James self-proclaimed GOAT has caused controversy

Unexpectedly, a remark caused a stir on the Internet, for two reasons: the first is LeBron James, and the second is that he said he was GOAT (the best player in history). The cause of the incident was that when James participated in a program called "More Than An Athlete", he recalled the feeling of leading the Cavaliers to reverse the Warriors 1-3 in 2016. He summed up his feelings at that time with: "It was that moment that made me GOAT." Although James later explained in detail why he felt this way, it is obvious that the self-proclaimed GOAT has spread around the world through the Internet.

If GOAT is a piece of TNT explosive, then James is a detonator. When the detonator and TNT are combined, stability becomes rabour. The entire Internet was infuriated by James's words. Unfortunately, there are few who support James' self-proclaimed GOAT remarks, and the vast majority of them say that he is not worthy of his name. Many neutral fans turned to the point of condemning James. Fortunately, James doesn't care about online remarks like Durant, otherwise he would have wasted a lot of time just by playing against netizens.

Putting aside extreme emotions, a lone hero who fell behind 1-3 in the finals and reversed the regular season 73 wins and 9 losses in the historically-level team. Just because I felt that I was GOAT, I was criticized by the whole network? Wronged? Unjust? Not willing to give up? I believe many fans who recognize James will think. Then why is James just not good at proclaiming himself GOAT?

First of all, we need to figure out that the definition of "GOAT" is "the best in history". When the best prefix rises to the historical level. That means that those who challenge this title will face not only active opponents but also ancient gods. There are many ancient masters in the NBA dimension. The most well-known one is Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball". Jordan's achievements not only won two three consecutive championships, sweeping almost all superstars in the 1990s. It is also because he saved the NBA on the verge of shutdown and used his personal IP to make the NBA go global.

Jordan was in an era where many stars were, but he was the only one. At least 70% of the people who followed the NBA were targeting Jordan at that time. In contrast, James is in the era, at least he is surrounded by Wang Durant and Curry. Therefore, in the dimension of influence of the times, James and Jordan are in a different state. Just looking at this point, James will definitely be scolded if he proclaims himself GOAT.

Secondly, James is super giant but has flaws. His flaw is that he fails to achieve one person and one city. Most of the championships are based on super giants rather than personal strength. Among the four championships of James, the most valuable one was the Cavaliers in 2016. The other three crowns have made contributions to at least one super giant. In contrast, Jordan broke through the Pistons' siege when he won his first career championship. After retirement, he returned again and won three more championships. After leaving, he returned to the championship and won the legendary story, and Jordan completed the two consecutive championships with the Bulls and did not change teams, which also made his honor soar.

Of course, although James' self-proclaimed GOAT is not true, he won four championships. Winning the championship for my hometown is another major reversal in the finals is also legendary enough. When there is no one, James can reminisce about that feeling by himself, and then claim to be GOAT without anyone else, but don't say it publicly, because the public will not empathize with James' emotions and will only compare honors, so he will naturally say that he is not worthy of his name. After all, James wants to express his emotions, but netizens only look at the value of honor. It is naturally impossible to imagine that it is not in the same dimension.
