Earvin “Magic” Johnson says LeBron James has a little Michael Jordan, a lot of Magic, and carried Cleveland teams that had no business reaching the NBA Finals “He’s between both of us. He’s got a little Jordan and a lot of me.” “The great thing about LeBron, he brings it every single night for 20 years.” “Those Cleveland teams, he had to bring it.” “He put them on his back. That’s hard.” “He did that and took them to the Finals.” “They clearly didn’t have enough talent to be in the NBA Finals.” “They had no business in the NBA Finals.” “That’s why he’s remarkable. That’s why he’s special.”

Paul Pierce says LeBron James had a greater influence on winning than Michael Jordan in NBA history. “LeBron has the greatest influence on winning.” “From Day One, you put him on a team, they’re a better team than if he’s not on it.” “Jordan did too.” “But LeBron’s influence on winning is greater.” “When you look at the teams he took to the Finals, it’s like, ‘Damn, you dragged them.’”

Draymond Green on apologizing to Jalen Brunson for saying he’s not a 1A guy in the NBA: “The reason I said that is because I’ve been very critical of Jalen Brunson just not thinking that, hey man, he’s this 1A guy that and here’s the thing what y’all have to understand about me. When I say 1A, when I say 1A, what I’m saying is no matter what you go to, you’re the guy. Allah Steph Curry, Allah LeBron James, Allah Luka Doncic, Kawhi, like there’s only really five to seven 1As in all of the NBA. And so it’s never like a shot like y’all try to make at it Jalen Brunson. I just think there’s only like five of those guys that no matter what team you put them on, they’re the best. That’s 1A to me. That’s 1A. Needless to say, I’ve been very critical. And I think he last night take a 3-1 lead I think. I think they’re on their way to a championship. And I am not somebody who can’t say they’re wrong.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Nick Young on LeBron James comments about the GOAT debate: “I feel like every time you even speak to LeBron it’s a problem like, if you say anything about LeBron being the goat are anything comments going to fill up and people get mad it’s outrageous. I feel like Jordan never had to deal with this type of media. He couldn’t do no wrong. And now we in a place where everybody has a voice it’s not just 2 channels on cable. Everybody has their voice and I feel like the tune going to change when this generation becomes and take the spot, it’s going to be all LeBron the young generation love LeBron.” (Via Gil’s Arena)

Stephen A. Smith claims Michael Jordan is the absolute GOAT over LeBron James. "There's no way that you could watch Michael Jordan and LeBron James and think that Michael Jordan is not the GOAT." "Michael Jordan has 10 scoring titles. Michael Jordan was a nine-time All-NBA Defensive Team member. Michael Jordan won six titles, six NBA Finals MVPs. Never once allowed a championship series to get to a Game 7." "Michael Jordan ruined franchises... That means Karl Malone, John Stockton, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Kevin Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, Reggie Miller, Rik Smits... there's nothing to talk about here. These are facts." "I got LeBron James on the Mount Rushmore of basketball... but he's lost six NBA Finals. Did you see the soft-ass competition he had to go through in the Eastern Conference?"

Allen Iverson says Kobe Bryant deserves to be in the GOAT conversation with Michael Jordan and LeBron James “I get upset at times when people compare LeBron and Mike.” “Out of sight, out of mind is real.” “Nobody talks about the Mamba when they’re comparing who’s the best to ever play.” “I’m not shitting on LeBron.” “If you looked up the word ‘basketball player’ in the dictionary, it’d be a picture of LeBron James.” “He’s that great.” “Every aspect of his game.” “But as far as the GOAT, it’s Michael Jordan all day long.” “And Kobe Bryant is right on his heels.”

If LeBron had played in the '90s, the entire Jordan conversation would look a lot different. • No team in LeBron's era was able to maintaining an undefeated Finals record. • LeBron didn't avoid dynasties—he figured them out and beat them. He took down the Spurs dynasty, ended the Heatles narrative by becoming the leader of it, and delivered the greatest comeback in Finals history against the 73-win Warriors. Jordan dominated his era by being the only super team in the ‘90s. LeBron conquered an era defined by superteams and dynasties. That's why the GOAT debate isn't as simple as counting rings.

Who do I want to make the play? LeBron James Max: I want Jordan doing everything at the end of the game Rich: Not true. LeBron is best decision maker to ever play. No if, and, or buts.

Charles Barkley reaction to LeBron James joining the Heat in 2010: “I was disappointed. I wanted LeBron to stay in Cleveland. I think it’d be a lot more significant and important to win a championship in Cleveland than in Miami if he wins it…. If I was 25, I’d try to win it by myself. I would make sure I was THE guy on the team…. LeBron is never going to be the guy. Dwyane Wade has already won the championship. So, it’s his team…. It’s not like he was playing on a bad team. I wish he would’ve tried to win by himself as THE guy” (Via NBATV 2010)

Skip Bayless completely destroyed the “Bronsexuals,” his opponents in the GOAT debate 🔥 ・Skip Bayless ''Michael Jordan is the goat and laughably better than LeBron James.'' ・Bronsexual''Nice to meet you. I’m a big fan of your career, everything you stand for in this industry, but— But. this awful take, I’m not going to let it seep through. So, Michael Jordan, there are two angles to looking at the goat debate. Number one, could Michael Jordan have done what LeBron is doing in this era and vice versa? The other angle is, is there any single thing that Michael Jordan has done over the course of an entire career better than LeBron James? So, I’m asking you, is there one thing that you could definitively say that Michael Jordan did better than LeBron James over the course of his entire NBA career?'' ・Skip Bayless ''won better. He just won and won and won. He was invincible and unbeatable and he went six and 0 in the finals with six MVPs and no, but the beasts were in the East and he devoured and slayed the beasts one after another, Bird, Celtics, then the Bad Boy Pistons and then Reggie Miller’s Pacers and when when you go six and 0 with six MVPs in the finals versus four and six in the finals for LeBron'' —Source: (Jubilee Media)

Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success: “LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

This is dumb because without context everything sounds right. But the fact is that Kobe played with one of the worst rosters during possibly the strongest Western Conference of all time. The year LeBron went to the Finals in 2007, the entire All NBA 1st team and the entire All NBA 1st defensive team was represented by 10 PLAYERS ALL FROM THE WEST (Kobe being on both of them). That’s 10 players that were the cream of the crop of the league on both ends all in the freaking Western conference. Lebron coasted through the East always. From 2014 - 2018, the Eastern conference didn’t have ONE SINGLE ALL NBA 1st TEAM SELECTION (outside of LeBron James). All the best players played in the Western conference. Back to 2007, Kobe had an all time bad roster and yet he played the Suns team that boasted two All NBA 1st team players in Nash and Amari. Kobe’s averages in that series he lost to the Suns: 33PPG| 5Reb| 4Ast on 46%FG| 36%3PT| 92%FT When it’s LeBron it’s “He loses to tougher competition but he’s great”. When it’s Kobe it’s “He’s the mamba, what happened?” Different set of rules for Kobe always when Stephen A Smith is on the mic. Just like he punishes Kobe for having Shaq but not punishing Magic and Kareem for having eachother. A joke. Stephen A Smith has NEVER responded to these obvious hypocritical views concerning Kobe. Nasty
