The he was gonna get grilled by the media for getting swept and then he pulled a ace card and changed the narrative to say he’s going to retire …😂 classic move now nobody talking about the sweep only about his possible retirement and nothing about the Denver nuggets 😂… chess move right there … and yes this definitely affects his legacy and moves him to third best player ever … whoever disagrees, are the same people who said this was the most important title if he wins this year he’s definitely the goat… his fans say rings don’t matter when anyone brings up Jordan’s six titles undefeated but this ring this year would count if he won ?? 😂 make it make sense

You ppl problem is that you conveniently leave out context and just acknowledge surface level half assed takes without any context once it favors who you want to be the goat. we are all smart enough to know that the cavs in 07 were not even close to being s talented as the spurs. Jordan got swept numerous times in the 1st round when he was in a similar situation having a lesser talented team than the opponents. Props to him for losing in the 1st so that it doesnt blemish his perfect finals record. 2018 again, we all know his team was clearly outmatched by the most talented team ever in which jordan have never faced a team close to that team in his entire career. in the 90s u literally had one man capable of averaging 30 on a regular basis which was jordan himself so idk why u mention the scoring title difference. There are clearly much more and better wing players in the 2000s and beyond than there ever was in the 90s.

[@dominicharris5489]

Also everyone leaves out the obvious context of competition level. The only position that isnt far better today than the 90s is bigmen. there are far better and a larger number of pgs, sgs, sfs and pfs now than the 90s. There are a larger number of good to great teams than there ever was in the 90s. Lebron has done what he did in a farrrr better era in terms of compo than Jordan did. He was always favored in almost every playoff series he ever played in and have not faced teams even close to the 07 or 14 spurs, nor any version of the warriors. in 2015 his 2 next best teammates were out for the series, if jordan did not have pipp and rodman for a series and lost you would easily be quick to call out those things. If jordan faced a near unbeatable team with an average team and got swept you would also be quick to note these things. If jordan took one of those teams in the 80s all the way to the finals and lost to magic lakers yall would be real quick to say that he did not have a comparable team as well.

I think what makes this annoying is that LeBron IS treated with respect. He's a topic of sports conversation just about everyday. However, Michael Jordan is almost as relevant today as he was 20 years ago when he still played, and that is a display of true greatness. The truth is that LeBron has always shown with his actions that he wants the attention, conversation and respect -- which he gets -- but its not enough for him and his fans. There are a lot of differences between the two, but whats interesting is how LeBron does what he can to stay in the spotlight, while Jordan has been basically hiding in plain sight for 20 years and still gets his flowers regularly. Its all subjective, there is no GOAT trophy. Its just people's opinions. But LeBron takes it too seriously (and it hurts how he will be remembered), while Jordan has largely deferred credit his whole life and it has made him greater. LBJ loses GOAT points with a lot of people everytime he does things like this. And since people's opinions create the GOAT narrative, he just keeps hurting his own legacy. Basically, hes created a situation where the basketball won't matter that much.

Lebron won his rings joining super teams

[@atlien1988]

You can't be the GOAT with a losing win percentage in championship games. There's a reason Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, & Wilt Chamberlain are generally not referred to as the greatest players ever.

[@user-di1qt8gb3i]

Kobe said he was the GOAT too.

[@ERiseCali]

Paste the source, video or article. Cause I’ve heard opposite out his mouth, always gives that title to Mike, deservingly so.

[@snipershooter150]

Times will be calmer when 10 years or so have passed, and LeBron is retired.

[@straight_NoChaser]

Glad to see Rob back. Yes, Lebron is a extreme level narcissist, extremely entitled and needs constant validation. He’s insecure with his position in the basketball world. He’s at the end of his career and it’s too late to surpass MJ. MJ is the 🐐.

A white dude definitely posted this comment

@@greg4543 nope sorry 🥷 I’m black lol. Try something other whiny reasoning for why someone doesn’t view LBJ the way you do.

[@rc3335]

Somebody with time should go through all the games and see how many of LeBron’s points are from after-flop free throws, and less pressure from whomever caught the fake foul if it put them in foul trouble.

and travelling..

[@rc3335]

@@PJ92386 right. Lots of points from that as well. They should do it for all the players in the GOAT convo to keep it fair. There’s only a select few. Let’s see the differences.

[@mylessmith8059]

Well since most of you guys think Lebron is a horrible free throw shooter it shouldn’t be that many points right? Maybe like 1500 at most because he’s so bad

[@rc3335]

@@mylessmith8059 I don’t think he’s horrible. I’ve seen him make a lot of free throws. His average over his career is 73.5% which is decent. He did 76.8% this year. So a lot over his long career. I think it would be far more than 1500. I hope some entity takes that on sometime soon.

Never understood the comparisons to begin with. Two great players, played in different eras of the game. You cannot compare two different generations that have never played each other. But they need something to talk about, so whatever.
