LeBron James GETS DESTROYED By Michael Jordan For Calling Himself THE GOAT

How come no one said that about Ali? MJ himself telling people he’s black jesus. How you get a name doesn’t matter it’s about can you back it up and most people in the public eye will not give their true feelings or thoughts being interviewed or questioned. No one is “great” accidentally. Egos are thick and no star is as humble as image creation may portray them.

[@middlfingazup2446]

@@Karll541 I didn’t say he came up with it. I said he has proclaimed it. When I first spoke (not sure if that was on your line or someone else’s) my point was there’s players who claim names. It’s not about how you got a name it’s can you back it up. I. E. If I come to the park calling myself “buckets” I’m leaving that park getting called “buckets”. Ali called himself the greatest. They marketed a high school kid, made money off the high scholl kid then people try to use that “no need to say it but nobody said that about Ali then you have dudes claiming black jesus but they get a pass which Mj is one of them. People dogging Lbj for ego trippin’ when Mj & others do the same things and or near similar. All these stars have ego in sports, pro sports, some more than others but image creation some people believe players with egos are humble. They can’t be both. They can show some humility at times but you can not truly be both no matter what the media portrays. Some people (no one specifically)are ok with certain things depending on who it’s coming from instead of being consistent. Regardless he backed up all the hype from hs on no matter what anyone calls that dude.

[@Void7.4.14]

​@@dominiquejones3805It depends, I think Isaiah is one of the best but I can't see him being better than Magic at all. Not even close imo. Magic is one of the greatest all-time players, he accomplished as much or more than most in almost half time time of a lotta other top 10 players aside from MJ. His rookie season alone had one of the most legendary finishes ever. Isaiah is great but not even top 10 I don't think. But really neither were pure John Stockton style PGs, Stockton was one of the absolute best pure 1's. But both Magic and Isaiah were a little more versatile to me, Magic with his size and Zeke with the physicality, they could slip into whatever role they needed to play where a more pure 1 is an ultimate ball mover and facilitator that only shoots when they're the best option and nothing better is opening up in time. Magic and Isaiah could shake it up in a number of ways.

I’m a long time Celtics fan and over the years I’ve seen the best of both Jordan and Lebron. They’re two of the greatest players ever, but I don’t recall opposing teams and fans having the same sort of awe for Lebron that we all had for Jordan. If you were a fan when Jordan played and don’t just rely on statistics you’d know what I mean. After all, it was Jordan who raised the profile and popularity of the NBA in the entire world. If there were two competing teams with comparable levels of talent, and I had to pick one player to make a difference, I would pick Michael Jordan every time, without question!

He didn't act like a fool when there were blatant no calls against him. The narrative around brons selflessness baffles me. He literal controls the game to the point where the team has no identity when he is off the court. He chooses who eat and who doesn't. But he always makes sure he eats first. That's why you see every 3rd superstar on his team suck. No chemistry. Just talent and James way.

Let’s not forget the inability to win a chip without at least 3 HOF/allstars. And at the same time, losing chips with at least 3 HOF/allstars on his team. Inability to actually build a team from the ground up. He can only form Voltron to win. Cannot mentor young players to win because it’s about him. Remember what he did to the lakers young team. Look how good many of them are now playing with their respective teams. The dude is great at certain aspects of b-ball, but fundamentally flawed at others and also mentally weak and extremely narcissistic.

More games played leading to more career points made does not make you a GOAT.

[@reignmankemp]

Lebron has MVPs, finals MVPs, great averages, even now at 38 great averages, stats, wins, championships. He has been the best player in the league longer than anyone ever, he has been a top 10 player in the league longer than anyone, he has the most All NBA team selections, most all star selections. Lebrons PER is higher than Jordan's in the playoffs from his first championship win to his last. His finals averages are better. He didn't play in the expansion era. He played in a far more competitive landscape. His finals competition was far better. Aside from scoring - passing, rebounding, defending - Bron is better at. All that - and he has been doing it longer than anyone. There is plenty of points that can lead you to the conclusion that Bron>MJ. Your "simple" scenario isn't so simple when there has never been anyone like that. End of day - Lebron is 38 averaging 30ppg. When has that been done? This record won't be broken for 100 years.

