Michael Jordan never reached more than three consecutive Finals before stepping away from the game—twice. LeBron James, on the other hand, went to eight straight Finals and nine in a ten-season span. Bron is mentally tougher and it's not close.
LeBron is the greatest players to ever step on the court. However, throughout his career, he’s faced off against elite organizations and impeccably coached teams that have sometimes bested him. 2007 - not his fault 2011 - his fault 2014 - not his fault 2017-2018 - not his fault
We need to consider it this way: if we have always accepted the Olympic BB games as a legitimate competition, and the players live and compete in or near the Olympic Village, close to the Stadium, how is the bubble different? The key distinction lies in the presence of fans.
This is dumb talk. The people who rank Jordan #1 have never played against him. Should we call them idiots because we don't agree with how they ranked him? These are behind-the-scenes phone calls to pressure a media outlet to give Kobe a favorable ranking. FOH
Dwyane Wade says Kobe is a top 3 player of all time and goes off on Bleacher Report for ranking him 11th on their all-time list. “If you want to ask us hoopers who played against Kob, all of us are going to talk top three [of all time]” (@wynetwork )
LeBron James did this at just 21 years old in 2005-06. He also led the NBA in clutch scoring, going 19-29 in those moments, or 60% shooting from the floor. 🔥👑🐐
"People call the 1996 Bulls the greatest team in NBA history — then turn around and say LeBron had the most help ever. Make it make sense. 🤔"
When the GOAT conversation comes up, Kobe is not really in it. It’s usually his fans trying to force him into debates. Bron fans aren’t the ones making ESPN or Bleacher Report lists — but when those lists consistently have Bron ahead of Kobe, the envy & jealousy come out.
Your take is garbage ♻️ try harder - Jordan never played in any Finals with his 2nd option being a Dellavedova-level player. You are proving why Bron is Goat 🐐 👑. What happened to Mickey when Pippen had a migraine? Why couldn't he win that game 7? Pippen is the true leader!
LeBron had a 2-1 lead and game 4 at home with a chance to go up 3-1 and was a no-show, scoring 0 points in the 4th qtr, leaving Mozgov alone. It's a pattern and it's why he's lost 3 str8 games in all 6 Finals L's. There's a chokejob and/or a quitjob in every box.
LeBron has won 4 championships with teams that were not the best offensively or defensively. In contrast, Jordan reached the Finals four times with the best offensive teams and twice with the best defensive teams. The narrative that LeBron had an easy path is misleading.
A quick question for the LeBron critics: if he had lost the 2020 Finals, would he be 3-7 or still 3-6—since, you know, it was just a "bubble" loss? Let me know🤔
Imagine not being Top 10 in PPG for his career, yet some little kid on the internet is talking about the greatest scorer ever 😁😁
Greatest. Scorer. Ever.
Critics often discuss the number of All-Stars Bron had on his teams, but let's look at the facts: when Bron won the chip in ‘16, he was the only All-Star on the team. In his 10 Finals appearances, he had just one All-Defensive Player and one All-NBA Player. Jordan had that 5x
These were LeBron’s teammates during his four championship runs. In 2016, he was the only All-Star on his team. It wasn’t until 2020 that he had a teammate who was both All-NBA and All-Defensive. 🐐👑
