Getbiggers make that amount of money in 7 minutes.

Lakers haven’t been relevant in 8 years haha

I'm a Lakers fan my whole life. As much as I like the Lakers, that's how much I dislike LeBron.
LeBron James is fucking up my universe. He's still going to be flopping and making excuses like always, only now he'll be wearing a Lakers jersey.
I am sad.

Should make for an exciting Lakers camp next summer at our facility

Lebron is now the best laker of all time

Anyone that gives a fuck isn't worth a fuck.
The NBA is crap now and has been for decades. The NFL is going down the same shit path.

Second best and MAYBE 3rd best of all time. Still not in Jordan’s world

He'll never be in Jordan's world. I'd still take a prime Bird over Leflop.

he's better than jordan
jordan started to win when the pistons, celtics, and lakers started their decline and then he took advantage of a weak era, then got out right when the lakers rebuilt and the spurs became a powerhouse
timing was everything for him, timing has not been kind to the king having to deal with injuries to irving and love in 2015 and then the warriors building the super team of all super teams
steve kerr himself says players today are better and he played for those bulls

That's a lot of money to put a ball in a basket. Wonder if he knows how to do basic division or knows who the speaker of the house is? But yeah, people worship him anyway so, whatever. Good negotiating skills I guess.
doesn't matter
people would rather watch him play basketball than watch some guy that knows the speaker of the house, he's paid what he is worth
heck he should be paid more, the owner makes the most money and nobody pays to see them

Made sure the Cavs traded two franchise players away(Wiggins & Irving...) and are left with shattered glass for a body Kevin Love.

It won't be long before someone is better than LeBron.

When did LeBron start to win, with Duncan's decline? He had to build a superteam and then when that fell apart he had Cleveland gut their team and mortgage their future so he could beat a Warriors team that had an injured Curry?
Is this how we are going to argue this non sense? Jordan was great, as was West,Dr. J, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Durant and Lebron.
If you think LeBron is the goat fine but don't argue like a woman and try to diminish someone else's accomplishments.

No comments about his black privilege? If white Americans are supposed to feel ashamed for being born into a life of privilege, what about a black man born to be athletic and 6’9? How is that fair? He’s far luckier than any white dude I’ve ever met.
-
My Sacramento Kings are doomed out here in this division. ;D
-
basket is for
1. blacks
2. white people who loves blacks and if theyre married, they fantaszise about sharing their wife with blacks.
no exceptions to the above.

They won't even get past Houston, never mind Golden State.

bwa ha ha earl no way lebron is better than jordan, jordan was 6-0 in the finals, he took two years off probably would have went 8-0 and this is coming from someone that is from mi and hated jordan. lebron is a man child that jumps ship when the going gets tough, also lebron has been on roids his whole career , i doubt mj was injecting hgh during his years.
now lebron will spend the rest of his career playing with that clown lonzo "i suck big cock" ball and the other suck ass lakers. he will never ever even get to the finals out west.
-
Jordan never got swept in a finals. Let’s start there.
Jordan would never quit on his team either. Jordan also played defense, which Leflop doesn't do, as he's too busy "saving energy" to pad his offensive stats. Or how about Lebron's PED use, being his name was on a Biogenesis ledger? Jordan played in a much physically tougher era in basketball and was a much tougher player, especially mentally. The liberal sports media keep trying to pull Jordan down to prop Leflop up. By all the advanced metrics, Jordan is better, and that includes the Wizard's years. As Leflop gets older, that gap will only widen.

mr wonderfull you got a great point there, also lebron could not have handled the physical style of the 80's he would have been crying and pouting every game, lebron is the champion of liberal espn.
-
Scott are you okay?
That's a lot of hate for something you don't care about. Are there things in life you do like?
I used to enjoy basketball but to be honest that was decades ago, LOL! I think Lebron is a piece of shit. Jordan is just a better piece of shit. For me, Wilt Chamberlain is the best ever and the statistics pretty much back up that sentiment.
As for things in life I do like? Music and film with the former dominating the two forms of entertainment and my tastes run to the traditional if you will. It's not so much the sports themselves that I hate but rather the participants that play them. The ghettoization of athletics disgusts me and by that I don't mean the skin color of players but instead their fucking ghetto attitudes.
And yes, I think very highly of President Trump. ;D

Really he's a pretty savvy business man. Go look at his investments and how they have paid off. (ie Liverpool Soccer team, I think 2% bought at $6mm now $32mm)

Let's not forget Jordan had to deal with the best centers of our genereation. Lebron deals with guards and power forwards that are lazy and want to just shoot 3's. MJ driving to the basket on Ewing/Hakeem etc... Lebron with who, Clint Capella and Dramond Green.

