the 90s is like a graveyard of teams that are ringless but where great, i think thats what makes Jordan my GOAT, in the end of the day basketball is a competition and when your competition is basically a who's who of people that came in second then thats what makes u the greatest.

[@henry7486]

I think it’s extremely close but that’s a silly argument. Bron played for longer in a tougher era, of course more people are going to have rings. The only team/player that ‘shouldn’t have a ring’ is the Mavs/Dirk. Also, I think that Hakeem and the Rockets would have smoked Chicago if MJ didn’t retire

[@BrendanHenry-vm4il]

​@henry7486 yeah bur LeBron has 4 rings in 21 years that's not like stopping the rest of the league l I ke 6 in 11_12

[@viperstrike0]

@@henry7486 he played for longer and stopped less greats from getting rings. I'm not one of those old heads that claim the league isn't more talented now but that's because talent is always better and is always going to be better as time goes on because they learn from previous generations. If your marker for who won in the most Talented era then ur GOAT is Jason Tatum because every year talent increases.
