Lebron is the best of this era. It’s tough to crown him the GOAT because it’s a different game now. I personally don’t like Lebron. For his size he shouldn’t be flopping, he complains way too much, and the bullshit last night where he walked off while his teammates were on the court congratulating the warriors is classless. Show some respect and sportsmanship.
Pippen wasn't a great player?
Or is that mangled sentence trying to say that anyone other than Pippen wasn't a great player?
But they were better. Especially than the role players on Cleveland. Harper was a former all-star, Kerr and Paxson were knock down shooters who could also put the floor a bit. Far different than a guy like Kyle Korver who is useless other than when wide open and we know about JR Smith. Cartwright was a solid big man who had range outside of the paint, unlike a guy like Tristan Thompson who is not threat on anything but putbacks. Same with Nance JR. And don't forget the Bulls also had Toni Kukoc who was one of the best 6th men around. Add it up and they had a lot more firepower on their roster than do the Cavs. At no other position would I give a nod to the Cavs vs. those Bulls teams. And that includes Kevin Love and his matador defense. No need to even discuss the reserves its that strong in the Bulls favor.
I'm saying other than Pippen, they weren't great players.
If you can't understand the sentence, maybe brush up on English 101 a little bit.
The best player in history wouldn’t have Lebron’s finals record. He wasn’t even the best player in this series. Durant is better.

Keith, to be fair, when LeBron came out of the game for the last time, he walked over to each GS player on the floor to congratulate them. Time was out, and TV was in commercials, but they later showed pix of him hugging KD, etc. Just that it was too painful to be part of the post game hoopla. He gave everything he had and could not get that band of gypsies plus Kevin Love further than he did. KD is more talented overall, but he doesn't have LeBron's will. KD is super happy to be one instrument in a band, often called upon for solos, but at other times, playing harmony as another band member solos. LeBron is a leader, a complete basketball player. As he ages, it is more about him than it used to be, but he was called on to do much more this year than any other player in the league.
I'm a Knick fan, and wouldn't want him to go to the Knicks, but can appreciate how great he is and how much he cares.
TL
I don't know if he was ever the most dominant NBA player in a given season, though - even in 1987-88 (MJ).
Agreed, but walking off w/o congratulating the Warriors was not classless. He already had his curtain call and he showed respect and sportsmanship to his opponents then in a game where they were getting blown out of the water.Lebron is the best of this era.

No, they weren't better. John Paxon and Steve Kerr were marginal players. Same for Bill Cartwright or Luc Longley. Claiming Toni Kukoc was one of the best 6th men around is laughable. I actually watched those guys play. They weren't that good.
Pippen wasn't even really that good either. He was really overrated by virtue of his being Robin to Jordan's Batman.
and now here comes the excuses from him on why they got swept. I hurt my hand after game 1. Boo Hoo.This discussion is over. Lebron getting smoked renders this topic useless.

Meanwhile Jordan was scoring 40 points and could barely walk with the flu. And winning.and now here comes the excuses from him on why they got swept. I hurt my hand after game 1.
Yeah Isiah, Dominique, McHale, Rodman, Worthy were all more accomplished players as the time of selection.I tend to agree that he was somewhat overrated. In my mind, shouldn't have been on the Top 50 greatest list when that came out, and also didn't really deserve to be on the 92 Olympic dream team. Isiah Thomas got screwed big time. Apparently because, as with everything else, things were catered to Jordan.
