When all is said and done the NBA GOAT is..........

Jordan has said he feels Russell is the GOAT since he won 9 titles in 11 years. It's about the rings to him and Lebron's 3-5 Finals record is probably not lost on him even if he won't publicly say it.

Who were these plumbers you keep bringing up?

I watched basketball when Jordan played. Did you?

Holy s**t, you guys can't tell he was messing around? You think that he was serious with that quote?

I guess I should have figured he was messing aroung when he said Lebron > Jordan, lol, my bad.

Jordan is > then LBJ. But LBJ is getting close so not illogical to have that take

You should have figured that he was messing around by reading the quote, lol, yes your bad. Bad basketball takes

Mike dominated an era when teams could essentially beat up your best player.

Let's not forget that Jordan got A LOT of calls when driving in the paint
He didn't have it easy like the stars today who get phantom calls on pull-up 3 pointers. Go watch the Bulls-Pistons playoff series in 89-90 on youtube and you'll see how much teams got away with in the paint on MJ.

I'm not buying that argument against lebron. Lebron doesn't get the calls today that so many other players do because of how much of a physical freak he is. Shaq was the same way.

Not sure how it's debatable. Once breaking the glass ceiling both of had 8 years now. MJ won 4 MVP's in those years and 6 titles while sitting out a year and a half. LeBron has won 2 MVP's in his last 8 years maybe 3 this year and while he's gotten to the championship series every year he's only won 3 times maybe 4 this year.

Doesn't matter how you break down MJ wins.

His natural build is an enormous blessing. Being able to dominate using his size far outweighs any disadvantage from foul calls.

What Lebron did this last playoff series is something idt I've ever seen before. Straight up carried a team to win down so much in the series. If hes not the goat he's pretty damn close.
