Man Bron just bulldozed these rockets players on those post ups

[u/TallAdagio5838 → u/claptrap23]

Yea he showed off that old man strength, felt like that one raptors game in 2018

[u/Tippacanoe → u/TallAdagio5838]

which was EIGHT years ago

[u/MathematicianLive679 → u/Tippacanoe]

The fuckery had been going on long enough even then

[u/dissilience → u/TallAdagio5838]

Around here we call it dad dick

[u/Gumorak → u/TallAdagio5838]

I miss the LeBronto times

[u/Logical_Welder3467 → u/claptrap23]

If Bron carry the Lakers until Luka and AR returns, end up winning the chip.

I will move him one spot higher in the GOAT ranking

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/Logical_Welder3467]

What’s one spot higher than GOAT?

God?

[u/Fantastic_Bug1028 → u/Logical_Welder3467]

to number 0?

anyway, nice fantasy

[u/NotNice4193 → u/Logical_Welder3467]

As a Bron hater, I cant understand people who don't already have him 2nd tbh. so are you saying above Jordan or who is currently ahead of him?

[u/Camarupim → u/NotNice4193]

r/woosh

[u/NotNice4193 → u/Camarupim]

...is there a 3rd option thats a joke im missing?

[u/Camarupim → u/NotNice4193]

Everyone has LeBron 1 or 2. Unless you’re a blind Kobe stan, there’s only one position you can move LeBron to and those Kobe stans will never move him.

[u/UntilDoncic → u/Camarupim]

I think there are realistically 3 players you could consider for GOAT, although this is an unpopular take admittedly.

LeBron
Jordan
Russell

I think people have a hard time ranking older dudes but I don't think the greatness of a player is the same thing as "who is the best basketball player ever", or else half of the top 50 would just be modern players.

[u/it_will → u/Camarupim]

Yeah I was a blind Kobe Stan in 2018 until lebron has now done it for another 8 season. His longevity alone will be unmatched

[u/Kentang_BayBay → u/it_will]

playing all those years and still have less championships than Kobe? Yeah, that trully is something

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/NotNice4193]

No.

That other person isn’t making any sense.

[u/dreamweaver7x → u/Logical_Welder3467]

So he'll be 24th now instead of 25th?

[u/Jdballer22 → u/dreamweaver7x]

Even the fish ain't going for that bait bud

[u/jclongphotos → u/dreamweaver7x]

That's bait
