LeBron has been highly regarded as the best player in the NBA for the past decade, but in 2015 fans are no longer thinking he’s the best player in the league. Fans are praising players like Steph Curry and Anthony Davis, and forgetting how good LeBron actually is. He won 4 MVP awards in a stretch of 5 years, been in the finals the past 5 years so he knows he’s the best, regardless of what people are saying. KRIT also throws a line in there questioning the greatness and importance of winning a ring. LeBron has lost 4 championships, while Kobe has won 5.

So I’m beheading them all
