A topic of conversation in any circumstance in the NBA, LeBron James was recently placed number 1 on an exceptional list by a former member of the league. What provoke the great anger of Internet users, even fans of the King.
At 36, and in view of his track record, his source of motivation is no longer really the shadow of a doubt. Quadruple champion and MVP, LeBron James is still looking to improve its legacy with new titles. The conquest of a back-to-back would certainly have helped him, but unfortunately for him is no longer relevant.
Boosted by his coronation last year, his rating with the fans suffered a hell of a blow following his recent elimination in the first round of the playoffs. It is therefore rare, in recent weeks, to find strong support for him in the all-time rankings. Ryan Hollins can still fit in this category, following his reaction to a video calling Magic Johnson the greatest Laker in history.
LEBRON? https://t.co/a1gjwMi3Yv

The former league journeyman therefore seems to make the King the true holder of this exceptional status. However, with only three seasons contested on the Los Angeles side, the latter can hardly compete with its glorious predecessors in the franchise. Internet users have tried to make it understood, at first in a calm manner.
You really said LeBron? Lmaooo
I’m the biggest LeBron fan but y’all gotta separate “greatest laker” and “greatest player to play for the Lakers”

Did you really say LeBron? Mdrrr
I’m LeBron’s biggest fan, but you have to distinguish “greatest Laker” and “greatest player who played for the Lakers”
LeBron wins 1 ring in a Lakers jersey and you’re really ready to put him ahead of Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, West and others?
LeBron is an all time great, but long ways away from the greatest Laker ever!

LeBron wins a single ring in a Lakers jersey, and you’re ready to put it in front of Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, West and others? LeBron is among the best all-times, but is still a long way off in the ranking of the greatest Lakers in history.
Other Twittos, however, have not shown the same patience, and have directly sent the old pivot to the ropes.
dont speak about basketball ever again

A crappy review from Ryan Hollins? Nothing new under the sun.
A big fan of LeBron James, Ryan Hollins, however, did not get good publicity as an analyst with this release. Hopefully he will reconsider his judgment after the tidal wave he has just suffered.
