Jordan the GOAT but Bron is #2.

Bron would be #1 if he had just half MJ's heart. LeBron is the better overall player but Jordan was still better of shear willpower.

No debating that.

But here's the thing:

Every time someone brings up a Jordan comparison they talk about 6-0 in the Finals. Never been to a Game 7...and all that shyt.
But I don't believe that for a player to be considered greater than Jordan, that they need to go 7-0 in the Finals and never play more than 6 games. That's just a bullshyt standard to live up to.
In my view...

Jordan was flawless in the finals. Lebron had his flaws shown on various occasions. That's the difference here. The "mythology" of Jordan is the truth. 2 sets of 3 peats. Averaged 40 on 50% from the field. We may never see anything like Jordan again. When he got there he won at the highest level. When lebron got there even WITH Dwayne wade and Chris bosh. he still had some of flaws shown. Honestly the Dallas Mavs played a great series but if we are being honest bron should have 4 rings with his first being off the mavs even if Wade wins FMVP. Lebron is great, but he's top 3 or 5 depending on how you view some of the past bigs. He'll never past Jordan, no one will

we rather lose in the 1st round or not make the playoffs than lose in the finals

had lebron lost to the pistons in 07 and lost to the bulls in 11 he wouldn't get a lot of the flack he receives today

I remember Lebron saying something on the lines of "I rather not make the playoffs if I'm going to lose in the finals" after he lost to golden state warriors. This is when he had that goofy ass cowboy hat I think
