In my 30s. I have watched every NBA finals since 96. I firmly believe James is the best to ever lace em up. People fall back on BBall reference and stats too much. Trust your eyes.

Space jam came out when I was an impressionable 9 years old. If anyone should have an inflated opinion on MJ it should be me, the guy whose generation never saw him lose.

When you play with LeBron, you’re playing into June every season. 100+ games every season. Very few are built for that. All his best teammates (Kyrie, Love, Bosh, and Wade) have all had durability issues. When Lebron has had a team that was good enough and healthy enough, he’s won.

The only thing you can critique him for is a 4-game sample size that happened 8 years ago. Out of ~1500 games he’s ever played, all you have are those 4 games. That’s it. No one has played their entire career under such perpetual pressure and he’s come out more flawlessly than anyone could have ever imagined.

But I despised how much he flopped when he played for Miami. Thank god he’s put that shit behind him
