Win Finals, obviously.

6 of 6 = G.O.A.T.

LeBron is the best on the planet now: but not that close to MJ. Which says how good MJ was, because nobody really fukks with LeBron in today’s NBA as far as all round skill, scoring and deciding games.

MJ was the best at scoring, defending and leading the team.

LeBron is an amazing player but I don’t see him as the same leader type as MJ (not as effective). He may lead by example but he points fingers after every bad play and treats every player like a rookie (made Kyrie leave). Makes certain players smaller. But then he buys them all suits and jokes with them and does dances before games and handshakes.

MJ was always, all business. He was clearly the leader and demanding, but not in a point fingers during the game way. He set a culture of winning and that got followed. That JR Smith shyt would not happen with MJ, but JR sees LeBron like a friend, not the pure leader and he too needs to play at an elite level.

LeBron is the leader because his talent and hard work are untouched, but he is either too nice OR too cranky. His leadership style needs to be about clearly communicating what the goals are and that he sets the standard and that they need to follow this..

LeBron is so much better than his team mates that him being too nice makes players think they can relax and him being super upset during games makes them think it’s either all good OR that they can’t do anything right anyway.

Jordan is going to get the win - simple as that. Don't actually need a million excuses for him
Team sports doesn’t work that way. I just pointed out a game 7 the bulls lost where mike played great. Another example being game 2 at Boston in 1986. Then there’s big playoff games they won while he was going 3-18 and 5-19 from the field. We’ve seen Lebron’s team lose when he posted a 49/6/8/2/3 on 20-30 shooting, lose by 10+ while he puts up 51/8/8 on 60% shooting, but then clinched the conference in a game where he went 3-11 as well. Best team wins, sometimes regardless how an individual plays. Miami lost in 5 to Boston in 2010 while Wade averaged 33 on 56% shooting, but Los Angeles beat them in 7 while Kobe averaged 28 on 40% shooting with as many turnovers as assists including a 6-24 with 2 assists to 4 turnovers in game 7. Would you actually try to argue that Kobe played better since the lakers won while the heat lost? I’d certainly hope not. At least make the effort to break down how someone played.

Ok he added Scottie.. Are u gonna sit here and argue like it wasn't MJ dominating the league? He hit is prime and couldn't be beat. And it was him closing out games and making sure they won. But u kno that already

Is that why he was 1-9 in playoff series before Scotty?

My argument is when Jordan hit his prime - he couldn't be beat. Its as simple as that. I don't care what Lebron numbers are. Nobody fears him. His fans hope he wins - Jordan fans knew he was gonna win

You get to caught up in the actual stats. Theirs impact outside the stat sheet. This is exactly why Tim Duncan gets slept on. Sometimes just having that guy on your side - elevates others. Those type of players make franchises - championship claiber for yrs. It's hard to explain. But when the unit believes in the leader - they have every intention on getting the job done

This has got to be one of the most retarded talking points in the last 10 years :russ:

Pippen average like 7 ppg the first series Jordan won
So it's my fault he was getting put out against Sydney Moncrief and 5 starting cac Boston teams .:skip:

Go watch your Gators get the beats from D2 squads :skip:

Bron is easily better when you account for teammates/Coaching

Lebron doesnt want to be coached in a system. He wants to pound the ball at the top of the key and score or get assists. While also having a second tier player who he hands the ball off to and goes to the corner to stand around. His best and only times of playing in a system was in Miami and he tried to get the coach fired (ironically for possibly coaching him)...

Bron has never had a great coach. What has Spo done since Bron left? Blatt?, Lue?, Brown? Nothing.
