Mike's dominance was visceral, LeBron's analytical. Jordan believed he needed himself; LeBron seeks all possible help. Apples and oranges when comparing their paths to greatness. #NBA #MichaelJordan #LeBronJames

@TheRealJHair I never realized that “greatness” could include 6 Finals Losses (6-24 record). I guess participation trophies really do count.

Ric you are a student of the game, but you were not totally honest. The NBA change the rules, style of play for Jordan for him to get past the Pistons. The Bulls drafted and acquired key FAs to get them over the hump. Oh btw they had 1 of the 3 greatest coaches of all time to lead them. LeBron changed the systems for player movement. Why the double standards for LeBron vs Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Durant and Kawaii? All of those players weren’t drafted originally by their championship team. Owners movement vs player movement. Barclay, Moses and KG were all traded to form championship teams, but we criticized LBJ for going to Miami. Karl Malone wished someone else would come to Utah, didn’t happen. Cleveland is no different. Don’t forget Shaq and Penny put L on Jordan and gang in his prime, no excuses. LeBron never had a coach of Phil or Pop caliber.

Oh bullshit.

Jordan didn't play long enough to take a backseat to anyone. And the talent level in the league when Jordan was winning championships doesn't compare to modern NBA talent.

Yall don’t get tired of talking about the same thing every single day?

“In the times that he won, it was debatable that he should be the driving force of the team.” You’re such a hack.

There is no debate! How can you call yourself the goat and lead the nba in scoring only once in 20+ seasons while having a 4-6 finals record. Bron still forming super teams. MJ lead the nba in scoring 10x and was 6-0 in the finals and had only Pippen.

LeBron went to a 5th seeded Heat. Lottery CAVs and the Lakers who had the worst record the previous 7 years. 8 straight Finals then the Lakers. Scottie Pippen signed a dirt cheap contract and MJ never won without him nor took the Bulls to the Finals You’re a 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Also Jorfrua by himself 0-12 worst loss record to Larry Bird and Celtics 0-3 and 0-3 only GOAT candidate to have 1st round sweep. 0 playoff series wins without Pippen

You’re scared of LeBron. Ric you sound like a $ick

Look at this pussy begging for attention again

Please stop!!! Why didn't he win without Pipen if he only needed himself? Basket ball is a team sports!

Bronsexuals will scream about the differences between what KD did vs what Bron did when it comes to joining up, but completely play dumb about the differences between how MJ won vs how Bron won titles 😂

This bitch has spent 20+ years treating the NBA like MyGM with the salary cap turned OFF. Now it’s Embiid, Maxey, Jaylen Brown & VJ and when Philly gets bounced, the Bronsexuals will blame EVERY motherfucker except LeBron...The Stat-Pad Kang doesn’t take L’s—he collects EXCUSES.

Everyone needs help. It’s a team game. Thinking LeBron always needed help when Jordan had himself is bizarre. He had the best Robin a Batman could have in Pippen, had the greatest coach of all time in Jackson, the greatest Assistant Coach of all time in Tex Winter, then in the second run had Kukoc, Rodman and Parish. Can also state LeBron got to a finals with one of the weakest rosters in finals history with the Cavs. They were both incredible, numbers 1 and 2 in whatever order you want. Making it tribal is fucking weird

Well said, another way of putting it: Lebron tried to reverse engineer the GOAT title, like when you had math homework, looked up the answer in the back and then tried to figure out how to get to it. Lebron used Jordans resume as the GOAT answer, and his whole career, him and his team have been working to match or surpass that resume, and when they couldn't they've tried to change the definition that they themselves created. Totally ignoring a lot of MJ's greatness was how he did it, just as much as what he did. MJ never once in his career claimed to be the GOAT, what he was had was absolute belief in himself, that if he did the work, and everything he was supposed to, no one could beat him. And if someone did beat him, there was something he had to do to get better.

The most helped superstar with other stars in history. The most dependent. Fleeing, joining up with cakewalk stacked teams over and over and over again. That is not a goat legacy. That’s a tainted and limited, desperate, coattail legacy.

Why would Mj need to seek help when he had the goat coach, 1 of the best players in the league in Pippen and 1 of the greatest defenders/rebounders in the history of the sport in Rodman? Plus the league was weaker than ever. Bron is just a much better player, I know it hurts.

Always said that Lebron s first 7 years was his best and pure basketball. No blame games no bullshit just playing basketball but he just didnt wanna go further. Had Lebron stayed and won 2 or 3 there would have definitely been less doubters on his success.

Man is breaking it down like a journalist is supposed to. Giving his take on it and not crying. He's stating facts and things that have happened

If what you think is true why did he quit when they didnt bring Phil Jackson back

Winning…. All winning is visceral. Winning is in your face for all to see. Like a fact of life. The rest is just bravado and bluster.

It’s not close. Jordan clears my miles

So basically MJ's greatness was far better than LeBron's, which we already knew. Groundbreaking take lol.

What TF is this dude talking about😂

😑

same tired ass discourse do you follow the current state of the league?

Win his 5th NBA Championship minimum and By Any Means Necessary. That was LeBron James's motivation for leaving the Lakers. Criticize if you must.

Michael Jordan is the only player in NBA history to win the regular season MVP, Scoring Title, 1st Team All-Defensive selection, NBA Championship, and Finals MVP in the same season, accomplishing this feat four times. End of the discussion.

Shut up you don’t know shit fake ass Richie Cunningham yellow teeth ass stooge

Jerry krause. He put the pieces for MJ. Mj does something great? Black Jesus! LBJ does something great? But it was Covid ring, Ray saved him, Kyrie saved him, okc was too young. Loses? Ha! Lacks 'clutch gene'! Boring narrative

lmao can't wait for you jordansexuals to pass, we want basketball back to normal, you jordansexuals are the worst thing to happen to the 1-9 bitch