Exactly, Jordan would go to the hole and dunk over anyone, during an era where huge centers were more prevalent. Jordan also evolved his game as he got older, which Lebron refuses to do. As a consequence, Lebron only plays one end of the court, choosing to rest on defense.

I doubt any of those investments are his. He pays some high-paid brokers and financial planners to invest for him in return for a large retainer & commission. You could say he's a good selector of people who do the work for him, since he hasn't a clue about finance or investing.
Umm I do the same and I have an MBA. Most smart people do that who make good money.

Damn lot of people think he’s dumb on getbig.com. Why do you guys all think that? He’ll be the highest grossing NBA player ever in a year. (Salary). Also has a billion + $ contract with Nike. Amongst 50 other deals. I’m not a fan at all to be clear.

If you criticize the bumbling, barely-coherent son of the owner of a family-owned business, does that mean your life's a failure? Or are you just making a subjective observation based on what you're seeing? I think you're being a little extreme with that blanket statement, friend.

So what. At least he's not gambling away millions on the golf course and beyond, his father isn't being murdered because of his gambling debts and he doesn't or hasn't been caught cheating on his wife. I think Lebron is clearly number 2 of all time on the court. Off the court, Jordan can't carry his jock.
-
We know people who watch sports are generally idiots, but if the President pulls down $400K, there's no way this guy is worth more than half that. He doesn't fulfill any essential goals or obligations; he just entertains, and not very well at that (depending on who you ask).
and we know people that don't watch sports were picked last in gym class
though you do have a point, most idiots care far more about the person that entertains them than the person that fulfills important goals or obligations for this country
the ratings and his net worth say he entertains well enough

Jordan never got swept in a finals. Let’s start there.
jordan never played a great team in the finals
jordan always had scottie pippen and the best coach of all time phil jackson in the finals, plus hall of famer rodman for 3 of the titles
lebron's best teammate this year was kevin love and he's nothing special, the warriors would've swept any team jordan beat
oh and the king scored 50 in game 1 which i think was 3rd best all time in the finals and they still lost, gee maybe his team stinks ::)

Ok "earl1972" let me know when he wears the jersey.

If you think LeBron is the goat fine but don't argue like a woman and try to diminish someone else's accomplishments.
so jordan will be 3rd best all time when somebody tops lebron
lebron started to win when he actually had decent teammates, why is that hard for you jordan fan boys to accept? nobody does it by themselves, though the king came quite close in 2015 and 2018, jordan tried with the wizards and couldn't even make the playoffs LOL
i don't diminish accomplishments i just state facts, who do you think would be tougher to stop the warriors and their 4 all stars plus a finals mvp in igoudala or greg ostertag and bryan russel?
that's what you guys do when talking about the king and i agree it is very womanlike

uh he quit twice ::)
once to play baseball, and the other time because he hated the bulls owner, then he got fired by washington ;D
his era was "physically tougher" because they lacked skill, "tough guys" like charles oakley could never play in today's league, you gotta be able to actually shoot the ball today
the media loves jordan and does all that they can to discredit the king and keep the jordan mystique alive

Horrible compared to the warriors maybe, but then everyone is horrible compared to the warriors.His team this year was the highest paid in the league, full of speciialists in every area, and walked through the east practically blindfolded.Lebron hand picked them all.Its on him.Also he started this superfriends colluding, now he is paying the price for it.
-
lol, i'm surprised that lebron knows how 2 tie his own shoes... dude is an imbecile.
Lebron James is a potato brained retard. If he was 5'8" instead of 6'8" he would be robbing gas stations for drug money.
Going to the Lakers isn't going to win him anymore rings. The Warriors just signed Cousins and now essentially have all-star talent 1 through 5.
Lebronze might as well retire.

