I have a take….
Over the last few years LeBron has gotten extra credit for longevity in GOAT debates but it’s become the new norm rather than some extraordinary case. PG Dame Harden KD Steph Kawhi are all 35+ and doing the same thing. Times have changed it’s not as impressive
He's 100% correct. This is why LeBron is not respected amongst NBA legends. His legacy is tainted and therefore he cannot be in the Top 10. He's disqualified
Charles Barkley challenges the claim that LeBron James has had four Hall of Fame careers, arguing that stacking superteams should have resulted in more than four championships, while Shaq defends LeBron and reveals how he built the Lakers dynasty by demanding more star power.
Barkley questions why LeBron has only four championships despite playing alongside elite talent, especially when Michael Jordan won six. Shaq counters that recruiting top players is part of a superstar’s job, admitting he pushed the Lakers to bring in players like Rick Fox and Brian Shaw. The debate gets heated as both legends turn the argument toward each other’s championship runs and the role team building plays in defining greatness.

Bleacher Report Article [from 2008]
"Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of heated debate around Bleacher Report as to whether Kobe Bryant is the greatest player to ever play the game.
While the media loves to compare every young star to Jordan, this guy is the [only] one even close to MJ.
Some say he is better than Jordan, and some say he is already the greatest player ever. But when he finally hangs it up, he might very well be the best ever.
He is the best player in the league today, the best closer as well. Why he hasn't won an MVP yet remains a BIG MYSTERY."

BREAKING: Michael Jordan’s game-worn 1998 NBA Finals Game 3 jersey just sold for $12.26 million, the all-time record. (Sold on @joopiteronline)
Michael Jordan continues to be the king of basketball collectibles, and it’s not close. This is insane.

In 1986–87, Michael Jordan scored 3,041 points.
Nearly 40 years later, nobody has even reached 3,000.
The closest anyone came? Jordan himself the next season: 2,868.
Kobe in 2006: 2,832.
Harden in 2019: 2,818.
To pass Jordan, you’d have to average more than 37 points for all 82 games.
And while doing that, he also averaged 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.5 blocks.
Nearly four decades of extraordinary scorers have chased that season. They’re still chasing 23-year-old Michael Jordan.
There are levels to this.
🐐
