Micheal Jordan ESPN conversation after MNF

Who's ready to listen to MJ subtedly, or not so subtedly hit on some of the following points
- NBA was better when he played
- He would never have gone the Lebron way/team up with others
- Kobe>Lebron
The dude is the GOAT. But you can sense his insecurities. He was the ultimate competitor. He hates to lose. Deep down, he knows Lebron is the only one right now with a realistic shot at surpassing him for GOAT status and you best believe he'll take his shots when he can.

How subtedly do you think he will be?

Such a shitty thread

So many haters. It's weird.

He should talk about owning a team and the success that follows

Michael is not insecure. The Olde English at 6:00 am every morning is just finally catching up with his GOAT arse.

There isn't a single drop of insecurity in Michael Jordan's whole body.

Cliffnotes on what actually happened?

Lebron can never surpass Jordan IMO, for several reasons.
First, Lebron left Cleveland to join an all-star cast in order to win a title...and still failed in their first go 'round against an inferior ragtag bunch from Dallas.
Second, Jordan played in an era where defenders were allowed to maul players around the basket. The Jordan rules used by the Pistons would make Lebron's arse quit like a bitch, and the defenders employing it would get ejected in today's game. Jordan's points where MUCH tougher to earn game in and game out.
Finally, Jordan was just flat out tougher. Lebron, for all his skill, has a lot of bitch in him. He has gotten better at suppressing it, but it still rises up when adversity hits every now and then.
Lebron has more raw talent, but he'll never be MJ.

Eh, I think either player would have adapted to the rules of the day. LeBron would have fared far better than most give him credit for in the bad boy era with that frame of his.

Lebron is never surpassing Jordan. Only someone who was too young to watch Jordan in his prime would say that. Anyone old enough to have seen Jordan knows the truth.

Jordan would have had a couple years of averaging 40+ PPG if he had played by today's rules IMO. In the late-80s/early-90s, you either tackled him in the paint or he scored. He was a whole other level of unstoppable in his prime than anything we've seen outside of Wilt (who was a big man decades ahead of his time playing against guys 4-6 inches shorter than him every single game).
In today's "breath on a guy and he gets the call" league, Jordan would have one layup or dunk after another spread out between 18-20 FTs a game.

Oh, spare me your hyperbole. I'm not a LeBron fan, nor a Jordan hater. And yes, I watched Jordan play. Players grow up to be successful in the era in which they compete, and the elite find ways to extract every advantage out of the game they possibly can.
If you suggest that LeBron would play the exact style he does in today's NBA, that's the height of disingenuity.
Also, for the record, I don't give a frick who "surpasses" who in these subjective exercises.

Klarvin gets it. You're an idiot.

Dude holds the title of GOAT NBA player but he's also up there for GOAT shitty human being. His insecurity has definitely grown in recent years and it's showing, even though it will take a legendary run by LeBron to surpass him

Sounds like many guys who get paraded to the line today, tbh. Westbrook comes to mind.
NO, I'm not saying Westbrook=Jordan

on the contrary his insecurities were what drove to the levels he reached.

Yup. His insecurities weren't necessarily a detriment on the court. Channeled those like no other into production
