    Remember when he was younger and said he wanted to be the first billionaire athlete? He’s consistently said and shown that he’s all about the money.

    Huh? First of all he is already a billionaire. Secondly he already took a pay cut on the Heat. Third, Woods and MJ already had a ridiculous head start on him before and became billionaires before him.

    Funny when KD took a pay cut to sign with the Warriors I didn't see you give any props.

    So it's wrong to say you wanted to be a billionaire? What exactly is your point? You're the one who needs to try harder.

    The list proves everything in my post he is already a billionaire now and MJ and Woods became billionaires before him.

    woosh!

    completely missed the point.

    LeBron, in 2014 said he wanted to be a billionaire.

    Then he showed us over and over that money is the priority.

    Nothing is wrong with wanting to make money. It's his first priority, not winning. If winning were a priority, he would sign for the league minimum so the Lakers could take that huge salary and spread it to other impactful players.

    If they are going to win going forward someone else needs to be the best player. The issue is Lebron is paid like the best player even though he can't be that guy anymore pushing 40.

    May be what ultimately sets them apart in the GOAT conversation.

    Pfft. He never entered the conversation for me in the first place. I mean, to me it's insulting.

    I saw an unstoppable force and immovable object in Shaq. I've seen Kobe try and replicate MJ with a twist. It was amazing. Saw Curry do things never done before that are now starting to become commonplace. I've seen Lebron stay consistently great longer than anyone outside of Kareem, and maybe Malone and Stockton. I'm about to see a 7'5 KD with KG defense.

    Believe me, when i see with my own eyes a player that completely overtakes Jordan's GOAT claim, i'm here for it because that will be the most amazing thing i'll ever get to see in sports for the rest of my life.

    And as far as bigs go, If i ever see a 2 way dominant and skilled player like Hakeem lead a team of no all stars on the first and a declined one his 2nd to b2b, and without tons of HOF help, then they'll overtake DR34M as the greatest C of all time, but something tells me even Wemby will need tons of HOF help, but Pop will probably put him at SF to avoid coming up short on Duncans career like he put Duncan at PF to avoid being comped to Hakeem's greatness.
    Oh what greatness that would have been. Hakeem wrecked prime MVP Admiral and Rodman, imagine what he'd do to Duncan and Nesterovich or whatever other bum Big they wanted to use.

    Handsome YouTube doctor says it's impossible to play with any torn foot tendon. LeBron is just old.

    LeXcuses. How could you expect anything less from the guy who played in the finals with a broken hand! *awkwardly waves it around in the camera shots so everyone sees it* LeDrama Queen and his excuses no one buys.
