MJ: 3 titles, 3 MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs

Bron: 3 titles, 4 MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs


Just a simple thought, let us discuss it.

Jordan: way more exits before the finals but losing prior to the finals is better than losing in the finals. Solid logic

I think LeBron has played 567 games in the last 6 years. I don't know how much longer he can play the way he does at the level he does, but I don't see him being as effective as Jordan was past 31.

Stop it. LeBron is my guy, but can we stop with Jordan comparisons.

Lebron is an old 31. He's played an incredible number of games between regular season, playoffs, and international. He's played nearly as many games already as Jordan did in his entire career.

I hope LeBron gets to 6 so that the finals losses support his case versus Jordan. Only in MSB world is a first round loss greater than a finals loss.

The East was not a cake walk in the late 80s - early 90s. He had to get through the Celtics and Pistons, not the Raptors and Hawks.

What's the math on number of seasons in the NBA each of them played by age 31?

I didn't intend to downvote that.

Let's say, hypothetically speaking, LeBron gets to 6 titles in 10 finals appearances. 6-4 in the finals is more impressive than 6-0 with a bunch of early exits

3-4 > 3-0

When discussing Finals records it really isn't debatable.

Does it really matter how many seasons? Jordan getting a few earlier seasons wouldn't matter in the slightest.