The Jazz and 96 Sonics are the best teams Jordan ever faced. Let that sink in. You had Harden, Westbrook and Durant taking on Bron. Curry, Green, Klay and KD. Duncan, Leonard, Ginobili and Parker... Even the Miami Heat team those Lakers beat are probably better than the 96 Sonics talent for talent.

Right just like in nfl smith has the rushing yards record but everyone knows there are a few that were better. Barry sanders just to name one.

This is because LeBron has been told he's God's Gift to Basketball since he was like 16.. So he fully expected to have his NBA Career make Jordan's look like how JJ Reddick looks at Bob Cousy... Once LeBron realized just how much winning Jordan did and that he wasn't going to surpass him, he (and I highly think it was under the direction of older NBA advisors who hate Jordan) started influencing the media to focus on certain things so that he could be viewed as surpassing Jordan or at least make it a great debate... Problem is other players who are similar to LeBron (great players, great stats, very very few Rings) all got kicked out of the GOAT convo under the stance of "Ok you got great stats but you don't win. Winning matters." With LeBron and LeBron Fans they are trying to change that standard so LeBron can be amongst the greats and keep their egos/pride in tact

Unfortunately, we only have data from jordan's last 2 bulls seasons, along with his wizards seasons (which im ignoring). MJ was attempting about 20% of his shots at the rim. Even then, bulls jordan and lebron both shot 50.5% from the field.

MJ only lost one playoff series when he played with at least one All-Star on his team (oops, my bad, he's only had one All-Star on his teams) while LBJ has lost eight series when playing with one or more all-stars . In the play offs MJ is 20-7 against 50 win teams while LeBron is 10-9 and MJ is 7-2 against 60 win teams while LeBron is 3-4 . Pretty cut and dry as far as who the G.O.A.T. is. If it's about winning, it's pretty clear who is ahead. If it's about stats, the only stat LBJ is ahead of MJ is in longevity. With longevity comes the good (points, assists, steals, rebounds etc.) and the bad (turnovers, missed shots). Longevity doesn't make you better, it just means you played longer. Other than longevity, MJ is ahead in every other statistical category such as PPG. However, MJ won more League MVP's, Finals MVP's, scoring titles, steals titles, first team all defense selections, Defensive Player of the Year, not to mention championships, in less time than LBJ. I could go on and on but any smart person would have figured it out by now. There is no comparison between MJ and LBJ.

I am a very good judge of character and I can read people very well. I had always said Lebron was a closet "self centered" dude. LIke he tries to play the part of a humble guy, gracious, blah blah blah but deep down he's full of himself. That's the problem I have with people like that is when they pretend to be something they're not. Kobe, he was cocky, arrogant, self centered and he will tell you about it. He wasn't hiding that part about himself like Lebron.

[@marccraney1260]

The biggest difference between the two in my humble opinion. Is that Jordan wanted to play against the best players in the league. And beat them to show how great and better than them he was. And LeBron wants to play with all the best players in the league. To get stats and try to win as many chips as Jordan. But somebody should have told him. That you play with the best players in the league during the Allstar. Games and in the Olympics. Not during the regular season. When you play against the best players during the regular season. That's what's called. Competition. But he doesn't want to compete. He just wants stats. But that doesn't make you the goat. Competing against the best players. And beating them and winning chips. Does.

Lebron for his career is shooting only 37% outside of 3 feet and in the playoffs that goes down to 31%. This to me is a huge weakness and Jordan didn't have any...not one. If you combine this with Jordan being SIGNIFICANTLY better on defense and also much better in clutch moments (especially in the playoffs where Lebron has many meltdowns) it's just really not a contest. Lebron is probably the 2nd best player I've watched since the early 80s but the gap between him and Jordan is actually pretty big.

But never could pull off on the fly some of the most unforgettable moments in NBA history. It was a lot of good players and teams that couldn't win unless Jordan retired. Lebron has teams that's beat him 6 different times in his finals run. The Buffalo Bills made it 4 str8 times without winning. There you go lebron. You belong in that same boat with them. He lucky to have four and not just 2. Someone else had to win it. He loaded up on teams to assemble a team that worked, give a little edge. If it wasn't for Ray Allen Spurs get them twice in a role. If it wasn't for Kylie the warriors get them also. He luck he has 4 🏆. With 3 different teams. Lebron has accomplished some great stats during a 20 year career. Tom Brady has 7.
