Since when he never campaigned to be the GOAT. That’s humility breh.
Bron has one quote where he said he felt that coming back from 3-1 in the finals made him the GOAT and ya'll have gotten all this mileage out of it.

Jordan had the Nike machine push the narrative that he was the GOAT, he would influence the media to not report anything that paints him in an unfavorable light, and he has his own fair share of quotes that could be considered as "arrogant" as that Bron quote.

He literally said he set himself apart from Larry and Magic (two GOAT contenders at the time) after his 3peat :mjlol: Imagine if Bron said he set himself apart from Kobe and Duncan after winning his 4th FMVP or some shyt. Ya'll would blow a gasket. That's humility though huh :skip:

His greatest achievement is indeed his longevity. Magic, Bird, Jordan accompshed more in less time. He's the Cal Ripken of basketball and thats okay.
Bill Russell is the most accomplished player ever. 13 years, 12x Finals, 11x champion (8x as a #1), 5x MVP, widely regarded as the greatest defender ever, before DPOY existed, otherwise he'd probably have 5 of those...

What exactly does that mean, though? He accomplished more than everybody in less or equal time, so what does that mean?

It was apparently 55 wins not 57, the leader in the east had 57. And the year before that, with MJ, they had 57. So I mixed it up.
They won 55 and a playoff round with a rookie and inconsequential bench players replacing MJ. They were also top five in net rating the next season despite losing Grant (the second best player on the 1994 team) to the Magic.

Jordan was fortunate enough to play on the most stacked team in a miserable era. No Lebron team is winning that many games if you simply remove him from the roster in an offseason and not replace him with an all-star :mjlol:

You're still wrong because he didn't join a 55 win team. The Bulls were only 2 games above .500 when MJ came back.
With grant they were a 55 win team.
With Rodman they probably would’ve lead the east.

The latest full season bulls had before mj joined was 55 wins :yeshrug:

MJ peak > Bron peak
Its arguable both ways, it ain't like they played in the same era vs the same competition with the same rules. The argument has been made aplenty in years gone by that Wilt or Kareem had the highest peaks. Its a short list and all those guys are on it---->including LeBron.

This should end the fukkibg thread 🤣 just shutting down the OP's terrible premise that Mike was some humble spirit 🤣

Some nighas need to see this, some of us though are old enough to know that the word "humility" is not associated with no gotdamn Michael Jordan 🤣 its cool when he do it, its a problem when Bron does it 😉

I’m really just tired of all Stan groups, LeBron, MJ, Kobe and I’m not admitting that basketball is a team sport :snoop:

MJ: “Id like to THINK that I was the best”.

MJ: “I think this sets me apart from Magic Johnson and Larry Bird..” - meaning his contemporaries he was compared to back then.

Where did her say that he WAS the best ever?
Lebron SAYING it once was enough, also to go along with his OBVIOUS media campaign paying outlets to say he’s the GOAT.





Take your 4-6 finals record with super teams and rolllllll Cole!

You can't be serious with these quotes. Jordan was called a selfish showboat who wasn;t a winner like Bird & Magic, why wouldn't he be proud to accomplish something they couldn't?

He said he'd like to think he's the GOAT, He didn't declare himself the GOAT

LeBron he had nothing hangging over his head and he's supposed to be the GOAT. Kobe had a rape case over his head.


Y'all told me Kobe not even top 10 though and players have him at 3?:ohhh:

Hey fakkit look at this . shytty ass performance after running to a super team :mjlol:

So many but who knew jumping from the FT line meant you were a winner :leon:


Bron isn’t a winner. Great player, but an he is more of an opportunist.

Not mad that you have the ability to change the cards you're dealt, but if it wasn’t for the team hopping he would probably not be sitting on 3.8 rings now.

Nobody cares. Nothing you said addresses what I said :beli: You bringing up irrelevant shyt like a woman :beli: The bolded applies to half of the NBA. You must be Rich or Maverick. Tell LeBron to his face that I said he's soft. If he actually had heart, he should've stayed until he beat Boston :beli:
hahaha.gif

And Lebron said he FEELS that one made him the GOAT :unimpressed:

Virtually zero difference between the quotes but if Lebron said he THINKS he was the best or if he namedropped Kobe, Duncan, Curry, or other peers while saying that he THINKS he surpassed them ya'll would be crying about that like you deranged Bron haters are prone to do.

There’s literally 3 different examples in the 59 second video you stupid ass groupie :dead:

Dude be lying to get points across the media use to call Jordan an overrated hog who can’t win like magic & bird

Again the revisionism of an era you clearly weren’t old enough to witness. You’re an instagram & twitter historian all your news are results of searches

The Bulls offense also was much worse without MJ. Even when they won 55 games, they went from 2nd in off rating with MJ to 14th without him, and couldn't get a bucket in big moments vs the Knicks in the playoffs.

To act like the Bulls were running on all cylinders without MJ is just misleading shyt. The next season the East was much stronger and the Bulls were mid until Mike came back.

No different than the Raptors going to the Playoffs without Kawhi.

Let Bron Stans keep playing stupid.
