Real classic on this board that we can't have nuanced discussions on MJ's titles, but when it comes to LeBron titles, you can have as much devaluing discussion as possible.

Because Jordan didn't need more than six games to win any of his Finals series, and had an average PPG differential of +7.8 in his career in the Finals.

Lebron won two of his three series in 7 games, both times with the other team blowing multiple chances to close the series, and has a career PPG differential of -9.8 PPG in the Finals.

Lebron loses a lot and gets blown out a lot in the Finals.

Dude again with the title amount, just crown Kareem or Bill as the GOAT because they've won 6+ and Kareem won 6 league MVPs and is the all-time NBA leading scorer. 10 of his 20 seasons Kareem participated in the NBA Finals. 12 of Bill Russell's 13 seasons, he participated in the NBA Finals. LeBron's been to more NBA Finals than Michael Jordan ever participated in and, barring 2011, performed incredibly well in those title series, let the title amount go it's like saying Joe Montana's better than Tom Brady because he's 4-0 vs 5-2 whereas Tom Brady led his team to the Super Bowl more. We're gonna value losing in conference playoffs more than advancing to the Finals, makes zero logical sense. Also, MJ didn't play the bulk of his career during the salary cap/free agency era so he maintained that core Bulls team longer and dynasties were easier to achieve.
