Lebron on Castle

[CardiacAndre7]

He wouldn’t have been the physical monster that he is if he played in the 80’s. He’d have been great, but not as good. He would have been skinnier, wouldn’t have shot the ball as well and he would have been guarded with hand checking. Probably, a lot like Magic physically but with more explosiveness and less innate feel for the game.

Strongly disagree

My theory is that many if not most people will never forgive him for “The Decision” — the way he rolled it out and the decision itself to join his banana boat buddies rather than shoulder the load himself.

Personally, he won me over when he went back to Cleveland and did just that: put the team on his back and win a title. I think he’s also matured a lot over the years. For as much as he’s in the spotlight, he operates with class.

You don’t have to like him, but if you can’t recognize that what he’s doing at 40 in a league based on athleticism is so far beyond what we’ve ever seen from any other athlete, then you’re a hater.

I don’t root for LeBron. (Probably vs the Warriors was the only times I ever have.) But I respect the heck out of him.

What he’s doing is incredible no doubt, Brady-ish to say the least (and they both flopped and whined too lol). The argument for goat is there although not with me.

But he’s just not a great guy. Good guy overall yep but thinks he’s more important than who he actually is. The NBA has to have an in season tournament in order to get people like him to play close to a full season. He gets his average at best son drafted in a ridiculous move and selfish as well.

Other than that great guy

It’s so entertaining and odd.

Yes, its so odd that people wouldn't like a hypocritical blowhard.

 

[Scoe]

I don't even think it's so much Lebron himself it's the media. The algorithm of Lebron click bait gets shoved in your face. The Lebron stans are just as annoying as the Lebron haters it's the case with anyone.

Maybe if the sports media covered more sports instead of breaking news on Lebron's thoughts on the day he would have less haters, it is what it is click bait articles generate traffic it's what the media wants.

But he asks for it doesn’t he? Then report it. Sorry he gets what he deserves.

Michaels issues gambling and such, otherwise he wasn’t too concerned about letting us know all of this thoughts same with the likes of Tiger. This guy wants to be the center of attention therefore why not report it?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Strongly disagree

Seriously. People throw around ‘generational’ a bit too much in sports but generational does not really capture how dominant of an athletic specimen LeBron is. You can drop peak lebron in whatever time period you want and he’s easily the most dominant athlete.

 

[TheHorde]

I don’t think we need to worry about LeBron curing cancer anytime soon.

That's true he certainly doesn't help himself in that regard, I doubt he cares either, but it is funny to see people constantly cry for him as if they know him personally.

That’s fine but it’s the likely reality. 6’9” guys weren’t directed to shoot tons of 3’s and players weren’t bulking up and using steroids back then. It was a different time and Lebron would have gone with the times. It has nothing to do with Lebron as a player or person, just the game and training of those days. Also, I compared him to Magic, I didn’t say he’d be Bill Laimbeer.

The first multitalented swing man I recall really bulking up was Pippen and I don’t think he did it naturally. Magic, Bird, McHale, Dominique Wilkins and Jordan were lean and wiry because that’s what players were back then.

Yeah the guy who just passed Stockton for most career regular season games definitely doesn't play enough

We worship hypocritical blowhards in this country.

First time I've ever checked out his social media. Yep, he still sucks...

Anybody in LeBron’s position who could have gotten to play with his son would have done whatever he did.

I don’t think he pretends to be anything he isn’t.

The guy’s been in the spotlight for 23 years and that’s all you can come up with—that says it all.

I think MJ is the goat but I’ll take LeBron over Kobe as a player and teammate any day of the week.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Bron would’ve averaged 35-10–10 in the 80’s. I’m with you 100%, it’s hilarious people think Lambier type guys would’ve had any effect on him.

Lebron has never been that type of scorer even in a scoring friendly era. That being said he`d be great regardless.

Alex English averaged 30. LeBron could/would do what he wanted in that era.

No you’re so wrong nomar. You would do what you could do for your son or daughter as long as they deserved it. This is the NBA it’s not FedEx getting your kid a spot as a driver. He made the Lakers take someone who not only is not deserving now of a job in the NBA there’s a very good chance he never will be. What I came up with is true your reply is ridiculous!

 

[mauconnfan]

Not sure I said anything about his numbers did I? Please point that out for me?

Do you deny he had many a questionable “injury” in many seasons to take some games off? If you do you’re lying to yourself!
And MJ, Larry and many others never took days off without real injuries and I mean real!

De'Aaron Fox scored 109 points his past two games combined, LaMelo Ball is averaging 30.

Yeah. LeBron is 40

Will people here now like LeBron?

No

How many second round picks from 3 years ago are playing for the teams who drafted them?
