The San Antonio Spurs

this is why nikkas see LeBron fans as imbeciles who started watching the NBA during the Miami Heat big 3 era :francis:

Motherfukker you knew what I meant.

99 Kobe was a non factor so idk why you bringing that up

03 Lakers lost to the Spurs because the Spurs were a great team.

08 Cavs lost to the Magic but it was because Bron wasn’t good enough to beat them and y’all clowned him.

@10bandz you mean that 99 short season title where Kobe was still 2nd year struggling player :mjlol

Y’all really gonna count that

The 03 Spurs who won when Kobe was starting shyt between him and Shaq that caused the downfall of the Lakers :mjlol:

Y’all got revisionist history

If Lebron shot the type of shots Kobe shot, he would not have the shooting percentage Kobe had.

I will give Lebron credit for, in general, trying to get the highest quality shot available. Kobe didn't care about shot quality, in general. He just needed to be able to get a glimpse of the rim, and in his mind, that was good enough.

Impossible to compare the two. Played nothing alike.

At the end of the day, tho - Kobe got a lot of great results his way, too.

Kobe was in his 3rd year in 99, and wasnt struggling at all :what: He was putting up 19 a game as a 20 year old 2nd option, how was he a non factor?:what:

Are you forgetting who Tim Duncan is? :what: David Robinson:what: Now the Spurs weren't a good team back then:what:

and the Spurs won in 03, before Shaq left so wtf is your point :what:

Those teams were garbage...and everybody knows it...besides stuck in the 90s dudes...

They had zero chance of winning...

And my point is...

An all-time great player only is great because everybody else sucks...

Everybody else in the NBA was garbage...when MJ was on his run...

This generation of players are actually facing some comp...facing superteams and shyt. MJ was on a superteam and facing trash night in and night out for most of his career when he was winning.

Michael Jordan wasn't going against no all time greats at his position...he wasn't even going against All NBA Players. He was facing straight trash.

At least Lebron James went against Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard fukking twice. Then to even get out the East he went against Paul George twice. Kawhi and Durant are Top 5 players legitimately.

Motherfukkers really wanna point out Clyde Drexler who is like the equivalent of a Demar Derozan....He was ass against MJ...

Nobody in this thread...has of yet...brought up any swingman that was a threat to Michael Jordan....

Old ass MVP Karl Malone...Karl Malone that gotta be spoonfed the ball like a toddler and wasn't shyt in the playoffs compared to the regular season...

He's like Amare but Amare shows up in the playoffs...

Only real threat to MJ throughout his career was Charles Barkley. The only Top 5 player he consistently faced and Charles was surrounded by garbage.

MJ even left the league dodged Shaq and Penny's run...

So I don't wanna hear shyt about Michael Jordan and the competition he faced when it was pathetic when compared to Lebron...

MJ wasn't even facing players out East that weren't even near the same height as him.

I mean Craig fukking Elho and John Starks....:mjlol:

Hersey Hawkins could get buckets though....but man was 6'3 180 bruh...:lolbron:

Dodged Shaq and Penny's run ? You mean the same Shaq and Penny he swept ...oh

Malone averaged 25 and 10, 97 24 and 10 ...thats ass ? oh....

Kawhi wasn't some all world talent when they won the chip, He showed promise but he wasn't all star level he just had a good series ....heh.. nobody was talking about Leonard as an MVP candidate for that series...but Lebrons flabby defense changed all that huh ?

Jordan's road to finals was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY tougher the fact that you can even argue this is insane to me.

It is the weakest ever...second to the 70s...

Who was Michael Jordan going against when was winning? He got his ass kicked until everybody got old...


Bird, Bad Boy Pistons got old and MJ took ever in the East...

Who Michael Jordan was actually going against out in the East when he was winning...a bunch of nobodies...Charles Barkley was probably the only top 5 player Michael Jordan consistently went against...and that's when Charles was playing with Philly with total trash...and the he met Charles in 93...

Then he went against a bunch of nobodies in the Finals...old ass Karl Malone...old ass Magic Johnson...weak ass Portland...

Only real comp he probably played against in the Finals was Suns and Seattle

Then people are like..."He's the greatest...he won 6 times out of 6..." ignoring him getting his ass handed to him until Scottie Pippen came around...

This man was favored to win 99 percent of the time with Scottie...and he did...

Lebron only been favored to win 2 times in his career when he went to the Finals...

All the other times he was facing teams that were equal or better than his...
While I don't disagree with your LeBron take: This long ass article breaks down Jordan's run.

Lebron tried to form a 70 win super team to eliminate any threat of competition but failed.

So all that crying about facing the warriors is meaningless.

"Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7...the way we're gonna go at each other, the games are going to be easy."

But Bron stans, like bron, dont realize that you can't fabricate greatness. We see that every June.

Classic Niccas
his logic is that he prefers kobe & MJ's mentality. this is usually what it boils down to when a player votes in kobe's favor in these forced kobe/bron debates. dude even made it seem like LeBron being self-less is a bad thing.

I almost stopped listening when he repeatedly said Jordan played in the toughest era.
lol. why do yall put so much stock in these player quotes?

Bron stans on a high right now but they’re gonna get that yearly June reality check

The funny thing is we go through this every year. This is typically PEAK LeBron season. Bron does his usual beating up on weak opponents in the East. The media starts the is he better than Jordan calls. The stans get into a frenzy.

Then LeBron has his annual collapse in the Finals. Then all this talk of him being better than Jordan or Kobe dies.

We go through this same song and dance EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME.
