  2. freestajlarn

    Well outside of basketball you’re a moron so

  3. LeBronRaymoneJamesSr

    LeBron haters hit this thread first 😞

  4. He must have the world record for most time spent on the first page of books by now.

  5. Odd-Computer-174

    Why read past the first page…?

  6. KhanYoung9

    Terrible day for us Ballislife acolytes

  7. Aspiring_DILF42

    100 years from now in the barbershop “Hey remember LeBron James, the psychic? He predicted everything “

  8. Confident_Pen_919

    You heard it here. People will talk about Space Jam 3 in the same breath as The Godfather and Pulp Fiction

  9. The_Nutz16

    Bad news LeBron; Nephews on Reddit gonna be acting like no one in the NBA was even athletic during his era 10 after he retires.

  10. eucldian

    I mean Space Jam was bad enough that they might still be talking about it.

  11. AppropriateTerm673

    Bro wants to be remembered as a responsible father

  12. Famous-Change1565

    Did any of you watch the video lol? He’s talking about hoping he’s remembered for being a great father, role model, husband, and for uplifting his friends and other people in his life.

    All things we give Lebron props for all the time, why are people shitting on him lmao.

  13. frogiraffe

    Those fucking sunglasses are so bad what is he doing

  14. Anim8nFool

    Yeah, they’ll talk about the time you decided that money from basketball shoes sold in China was more important than standing up for free speech.

  15. Kwilly462

    I actually think he’s gonna make a great owner one day. Like the team will suck at first cuz it’s an expansion team, but he’s gonna do wonders for it.

  16. Garkech

    Sorry you’re going to have to content with being one of the greatest basketball players ever

  17. Prudent_Ad8320

    Also one of the worst movie producers ever

  18. twoplustwo_5

    Why would anyone remember him for his relationship with his buddies? Or for how he raised his kids? lol. This man is delusional if he thinks anyone will remember him for anything except basketball.

  19. HighFastStinkyCheese

    It’s obviously the game of basketball people will talk about and that’s no failure obviously

  20. trongzoon

    In 100 years, he’s gonna be remembered for his thighs because of this video

  21. -Dead-Eye-Duncan-

    Are those glasses too small for him?

  22. qwertypotato32

    I’ve bsseseen said this. if LeBron, by the end of his life and people still remember him for playing ball. he would consider that a failure.

  23. AnnaAlways87

    I know people are clowning but I agree.

    He’s genuinely tried to improve the lives of those in poverty, to offer them and especially their children a sincere way out.

    He puts his own feet on the ground goo.

    He climbed that ladder out of the hole and then pulled it up and replaced it with a larger and more durable one for everyone else.

  24. redditnathaniel

    People from 1924 didn’t nearly have the same documentation around them like people from 2024 (digital cameras, smartphones, internet). Considering this, LeBron can easily be remembered for many things.

  25. IncurableRingworm

    Basketball players always sound so lame when they call basketball “the game of basketball” like it’s important.

    I say this as a total sports lunatic who has spent an ungodly number of hours in his life watching amateur and professional sports: they’re not *actually* important.

  26. GriffinQ

    These comments are bizarre. The **immediate jump** to “fuck this dude, he’s only good for one thing” when literally all he’s saying is that he wants his legacy to be about more than sports? Y’all are some truly unhappy people.

    He’s not saying “my relationship with my friends” is a more noticeable thing to the general public than being the best basketball player ever. But when people tell his story, he hopes they talk about his family, his friends, his impact on his community. **He is saying what everyone should hope for out of their lives: that he leaves the world better than how he entered it.**

    But you joyless fucks would rather just hate because god forbid someone say something isn’t entirely self-centered and focused on what *you* focus on about them. Bunch of actual children.

  27. Merbleuxx

    It’s okay Bron, I’ll always remember you for Taco Tuesday

  28. whiskeypenguin

    The same Lebron that defended China censorship? That Lebron? Nah fam. One of the goats in basketball and we’ll just leave it at that.

  29. RiversofJell0

    People will be talking about his leg muscles

  30. buythedip666

    LeBron, the man who stood on the side of the Chinese during the takeover of Hong Kong?

  31. ExistentDavid1138

    People still mention George Mikan so it’s possible Lebron Kobe will be seen as an era of great players

  32. LyonsKing12

    It truly is amazing how many irrational haters Lebron has.

  33. Basic_Fix3271

    r/NBA when someone is ambitious: 😡

  34. jadomar

    Anybody can help me with the shoe? What is it?

  35. eidolonwyrm

    I will remember LeBron James as someone that wears sunglasses way too small for his face

  36. Extra_Independent516

    this guy is like if jayson tatum was 10% less cringe

  37. JediKnight2024

    Bro thinks we’re gonna remember his podcast with JJ that fondly

  38. HueyLewisFan1

    Lebron, you’ll only be talked about with basketball lmao

  39. PotentiallyMaybeSo

    Lebron James the avid and voracious book enthusiast… LeBiblioteca James

  40. PocketFullOfRondos

    This sounds so contrived and egotistical. Great, dude. You’re a brand. First of all, you’re one of the best basketball players of all time.