so jordan will be 3rd best all time when somebody tops lebron

Could you imagine a scenario where Jordan lost to a team in a best of 7 where Andre Igoudala was named series MVP?
You're cute Earl. It's sad you can't have a grown up conversation and instead you talk about a 40 year old Jordan who was out of the game for 4 years and compare that to LeBron at his peak.
LeBron, with a prime Wade (the best 2 guard of that time and many say 3rd best 2guard of all time) and prime Boshbeat lost to a Dirk Nowitzki led team with legends like JJ Barrera and Jason Terry and a 40 year old Jason Kidd....
The next year he beats a young non tested Oklahoma City team (that had 3 future MVPs). That's impressive.
Then it takes 7 SEVEN games to beat an old Spurs team, a win that happens because HOF Ray Allen hits a crazy corner 3 (do you think Steve Kerr and John Paxson are better than Ray Allen, at any point in their respective careers? Don't forget Kerr played with those Spurs).
The next year the even older spurs beat the Heat, with an in his PRIME LeBron, in 5 games.....
Karl Malone, John Stockton, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Magic Johson, James Worthy all garbage.
But Jordan beat the team's he was supposed to beat.
LeBron may be a better overall talent but he isn't the competitor, nor the champion, Jordan is.
-
Before he's even played a game?
Has Levrones's soiled thong you've been sniffing started to ferment?
;D ;D
LMAO..
-
Let's see: Lebron had two players average over 26 in a finals along with him (Irving-28pts and Wade). Jordan never had anything near that.
Jordan has 3 more rings
Jordan has more final mvps
More defensive player of the years
More MVP's
9 more scoring titles
3 more steals leader
3 more all defensive teams
Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs
Jordan never averaged less then 40% field goals in the finals. Lebron has twice
Lebron had much more help
Jordan had more points in the playoffs in less games
That's in 13 seasons
Jordan averaged 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg along with average of 55% shooting, 3 spg, 2 bpg in 6 different series
Could go on.
-
LeBron lost to a team in the Finals whose second-best player was Jason Terry.
Also owes one of "his" championships 100% to a Ray Allen miracle three-pointer.
Love how lovers of LeBron's BBC act like Jordan's Bulls were stacked with superstars. The third-best offensive player he played with was probably Toni Kukoc.
-
Love also how lovers of LeBron's BBC always blame his teammates when he loses in the Finals as has happened nearly every time he's reached it, but the one constant on all those losing efforts is...LeBron. A full two thirds of his Finals wins are tainted (Ray Allen bailout in 2013 noted above, plus Draymond suspension in 2016, both seven-game series wins). Jordan 6-0 with six convincing wins, never even went to a game 7, case is closed my friends.
-
White people shouldn't be paying to watch anything that has more than 2 black guys in it , unless they are trying to kill each other, particularly when the majority of these same blacks hate white people or "white culture" and go out if their way to put it down any chance they get.

That's a lot of money to put a ball in a basket. Wonder if he knows how to do basic division or knows who the speaker of the house is? But yeah, people worship him anyway so, whatever. Good negotiating skills I guess.

Dear Los Angeles: LeBron James is an avid cyclist. Please don't run him over
(http://www.latimes.com/resizer/mT7nbhRin1q_fyGun6O9Gi5CQIQ=/1400x0/www.trbimg.com/img-5b39aa00/turbine/la-lb-media-58154512-20180701-212841/900)
LeBron James is coming to Los Angeles. For the next three years at least, the greatest basketball player in the world will be playing for the Lakers.
But while we’re all still celebrating the purple and gold’s impending return to basketball relevance, here’s a fun fact I’d like to remind my fellow Angelenos: Our new basketball savior doesn’t like to drive.
Not only does he not like to drive, LeBron James is a cyclist. It’s his preferred method of transit. He’s been known to ride his bike to and from games. He holds annual “bike-a-thon” charity events in home state of Ohio. He bought a stake in the bike company Cannondale. He’s even got the spandex.

