When basketball fans are asked who the best forwards in the sport’s history are, the names that come up most often are Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, James Harden, even a Carmelo Anthony, who was capable of destroying a defense from mid-range. The one who comes up less often, paradoxically, is LeBron James.

For the King is none other than the all-time leading scorer, and when he retires, his record may seem even more untouchable than Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points in a game. LeBron’s longevity can’t be the only explanation for this success, yet many detractors claim that he lacks the offensive qualities of some of his rivals.

In the latest episode of his podcast, the main man spoke out on the subject, claiming that he could never have surpassed the “50 billion points” mark with a limited arsenal. A view shared by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who spoke out on social networks. For the Greek Freak, it’s a total aberration to say such things.

If they’re people out there that believe that one of the greatest players to ever be on earth has no bag… Man i’ve seen it all 💯🤦🏽‍♂️ https://t.co/fPioveZcJf

Giannis Antetokounmpo can’t believe that some fans criticize LeBron James and his offensive qualities, even though he’s one of the best players in the history of the sport. He doesn’t necessarily have the most stunning dribbles, his mechanics don’t exude the ease of Kevin Durant, and yet he is by far the NBA’s leading scorer. As a reminder, the King, at his prime, is this:

This isn’t even half of LeBron’s bag obviously those who say he doesn’t have a bag is expecting a 6”9 Forward to dribble like Kyrie Irving a bag doesn’t consist of just dribbling LeBron haters are a bunch of casuals pic.twitter.com/RemNYFR8LM
