I’ve never said LeBron is better than Jordan, but using appearances as a knock is dumb.

Jordan averaged something like 42/8/7/3 in the 1993 Finals. And, you know, actually won the series.

So yeah, he absolutely was.
Wizard MJ could do what Lebron is doing?

For fricks sake why do people say this dumb shite.

Replace the best player on any western conference playoff team with lebron and they are instantly the favorite to win the title. And you could do that for the last decade plus and it'd still be true.

Lebron is 33 years old. At age 33 Jordan was just starting his second three-peat and would average 30+ PPG in 7 playoff series after age 33.

By the time Jordan was with the Wizards he was almost 39.

It's true, and I'm a Warriors fan. Take off KD and add Lebron? Sign me up for that. Take off Curry and have Lebron, KD, Klay, Draymond, and Shaun Livingston? Let's gooooooo.

Could you imagine the dynasty the Clippers would have had if it were CP3, DeAndre and LeBron?

Or LeBron being coached by Pop?

Lebron has played more minutes than MJ did.

Why would you be the judge of anything?

Your eye test has Harden potentially passing Lebron as best player on earth this year

He did not beat the 73 win version of the warriors. We all know Lebron is great you don’t need to lie. the version of the warriors that he beat in g5-7 is not even a 60 win team.


... he says while constantly referring to the team Houston is currently playing as the goat warriors.

Yeah, Lebron came out of HS and MJ came out of North Carolina as a junior. This is how math works.

It’s a team game. Lebron went back to Cle to win a title for his “home” team and was successful. He is the GOAT. He is also 10x better of a peron than MJ who is just a douche.

MJ's college minutes are accounted for in this, guy.

It’s silly to argue against him being the GOAT at this point.

If you could go create the perfect basketball player in a lab it would be LeBron James.


The only way you can argue for Jordan over LBJ is either blind nostalgia or simple ignorance of the game of basketball.

Remember how the argument used to be how much more clutch Jordan was in big, back against the wall type games?

The gap is closing but no. MJ is still the king.
