Except LeBron at 35... Or LeBron at 22. Give me a break Michael is not as great as you guys put him out to be. He does not play all five positions and has always had help from his teammates to make him look good without giving much back. Want to argue?

it was food poisoning, he ordered a pizza the night before and the utah pizza joint did something to his food so he wouldn't play well the next day, little did they know that they sparked the flames for one of the most iconic games in MJ's career.

As a Chicago fan, I will forever thank Portland for taking Bowie.

[@mikeroagreschen5350]

[Sad trombone sound] In hindsight, both Houston and Portland passed on the GOAT. Houston at least got a legendary center who carried them to two championships. Bowie had injury issues; he was considered to be a guy with a lot of potential. Plus the Blazers already had a 2 guard in Drexler. But yeah. I'm a Bulls fan too. Michael needed to be in the heartland of the country. Not up in the Pacific Northwest. He was America's player. Nike... Gatorade... McDonald's... starring in a music video with Michael Jackson. Jordan transcended basketball similar to how Muhammad Ali transcended boxing. Jordan is an icon. The guy who currently plays for the Lakers is just a basketball player.

What are you smoking? Playing at elevation has an effect on your conditioning. You're just a moron if you feel you need to mock me instead of doing some research and seeing I'm right.

[@edmondlau511]

It certainly makes a difference. The thinner air at elevation makes cardio more difficult. Not to mention having to sleep in a hotel on the road, you typically get less quality sleep than you would at home in your own bed.

What this highlight reel doesn't show enough is what Jordan looked like during timeouts. The NBC crew and everyone I was watching the game with were really wondering if he was going to pass out. How he could pull it together and go out and play like that is unbelievable.

[@billj4525]

I agree. He was so sick and ill. He threw up all night and couldn't sleep at all because of the pain he was in. He was weak and barely had the strength to get up off the bed or the couch, yet he pulled it together and got his team to win a huge nba finals game. Maybe his best performance ever. DEF top 5.

This is just one of a many factors that separate him from LeBron. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Edit: I commented this 3 yrs ago. Although i still think MJ is the goat, i think lebron has proven himself the boat(best player of all time). Its really hard to compare because of the different eras.

[@LukeMaynard]

I never watched basketball as a kid, but when these finals came on TV while I was a teenager, I was riveted to every game. The Flu Game has been a formative moment throughout my life. It's pretty certain that I'll probably never do anything on this Earth at the same level of skill that Michael Jordan played basketball. That level of skill is totally beyond me. But more than once, in absolutely miserable shape, I've done some very average things with the kind of determination Jordan showed, and it's got me through some very tough times. Most of us will never have that kind of talent. But the kind of determination and will to keep going he showed is something we can all shoot for.

[@crisserna735]

Micheal Jordan is the basketball itself. Hats off for the greatest ever.
