Re: Jordan as the GOAT- how much does his brand/mythology factor in conversation?

For the record, I do think Jordan is the goat and lebron is number 2.
However, I wonder how much his mystique/branding factor into the convo. I.e the Jordan logo, the shoes, the tongue, and him basically being the most iconic American athlete ever. He basically created the entire "sneakerhead" culture and paved the way for the mass marketing of athletes.

The majority.

Jordan never lost a game. How could anyone else be #1?
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:29 pm to 632627
I don't know.
I think, however, that the entire OT can agree on the fact that behind Jorda and Lebron, Renaldo Balkman is the clear #3.

Not all the records and six championships in six straight full seasons?

A shite ton.
Jordan the player and LeBron the player are very, very close. The people that think LeBron isn't even in the conversation are heavily swayed by the mystique of Jordan. Both his impact on the game of basketball and his impact on society are a huge reason he's considered so untouchable by so many.

Nice qualifier.
Everyone knows that Jordan won the finals every year that he was in the league.
It's insane that Jordan is 4th in career points, while only playing 6 NBA seasons, think about how crazy that feat is.

Because six championships in seven seasons is chopped liver.
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:41 pm to mattz1122
Wait, I thought he only played in 6 seasons? What else is this 6-0 that I see everyone talking about? He played 6 NBA seasons and won the finals every season, right?
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:42 pm to Epic Cajun
Wtf are you babbling about
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:42 pm to Epic Cajun
Dude, he won when it mattered. Nothing except the finals matters.

Oh, I see. We're somehow trying to diminish a 6-0 finals record in 8 years.
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:44 pm to mattz1122
I keep seeing Jordan 6-0, which I'm assuming means that he only played 6 seasons and he won the finals all six seasons. Am I interpreting that wrong?
Posted on 5/26/17 at 9:45 pm to mattz1122
So, he played in 8 seasons? Shouldn't it be 6-2 then?

6-0 is great.
Why did he fail to get to the finals so much though?
Do his losses before the Finals not count?
