What's overstated about saying he's still not GOAT?
He wasn't good tonight
On another note, I've heard that apparently a lot of guys were coke heads in the 80's (including Bird). Maybe that's where Bird's confidence came from lol?yup. i'm a firm believer that talent level in both nfl and nba gets better and better simply because there is more money and bigger talent pool. today's soft era is very different compared to the past, but it doesn't mean today's players are worse. and IMO transcendent talents are transcendent. they would adjust and thrive in any era.
IMO nba did have best era in 80's and 90's only because players were more fundamental because they had to stay in college longer and they didn't have today's distraction. they had better centers because games were inside then out. but today we have much better shooters and wing players.
nfl too. IMO, 80's and 90's were great era. physical, tough, and less distraction. but doesn't mean today's players are worse than the past players. brady will be brady in any era.

Celtics will have their time to pounce. Glad we have a guy like Danny who won't make short sighted moves. Really hope we don't trade this pick, I really like the top of this draft.The eastern conference's garbage. I see Lebroni making more nba finals trip until he retires.
Yeah, Im a bit surprised in that regard. I can appreciate the fact that he's had some bad series' etc, but these last two finals have helped to shape my opinion that maybe some of that negative stuff is overstated.
I didn't say that he would become a scrub, but once hand checks became illegal the NBA became soft. There would have been less "freebie" points for LeBron. LeBron is a physical freak that would have been a great player no matter how physical the refs allow the player to be. But there is no chance in hell that he would be able to replicate his numbers.by your logic, Brady shouldn't be considered GOAT because today's NFL is soft as hell.
Bron is all time great. he would thrive in any era. dude is 6ft 8 255lb man child. he will adjust to physicality of the game just like he did against us in 2011. just too much talent on both ends. and scary thing is that he has another 5-6 years of high level basketball in him.
Where are all of these people who claim that he's the greatest of all time?
You bring this debate up on literally a daily basis lately, and I've yet to see people making that claim.
In my opinion, he's hovering somewhere around the top 10.

LeBron led all players on both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals & blocks (first to ever do it). Didn't deserve MVP lol?

He wouldn't sniff the finals if he played against the Bird Celtics or Laimbeer/Rodman/Thomas Pistons. Those guys would eat him alive and he would be checked out mentally in the first quarter
In the conversation of GOAT is my point.
When you're having that discussion, it's fair to point out a poor shooting performance, and a teammate who couldn't be stopped.
GS was a 1 point lead away from sending LBJ into turtle mode, but couldn't do it.
Then Kyrie hit the shot to sage LBJ a la Rau Alle
People would rather hate on greatness than respect it. You would think patriots fans of all people would choose to do the latter.
Yep. Has had most things handed to him just like PeytonDouchiness really clouds my ability to respect greatness.
