Some love Lebron James, and some hate him. Let me stop, thousands of trolls hate him and they are so trifling that they even came up with the term "Bronsexual" to keep the hate flowing.
I neither love nor hate "King" James, but I do respect rhe hell out if him as a man and as an athlete. He stays in shape. He works out in the summers to continue improving. His home life is stable with no glaring "hidden secrets" to destroy his brand. Lebron James is the real deal.
For the record, last season Lebron James passed Karl Malone and moved into second place on the All-time scoring list. What no one seems to want to mention is that he also passed Karl Malone in turnovers, and missed shots. Naive basketball fans will say so what, but the 'ballers' (former & present) know what is up.
Meaning this, when Lebron James passed Karl Malone's turnover total, he then became the NBA All-time leader. In addition, every time that Lebron turns the ball over it just adds to this crummy 'record'. Lebron James averages 3.5 turnovers per game for his career, so he may be setting a truly unbreakable record!!!
Also, when Lebron James passed Karl Malone on the missed shots list, he moved into 4th place. Lebron is now less than 1000 missed shots away from passing Kobe Bryant for the All-time lead. If Lebron James scores over 2000 points again this season, then he will pass Kobe. Think about it, Lebron is a career 50% shooter, and he misses 1000 shots every time he scores 2000 points. Ironically, he will still be shy of Kareem's scoring mark. You can check and/or redo the math.
These facts make all of the presumptions that "Lebron James will be the G.O.A.T if he passes Kareem Abdul Jabbar in scoring" seem ridiculous. First of all, if you do not consider Kareem to be the greatest now, then how can ANYONE be the greatest if they pass him? Second, all real ball players (former & present) know that the player who misses the most, and turns the ball over the most, is not called the greatest, even if he scores the most points. We just called them "gunners".
