😂 Lebron is the guy who cries “Black Lives Matter” yet he happily cashes Nike checks. Ya know. A product built by slave labor. 🤦♂️
Lebron James is so great at basketball his hairline had to hit the fadeaway
What a time to be alive to see the first black president and the greatest basketball scorer in nba history
Jordan #1 always. Lebron is great, but Jordan the goat
HE'S GOING TO HURT HIS RING FINGER
Congrats LeBron!
He just did it
Well
🐐🐐🐐
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will always be my captain 💛💜💛💜🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
If Lebron can’t go for at least 40 tonight, he will never be better than Jordan.
You said it 38 year old LBJ 🐐 🐐🐐
We can't even comment on the state of the union address. I wonder why
2011 LeBron chasing his 1st ring against OKC….
2023 LeBron chasing the NBA all time scoring list against OKC…
Lets go King…👑🐐
#longlivetheking
🤡james.
Lakers fans just say LeBron James tear his Achilles on the biggest night of his career
Jalen is a damn idiot the game against OKC is in LA 🤦♂️
History 👈🏿
Why do you have a moron on TV talking about this historic moment?
Imagine if lebron drops 81
This is why I don’t like listening to these old heads bull Russel over lebron and Kobe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣whatever you say
This is big for LeBron & Kareem
Who cares about you Kobe scored 81 pts on you you're no good .
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐🐐🫡🫡🫡🫡 40 year record now the kid from akron is breaking this record 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
She is so energetic
China must be so proud of it's prodigy
Jalen is high. The OKC game is in LA. Lebron trying both to break the scoring record and win the game he can't afford any preventable losses when Lakers are trying to make the playoffs or play-in. He might drop 36+ tonight and get the much needed Win.
Lebron James is an increasingly insufferable Ahole and a moody crybaby too. There is a reason why a majority of available (big) free agents for the past 4 seasons didn't wanna go to the Lakers and play with Lebron. None of them wanted to put up with his drama nor help "Queen" James get another ring.
He’ll probably take a knee for blm after he breaks record .
What is Jalen talking about? The game tonight is in LA and Kareem will be there
Lebron may get the numbers, but he had an advantage that Kareem did not have. Lebrons' 20 years in the NBA started at age 18, Kareem was 21-22 starting the NBA So, 3-4 of prime years were lost by Kareem through NBA rules at the time. ASTERISK ANYONE?
The Truth is
Lebron "Queen" James will NEVER be the Goat and Why!
1. Lebron and his 'BIG 3' of D. Wade and Bosh got totally Destroyed in the 2014 NBA Finals by the Spurs in 5 games. You can't be the GOAT and lose a Finals getting blown out by 15, 19, 21 and 17 pts in the losses especially when you had D. Wade, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen as teammates. Jordan's Bulls never lost more than one game in any of his 6 NBA Finals by a blowout. Not to mention Lebron's Heat (BIG 3) loss to Dallas in the NBA Finals where Lebron barely showed up. Let's not forget his Cavaliers teams got destroyed and swept in two NBA Finals.
2. Lebron has never come close to a 3peat and if Ray Allen had not hit that miracle series saving 3 pointer against the Spurs in the 2013 Finals. Lebron and his 'Big 3' would have been a pathetic 1-3 in the Finals instead of 2-2.
3. Lebron got totally shutdown and held to just 8 points in an NBA Finals game by the Dallas Mavericks. Jordan never scored less than 22 points in a Finals game. Side note – How about Lebron's pathetic over 4,655 turnovers to Jordans only 2,589.
4. It has taken Lebron being in 10 NBA Finals just to get 4 rings. Jordan is a perfect 6-0 in NBA Finals and never was taken to a game 7. Lebron has lost 6 NBA Finals and his teams were swept 4-0 two times and he lost two other Finals series 4-1. Lebron was very close to being swept 4 times in NBA Finals. Lebron had 6 Finals losses before he could win a 4th title. STF UP with the injury excuses for two of his Finals series losses. Injuries are part of the game. There are many teams in NBA history who lost an NBA Finals with injured players. None of them cried about it and made excuses.
5. Let's not forget that Jordan might have been 8-0 in the Finals had he not retired for about 2 years in between the two 3peats. The Bulls might have won 6 Finals in a row if Jordan had not taken 2 seasons off.
6. Lebron has not even matched the greatness of Kobe Bryant's 5 rings in 7 Finals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 6 rings in 10 Finals, Tim Duncan's 5 rings in 6 Finals or Magic's 5 rings in 9 Finals. So GTF out of here even comparing him to Jordan's dominance.
7. Jordan led the NBA in scoring 10 times to Lebron's 1 time. He has 6 league MVPs to Lebron's 4 MVPs. Jordan was also the best defender in the NBA for a good 7 years and Lebron has never been close to being the top defensive player. Jordan was a straight up assassin/killer every game while Lebron has routinely taken games off and been a crybaby during his career. Jordan played all 82 games at age 40 in his final NBA season on the Wizards averaging 20 pts, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
The stone cold truth is…..
Lebron James will NEVER be the Goat and nothing he does in the remaining time of his career will ever change that fact!
#23 Michael Jordan will always be the NBA Goat!
LeBum James
Go blue! Btw. The game is in la tonight Jalen ..
James is all about the records, if Jordan played for 20 + years he also would have broke the scoring record. Let’s face it, Jordan won six titles in a time that most teams were better than they are now. Father Time has caught up with James, I can guarantee that after he breaks the scoring record his points will go down for the rest of the season. I guarantee he will not win another championship. He has been bad for the Lakers ever since he came to LA.
That was the most ignorant top 4 i've ever heard in my life… this dude really jus put LBJ at #4…
Which shot will LBJ take and make to break the record: 2, 3 or Free-throw?
Jalen said it best:
MJ is the GOAT💯
I like the way Jalen broke this down with LeBron and his durability and longevity however I like to see him not just to get the record and call it a day I like to see him demolished the record and make a run at 40.0000 if the legs 🦵🦿can last and be the only player in that group 🏀👑
Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever
Man, Kareem can't feel bad; it will have taken nearly 40 damn years for his record to finally be eclipsed! That's a feat in of itself!
🫡 👑🐐 class of 2003 ✊🏾

Give ‘em to the bulls
