The LeBron James<\/a> GOAT debate was reignited when the Los Angeles Lakers went up 3-0 on the Houston Rockets. Sports shows and fans couldn\u2019t get enough of 41-year-old LeBron leading the Luka-less Lakers to what seemed like a clean sweep after they were considered the underdog going into the 4-seed vs. 5-seed Western Conference matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then the debate took a turn as the Lakers lost two in a row to the Rockets, despite the absence of Kevin Durant<\/a> from the lineup.<\/p>\n

Now, the conversation has reached its peak in this year\u2019s playoffs after LeBron posted an impressive 28\/7\/8 stat line, including a team-best plus\/minus (+26), in their decisive 98-78 victory in Game 6 in Houston.<\/p>\n

After the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick informed the media that James\u2019 teammates weighed in on the GOAT. Funny enough, they made their thoughts known with a specific sound.<\/p>\n

LEGENDARY OLYMPIAN MICHAEL PHELPS SIDES WITH MICHAEL JORDAN IN RENEWED NBA GOAT DEBATE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During the postgame press conference, Redick stated, “When we all went in [the locker room], I don\u2019t know why, but the lights were off\u2026 Literally every single guy was going, “Bahhhh! Bahhhhh!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Redick further elaborated on his team\u2019s animalistic remarks by stating, “It speaks to [Lebron\u2019s] greatness.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that what LeBron is doing at age 41<\/a> in his 23rd NBA season is impressive. His longevity and his play in the first round, averaging 23.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, has sparked heavy praise.<\/p>\n

After highlighting his team\u2019s praise of their seemingly ageless superstar, Redick weighed in on the GOAT debate himself saying, “To me, he\u2019s had the greatest career of any NBA<\/a> player. You can argue all you want, and I really don\u2019t care to postulate on who\u2019s the greatest of all time, but he\u2019s one of, if not the greatest of all time.”<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m firmly planted in the Michael Jordan<\/a> is the greatest of all time camp, I can recognize LeBron\u2019s greatness. I have many criticisms of LeBron\u2019s career, style of play, attitude, coachability, leadership qualities and political stances, but I will give him a golf clap for his first-round performance. If he wants a round of applause, and even a standing ovation, he\u2019ll need to perform at a high level against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If LeBron struggles individually against the Thunder, the same people in the media and beyond who praised him for beating a depleted Rockets team that played five of six games without its best player, Durant, should stay consistent and not lean on age or Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s absence as excuses. In the meantime, rather than rehashing the MJ vs. LeBron debate, it\u2019s worth appreciating the real heavyweight fight: LeBron versus Father Time, a battle he\u2019s still, at least for now, holding at bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
