How many times did Jordan lose in the Finals?
Lebron?
Lebron took teams to the Finals that had no business being there (the first Cavs team as an example), it was him and 4 scrubs.
In a lot of ways just making the Finals w/those teams is just as big an accomplishment.

I'm approaching 50. Lebron James is the best basketball player I have seen, as in, he can do more things on the court better than anyone else. Now, if someone wants to say Jordan is more of a winner, or some other subjective ranking, then have at it. I'll stay out of that argument.

My biggest gripe with the MJ supporters is that their only argument is “6 Rings!” If all you care about is rings Bill Russel is the GOAT. They ignore the fact that Lebron blows MJ out of the water in just about every other category. Statistically it’s not even close, analytically it’s not even close. Lebron is the only player in history to be listed at all 5 positions, while being able to guard all 5 positions. People forget that Jordan had no team accomplishments, before Scottie Pippen arrived, along with the best Basketball coach of all time. Lebron has taken steaming piles of shite to the Finals.

Michael Jordan is the best. LJ is definitely top 8 though
Top 8 only? You can not like the guy but you have to admit his greatness on the court. He’s at worst 3rd greatest ever. In reality he’s #2. Has a better argument for that spot than anyone else.
I’m as big a hater of LeBaby as anyone but I won’t lie to myself about his ability on the court.

I mean Magic did it too. He even did it his rookie year and won the Finals.

Well then LeBron is GOAT participation trophy winner

Giannis was a zygote when Jordan was in his prime.

I like Lebron, probably should have said top 5

Giannis was born in 1994.

There’s so much wrong with this If you said, MJ didn’t accomplish much before Scottie arrived, that would be more accurate. “Wasn’t shite”, is ridiculous, though.

I should have worded it differently. No team accomplishments before Pippen arrived, and team accomplishments are the biggest arguments MJ pumpers have for him over Lebron.

Coach Knight said he was the greatest basketball player of all team when he was STILL IN COLLEGE and Larry bird told his teammate in 85, Jordan’s rookie season, that he was gonna be the best of all time.

Giannis is too young to remember MJ. He's younger than me and I only remember MJ on the Wizards.

Anyone using this as a legit argument is telling on themselves. Jordan is better because he lost in the first round instead of the finals? Ok lol
Posted on 10/27/23 at 10:32 am to lsuguy84
I wasn’t Able to remember Jordan playing but from watching past games the way he plays just seems more dominate than Lebron. I would rank them as Jordan #1 and Lebron #2 now anybody saying that Lebron isn’t #2 is just hating on him for his politics. Which is understandable, but I try not to let that muddy the waters
Posted on 10/27/23 at 10:35 am to Bench McElroy
Well of course he did

It’s a crime we didn’t ever get to see a Kobe - Lebron Finals
Posted on 10/27/23 at 10:49 am to Bench McElroy
Watching Durant own LeBron in the finals was a sight to see

Imagine having to add Kevin Durant to an already legendary lineup because LeBron brings his team back from a 3-1 deficit the previous year.
