Look at the players with the 10 most total minutes (not to be confused with MPG) on the 2010-2011 Cavs, on the 2014-2015 Heat, and on the 2018-2019 Cavs rosters. In this scenario, we're going with the 10 total-minutes leaders on each of those 3 squads because they'll need to do substitutions to get the core players some rest. What we'll now do is add in LeBron James individually with each of the 3 teams that consisted of those 10 total-minutes leading players. We'll say that LeBron will play Small Forward on the 2011 Cavs and Power Forward on both the 2015 Heat and 2019 Cavs. With that said, you can't tell me that if you placed a healthy and injury-free LeBron with those squads... that they wouldn't become a 50 win regular season team along with being at least a second round appearance... regardless of who the mediocre coaching staff would be. If you added Jordan in with the 10 total-minutes leaders of the 1999 Bulls roster and had a mediocre coach like Tim Floyd coaching the team, there is no way in hell you're going to say that the team would've even won 50 games. You couldn't add a healthy 40 year old Jordan in with the 10 total-minutes leader of the 2004 Wizard's and say that they'd win 50 games with Coach Eddie Jordan either.

[@killerkdawg88]

Update: LeBron now has 4 championships, 4 finals MVPs, is now the third all-time leading scorer in NBA history, the ONLY player to win finals MVP on three different teams, and is one of only 2 players to win finals MVP in both conferences (the other being Kawhi Leonard) Is LeBron “better” than Jordan? At the end of the day, that’s a matter of personal opinion. But if you say LeBron isn’t a top 10 (he’s top 5 in my opinion) player, you’re out of your mind.

Mike is such a hypocrite on this topic. He doesn’t consider Brady the GOAT because he lost 3 superbowls. He thinks Brady going 6-3 in the SB is a knock against him, where as Montana won all 4 so that somehow puts him above Brady. Come on Mike.

Ok, so he was off one more win that the Bulls had when Jordan left and it was 63 that the Cavaliers lost instead of 65. But his points are dead on How in the hell was the 1994 Bulls team much worse? They won 55 games, Phil Jackson still the coach, Scotty Pippen on the top of his game, and could've won a championship without him. You say Mike Francesa doesn't know anything about basketball? Sounds more like you don't.

[@SeecretWeapon]

It's not the same team it added better players! he's assuming that a team that loses in the 2nd round because if a bad call in game 5, is going to go on and win the next 2 series WITHOUT home court. & the finals vs the Rockets , a team that even WITH Jordan would beat the Bulls often Cavs when Lebron left were a different team trying to tank Wake up!

dkouts57, the fact that you say that Durant is the best player in the league and that LeBron is just being good, speaks for itself.

[@SeecretWeapon]

Notice I said that after Durant was a unanimous MVP & showed a better year than Lebron. With that said, the Warriors wouldn't have the balls to play Durant 1 on 1 for the vast majority of 6 games & if they did you could write in 40+ pts minimum. No chance he shoots sub 40% & 26% outside the lane

[@patrickgray5633]

Francesa I’m not a fan of but he’s 100% right James who I can’t stand is on a different level he has gifts that Jordan didn’t attacking the rim James unstoppable now Jordan better shooter but to me James is better. That being said the greatest player ever & Francesa is right about his domination thats Wilt Chamberlain nobody could totally stop him rules were made to slow him down where Jordan, Kobe & James the rules made it easier on them not Wilt ally oop dunking was offensive goal tending think about that folks.

[@superdopehiphop]

Havlicek 8-0 in the finals must be the GOAT! MJ and LeBron my Co GOAT by the way and I’ve seen them both live 52 x live center court row 10. Jerry West was 0-7 (his TEAMS were) in first 7 finals but averaged 33, 5, 5 on 47-48 FG%. It’s a TEAM game yet ppl use TEAM accomplishments to talk individual greatness. MJ was God tier his first 6 years but team wasn’t as great and there were other all time great teams from 84-89 so in first 6 playoffs he was 24-29 and never even made the finals! That doesn’t mean he wasn’t great! His teams were great in 90s and no other all time 2-4 HOF players in prime type teams like in 60s, early 70s, 80s, 2000s, 2010s. 6 new expansion teams 88-95 (4 in east) was part of that.

Mike I love you man but you said Lebron doesn’t have to chase championships cause he’s already won championships… The reason why your wrong about that is because Lebron James repeatedly over and over though the years has stayed out his own mouth he’s chasing the ghost of Chicago… meaning he’s chasing Jordan’s championships cause he wants more than Jordan… So Mike if Lebron repeatedly tells us all he’s chasing Jordan, how can you say he doesn’t have to chase anybody?? Lebron openly admitted he’s chasing Jordan.. what are you talking about?

[@johead8516]

Also I love Mike Francesca and he’s right about saying the criteria isn’t totally based on how many finals was won or lost… he said Jerry West and Larry Bird and asked how many finals did those guys lose…. HOWEVER if your 6-0 in the finals with 6 finals MVPs…. That’s what sets the criteria for judging players on wins and losses in the NBA finals….. I’m not saying it all should be judged my finals wins and losses but definitely it’s a relevant factor

[@johead8516]

Mike brought up Elgin Baylor and Jerry west on how many finals they lost…. The thing is Mike both of these players are all time greats however nobody considers them the GOAT… For players who are all time greats the criteria shouldn’t be wins and losses in the finals but when talking about the GOAT then finals wins and losses definitely metters
