What makes him the GOAT? Nothing, because hes not. LeBron is the GOAT. Its so funny whenever people mention the number of rings, sure NBA is about winning but i hope youre aware that rings is a team accomplishment, and people pretending Michael didnt have help are obviously fooling themselves. And lets not pretend that the athletes arent way better than in the 90s, i swear if we didnt have an easy way to meassure a 100M runner / sprinter 1:1 there would be alot of people proclaiming that Maurice Greene is the best 100M sprinter of all time and half of yall probably dont even know him, in NBA theres too many variables to be able to do that. But LeBron is not only the best basketball athlete of all time, i think its safe to say hes the best athlete across all sports of all time, i will easily hands down say that even if he doesnt ever win a ring again, nothing and absolutely nothing compares to his athleticism, hes a freak of nature, add his basketball capabilities and bball IQ and mentality on top of that and you have something that i dont think anyone will ever come close to again. Ever. Oh and did i forget to mention what a great human being he is off the court, this is just on-the-court stuff and he could be a total douchebag off the court, but hes actually a fantastic human being. And yeah id totally suck his D if he asked me, but holy fuck nothing compares to him.
