POLL Lebron James and his all time ranking

[LogicMan]

top 5 player, #1 douche

 

[Rock Strongo]

I go the other way

Guys from past eras would never be able to compete at the same as athletes today

athletically, absolutely. like any sport.

toughness?

no way.

 

[Black Adam]

I honestly think it clouds an opinion of the guy as a player, when you hate the guy

But Top 5 is fair i guess

well, i'm not ready to kiss the guy's dick like the media and NBA does...

The media doesnt cloud my opinion of the guy as a player

Whatever team he is on is a Finals contender instantly

When he leaves any of those teams, they are lottery contenders

I dont know any player thats had that type of impact

Again, even MJs Bulls were very close to reaching the ECF when MJ went to play baseball

 

[Shanemansj13]

Top 5, in the 3-4 range. One more ship and he moves to 2. Two more ships and he is in the conversation with MJ IMO. I don't like to factor greatness just on ships but being MJ and Lebron are so great difficult to determine.

no way.

don't even get me started on the flopping. 80's someone might've clotheslined him for that shit...

 

[Heatles84]

Top 5. I have him at number 4 on resume. He's number 2 skill-wise though, if that makes sense to anyone.

Guys from past eras would never be able to compete at the same level as athletes today

Even if they were afforded the same training techniques, nutrition, travel arrangements, etc.?

 

[trojanfan12]

Currently, I have Lebron at #4 all time behind MJ, Kareem and Magic.

The Bad Boys Pistons or those old Spurs teams with Billy "The Whopper" Paultz would have beat him like he stole something.

i imagine sometimes what the paint USED to be...a place where only men went. drive that lane, you're paying for it. i miss that...

i close my eyes sometimes and picture lebron driving on rick mahorn or lambier, etc...and seeing him get whacked and cry for a foul, only to have one of those guys tell him to pull his pants up.

They did the same to Jordan, just an FYI

Jordan didnt beat the Pistons until they were an old broken down shell of their former selves

the same pistons team that went to 4 straight ECF and won 2 titles?

thomas was 29 when the bulls finally beat him. dumars, 27. rodman, 29. we call those prime years.

Call them what you want, look at their seasons that followed as evidence......They were the #5 seed the year after being swept by Jordan, and it was all downhill after that

 

[Rock Strongo]

not enough votes. less posty, more votey

this is the seeds I see:

88/89 - 1 seed
89/90 - 1 seed
90/91 - 2 seed (the year the bulls finally won)
91/92 - 3 seed
92/93 - 6th seed

and plop
