Usain Bolt ? Teddy Riner (10x Heavyweights Judo world champ) ? Thor (i think 6x winner of the strongmen competition) ? Micheal Phelps ? Floyd Mayweather ? John Jones ? I mean MJ really dominated the NBA, but Lebron has been just as dominant, the guy went to 8 consecutive finals and 10 in total, he just happened to play against the greatest team ever 4x in a row, and one of the best team ever the SPURS of Duncan, Kawhi, Parker and Ginobili 3x (only 2 with Kawhi), and he has by far the longest prime ever and will completely destroy most records so for me 10 Finals 4 wins with these kind of performance against this competition is just as good as 6 finals 6 wins, it’s just like comparing Mohamed Ali and Mayweather, Ali lost many big fights but it doesn’t mean he wasn’t better than Floyd …

MJ is by far the GOAT. His game, drive, discipline and entertainment value are off the charts. Like Bob Costas said, lots of guys have skill and lots of guys have talent, but MJ gives you that level of artistry. He always just had a knack for the moment. We will never see another player like MJ. Ever. What he did for the league. I mean Lebron elevated NBA player disloyalty, greed and financial self-interest to dizzying heights. But MJ took basketball (and not just the NBA) to dizzying heights. And currently the state of play in the NBA has never been more undisciplined and unorganized. Very little on-court leadership. Difficult to watch.

Damn - if he had some legitimate help on that Wizards squad - I have no doubt he would’ve led them to the Finals and won! In this game he obviously torched Richard Jefferson and Kenyon and Kittles (Ja would get cooked!!😂)- I dare say Jordan is the greatest shooter inside the 3 point line- in history!!
