

just remember when you go to bed tonight, lebron is done winning titles

Like I said before the LeBron stans and the LeBron haters are both equal reeruns

No field goals by the GOAT in the final 5 minutes.

GOAT stuff
