Did that graphic add a scoring title trophy? Didn’t that trophy just get added this year? So technically Jordan wouldn’t have any. I say that because if we’re gonna retroactively add shyt, Jordan gets 6 additional ones for ECF MVP. And Bron gets 9 more for ECF MVP and 1 more for WCF MVP, and an assist crown. Jordan’s still got more hardware, but it’s not as big as the graphic. And how do we account for All-NBA teams?
Don’t forget the 3x steals champ and the 2x dunk champ while we are “adding” trophies :sadbron:

I’m a LeBron fan, but he ain’t touching MJ.

He can try to talk being the GOAT into existence all he wants. He’ll never be what Jordan was.

Hanging out with Jay-Z got him using them Black Album tactics.

This season is his What More Can I Say moment.

The fact it ain't universally accepted LeBron the top dog the second he broke that record means he ain't the top dog. Sports/life is funny like that. It's never all about the numbers. It'd be easier if it was.

Jordan is simply too rooted in popular culture to not be the sport's defacto icon.

The more connections to something = the more memorable. That's scientific fact.

Jordan got that: shoes, brand, imagery, highlights, pictures, aesthetics, etc.

You hear brands/teams and keywords like "Bulls", "hangtime", etc. you think of Jordan.

Dude even broke the record while his kids were in attendance wearing Jordan's.

Jordan can even come out and say LeBron is the better player and it wouldn't change anything.

Low key a pointless debate really.
I agree Jordan is a verb for all sports. Such and such player is the Jordan of their sport

Jordan is basically Tupac or Ali status.
He transcends the sport.

its not only the play on the court that makes him the GOAT.
people just need to stop the comparisons because Bron just aint that dude like that.

People have a hard time grasping this. If the people en masse were to decide Lebron is the ultimate it would’ve happened

He just wasn’t the one to replace Michael Jordan in American society

This should have been a done deal. Bron had twenty years to convert the world

League was expanding when Detroit and LA were winning in the 80s (not just when Jordan was winning). Do your Googles. Acting like LeBron was beating world beaters in the Leastern Conference - that term was implemented during Bron's watch.


:pachaha:
I been saying this. Houston won titles during the expansion period too. Not just Jordan

Those teams were great prior to expansion. It really settled in the 90s
when expansion finally ended and more bad teams made up the league

Michael Jordan hasn't played in the nba in 20 years yet he's still the most famous basketball player in the world.

Jordan is having a film made about him signing to Nike with ben affleck, matt damon and viola davis in it :mjlit:

Your own GOAT doesn’t even believe in proclaiming anyone the GOAT.

That’s how stupid you all look with these tired ass debates.




THE POINT IS THAT THERES A TOP TIER AND MJ DOESNT HAVE BRON IN IT
