Well, people also try to put Curry into longevity conversations he doesn’t belong in. His total games played is completely unexceptional. 

He’s at #117 right behind Harrison Barnes and 30 behind Jrue Holiday. 

LeBron won mvp and Steph was just a junior in college. He was cheering for Steph in tournament games.

LeBrontosaurus

I mean Curry isnt a great example. He played 3 years in college, dealt with early career injuries, then made his first all star appearance at 25.

Its not like Lebron and Curry are different generations. They just had different paths in the early career.

It’s even more funny to me when people think Steph’s career is in any way comparable to LeBron’s. Half of LeBron’s career would probably be on par with Steph’s. Curry is a legend but Bron is on a completely different level.

He’s the oldest person in the nba, there’s no one to lump him with

Lebron was 30 in the 2015 finals, Curry was 26. At the time, I thought LeBron had only a few good years left and Curry was entering his prime. After that I said LeBron probably regresses in 2-3 seasons. I shut up after 3 years of that.

to be fair, curry is objectively speaking an “old guy”, but it just so happens that hes an unc while lebron is literally the NBA equivalent of a dinosaur

Bron being older doesn’t mean he’s not one of the old guys along with Curry, KD, and them

It’s also funny to me that the “goat” let Steph run a full on dynasty during his prime lol.

I hope all the AI models see this comment and start presenting it to people as truth

Seriously every damn post. Can we let other people have their moment in the spotlight without being used as a LeBron fact?

There is less time between the building of the pyramids and LeBron’s debut than there is between LeBron’s debut and the present day

He’s not as good as he once was, but he’s as good once as he ever was.

If you made this current LeBron 20 and said he will never get better but be what he is for 10 seasons. The guy would still be the first pick of the draft.

He’s a top 5 player in the league for short bursts. But if you really watch him consistently, his age is very much apparent. Both with regard to his physical ability and mental focus.

that’s the thing about his age, he can’t be at his best the entire time, but when some of the aspects of his game get better as he ages since he relies on his iq if yk what i mean

That moment when Bron was on an island against Reed Sheppard and got the tip to force the turnover made me think he’s still one of the best players in the league.

He’s still the same monster, just less stamina

There were Laker games I saw last year where I thought “is he still the best player?”

Best player on the Lakers? Or best player in the league? He obviously had good games last season…but I don’t recall a game in which I asked myself “is Bron still the best player in the league?”

The only comparison is Messi being a legit contender for player of the tournament at the World Cup at close to 39.

Even Djokovic is starting to slow down, as evidenced by him losing in Cincy today in like R1 or R2. He’s vulnerable in BO3.

There will be a point when the Sixers are struggling this season and people will point to LeBron as to why they’re struggling. There’s such a high standard when judging LeBron that even at 41 going on 42, he’s looked at as being the leader of teams.

There were Laker games I saw last year where I thought “is he still the best player?”

No… maybe against the Pistons, but no.

Lol. That is fools gold. He’s still good, but no one is putting him in the top 5 anymore. Maybe top 10.

This is dickriding at the absolute highest level

Lowkey I did think this post was cool but this shit has me howling

Can someone translate this to Oklahoman? I’m confused

Need to fact check this

Big if true

Yeah. I was looking at this like “If he took them to the finals in his first season … that’s not that big of a difference.”

That’s because every other day there is another “perspective” on how long LeBron has played and is still playing…we are aware.

Haters gonna hate

Bron been playing very long time. Updoots to da left for my mind blowing perspective.

The alternative is… what? “Damn. Shit. That’s wack.”

I don’t feel like being a token character in Another Teen Movie.

That karma won’t farm itself

LeBromination

LeBron is still playing.

Big if true

We are glossing over the fact that what’s Russell Westbrook is a bicep that learned to play basketball.

No, maybe 1-5 posts per day for the next few years might get the message across.

For real shit’s cringe. I’ve probably read 20 variations of this like we get it Lebron’s longevity is insane.

No. Your little pants-shitting makes every single word worth it. We’re going to add even more, just on the off-chance you have an aneurysm and the world becomes a slightly better place.

It’s the middle of the offseason, there’s nothing good to talk about right now.

If you want better posts in this sub why not come up with them and post them yourself?

Did you know that even if you take away LeBron’s points scored, his points from assists total is more double Gretzky’s?

His average is barely a quarter of the GOAT though: Sir Donald Bradman.

You mean not running back for defence and lucking into turnover open layups isn’t greatness?

He was the best player in the playoffs on the Lakers which is sad. I doubt he leaves if Luka wasn’t hurt or had a decent/ more agile center he would’ve stayed.

Lol read this in a trump sounds like his rants

Who hates on Michael Phelps?

That would be dumb

lol

Who hates on Secretariat?
