This is bullshiit. He lost confidence in management mid series with his team holding a 2-1 lead?

Its definitely not disrespectful to put Bron at two if you feel like MJ better. With that said Lebron is the GOAT tho.

It‘s not a barometer of how good you are overall, but if you have one player capable of scoring 40 on any given night vs three, it makes a difference how the opposing team defends you. Pippen has scored 40 or more 5 times in his career and has never scored 50.
They were the #1 seed two years in a row, and I remember the narrative after that loss to the Celtics was that he quit. I’m not saying he did, but that’s what EVERYONE was saying back then. No one was saying he didn’t have enough help during the season.

Being the number one seed two years in a row does not mean they had an upward trajectory .

No , jordan never played with a player who scored 40 in a finals game(Also hit the series winning shot)& jordan never had a finals series like 2011.he also never played with 5 perennial all stars & literally stopped 5 mvps/runner up mvps from winning a championship(magic,drexler,Malone twice & Barkley). That’s why he’s better than the “chosen one”
only thing lebron has on the goat is ped driven ‘longevity’

Oh, so what? That team still needed more and reach the ceiling with LeBron’s doing everything possible. Tell me about his teammates.

Lazy argument. And overstated.Ask kg who he'd rather face with everything on the line for one game
Lebron has won in those situations plenty of times.

They had a 2-1 lead, they won 60 games. How is any of this possible if his teammates were so shyttty? LeBron did it all by himself but then like the 90th game in the season he decided it was just too much and quit. You nikkas are simpletons

Team accomplishments? What?

The ring argument is stale because you’re comparing a team accomplishment with individual greatness.
Russell had more rings than Wilt, but nobody in their right mind would think Russell was individually better. Russell played on a great team and played team basketball.
As for Lebron vs MJ, rings aside, Lebron is going to finish with over 40,000 points 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists. It’s safe to say his points records is going to stand when I’m dead and gone.
Both played in different eras against different completion. The skill set today is not the same as it was when MJ played.
Beyond that everything else people say is hypothetical.

Lebron has recently come out and said that he wouldn’t have as many rings if he did not join a superteam, well that nikka joined 2. His whole career is sus.

MJ accomplished more in wayyy less seasons. Far more impressive. This argument isn’t really close at all.Has there ever been a team that had the #1 seed and 60+ wins in back to back seasons, yet failed to make it to the Finals?Being the number one seed two years in a row does not mean they had an upward trajectory .
