Why LeBron James Will Ruin His Legacy By Continuing to Play in the NBA

Listen to YouTube sports documentarian Jay Skapinac of the YouTube channel Skap Attack explain why LeBron James risks tarnishing his legacy if he sticks around in the NBA another two or three years and adds even more instances of embarrassing playoff exits and scapegoated head coaches thrown under the bus. 

Check out the segment above as Skapinac mocks LeBron’s biggest simps in the mainstream media for finally realizing that his ‘GOAT’ case against Michael Jordan is beginning to deteriorate.

Jay Skapinac: “We are one week removed from the Denver Nuggets bidding the Lakers ado for a second consecutive season, and a lot has already happened since then. The Lakers have already fired head coach Darvin Ham for LeBron and are swirling around possibly hiring his latest Klutch Sports stable boy, J.J. Redick. Meanwhile, LeBron is expected, per agent and BFF Rich Paul, to play in an additional two to three years, and the Lakers are just drooling over the prospects of giving him a full three-year $164 million extension. 
Oh, and of course, are also reportedly willing to draft Bronny to pair with LeBron despite the fact he checked in as just the eighth-leading scorer on a bad USC team in his freshman year of collegiate eligibility. Yeah, the writing is on the wall for a LeBron return and it looks like he will be playing for as many as 24 NBA Seasons now. 
One of the closest LeBron confidants -- world-renowned Bron jock-sniffer extraordinaire, Kendrick Perkins, just dropped this gem on ESPN Airwaves: 
Kendrick Perkins: ‘The more LeBron James continues to play the game of basketball the more it's going to hurt his legacy, and the more it's going to continue to hurt his GOAT argument.’ 
You know it's bad when this guy starts turning against the Klutch Sports company line and biting the hand that feeds him. A guy who has been as blindly and delusionally loyal as any.  Luckily Bron still has ‘Unc’ Shannon Sharpe to cover his back. 
Shannon Sharpe: ‘Were you expecting Michael Jordan to get to the Eastern Conference Finals when he was in Washington, Perk? It’s a simple ‘yes or no.’’ 
Of course there wasn't that level of expectation placed on Jordan, as Jordan's best supporting castmate in his second and final season in Washington was Jerry Stackhouse, who in his 18 years in the NBA made two All-Star appearances, zero All-NBA team selections, and had a career average of 16.9 points per game, 3-3 assists, and 3.2 rebounds. 
Here's a little reminder for the ignorant stooge ‘unc’ Shannon... Anthony Davis is a top 75 all-time player sporting career averages of 24 points and 11 rebounds per game, is fourth all-time in career Player Efficiency Rating, and is 16th in career Win Shares per 48 minutes, which is above players like Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Larry Bird. Davis has also been named to four All-NBA First Team selections. 
Of course the expectations are high for a player who himself will be making an All-NBA team this year, which will make the Lakers the only team in the NBA this season with two players selected to an All-NBA team. All of it to win one total playoff game. 
But Sharpe wasn't done humiliating himself: 
Sharpe: ‘If he could have had Ty Lue, or he could have had an Erik Spoelstra, do I believe LeBron James would have had more titles? Yes.’ 
‘If he had a Ty Lue or Erik Spoelstra??’ He had BOTH of those guys and left each of them. He only left Spoelstra after he tried to get Pat Riley to fire Spolestra, and that is according to Riley himself on the record for the Ian Thompson book.  
Who the hell would have ever thought Kendrick Perkins of all people would be starting to become the voice of reason at that festering turd network, but this is just how bad it’s getting for LeBron James. This is what happens when longevity works against you. If the Lakers extend him for three more seasons and if LeBron plays out the full length of that contract, we are talking 24 years. And if the smoke clears and the dust settles with him having just three legitimate titles, and a preseason exhibition tournament disguised as an NBA championship in the Disney Bubble -- at the end of a career that spanned a quarter of a century with unprecedented health and durability and while playing with elite level supporting casts for the vast majority of it -- that would be the death nail on not only the GOAT conversations but we would really have to start honing in on just what exactly the placement of LeBron James is compared to the other all-time greats that won what they won in time frames substantially less than James. 
While LeBron's durability and sustained level of play is undoubtedly the best we have seen, he also undeniably hasn't been remotely as dominant as many other players when it comes to their impact on winning championships, and at the end of the day isn't that what should truly be the thing that defines a player?”
