Guys I beg you, from a statistical standpoint, MJ destroys almost everyone except maybe Kareem, What Jordan did in his shortened career is unbelievable. Jordan also had this thing called GRACE and FINESSE that maybe only Kobe came close to.1 on 1, Jordan would absolutely defeat Lebron. I'd take speed and being a technician over Lebron any day. If you really want a 1v1 battle to settle this score, you pick Giannis. There is no one in the league right now that could beat Giannis 1on1. So it's not even about that. But trust me if you watched the incredible drive, passion and determination of Jordan in playoffs especially, it can barely be matched.

But LBJ post pandemic Couldn't play D, couldn't shoot well and HURT A LOT! Now.... Hardly ever hurt minutes thru the roof running up and down court like nothing and going Bald Faster than a MF.

One of the most amazing things of MJ is that we haven’t seen any other player until this day that can do some of the things he did. For example, in football (soccer how some lame people call it), you can see over the time how some players add to their skills some plays, dribblings, feints, etc. from other players of the past and some of them even improve them. In Jordan’s case, I haven’t seen other player do the things he did or at least do them like him. He really is one of a kind.

Mid to late 80s to the late 90s was the best decade,rough ,hand checking legal,go to the paint on the hardwood you will be,look up the Jordan rules and Detroit's formula to beat Mike and the bulls.Force Mike left,if he drives to the paint hard foul Everytime.Took 2 years to beat Detroit and the "Jordan rules".Hack a Mike was the there def but the 3 eastern finals nothing was stopping Mike from the that first ring,or 2nd,3rd,played baseball to learn he can't hit junk but will turn on a fastball but that won't keep you in the majors so Mike comes back late season lost wearing 45,came back the next season than won 3 more straight.Nobody does that,closest was the showtime Lakers,Magic top 5 in front of lebron to.he may have 4 rings but took him 12 finals,that is no 🐐 status.

Greatest player I’ve ever seen play and imo greatest of all time. I was lucky to have WGN in my town so I could see the Chicago cubs and the Chicago Bulls play. Every game Jordan played on we would rush home to watch because there’s only 50 moments here but this stuff happened every game, it was just what’s he gonna do this game. You didn’t even have to watch every play we would eat dinner and casually watch and every time they took it down the court MJ would do something magical. GOAT IMO

That's why Michael is the greatest of all time. Let's not forget that during that time, basketball players had a lot of charisma, and the game was tougher than it is now. It personally hurt players when another team beat them. Greetings from Spain. Michael GOAT.
