Re: LBJ is a generational player...

When you say MJ is the GOAT. The greatest of all time. You are talking about him as a basketball player correct? That is where the discussion should begin and end when comparing Lebron and MJ. Basketball.

I don't know why people get so upset about what Lebron says, tweets, does OFF the basketball court. He is a professional basketball player. I could bore you with countless things he has done off the court that has benefited not only his community but others. But I also know based on your comment you couldn't careless about any of that stuff.

if the GOAT conversation is, as it should be, about basketball, then in my opinion there is absolutely a discussion to be had.

If you want to bring in off the court stuff. Not interested. Especially if we are just going to think MJ was a saint.

I’m not seeing the crowd that thinks MJ

is a good guy, but maybe I missed something.

Lebron wants people to think he is selfless, on and off the court. I think he’s disingenuous because he never misses an opportunity to tell people about his great philanthropy efforts, subject by your saying you could bore us with all his giving back. He wants people to think he’s an intellectual, educated, and centered in the “common folk.” Most know this is false. Lebron uses politics to get what’s best for Lebron and doesn’t seem to have a great sense of loyalty. If Lebron invested in really giving back to the community vs the image he thinks he’s projecting of giving back, he’d be hero in my eye. He’s not. Much like MJ, who is the undisputed GOAT (buck stops at championship stats, sorry), Lebron isn’t a hero off the court. He’s hardly a leader on the court with his constant whining, lobbying with the referees and generally only playing at one end of the court.

So neither get any nods from me, one way or the other, off the court. At least MJ doesn’t try to parade under a falsehood about who he is, but I digress.