Jordan never quit during a game or series. He also didn't wrap a scarf around his hand to pretend it was broken.
he quit the whole game twice and probably a 3rd time too because his wizard stint was an absolute failure, how many times do i have to say that? ::)
-
Jordan played one of his best games with a 102 fever
if he had a legit 102 fever he would've been sick in bed, jesus christ the jordan worship is out of control it's like he never missed a shot in his career ::)

lebron picked them all and made the finals, jordan picked them all for the wizards and couldn't make the playoffs, kwame brown with the number 1 overall pick LOL
wrong the lakers in 2004 started the super teams, and then the celtics in 2008
E
-
And I don't think his tenure at the Wizards represents him at his best and strongest. While no one doubts Lebron - one of the few players at the time (2001) recruited out of high school rather than college - is truly talented at his sport, he isn't an icon or an American sports legend in the eyes of most people. Outside of basketball, few know who he is. Everyone knows Jordan over 20 years after he hung up his shorts. So while this has nothing to do with athletic ability, Jordan will always tower over Lebron just in terms of his stature within the industry and the American general population. I also feel in the 1980s he was indestructible, like Tyson. Lebron has been stopped many times on the court.
he's less of a legend because the fanboys of jordan go out of their way to discredit everything he does, jordan had the best marketing campaign ever and he wisely stuck to basketball and only basketball because "republicans buy shoes too", lebron actually voices his opinion outside of basketball
jordan has zero titles in the 80's so he was stopped EVERY time in the 80's
was he at his best with the wizards? probably not but to not even make the playoffs is a huge black mark against him that the fan boys conveniently ignore
he never would've came back if he knew that would be the result but like i said lucky for him people pretend he never missed a shot in his career so all is forgiven and forgotten

1.lebron picked them all and made the finals, 2. jordan picked them all for the wizards and couldn't make the playoffs,3. kwame brown with the number 1 overall pick LOL

1. True
2. True
3. True, but that draft wasn't loaded with stars passing on Pau is a mistake in hindsight but at the time so was drafting him 3rd. That said Jordan is a horrible executive.
4. True
5. Those guys were traded they didn't sign as free agents, LeBron, Wade and Bosh were the perfect storm of free agents in their Prime and they forever changed the league.
Good points Earl.

no i can't imagine jordan losing to a team with igoudola as mvp because if jordan had those jobbers as his teammates he wouldn't have made the finals
no excuse for jordan to miss the playoffs no matter what his age was, he clearly was good enough because if he wasn't he wouldn't have bothered to return, you guys give him more credit for missing the playoffs than you'll give lebron for losing to an all star team in the finals, now is that "cute" or what?
as for dirk he played out of his mind and i'll agree lebron disappointed that year
ray allen? he hit one shot and that's what you haters remember, you forget lebron was clearly the best player and unanimous mvp, was it kerr or paxson that hit the game winner to close out the jazz in 97? the spurs were a great team, 5 titles prove it no shame in losing to them and better to lose to them in the finals then jordan losing to a less talented pistons team in the 80's in the conference finals
what teams other than the mavericks was lebron "supposed" to beat? he did not have wade at his best and bosh shouldn't be a future hall of famer but if he is it's solely because he rode lebron's coattails
E

The third-best offensive player he played with was probably Toni Kukoc.
which is just more proof his team would've been slaughtered by the warriors, timing was everything for jordan
not having internet and social media helped a ton too, it protected his image

The best player wins. No shame in losing to the Spurs but they were on the decline LeBron and company were at the peak of their powers. They were so deep Ray Allen played the same role of Steve Kerr and Paxson. Lol at less talented pistons team. The Lakers and Celtics of that era were garbage too right?
what teams other than the mavericks was lebron "supposed" to beat? he did not have wade at his best and bosh shouldn't be a future hall of famer but if he is it's solely because he rode lebron's coattails Not true. Wade was still in his PRIME and an all NBA talent as was Bosh. Bosh, much like Love, was a star who changed his game (and they should have) to fit in. Those team's should not have had so much trouble with the spurs and should not have lost the second series. Losing to the warriors is understandable

he quit the whole game twice and probably a 3rd time too because his wizard stint was an absolute failure, how many times do i have to say that? ::)
You sure are simple.

dave d explain how the east was "strong" back in the early 2000's when jordan made his comeback, shouldn't the best and most competitive player ever at least make the playoffs in that shit conference?
you want to compare jordan to Mr. Levrone, that's silly one guy accomplished everything while the other guy had unfinished business and possibly needed the money and missed the spotlight, jordan's legend and wealth grew in retirement, you can't say that about a bodybuilder that didn't quite win it all
you blame lebron for losing to the spurs? he led the series in points with 28 and led his team in steals, assists and blocks, wade averaged 15 a game while bosh had 14 and allen had 9 but yeah lets all blame the king because it's so cool to hate him and god forbid he surpass your precious jordan
the fact that you hold him to such unrealistic standards is proof you think he's the best, you just can't admit it to yourself

