He averaged 43 in the playoffs and scored 63 without shooting a three He is the definition of a goat

[@nicKz]

@C Stanton yeah Wilt also didn’t go up against arguably one of the greatest teams in NBA history either when he scored 100

[@MysticShadow21]

w/o 3s is crazy ngl

[@lraoux]

There can only be one. 6 for 6 in the finals. Lebron doesn't have that level of shark in him.

[@crystalizedExposed]

@@lraoux mj the goat but this a bad argument, lebron doesnt have that level of shark in him because he competed in the finals more?

[@lraoux]

@@crystalizedExposed LeBron absolutely does not have the level of shark / Championship DNA that MJ had: he has lost more Finals (6) than he’s won (4). MJ, aside from his mad skills both offensive and defensive, made sure that his opponents didn’t get the best of him. LeBron seems to be satisfied with just getting there.

This is one of the MJ moments lots of fans forget. Blessed to watch MJ as a kid and Kobe as an adult.

[@nathanyelreyes5826]

& now you have Lebron who surpassed both. So dope

[@RushNFL]

@@nathanyelreyes5826he surpassed kobe he hasn’t surpassed mj yet

[@nattyps3160]

So true. I remember when kobe entered as a 17 year old he was only 2 years older than myself at the time. I recall that shocking me thinking wow I'm only interested 10th grade & this kid is in the NBA going up against the all time greats & he's only 2 years old than me. I started seriously watching bball in 93 so all these still young guys were born in the mid to late 60s so it was very strange to see a guy born in 1978 in the NBA while I'm born in 81 & he's playing w/ men & living a grown man's life going on the road. Mj was like a ball God so he grew up watching the guys he idolized b/c he came in the league so young. It's akin to an only 21 year old doc Gooden going up against hero Nolan Ryan in the n.l . Title series to go to the world series.

The person said that the 67-15 regular season record the Celtics had during the 1985-86 season was the best in team history, this was the second best regular season record in team history since the 1972-73 Boston Celtics went 68-14. In regards to being the best team in Celtics history to win the NBA championship, I'd agree that the 1985-86 Celtics were the best to do so
