Lebron via @uninterrupted

If I wasn't the GOAT in basketball, what other sport I would be the GOAT in? Lacrosse. And I'd be a beast out on the field... I got pretty good accuracy when it comes to things.

Lacrosse does have a very similar similar offense and defense as basketball. So I fully believe him.

Lacrosse is basically basketball, soccer, and football all in one.

It will never be as popular though. Shit is stupid expensive and it attracts unlikable people

[–] Lucky_Chaarmss@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Funny, he calls himself the goat.

[–] milkonyourmustache@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is so conceited and narcissistic, have some respect for athletes in completely different sports.

Bro trying too hard. That ship has sailed. MJ the true G

[–] nikop@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine unironically calling yourself GOAT. Shudder.

[–] richard_golbes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Inb4 r/nba furiously googles whichever obscure human being is the actual lacrosse GOAT in order to fake outrage on his behalf:

how dare they slander Dartmouth McHamptons! His double twist overhand revolutionized the game. He played the game the right way; hard work and no dazzle-dazzle. LeBubble couldn’t even hold his helmet let alone realize his clutch in late game situations!

Also:

LeCrosse

It's interesting that despite MJ obviously having a huge ego himself he's never actually openly called himself the GOAT while LeBron has several times

This is even despite the fact that I think MJ still has the 65/35ish or 70/30ish edge among general NBA fandom as well as NBA players and if LeBron retired tomorrow MJ would still be ranked 1 on the majority of released "top 10 players" lists 10-15 years from now

[–] Panda0nfire@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He was reading a question

[–] index24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s much more like 80/20 and that’s generous.

[–] Bendstowardjustice@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

70/30?? I say that I consider Jordan and LeBron 1a and 1b and people act like I said beer sucks. It’s like 95-5 at poker tables in Vegas.

[–] BobbyBacala9980@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Whats crazy.. MJ has probably like an 80/20 edge vs Lebron amongst Lebrons current and former teammates he won rings with... let that sink in..

[–] solo118@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did he just call himself the GOAT?

[–] Buttholes4Everyone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Probably truth in that. Jim Brown is in the lacross hall of fame. Lebron much bigger, strong, and faster than Jim Brown.

[–] totolandia@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cant be GOAT in Curry era.

[–] I2eflex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I've seen him swing a golf club. I don't think stick sports are his jam.

[–] NJ_Citizen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s not wrong. Imagine some 5’10 frat kid from UVA trying to stop LeBron running down the field

[–] Not-so-good-Dairy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He would also be a mean outside hitter in volleyball

[–] YPM1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LeCap strikes again

Olympic Handball

[–] NeptuneOW@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LeBron would be a top tier player in almost any sport

[–] bungajaji@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Goat in flopping and travels maybe

[–] Ishtastic08@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If I wasn't the GOAT in basketball

Who's gonna tell him?

[–] TheIRSEvader@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] CommunityGlittering2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So are we all ignoring that he is calling himself the GOAT that's for others to decide, and he's not.

[–] Statalyzer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Half the thread is people saying that; how is it being ignored?

[–] beesinmyvag@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Where's the subjunctive mood bot when you need it.

[–] EvenTurnip9738@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But he isn’t the GOAT in basketball?

[–] YEGGSnBACON@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Real shit, lacrosse is incredibly similar to basketball in a lot of concepts, especially on defense. I could see Lebron being a real problem at any position he played.. except goalie.

[–] dennis-w220@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This guy is so obsessed with calling himself GOAT. And real GOATs, like MJ, Messi, never called themselves that title.

Dude is corny.

[–] UsernameChange2021@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

GOATs don’t need to gloat. Cringe. MJ > Kobe > Lebron.

[–] SkipsPittsnogle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bless his heart, he thinks he’s the goat of basketball.

[–] Impossible_You_2219@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"If I wasn't", you're not. I guess your accuracy did factor in those 6 finals losses

[–] MindlessSafety7307@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He was literally a role model for tons of kids that grew up in that era

[–] devioustrevor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No. This motherfucker calls for a foul if somebody is close enough to be seen, in a sport where crosschecking and slashing is allowed, he would sit in the middle of the field crying like a 9-year old having a tantrum.

[–] WhatsACellPhone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Self proclaimed GOAT status is very cringe.

[–] warjatos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah you can't be lacrosse player with that hairline

[–] 2007_reddit_user@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lebron is one of the greatest.

[–] simonffplayer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

rule #1 of being the GOAT is you can't call yourself the goat. it's like fight club

spoiler: mj is the goat

[–] ale3for@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LeRugby would be crazy

Legreatshooter

kobe would never , mj would never . there's levels to this .

[–] negativelynegative@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You aren't a goat in basketball.

It's still cotton in a field LeBron and you're making chump change compared to the owners of the team.
