Brewer: Is LeBron James the GOAT? Forget the debate. It’s asking the wrong question.
LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers celebrates after hitting the game winning shot to beat the Toronto Raptors 105-103 in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2018 NBA Playoffs at Quicken Loans Arena on May 5, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio. Every time the NBA playoffs makes us want to yawn, LeBron James swoops in and changes our reaction to mouths agape. We’re in awe of the best player in basketball doing best-player-in-basketball things, stretching his powers beyond perceived limitations and transforming the flawed Cleveland Cavaliers into the Finals contender that they shouldn’t be.
