The difference between Jordan and LeBron is the first Warriors title. GS was not great LeBron shyt the bed. Jordan would have killed them in the post.
Scoring in the post isn't some magic fairy dust that was somehow going to outweigh the Warriors 3-pt shooting in that series. You don't get extra points by fulfilling some aesthetic/faux-fundamental element of the game. Once the Warriors role players started making their open shots, it was over for Cleveland; not Bron or any other player in his place was going to change that.

No the difference is the '11 Finals collapse. '15 was an All-Time performance, Jordan isn't winning that series without Kyrie or Love either...


Except this part isn't true, there was a portion of The Culture crowning Mike as GOAT with only three rings; LeBron was being viewed as Top 10 after one and entered conversation as the individual greatest ever after three, and he has been seen as greater than most GOATs without equaling or exceeding their ring counts for years...

So I dont need you to be cordial with me lol, just be objective...

I want to win championships, and I want to compete for championships. Only in the minds of Mike Stans are continually competing for championships seen as a drawback because it isnt something that favors Mike...
Would you say Bron was competing for chips in 2017 and 2018 where his team went 1-9 against the Warriors in the finals or did he just get there to be food? Let’s trade alliances for a sec. if Bron was 6-0 6 FMVP no game 7 allowed in finals 2 3-peat 15 years what would we say versus MJ 4-6 finals 4 FMVP losing finals record swept twice 2011 finals meltdown 17years? We would say Bron is the goat!

What kind of backwards logic are you attempting? The Cavs both years were one of the last two teams standing, yest they were competing for championships...

The '17 Warriors are widely regarded as a Top 5 GOAT team, no team in the history of the sport that also isn't a GOAT team would even have a chance, they damn near swept the entire postseason...

And come on, the '18 Cavs? Lmao they were underdogs in every single series and still made The Finals, with another legendary Bron postseason run and what is widely considered to be the greatest individual Finals performance ever in G1 of that year's Finals...

I'll leave it to you to explain how those teams weren't competing for championships, especially the '18 version that yall nikkas swore was losing every round hahaha...

:comeon: Bron sabotaged himself by breaking his own hand after that game. Nothing about that is legendary, y’all Bron stans are blind witnesses.

But LeBron is the best player to ever grace the earth.

surely he should’ve gotten ONE game out of four tries.

Timmy getting swept doesn’t justify LeBron getting swept 2x in the finals. LeBron is on a diff level than Timmy right?

even Iverson took a game from the Lakers in 01.

Jus sayin
First off, MJ is my GOAT, so don't know why you're talking like that.

Why you mentioning Duncan getting swept and ignoring that Jordan, Magic, Kareem, etc. all got swept too? :francis:

Jordan is the best player to ever grace the Earth and that didn't stop him from getting swept out of the first round back-to-back when he was a year older than Bron's first Finals run.

Magic and Kareem got swept TOGETHER when they were both in their prime AND had a 3rd HOFer in his prime in the starting lineup too. Two years before that they lost in the 1st round to a team with a losing record.

Some of ya dumbasses still haven't figured out that bball is a team game. No one wins a ring on their own, no one even wins a single game on their own. Jordan's 63-point game on 22-41 shooting is the highest-scoring playoff game ever...but he still lost. Bron's 51-8-8 Finals game on 19-32 shooting is one of the greatest Finals performances ever....but he still lost. That's how basketball is played, one player can't single-handedly win a game, ever. His teammates and the opposing team always play a role.

MJ was bigger and taller than Payton and quite a bit more athletic. When GP switched over to guarding him and started locking him up on the regular, why didn't Jordan just kill him in the post?

In fact, why doesn't ANY guard kill guys in the post anymore? Some players go to it on occasion but no one can do it all game. Why is that?

I'll dap. But you don't think Hakeem knows more about basketball than you? If Tom Cruise said he knew more about flim than you you would take that. If Barack Obama said he knew more about politics you wouldn't say otherwise. If a crack head said he knew more about crack you wouldnt argue. so what makes you wiser than Hakeem.

CHECK THE FILES

@Gil Scott-Heroin IS UNEQUIVOCALLY THE BIGGEST JOKE ON THIS FORUM WHEN IT COMES TO ANALYZING BASKETBALL

HE’S ONE OF THOSE CLOWNS THAT HAS NO BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME BEYOND ANALYTICS

HE THINKS IF U STUDY THE NUMBERS HARD ENOUGH IT CAN PUT YOU ON THE SAME LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AS HAKEEM

A LOT of players active and retired think this behind closed doors, theyve played against Bron or seen him play and know he aint that good but cant risk getting blackballed by the LeStan media or getting a check from Klutch to say otherwise

but it seems as Brons career dwindles down more and more are coming out and saying how they really feel

You are just saying he has an agenda because he said something “bad” about your favorite player. You’re just making that up in your head and ignoring the rest of what he said.
No I'm saying any player has an agenda and you're denying it because he something bad about the player you hate the most, this is comical at this point :mjlol:

Then isn’t it fair to say that a superstar player’s accomplishments that lead to the team winning should weigh more than his individual accomplishments? The ultimate goal of a team is to win the championship.
