"We lie about what Michael Jordan did and didn't do"

[Jplaya2023]

dudes on here seem to think losing in the finals is a huge L. so by that logic, isnt losing in the playoffs an L too

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

 

[dem bath salts]

i honestly think nikkas trying to do some inception type shyt. Say MJ's greatness is a myth enough times and people will start to believe it.

I been watching MJ since 89 on WGN and aint shyt mythological about the GOAT.He was that good, he had those moments and once he hit his prime, he was unfukkwitable.
Bron my dude and its top 5 but cnon nikkas.Mike that nikka

Why do we act like Jordan wasn't getting destroyed year after year in the first round and not even making it to the finals in his early 20's?

lol no shame losing as an 8th seed to the one of the best teams ever in boston in multiple seasons and the pistons in the conference finals later.

 

[Schmoove]

it's a point of comparison. If you never lost on the biggest stage it goes a long way.

Yeah kerr hit the shot in 97, guess who got doubled and it left kerr wide open

There you go @Raul

Also, lets not act like Mike was allergic to taking the last shot in important games like LeDefer does...

me personally i told people (mostly parents) that he used to lure children into his garage by spinning a basketball on his finger....

in retrospect i shouldn't have done that. Im sorry.

I don't agree with that view.

And the people who hold that view never apply it to anyone else.
JPlaya said Lebron could rank anywhere in the Top 5...just not 1st because he lost in the Finals.

But there are players in the Top 5 or Top 10 who lost in the Finals LESS than Lebron James. So by that argument Lebron would rank BELOW them.
Yet you guys don't seem to care about Finals record when comparing Lebron to THOSE players.

WHERE is the shame in losing to the goat power foward and coach twice (once at only 22)

And then to an all time great team with 2 of your all star teammates missing with injuries?

Only finals loss on LeBron is the Mavs.

again no one blames lebron for the 07 and 15 finals i know i don't

however i can never get over the 11 finals and the 14 finals lebron had 4 or 5 good quarters

All you need to realize is that trying to figure out what to blame lebron on in terms of finals losses, you don't even need to consider with mj. And everyone knows mj was the ultra alpha on all 6 finals.

You got lebron complaining about playing too many games and sitting out yet he wanna be the goat? Cmon breh

 

[CrimsonTider]

i know one thing, Lebron doesn't get the referee calls Jordan got. Not even close.

You miss the part where Bron gets to travel and stiff arm his way to the paint every game?

MJ the reason i started to watch basketball and hes the reason I stopped. If that aint goat shyt then i dunno what is.

The 2011 finals says a lot bout bron. It's not just the losses, it's the way they lost too. Up 2-1, lose at home, only drop 8 points in a finals game, get posted up by jj barea n Kidd lol. Just laid down in defeat. I can respect peeps like Kobe cuz at least he fought every inch. Kobe tearing ligaments still goin while lebron get a cramp and act like he paralyzed bruh.

Even 2014 he just laid down at the end.

actually, it just means you're not a basketball fan. You're just a Michael Jordan fan.

Ehh u can say that. I did follow casually during kobe's prime as well though

MJ was the Galactus of the NBA.

No need to lie, he was that good.

galactus ain't the number one dude in marvel
