In The Arena

One thing I’ve learned about the goat debate: You will never convince a LeBron stan that Kobe or MJ is the GOAT. You won’t convince a Jordan stan that Kobe or LeBron is the GOAT. You won’t convince a Kobe stan that LeBron or MJ is the GOAT. At some point, the debate stops being about basketball and starts being about who made you fall in love with the game. Respect greatness. #NBA #NBATwitter #GOATDebate

@TKlein710 @Jacobtheclipper Bro that’s also accurate. I’m a lebron fan and he is one of my fav players, but I’m also objective. I sometimes find myself against his “Stans” because some of the stuff they say is outlandish. Two things can be true at the same time

@_InTheArena_ @Jacobtheclipper Not nuts whatsoever at all. Lebron brings on people despising him deservedly so because of his personality, cockiness, quotes & public persona... it's way more nuts how many weirdos glaze him unconditionally, imo

I get second hand embarrassment from Bron 🤦🏻‍♂️ At 41 years old posting crap like this on social media? Bro you 250 lbs flexing lifting 15 lbs on an exercise ball. Of course only his basement dwelling fan boys impressed by this 😂😂

@NFL_Talk_Sports The talent is undeniable, But he is “social media-ing” himself right out of the NFL, UNFORTUNATELY!!!

Update: Multiple teams believe 49ers’ WR Brandon Aiyuk is a phenomenal player and understand that he could make them better if they had a chance to sign him — but feel like he has to get himself right mentally off the field before he can make a difference on the field again — regardless of where he is playing, per league source.

This is super false. He went to Rob last year, and the year before and said he was willing to take a cut if he was able to fill out the roster. Rob wanted to keep cap space open for this year and not sign anyone long term. Also, if he would have played for the minimum last year, his cap hold would have still been 25 mil

To every Laker fan who embraced Lebron Just know he was willing to take a paycut to leave but wasn't willing to take one in a Laker uniform to Win he had 8 opportunities.. I saw thru him a long time ago I never embraced him because I know a sucker when I see one ..

@retrayal46529 @Jacobtheclipper But why does anything he do affect anyone else to the point where it bothers you that much id my question

@_InTheArena_ @Jacobtheclipper Well, it’s easy to be hated when you’re cringe af

@sandromuse As an ancillary piece. We have to figure out our starting 3/4 first. I think Grimes and Mamu are better coming off the bench. If we can get Kuminga or swing for the fences and lock up Watson, then yes get Deebo!

Lakers fans do you want DeMar?

@3kConner Man I’m ready for it

@_InTheArena_ Playoffs 👀

Look at that defense WOOOOO 😈🔥🔥

I honestly Rui didn’t fit well with the way the roster is constructed. He isn’t a good rebounder or defender at all. He is a great shooter no doubt, but we need defensive minded wings who can get their own shot off of the bounce. If we had that in place already then yes, but since we don’t, I think it was a good idea to get either Kuminga or try to swing for fences with Watson

Lakers biggest regret this season will be giving up Rui.

@LegionHoops @JWeinbachNBA This was a given!! He is the best Buck ever!!

JUST IN: The Milwaukee Bucks will be retiring No. 34 in honor of Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JWeinbachNBA Legend.

@LAKERSRISE @Parodyjeffx 🤜🏾🤛🏾

@_InTheArena_ @Parodyjeffx 🤣🤣🤣🤣 see.. we click

Why do they all look so fucking creepy?

It’s so hard to have a sports conversation with people who have no objectivity. People will literally say/post something by someone because it fits there narrative and because of that, they believe it’s 100% accurate, even if it’s holes in it.

@realbucketscout Man Big Al was sooooo underrated

Who was the best Traditional Big? Pick one 👀

@WhozMEECH I literally said the same thing My goat is Lebron Bean Jordan

Jordan is the greatest of all time. Kobe is the most skilled. LeBron is the most versatile player and the record books prove it. These are my Big 3 in order of best/greatest of all time. All 3 have won on the biggest stages and performed on the biggest stages. Whether or not you respect the route they took is a conversation but regardless, the talent and impact in regards to overall stats and winning prove these names are respected enough to be here. In my opinion. Players who have played against them overwhelmingly have these 3 players in the Top 3 realm. And that matters. Respected by their peers, teammates and opponents. These are my top 3 of all time. I understand if you disagree, but It is well with my soul 🫡

@LAKERSRISE @Parodyjeffx lol I literally said the same thing

@Parodyjeffx 47? Ain't no way

@Jacobtheclipper Why does someone’s else’s happiness affect someone else so negatively? This is almost a self esteem concern

@realbucketscout @GraceRepublik Heat or Cavs

@GraceRepublik Heat

What Team 🏀 will LeBron James play for next season ? Fans are curious to know 🔥🔥 #nba

@realbucketscout Very well said bro!!

People talk rings, but LeBron James literally changes the direction of every franchise he touches. That impact alone is bigger than titles.

This is crazy, LeBron has one of the best IQ’s in NBA history. For you to say he isn’t a basketball player is absolutely insane. Does he have a skill as a Kobe or Michael as far as footwork and such, no but he is a damn good BASKETBALL PLAYER. Also isn’t that even more impressive that he is the number 1 scorer without a “bag”

Yes, LeBron, we know you’re strong, but what about your mid-range game that hasn’t been touched in 20 years? Footwork drills? Post game? LeBron can never be the GOAT because he’s just an athlete, not a basketball player.
