If lebron win a ring this year I'll put him neck and neck with MJ

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Why ya'll always trying to give LeBron the tax refund?

Like "well if he wins 4 championships lets just act like he won 10 scoring titles, 3-peated twice, never lost a game 6, accumulated the 2nd most steals of all time, retired 3 times, still scored 32,000+ for his career, scored 3,000 points in a season and averaged 37ppg in the same season"

That's not how sports work.
When he does everything better is when we'll say so.

I am amazed how people just gloss over this

3 teams post merger have 3 peated post merger and Jordan was the best player for 2 of them

Jordan never would've got blown out in the 1st game of round 2 of the Playoffs

So when it happened to him in the 1st game of round 1 was that better?

Or the 2nd game of round 2?

Or the 3rd game of round 2?


Or the 2nd game of the ECF?


Or the 7th game of the ECF?



Does Jordan just have special "1st game of round 2" superpowers now?

No. If you get farther just to lose more than you win and was on the brink of an ass beating twice

Than your not better than someone who never had a game 7

Who never had a game 7? had multiple game 7s, and even lost some.

Who never was down 3-1

Jordan was down 3-1 twice (lost both), was down 3-0 twice (end of series both times), and was down 3-2 three times (lost all three).

In fact, there was only one time in Jordan's career that he was down after the 2nd game of a series and still came back to win (1993 ECF, down 2-0). He was 1-7 when falling behind in a series past the first game.

Who never lost period

Jordan lost 9 of the 15 seasons he played in the NBA.

Who won more than you did

Finally, THIS is one of the reasons that Jordan is the GOAT. Not the stupid stuff about him having the good sense to lose early before he had the misfortune to drag an inferior team to the Finals.

Jordan is the goat. Since y'all use FMVPs so much when it comes to kobe but somehow, we ignore Jordan's 6 FMVPS. Who has that many FMVPs? Not Bill Russell.

The FMVP didn't exist when Bill Russell was playing.

That's why it's named after him.

Wasn't Magic drafted by the Lakers?

You do realize that Magic came out of college and announced for the draft early specifically so he could join forces with Kareem?


Magic said straight up that if the sorry-ass Bulls had gotten the first pick, he would have stayed in college another year.

Lebron doesn't need to win a title this season to be in the same breath as Michael Jordan.

He already is in the same breath with Michael Jordan.

By just about every modern metric that correlates to winning, Lebron James is rated at, or near the top of all-time players.
He's 32 years old.

Get over it.
These 6-0 Finals arguments and 2011 Mavs comments are tired and weak.

Can u nikkas stop it already..especially if u never saw jordan play...

Jordan is above the clouds

And lebron is sailing below

For me personally kareem will always be the GOAT for not only dominating high school, college and the nba but risking his career by joining russell and jim brown for fighting for ali, which i know none of them nikkas in the 90s or today would have done

Lebron will finish number 3 of all time

But i can understand the teens or nikkas in their 20s cause they only seen lebron play

Facts. I feel like only nikkas who never seen Jordna play even make this comparison. Just was godly on the court. I've never seen anybody even come close.

LeBron could win 5 more titles and 5 more regular season any finals mvps, and i still wouldnt put him over mj. Ive seen enough from both players to say the comparison is blasphemous.

EVERY YEAR THIS THREAD IS MADE....

IF BRON DOES _______ HE'S BETTER THAN JORDAN....

THEN HE FAILS,
THREAD GETS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG...

THEN THE THREAD GETS MADE AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR.



​

Exactly. If he losses this year, they bring it back up if he wins the following.
