Why I Consider LeBron James the Goat!

[cdwright40]

I consider what he does on and off the court. How he unselfishly represents his community. People love to come here and talk about all the killings in Chicago as a political football. They don't take the time to acknowledge what James does for kids to give them an opportunity. Kids that come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

i remember when people used to Hate Mohomad Ali for not going to fight a BS war while so many african americans were being mistreated right here in their own home. By the time he passed away he was a hero. I am not waiting. james is worth hundreds of Millions of dollars and he could easily keep his mouth shut so he doesn't get taxed. He doesn't. He is fighting for those less fortunate.

5 Reasons LeBron James Is The Greatest Of All-Time

The case for the greatest NBA player of all-time may never be settled. But LeBron James is making an eloquent argument with each passing year.

You make reference to the killings in Chicago as a political football. Call it what you want but Beetlejuice is not fixing the problem. She is another out of touch Democratic mayor that is a failure at her job. I don't expect a Republican in Chicago, but there has to be someone out there that can run that city successfully. It happened in N.Y. with Giuliani and to a lesser degree with Bloomberg. I think Labron is like many other Black athletes , actors and entertainers that they may say something as long as it doesn't effect their pocketbook. Once that happens...crickets. I saw Jamie Fox in attendance at George Floyds funeral. The only one with any stature. Frankly, I do not feel Labron's sincerity.

What he did off the court was to falsely claim racism when he lied about someone spray painting racist graffiti on his mansion. What kind of POS would try to stir up racial problems over something that didn't happen. He should be sharing a jail cell with the other POS, Jussie.

Cool story bro. Nobody cares if you feel his sincerity. He puts his money where his mouth is. He paid to get kids a private school education. I promise pledge. His money talks. You don't have to feel anything.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and watched Jordan. It was must see TV. It was a different league back then. The physicality and competition between teams was at another level. I dont know what "it" is but Jordan had it and Lebron doesnt...at least not at Jordan's level.

His politics are hypocritical and ignorant at best.

The quality of players is much higher today than it was in the 80's and 90's. There is no doubt about this fact. it is a global game now. Much higher quality of players and they make it look easy. LeBron is must see TV as well. At least when he was down 3 games to 1. There is a reason nobody in NBA history could pull that off. When people on this board were mocking him and calling him a clown he was winning and lead his team to victory. GOAT style.

I care and others have responded in a similar manner. You need to read their responses. For me ,he is a self serving individual who is managing along with others to send messages via the NBA that has resulted in horrible ratings . As usual your post is pure drivel!

I have no idea what this drivel means. I need to read whos responses? LeBron James is not responsible for the NBAs ratings. That's a pretty stupid assertion too. He is just a player.

Come on now. White people arent allowed to discuss basketball and politics?

Who said that? Whitesplaining IS America.

 

[ellu]

. I guess I dont understand your statement. There is a public figure who plays basketball and talks politics. Seems that opens ones self up to discussion. It doesnt have to be about race just because he happens to be black.

OP was specifically identifying it racially. Not. A single person or example has been interjected that wasn’t racial.
Either you are not participating in the same conversation that others are or your obfuscation is intellectually dishonest. Either way...enjoy the “discussion” because it’s so very deep and nuanced and informative and (add Emo Phillips ands infinitum).

The NBA has chosen to have Lebron be its face. They chose to back off of calling out the use of SLAVE labor in China by Nike when Lebron told them to do so (after the Chinese told Lebron to do so). Lebron is an amazing basketball player. He can drive, shoot, pass and defend with the best in NBA history. He is a physical beast. I applaud him for not being a junkie and taking care of his body.

But let's not kid ourselves. Lebron is not very bright. He never attended a single college course. I doubt he even took a challenging HS course as professional basketball was in his future from around 8th grade.

I respect Lebron's ability to drive, post up and hit a turnaround jumper at a key moment.. But when it comes to anything off the court, I put Lebron with the average 3rd grader as far as his knowledge. When he talks about politics, and world history related issues, you might as well have a successful welder pretending to be an expert about heart surgery. Lebron would not understand Mao (and Communism) from a loose ball foul?

But the NBA has made him their face and he thinks he knows more about everything than everyone. I am sure he thinks he knows more about UM football than CD Wright because he once played basketball in Miami.

Michael Jordan saved the NBA, dramatically increasing its ratings and interest. Lebron is now destroying the NBA. Not by his baskeball skills - they are awesome, but by his hubris in that he thinks he is smart and other people care about what he has to say about subjects that he has no knowledge or experience about. And by his arrogant and condenscending attitude towards the fans that are paying the bills.

OMFG.....Please make this stop. I don't even know where to begin. LeBron understands he doesn't need to take college courses to be smart. That's an asinine assertion. No, he doesn't get credit for not being a junkie and taking care of his body. That's the most racist shit I have heard here in forever.

The guy is worth almost a half a billion dollars and never had his daddy hand him anything. He did it all on his own. Not privilege's just hard work and perseverance. lebron should be the face of the league because he is highly impressive.

Actually no it isn't. He isn't getting into trouble off the court. He is a model citizen. No gambling problems, no problems with women, no problems at all. A great role model that puts his money where his mouth is.

Those are valid points, but he chose to take a derisive and polarizing political position that has hurt HIS League. See Tiger Woods. Played Golf with Trump and knew him pre-presidency but will say nothing about Trump, or any other volatile issue, other than "you have to respect the office". Smart.

Man this is America. People don't have to agree with your political views to be model citizens. Tiger Woods by all accounts is a horrible person. I really don't care who he supports politically. He is just a shit person. That has been proven out. James is a good person....and he supports who he supports. Nobody has to agree with who he supports. It's his right as an American.

Hey cd, Lebron can do whatever he damn well pleases for all I care as, to your point, this is a Free Country(at least for now). With regards to Woods being a "shit" person and James being a "good" person, unless you know them both personally you don't have a clue as to who they are.

yeah, I don't need to know them both personally. I can judge them based on their actions. I don't know Trump personally either but I am pretty confident he is a shit person....lol
