LeBron is overrated takes are some of the worst on the Internet. I cannot wrap my head around it.
Overrated as in he shouldn’t be in serious consideration for GOAT.
Why can’t you wrap your head around that very simple concept? (Btw, LBJ‘s name coming up in GOAT discussion or even top 5 is a far, far worse take on the Internet)
He can be a HOF and an all-time great player yet still be overrated.
He’s often lauded as one of the top 2 or 3 players EVER. He isn’t. That’s why he’s overrated.
A laundry list of reasons why can be cited and have been cited incessantly, by many, over the years. If you really want to debate the finer points, feel free to start up a dedicated thread and I’ll pile on.
I can list at least a dozen players that have made more of an impact and were straight up clutch when their teams needed it most in the biggest games.
LBJ historically ran from big shots and depended on others to close out or save games. Which is hilarious from a guy that might end up the highest scorer in the league history.
Forget the MJ comparisons. Dude isn’t better than Magic, Larry or Kobe let alone Wilt, Kareem or Russell. Not even close.
The only reason this generation thinks LBJ is better than those players is because they are bombarded 24/7 with pro LBJ propaganda on most media outlets and social media. Some outlets are worse than others (hello ESPN).
