Lebron has pushed the envelope so much that his legacy is in jeopardy. He will no doubt be considered a great one but the GOAT debate is over. He will either be considered a great stat man like Karl Malone or a great player like Larry Bird. If he continues to act like a diva and play defense whenever he wants and throw his teammates under the bus, he will be like a Karl Malone great (top 50 great) If he goes back to being a hungry monster and considering people like Kevin Durant as basketball enemies and making a point to outplay them at every instance, he will be considered Mt. Rushmore great. I remember Michael Jordan trying to crush people like Ron Harper, he took up and coming players as a challenge. Larry Bird used to go to inner cities and crush people, he even said that putting a white guy on him was disrespectful and he made it his mission to crush the Dominique Wilkins of the NBA. Bird and Jordan had killer instincts and Lebron now carries a murse and drinks wine (vino) on the bench. The Lakers will not get any significant free agents because they don’t want to play second fiddle to Lebron. Lebron will have to be a man this summer and lift his teammates, he will have to push them and the Lakers will have to overpay for a shooter to complement his ball dominant approach. They might be better off trading Lebron for a few picks to a team with cap space and trying to get two superstars to come to LA together. This is also risky because Jeannie buss and Rob Pelinka are two of the worst executives in the NBA.
