I think lots of people don't really get how huge Jordan's impact was on the game. It's not really something you can get from Youtube clips showing games that happened before you were old enough to know what was going on. Teams based their entire strategy around keeping Jordan away from the ball and/or the hoop. A surprising number of people don't even know what the "Jordan Rules" were. For some odd reason, they believe it refers to special treatment for Jordan. It did...just not in the way they think. It was the Piston's strategy revolving around doing everything possible to shut Jordan down, from double and triple-teaming him, to hitting him with the most physical play they could (or couldn't, if they were getting desperate) get away with in an attempt to knock him off his game. It's just not the same with James. Teams respect the hell out of him, but they don't fear him like they feared Jordan.

typical naive people only caught up in the now

Cavs swept a terrible Hawks team who was hampered and here comes all the goat talk..

Lol at the Lebron has more finals appearances at this stage stat.. Considering he's been in the league longer.. Jordan came in after his junior year of college. All that goes to show is LeBron is not the same competitor.

LeBron is great but I can't see him winning as many in a row as Jordan.. Who also took a hiatus from the game only to come right back and win more.

Is this really a 13 page thread on whether it is more impressive to make 5 finals in a row or win all 6 that you appear in?

No but he did win six with one team in an era of a far more competitive eastern conference!

MJ bet on 5 finals in a row. I don't know it won money or lost money on those 5 bets, but I know he was suspended for it.

Did Jordan ever lose in a final?
Did Jordan ever not get finals MVP?
Does Jordan hold the record for all time playoff scoring?
Does Jordan have one more MVP than Lebron?
Does Jordan have 9 more scoring titles?
Did Lebron play for a team who retired Jordan's number?
Did Lebron ever grow a pair and win a dunk contest?
Was Jordan ever going to " be the next Jordan? "

Not sure if all really happened or if should disregard and take MSB advice and praise LeGoat.
