This was not the response I was referring to.

I was talking about his response when a reporter asked MJ how he would have guarded Lebron

i looked and lebron doesnt mention russell while respondin to that quote. unless you can find different.


i think you mixed the two together and im pretty sure that was the one you referred to. you were not accurate with your interpretation. this is exactly what i mean when i say youre hate blinds you from reality and you really reach for things to hate

i believe this is the quote u were thinkin of:

"(Jordan) said he would take Kobe over me because ... five rings are better than one, and the last time he checked, five is better than one," James said. "At the end of the day, rings don't always define someone's career. If that's the case, then I'd sit up here and say I would take (Bill) Russell over Jordan. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't take Russell over Jordan. Russell has 11 rings, Jordan has six. I wouldn't do that."

No I don't I was talking about another comment Lebron made in reference to what MJ said if he were to guard him.

You obviously do not think Lebron has done anything questionable and I will just accept that.

Lebron has said and done to many questionable things to me. I am not going to judge him but based off of past comments he has made, he seems very arrogant and not humble.

If you think he is a good role model and is humble then so be it but I don't and thats okay because we all do not have to agree. It doesnt make me a hater or anything of the sort especially if I have intelligent and legitimate reasons for my opinion.

That year he loss to Dallas, he straight up dissed the middle class and you do not have a problem with that lol

I always admit when I am wrong and I do not have a problem in admitting when I am wrong but that was not the quote I was referring to.

You have assumed that I have mixed the quotes up and since you assume that you think I was referring to the quote you posted, you think that was what I was referring to.

I can not help what you assume even after I told you that was not the quote I was referring to. I was referring to what Lebron had said in response to the way MJ said he would have guarded him not whether he preferred him over Kobe.

You're making an assumption that I clearly already explained but fine if that is what you think so be it. Celebrities bring up similar comparisons all the time. LB is always compared to MJ and asked about him.

It is not really a big of deal lol. Besides that quote, LB has done a number of questionable things that warrants some of the criticism he gets in my opinion. You obviously disagree and that is okay but just because other people may have their unpopular opinions it does not make them a hater. I did not call him out his name, disrespect him or attack him. I gave intelligent reasons for my opinion.

Make you could find the quote that clearly doesn't exist. It's pretty low of you to make up things LeBron never said just because you hate him for no reason.

Fixed.
