Yall think LeBron James is the most underrated player in history? Because i think so. Some people actually believe hes not a top 5 player all time when hes infact top 2 and will go down as the GOAT, i think its evident that this guy is the most underrated player, he should get much more credit than he does. For example, he posts a triple double all you hear about after the game is him making a no call foul or something? You never hear about all the good stuff he does on the court and that makes him truly underrated imo.

Saying LeBron James is the best player in the world is kinda underrating him in a way since hes much more than just the worlds best player.

Dude this is trolling. Lebron is the most OVER rated player in history....not UNDER rated. You must of made a typo. I didn't even read the rest of that nonsense.

Of course he is.  Look at how great he is on both ends. Can guard all positions. Physically the most talented.  Maybe not the most clutch. That would be a separate discussion. But has great BB IQ and makes great decisions usually. Certainly can say he is a more well-rounded Magic, etc. So, I think you can make that argument.

Yeah. You hear that a lot.

I guess all those MVPs and five straight Finals clinched it......

no. the problem is lebron is alone in being a star in the NBA today.

a generation ago, when the 92 dream team was assembled, lebron woulda been just another top 10 player. 

But millenials today smoke pot, play video games, & get offended by bad words. so the NBA is seeing their talent pool dwindle.

He is easily the best...if you are under age 30 and have no clue.
He is in the top 10, but he is nowhere near Jordan, not to mention Majic, Bird, Kobe...

He is the young boys hero, yet softest prima donna ever to play.

I've been watching basketball since 1983...and Lebron is better then Magic Johnson, Kobe and Bird as a player....Go look at Kobe Jordan, Magic, and Bird Supporting cast....Give Lebron their supporting cast and he wins multiple championships as well...Give those greats his injured Cleveland roster and they are down 3-0 in this series.....

LeBron is asked to do more than any other player in NBA history he's asked to be the leader, lead the team in points, rebounds, assists he also has to coach the team, he has to keep Jr Smith in line that means he's babysitting too..lol...Jordan and Lebron are the two best.....I don't think any of yall who are commenting negatively have even played basketball before...You would have a greater appreciation for what Lebron is doing if you played basketball before...not to mention that Bird, Kobe, Magic and Jordan also had better head coaches then Lebron.....Wake up Everybody!!!!

I know more about basketball then you'll ever know....I've played the sport....you know nothing about the game....How much you wanna bet that Kobe, Bird, Magic would be down 0-3 with this injured Cleveland roster...Jordan would have scored 65 in one game and still would be down 1-2 in this series....None of those players were asked to lead their team in points, rebounds and assists and be the leader and coach of the team...Lebron has to do it all....Basically he has to be the CEO, the Vice President, the manager, the chef, the dishwasher, the waitress and the hostess of the restaurant.....Don't say anything unless you have a decent debate....MurderInc your just a Lebron hater!!!.....I'm a basketball historian.....

Lebron, the most underrated nba player of all time... hahahah.   How can you be underrated when you are seen by almost everyone as the best player, how can you be underrated when they put 'the decision' on tv.. how can you be underrated when he has what? 3 mvps or 4?
Everyone around the world knows who lbj is, he makes millions and millions off endorsements and so on...
Asomugha has the biggest donkey of all time.

Somehow the terms "King" and "underrated" just don't seem to go together well.

you have it completely the opposite. The players in general are so much better now. The elite athletes and bigger athletes of that time that used their size and athleticism to dominate would no longer be able to do so......ie mj has didn't shoot over 30%from 3 until his 8th season. He would not be able to just drive and dominate at the rim now as everyone guarding him would be his size and very athletic

Tonyrome
the fact that you threw kobe in there completely negates everything else you said
