Never compare Donte to the GOAT of all basketball in this life time.. Donte never come close comparing each other...Look at this silky smooth jumper from Michael Jordan...the winning basket in the 1982 NCAA title game, Some people were saying he was the "Donte DiVincenzo of North Carolina." Now, that is a stretch...
King James is nowhere near the GOAT... He not even better than Kobe.. Please... King James ran like a liitle baby to Miami because he couldn't get past Boston... He should of took them ass whoopings like a man and figure it out.. Jordan couldn't get past Pistons, Boston... He stayed at Bulls and figured it and went 6-0 in finals.. King James will never win a title again..Righteous indignation!?! That is humor. Jay Wright called him "the Michael Jordan of Delaware" as a joke making fun of Delaware HS basketball. My closing comment in the post was "that is a stretch" That is humor by understatement.
GOAT. OK. In my opinion, LeBon James is the GOAT. Oscar Robertson is #2. Bill Russell is the greatest winner in the history of team sports.
I think Michael Jordan is the most important player in the history of the NBA. He was the best player in his era. He led his team to 6 NBA titles. He came along at the advent of ESPN and the 24 hour sports news cycle. He was the main impetus for the athletic shoe boom. He became a cultural icon. He became the face of basketball. His endorsements made him millions. He raised the popularity of the game enough that other players made lots of money in endorsements. The current NBA players owe him an eternal debt of gratitude.
I realize that most people agree with you about Jordan being the GOAT.
Donte had one of the best games in the history of the Final Four. I am thrilled for him and DE HS basketball.
There is and will continue to be all kinds of hyperbole. I compared him previously to Rex Chapman as an NBA player. Maybe he is trending to being a better NBA player than Chapman....
I am willing to let father time and thoughtful reflection determine who is the GOAT.
Jordan had the luxury of playing in the nation's 2nd biggest market. LeBron started off in his hometown in the era of more player mobility. The free agency right was earned for NBA players thanks to the efforts of the 2nd all time greatest player of all time Oscar Robertson.
It is shameful that you would make an ad hominem attack on a talented man utilizing the free market system.
I suggest that you read one of Thomas Sowell's books like - Knowledge and Decisions or his Basic Economics.
I respect the talent of Michael Jordan. He did walk away from his dedicated fans to play minor league baseball for a couple of years. Was that a foreshadowing of Tim Tebow? (that's humor, again) Then again, I remember Jordan limping along for a paycheck with the Wizards as he wound down his career. Was he abandoning His teammates in Chicago? No, he was a free man using free markets....just like Le Bron.
LeBron has a couple rings left in him. His greatest will eclipse them all. He is truly like a Byzantine King suspended between heaven and earth. (That's humor, too...)
Jordan has him by a mile... Jordan never lost in the Olympics. . King James was stacked in the Olympics with him Wade, Melo, Durant, and Tim Duncan... King James and that crew couldnt even win the Gold medal. Bummy is real funny... LolTrying to compare the players from different eras is impossible. I do think the NBA stinks now. Have a hard time watching even the playoffs. Bunch of complainers. Travel all the time too. Most games are nothing more than shooting exhibitions. No D at all. The competition for a rebound on a missed foul shot tells you all you need to know.

Lol.. I was little off... King James about to run again. . lol.. Run forest run forest... Real crazy how they consider him one of the best of all time.. When everytime he start loosing.. He run like a liittle baby.. Hate when they compare him to Jordan. .. No heart at all..Nice emotion. Minor factual issues. Durant was probably a 15 year old kid starting at National Christian Academy in 2004 so don't associate him with that train wreck of a Larry Brown coached team.
Lebron James was a 19 year old kid who was so green at the time he probably shouldn't have been on that squad. Thank God for the Colangelos coming in and cleaning up USA basketball. Coach K took over for 3 Olympics and Pop takes over in 2020.
.....thanks for the nightmare reminder of that 2004 Olympic team, hoops. Sent Bummy combing his memories and checking wiki...that 2004 team was such a train wreck they didn't even win a silver medal! They got the Bronze. Ouch! One of the issues with that team was that Iverson and Brown argued the whole time...what a train wreck...
Lol.. Stop it Bummy.. Refs doing everthing in there power to help King James... Clearly he blocked it off backboard. .. Playing 40 plus minutes... To save the ass whooping he going get in finals.. King James should go out in the second round or East finals.. Spurs swept him in the finals, Warriors beat him 4-1, Bummy you know whats next his ass going get swept 4-0.. Dont get me wrong Lebron is a great player but to compare up there with Jordan.. People should be banned from talking about Basketball... LolLeBron.
I see you still trying Bummy..lol
Na King James make it to finals... None of them young teams ready. .. But he will get swept in finals...Yeah, Ches, I agree....I think the winner of the Boston and Dilly Dilly matchup will represent the East game n the finals
...got it, 84. What I really meant was that ....and I hope I am wrong...is that I expected the Celtics to beat the Sixers. The Boston-Philly NBA basketball rivalry is a long and tortuous one for Philly fans....going back to when the Warriors were in Phila.I was kind of expecting bummy to be chirping about Lebron putting up (was it 45?) today. Maybe Bummy realizes that the season for LBJ will probably be over soon. By the way, as a Sixer fan, I don't have warm fuzzies about the Sixers and the Celtics..
Every team in the East is basically playing for 2nd place overall...LoLNa King James make it to finals... None of them young teams ready. .. But he will get swept in finals...
@Uncle Bumfuzzled, are you really Colangelo, I’ve got a sneaky suspicion???
