19 all-star games in 20 seasons and he's not even close to finished. Truly the GOAT.

What would LeQuit James do without KCC here to defend his honor on CP???

I think the better question is what would CP do in its yearly NBA thread if it couldn't trash LeBron? He completes you.

Oof. Big sad now that Barry is probably off limits for his Mahomes slander. That's a YUUUUGE chunk of content suddenly missing from the 'Lebron James Gawk Gawk 9000' catalogue.

Figures that a bundle of sticks ass Lebron dick rider would turn on the NFL's MJ.

Barry's down bad due to his Eagles. He'll bounce back to his usual defenses of LeBron and Mahomes by next week, I'm sure.

When Mahomes wins 8 rings dinking & dunking & Brady fans act like it's not impressive even though they call Brady the GOAT for doing it >>>>>>>>>

Yeah he's all right. Still getting his shots in at the fraud and his fans as well.

Can only hope all of this means he's going to figure a way out of that disaster this summer.

The disaster he created.

He's not going to try to get out. He has ZERO interest in leaving. Because YOU care more about James winning championships than he does. You have bought so much of his bullshit that in a way it's endearing.

He's been a fraud his entire career. A disingenuous huckster who has always been better at blaming others for his failures than he has been at actually succeeding.

Irony of it all is LeBron would have better in Jordan's era than he would be in today's NBA. His physical size and ability were perfect, today the 3 point shot is the great equalizer that it wasn't then.

Still one hell of a career, second best player behind Jordan. His douche canoe off the court hurt him more than his play on the court.

So he's now gone from being a team-jumping ring chaser to being a disingenuous huckster who doesn't care about winning at all. For consistency's sake, you clowns need to make up your mind about which narrative you want to hate on LeBron with and stick with it.

They are less than 3 games out of the play in game and less than 5 games out of the 6 seed and they traded away their biggest problem. But they aren't in a playoff push? Give me a break.

Yes.

Although he also started out seeking individual glory. Then became a ring chaser, then went looking for individual glory again.

You've gotta be kidding me. They have one of the worst records in the league as it is and at best they're going to lose in the 1st round in 4 or 5 games (that's if LeBron/AD somehow stay healthy long enough enough to get them in and through the play-in games). They're awful.

Or maybe he just started out in Cleveland without any help at all, went out to find some help and got some in Miami, Cleveland and LA to win titles, and now has no help again (in addition to just generally being 38 years old and well past his prime). That would be too simple, I guess.

Not kidding. They should make the playoff game with their roster and the state of the western conference. If they don't at this point it's on LeBron. He's good enough by himself to win enough games to make up 3 games on 3 teams ahead of them. But he's choosing to rest now that's he got the scoring title.
