March 2019: LeBron James is no longer the best player in the world. So who is?

Lebron is still a great offensive talent. Age is just catching up with him. I think he's still in the top 20 of the league, certainly top 10 of his position.

Best in the NBA right now for me is Kawhi, but I've always loved his development since watching him on the Spurs. KD is a good choice, too, but we gotta see how his recovery pans out.

Name 10 small forwards ahead of Lebron man. Forget it, just name 5. I'll be waiting.

Man, you must be trippin’ if you think I can’t name nine players I prefer. I didn’t even say he was #10 either, just that he was in the top ten. But sure, I’ll bite with this wack fanboying.

Kawhi, Butler, Giannis, Durant, PG, Iguodala (who is also old and slowing down), Harris, Gay, Hayward, and Lebron would all be in my top ten. In no particular order after the first four. Any basic fan of the sport could do this, lmao.

Wack fanboying.

Just because I think it's ridiculous to make the claim that Lebron is top 10 at his position (I mean laughable statement really off course he is at least that) doesn't mean I'am a Lebron fanboy. Far from it actually. But yeah Iguodala might be just as good, LOL.

He's trolling. The type of hot takes you'd read on Facebook.

Re: March 2019: LeBron James is no longer the best player in the world. So who is?

Nope, not trolling.

Also, it just happens I'm a fan of Hayward since his time in Utah. He's bottom ten, at least, though that's due to obvious injuries and other substantial issues. As for the "laughable statement" part, I'm not sure how stating a fact (that you seem to agree with?) is laughable in the slightest. But I should expect a bronsexual to diminish any opinion outside of the gospel.

SMH.

Are you incapable of having a discussion about this without throwing out juvenile adjectives at people that disagree with you?

This dude really signed up 16 hours ago and is saying Bron is ‘top 20’.

Dude is top 2. There’s only one dude currently better than him in the league lmao.

Is this Gowi dude somebody who got banned and made a new profile?

Re: March 2019: LeBron James is no longer the best player in the world. So who is?

Saying he's a top 20 player and top 10 at his position would be a true statement if you had him ranked number 1 in the league or number 20 in the league.. So I don't think that's all that outlandish of a statement. Also ranking KD, Kawhi, Giannis ahead of him, I don't know that I agree with that (actually I know that I def don't) but we've yet to see Bron play this year and he looked like he took a step back post-injury in the last few games we saw from him.. So that's whatever too..

But did nobody else catch that he ranked Jimmy Butler ahead of him? Like I can't be the only person who finds that absolutely ridiculous right?

I really like two-way forwards, lol. Jimmy's always been great, but ultimately its a subjective measure.

I personally think Lebron is aging and he's adjusting to it, he's still great but I don't think he's top three at his position anymore. We'll have to see how the 2019-2020 season fairs. If he ends up giving his best season yet, I'll gladly admit I was wrong about thinking he's on the downturn.

Nope. Just a long time dude who has followed basketball and 2K. Figured I'd make an account. Sorry to disappoint you. Real welcoming environment you got here.

But I guess having the opinion that an all-time offensive powerhouse is just now starting to decline and no longer the best forward in the league is ridiculous enough to be called a “troll” and “fake account”. That’s kind of wild.

You're gonna play the victim card now? Nice comeback. You put Iggy and Hayward on par with Lebron James, how could it not be trolling?

Would you have reacted this aggressively if I had said top five instead of top ten? I wasn't placing him at #10. There was no way I was saying Iggy or Hayward were objectively (or even subjectively) better, lol. As far as how I perceived the post was to name ten players of the same position of some validity.

I asked you to name 10 players ahead of Lebron or even 5. And you came up with names like Harris, Butler, Iggy and hayward. I didn't ask you to name 10 small forwards.

And we would've had a normal discussion had you not started the Wack fanboyism crap or the Bronsexual comments. No place for this ****.

Re: March 2019: LeBron James is no longer the best player in the world. So who is?

I still stand by my four preferred small forwards over him, but okay dude. You do you.
