Lebron James (Philadelphia 76ers)

[Romanowski]

Philly fans will tear his ass up the moment he starts bitching and moaning. I give less than five games. Honeymoon ends after Q3 game 1. What happens when Embiid shuts it down midway through game 20 too?

Literally everyone I know that’s always been a Laker fan has tuned out and now excited to start paying attention again

With their NBA version of the Fighting Illini that they're trotting out this season, it may be worth waiting another year or so before getting excited about them.

They go as Embiid goes and he hasn’t shown any ability to stay healthy.

LeBron wrecks bigs wherever he goes. He ruined in order:

Bosh
Love
AD
…..and soon to be Embiid.

For whatever reason, LeBrons style has always minimized “bigs” and turned all world players into above average role players.

probably because he's not anything close to the GOAT he (and ESPN) have proclaimed him to be.

Truly great players make everyone around them better, then in crunch time they take over and dominate. I don't watch NBA anymore but when he was young, I never saw that from LeBron. I actually watched him quit against the Celtics in a playoff round early on (forget the year 09-10 maybe). That was all I ever needed to see.

Russel, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe...they'd die before they'd quit.

This was when I got off the train, and never came back on.

Some players HATE to lose. Other players love to win. The players you listed hated losing. I've always believed that Lebron loves winning and that is what has always been missing in his game. Probably goes down as the most physical freak in the history of the NBA, but i don't see him as the goat.

In your defense, what I said absolutely applies to the 6ers too
