Correct.
Then why did they lose with all those advantages then?

Despite that Ray Allen and Kyrie Irving saved LeBron's legacy in two Finals
John Paxson and Steve Kerr both hit as many Finals series clinching shots for the Bulls as MJ did.
The selective logic always blows me away. When Kerr or Paxson hits the shot, you don't think it's bailing MJ out. When Allen or Kyrie hit the shot...
I never understand why it's so hard to say that LeBron and MJ are both incredible and it's a close debate as to who's best.

They are both incredible but it is not really close. Lebron more likely to drop than he is to move up on the all time rankings.

Literally everything you say favors Lebron.

I'm comfortable being on the opposite side of a debate as you.

But they won 66 games and secured HC advantage and the no. 1 overall seed that season, I thought LeBron had that killer instinct you keep talking about

quote:Nah, the “killer instinct” thing is a Jordan stan talking point that I use against them since Lebron had a killer instinct by 22, while Jordan openly admits today that he didn’t have a killer instinct until he was 26. Furthermore, Lebron has two kills (2013 Spurs, 2016 Warriors) that are bigger than anything Jordan ever faced, much less killed. Add to that that Lebron has much more of a competitive fire than Jordan, which can be seen plainly when you consider that Lebron never retired for seasons on end multiple times and has been more consistently available to his team than Jordan was in his active years.

Yeah that competitive fire was totally on display in the Mavs Finals and last year's Finals game 1 OT when he shut down and didn't score a point

Lebron was 25 when that happened btw. Jordan had one playoff series win at that age. Killer instinct. Competitive spirit.

On a stacked superteam, HC advantage for the series, and Finals favorites with LeBron submitting a great regular season and playoff performance to that point in time

Averaged 45-5-5 on 56% FG that series too

Both occurred in game 6's with the Bulls possessing 3-2 series leads, wasn't do or die facing elimination like Kyrie and Ray Allen

They'd still play a game 7 if they didn't, you think a killer like MJ's gonna lose a game 7? LOLOL

I mean LeBron did squander the 2013 game 6 comeback he led with his late quarter turnovers that placed the Heatles in that predicament. As far as Kyrie is concerned, just further establishes how he was the closer of that team like he is generally.

Ok my bad, let’s go back to when they were 22.
Lebron: Finals
Jordan: no playoffs

I actively rooted against the Bulls as a kid...
...and I still liked Jordan.
I don’t remember anyone in the 90s ever saying Jordan was a douche or a bitch or anything of the sort.
People were in awe of him...respecting him even when you hoped the Bulls didn’t win.

quote:They were down by 12 with 10 seconds left in the third, then Lebron scored 15 points and assisted on 6 more until his first turnover in the 4th (offensive file with 3:18 remaining) as they were down by 3. And while he has 2 more turnovers in the last couple minutes, he made a crucial 3 with 20 seconds remaining to get it back within 1 possession.
I mean LeBron did squander the 2013 game 6 comeback he led with his late quarter turnovers that placed the Heatles in that predicament.
So in the last 12 minutes and 10 seconds of regulation, LeBron scored 18 points, shooting 63.6% from the field (68.2% EFG%), 75% from the line, with a TS% of 70.5%, had 2 assists that contributed to 6 more points, accounting for 75% of the 32 points scored, plus a couple rebounds, and the team overcame a 12 point deficit. And while he has 3 turnovers, that doesn’t negate the rest of that at all.
