  1. MJ 6 rings. LeBron 4 rings. LeBron turns 40 this year. Clock ticking. That said MJ point guard. Lebron small forward. Different positions. MJ is the GOAT. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ†

  2. Lolz Spurs 4-1 them with them having a super team
    Chris Bosh
    Dwayne wade
    Ray allen
    Lebron James
    And the rest of the cast if he was so dominant with the team that he has he would not lose in this fashion.
    Super team vs Dallas loses 4-2 in 2011
    2007 was the one you really could have said he needed help when Spurs 4-0 him
    But after going to Miami and all his other teams he has had super teams.. Super teams in addition to the dominance they really say he is he would win
    He could never be the goat in my eyes..
    What I see from LeBron is a consistent player.. who stack up stats.

  3. Die LeBron to really be the goat he had to win all chips while being in Miami.. I know this and that but beating Tim Duncan twice in the finals and beating dirk this would have made him the greatest but he didnโ€™t so he isnโ€™t. This longevity bs is like you telling me my Audi rs7 drives faster than a Ferrari just because its fuel allowed it to drive further.. sorry guys MJ is the GOAT. Mj never played to play long if he played after LeBron he would have smashed every stat.. LeBron tries to overcome MJ. MJ never played to be better than this or that guy.

  4. i hate stephen a but he's speaking facts. if the lakers beat denver they're winning the chip. denver is the best team in the nba and has the best player in jokic. bron winning his 5th championship in 11 finals (compared to mj's 6 finals appearance)against this amount of talent with a dysfunctional inconsistent team like he has right now just solidifies him as the goat. jordan never had to deal with this kinds of situations. he always had the best coach in phil jackson, the best defender and a great playmaker in pippen, and surrounded by shooters and even more defenders. he just needs to score 30 even if he shoots 40 shots at 30% fg shooting they'd still win. he also benefitted in an era where the competition is subpar. none of his finals competition compare to any of lebron's finals competition. he also benefitted with the illegal defense rule. with no double teams more than 3 seconds, with the absence of zone defense, he only needs to get past one plumber to get to the rim. that's why he didn't develop a 3 point shot, he can just easily drive to the rim. talent wise lebron is also better at all facets. he can play and defend positions 1-5 while jordan can't

  5. AD and Lebron ainโ€™t the problem itโ€™s the lakers role players and bench. Thatโ€™s the problem. I just canโ€™t see the lakers winning against the nuggs. Let alone getting to the finals and playing Boston.

  6. anyone who watches Lebronโ€ฆ.go watch Last Dance and then the convo stopsโ€ฆ.MJ is in a whole other stratosphereโ€ฆ.stop it and sit down

  7. That's why the NBA is washed up. Most people don't even watch the NBA no more only when the playoffs and championships come around. back in the '80s and '90s we used to run home to see Michael Jordan and the other great players play every night nobody running home to see LeBron James play๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

  8. Ok โ€“ letโ€™s talk about โ€œlegacyโ€โ€ฆ

    MJ โ€“ 6 chips, 6FMVP, 5MVP, DPOY, x10 scoring champ, x3 steals leader, x9 defensive 1st, x10 NBA 1st in less than 13 seasons.

    LBJ โ€“ 4chips, 4FMVP, 4MVP, x1scoring, x1 assist, x5 defensive 1st, x13 NBA 1st in OVER 21 seasonsโ€ฆ

    Itโ€™s not even closeโ€ฆ..the gap between MJ and LBJ is greater than Durantโ€™s career achievements! (Ie Durant : 2chips, 2FMVP, 1mvp, x6 scoring champ) Let that marinate in your head.

  9. 6 rings vs 4 rings
    6-0 vs 4-6 finals
    5 mvp vs 4 mvp
    10 scoring titles vs 1 scoring title
    1 dpoy vs 0 dpoy
    9 defensive all team vs 6 defensive all team

    lemickie need more than 1 more ring.

  10. you cant be the greatest n be 4-6 in the finals, jus stop talkin, hes great, thats itโ€ฆthey jus came out the play in, so now they gonna beat the defending champs, AND they gonna win the chip??! jus cut it out please jus stop

  11. why would a title now change your perception for the goat debate ?
    he is not the best player on the lakers, he wasnt the best player on the lakers back in 2020.
    his longevity is unprecedented, but his apex was nowhere near MJs.
