Today was a goat like performance in a loss. No matter how this series goes down I'd hold back on the shade. He's obviously outgunned.

I'm not shading him. I'm calling it how I see it. Since this is the goat thread he still hasn't come close to Jordan's accomplishments.

The knock on his teammates is overblown. They aren't great but they aren't terrible.

Let's see how he bounces back from an L.

JR smith needs to b in the confersation.
at the end of the day JR has ben to 4 strait finals. he lead the cavs to a comback from 3-1 agenst the 73 win warriors. this is jr smiths team and lebrun is just her for the ride. lebrun is to weak on defense and canot be a play mker when needed, and jr smith still carried the team with that bum with him to 4 strait finals.

if JR smith plays well enough for the calves too win this series, he goes down as the goat in my opinion.

IMO the there is no debate to begin with, but if LeBron drops 3 of 4 Finals' to the Warriors, he has no business being in a GOAT conversation. He will also have fallen to 3-6 in the Finals, which is pure mediocrity in the realm of greats in their career defining moments.

I believe MJ is the GOAT. However, in no way should Lebron's legacy as a player be diminished if he loses 3 of 4 to the Warriors. Hell, beating them once, especially a team that went 73-9, is a hell of an accomplishment. I just have never been one that measures a GOAT by the number of titles a player has one. I think Willie Mays is the GOAT in baseball and he only won 1 World Series championship.

If you can't count the losses to the Warriors as diminishing then you can't ignore the disappearing act against both Dallas and San Antonio

Steve Kerr probably was born too late and didn't get to watch Jordan in his prime. Obvi.

This. Plus, he doesn't understand basketball.

As if Kerr is going to say "Meh, ive seen better." What is he supposed to say in this situation?

Losing to the best team of all time this year doesn't hurt his legacy IMO.

Beating this team could put him ahead of Jordan in many peoples eyes .