I love how he compares Jordan at age 39 and 40 to Heat-era LeBron.

i didn't do that i said he should've at least made the playoffs, i didn't say he should've made the finals like lebron does no matter who his teammates are
he was not too old, if he was he never would've came back as he had nothing to prove
he failed and couldn't do shit without good teammates, just admit it and stop sucking his dick

Jordan is, was, and always will be far more likable than LeBron. Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who likes him whatsoever, even as they respect his obvious gift for the sport. Does that matter to this thread? No, probably not. But part of being liked is that more investment and sponsorship opportunities come your way even after you step down from your sport. Just look at Shaq and all his icy hot patch, general insurance, and countless other ads. How many does Kobe or Pippen have? Sure, LeBron is wealthy and always will be. But interest in him will fade as he moves on from the sport. Jordan is as popular as he ever was...you're leaving out that he loved his fans and went out of his way to connect with them, even if he didn't sweep the 80s titles like you said. Moreover, his skill on the court is one thing, his titles another.
he's more likable because he keeps his mouth shut, lebron has an opinion on everything, when you talk somebody is going to hate what you have to say
him being more likable is why people won't ever give lebron the credit he deserves, they can't let go of their personal bias and there's always nostalgia for the past as many people believe the 90's was the pinnacle for everything
shaq is a funny guy and only talks basketball
kobe is antisocial, has a rape charge on his record, and none of his teammates liked him, pippen was viewed as nothing more than jordan's robin
how did jordan go out of way to connect with fans?

Lebron is a traveling gypsy. Show me another so-called ATG who jumped from team - team like him I get it this is a different generation. He also likes to bail on his teams in the 6th and 7th games. Isn't he like 3-9 or something like that in finals. Great leader, you have there!

Lebron is a ring chasing mercenary.

Was Jordan still the best player in the NBA at 39 & 40? Or 2nd best, or 3rd?
Maybe he was just the best player in the East? Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd were probably better than Jordan at this time. Players that were more his equal were Antonie Walker, Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn, Reggie Miller and Stephon Marbury.
So where do you think 39 year old Jordan ranks against those players at that time?
Do you think 39 year old Jordan is better than 39 year old Kobe, or same age Ray Allen, or same age Vince Carter, or same age Allen Iverson, etc.... we know that old Jordan was substantially better than any of the above players at the same ages.
Did the 4 year layoff help Jordan? He came back fat and a completely different player. Maybe he thought to highly of his Bulls legacy and he shouldn't have retired after the last championship. Who knows how that would have played out.
You think LeBron is better than Jordan and that's fine. I think he is more physically talented, but what's interesting is that Jordan at his peak was so good that he made hall of fame players look average in comparison (and you confirm this by saying he beat no one) yet peak LeBron, for all his gifts, has run into unbeatable dynasties.
Who's making excuses?
So it's not Lebrons fault his team lost to the Spurs? Was he not the best player in the NBA? Maybe Duncan was, or maybe Tony Parker was or maybe it was Manu.....
Earl I get it that you're trolling and you've never been wrong on Getbig but you come across as very foolish because you won't be objective.

shaq played for a lot of teams, fact is most guys aren't drafted to a team that can build enough talent around them
ever notice how cleveland completely sucks without lebron? i think it's safe to say they have no clue how to build a team and in the nba all the best players want to play in the big glamorous cities and cleveland is not one of those cities
why is it in the real world everybody else is applauded when they move on to a better job opportunity in another city, but when an athlete does it he gets criticism?

all i said was he should've made the playoffs, i'm not saying he should've made a deep run
the supposed GOAT should be able to make the playoffs even with a bad team and if he is the GOAT being at 70 - 80% of his best should've gotten them to the playoffs
do you think the jazz or sonics would beat the warriors or spurs? i would argue both durant/curry are better than either malone/stockton, definitely better than payton and kemp
then you throw in guys like clay and draymond who are far superior than the 3rd or 4th best players those teams had it's not even close the warriors would win in 5 at most, and i'll say it again if you think lebron should beat those teams with his band of jobbers to me that is you subconsciously thinking he is the true GOAT

I can't stand Lebron but that's some disrespectful shit right there. I do not condone that.
All that said, fuck Lebronze.
