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

@VinoUncorked Man come on, stats only tell a part of the story. Anyone with a set of eyes know Kyrie is a better and talented player. I’m a Laker fan and I love AR’s underdog story just like anyone else, but some stuff we have to relax on!

Pretty close if you ask me

I’m a Jordan fan, my fav 3 are MJ, Bron and Kobe, But this disingenuous, Jordan retired in ‘93 because of some legal allegations about gambling that was about to come down on the league, and Stern asked him to step away for a while so things can cool down, which ultimately led to other things (I will let you do your own homework on the fallout). Not saying there weren’t other factors, but this was the main driver to the ‘93 retirement

LeBron Knows 🗣️🫵🚫🏀 #JustSayUHateBasketball #LeBron #Jordan #basketball #GOAT

@Barkley_Tap I always hold Magic in high regards because when the NBA was struggling and was about to fold, Magic and Bird saved the league with their rivalry and how the league pushed the “black/white” narrative. Then Jordan came and made it a global entity

Magic's legacy is on the line and these NBA icons are making their case. Who is not worthy to seat?

@SportsStatsFan @Hoopss That’s fine bro. I don’t get into the debate. The best players I’ve ever seen play are MJ, Bron and Kobe. I leave it at that

@_InTheArena_ @Hoopss I know. There is no legit case for Bron so they already had to resort to extremely dishonest tactics like OP MJ better statistically, far more clutch and won more titles FMVPs MVPs

What do y'all think about this post? 🤔

@FastbreakHoops5 4

Which one of these was Kobe 🤔

@S_U_Network Robert Horry. Lakers/Spurs/Rockets

Name a NBA player that won a championship with two different teams and did not start for either team.

@nflrums I think San Fran makes a resurgence this year. I’m a huge fan of Shanahan, and I think getting Warner, Kittle, Bosa back is going to be huge. Also the signing of Evans is going to pay dividends for sure

🚨 Who will win the NFC West ??

@BearzPlzWin What about 4K passing yards 👀👀

BREAKING: It has come to my attention that Caleb Williams ALREADY has more 3,500 passing yard seasons than Jordan Love

@tsjules007 @ghafardade Super facts

@ghafardade Lmao facts

I feel bad for whoever has to fight David Benavidez next lol.

@FastbreakHoops5 One of the best crossovers I ever seen live. I think this was in the ACC tournament

Nah, this was flat-out disrespectful 😭

@SportsStatsFan @Hoopss Bro that’s fine, all I’m saying you aren’t going to change anyone’s mind who feel likes it’s Kobe, Kareem, Jordan, Bron, etc. Just have to come to that realization is all I’m saying

@_InTheArena_ @Hoopss There is no legit case for Bron. Op literally used logic that indicates MJ better than Bron

@realbucketscout @anthonyedwards Nah this is 100% facts. The only thing I believe he can improve drastically is his 3p FG percentage. Other than that, he is pretty much maxed out on VC lol

Nobody wants to say it, but @anthonyedwards is closer to his ceiling than fans think.

@SportsStatsFan Also the fingertip dribble is insanely difficult. My college coach use to have us doing those drills

Isiah Thomas dribbled the ball at lightning speed just an inch off the floor….and a Low IQ Gen Z casual claims it was nothing special 😂😂

@LAKERSRISE lol give it a rest sis lol. Let Bron live lol

Let the media keep saying "LeBron wanted to leave,"

@SGVNSports That’s actually pretty solid because you have someone who can slide into the 4 spot with Kuminga and DeRozan would be a monster coming off of the bench with that 2nd unit

If the Lakers close with Kuminga and DeRozan I won’t be mad at it.

@TKlein710 @Jacobtheclipper No doubt. Like I said I’m a Bron fan and in face he is one of the best 3 players I’ve ever seen play, but I’m also realistic and unbiased

@_InTheArena_ @Jacobtheclipper Fair concession by you, respect 🤝

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 😂😂

@Foulout_jaye @PlayersChoice_ I didn’t say he was, read the comment again. I said he was putting up better stat lines bro

@_InTheArena_ @PlayersChoice_ Boogie was not better Thn AD

Both in their Primes… Who are you taking as your starting Center? 🤔

@TruuGawd Bro this is actually a really good point. Might as well get some talent that fits Luka’s timeline for sure

Lakers did right. Bron wasn’t coming back. No need to bring the others back. Younger more athletic picked up more shooting. Still not done

Literally said the same thing earlier. It makes no sense to get Derozan without filling the one deficiency that we currently have and that’s a wing that can defend and create his own offense off of the bounce. Derozan would be great with the 2nd unit, but we have to fill the void of the 3/4 first because Grimes, nor Mamu are true staring caliber players

I think DeRozan might be a good fit if Lakers can’t make Kuminga happen. They just gotta lean into being unstoppable offensively
