So Skip You Wanna Talk about Jordan is The GOAT bc Jordan He has more Rings than LeBron. Jordan, and LeBron Are Both Great Players Who Ever Played The Game Of Basketball. But If You Wanna Determine Who is The GOAT Player of Basketball By Rings. Then Bill Russell Has 11 Rings, Robert Horry has 7 Rings that's One Up on Michael Jordan.

Lebron is great. All time. Seemingly a great guy, great father, great business man… but he didn’t exceed expectations if the expectations was to be better than Jordan, because he’s not.

I’m a former Lebron hater as well. Jordan was my GOAT growing up and like Skip I couldn’t handle the thought of anyone being greater. I hated the late great Kobe (RIP) until I realized he wouldn’t get six. I hated Lebron for most of his career. I finally realized that the goal post is always moved when it comes to his greatness. A 73 win team had to go get KD to beat a HEALTHY Lebron led team. Jordan never faced the teams Lebron faced in the Finals.

MJ is the bar or was(depends on personal preference) of goat. So now we got someone to compare to. That's what I believe is the problem.

[@cjwrench07]

There was a much higher GOAT bar set long before Micheal Jordan ever picked up a basketball. It’s just been erased by the modern NBA media like it never existed, because the man and his achievements are “controversial” to a certain subset of fans and media outlets. The first and ultimate GOAT was and still is: *Mr Bill Russell* with his 11 championships in 13 seasons. As the best player on his team every single season, the best defender against Wilt Chamberlain by a long shot, and *also* the full time head coach on 2 of those championship teams for a total of 13 championship rings! His 2-way performance was always elevated in the playoffs; there was literally no one else they could name the Finals MVP trophy after. At the same time he was playing, Mr. Bill Russell was also an *integral* part of the US Civil Rights movement/fight. And, along with his religious credentials Mr.Bill Russell personally set up THE critical first face-to-face meeting between the sitting US President and MLK’s group. The group that was demonized as “violent” because it was at the time being tear gassed and attacked by police dogs during 100% peaceful protests. PLUS. Mr.Bill Russell’s personal intervention was also integral in the hours and days immediately after the assassination of MLK, in leading the negotiations between the opposing Right Wingers in Congress that vowed to never allow even a reading, and the Civil Rights supporters with the US President. [A full 70% of European-Americans openly opposed even the idea of the Civil Rights Act leading up to its passing and the 5yrs of opposing legal challenges after its passing into law by the Legislative & Presidential branches of federal power] Mr.Russell was personally in the negotiations make sure it got not just to a vote, but also had the necessary super-majority of 60 senate votes on the right side of history to pass immediately. Mr.Bill Russell’s tireless hard work on both sides of the aisle. One that had him, and his young family, targeted multiple times by right-wing US religious extremists during his career and afterwards, in Boston and the US SouthEast. That lead to the end of the 10days of national protests with the passing of the Civil Rights Act! There was a very high bar before MJ. It was just erased so MJ’s much lower purely “shut up and dribble” commercialization could be easily sold to the new generation watching the NBA in the 1980-90s.

Never mind his unbelievable play in just about every other series he’s ever been in. MJ lost a lot of playoff games in his career just like every other all time great.

[@Advent616]

True. But Jordan was always considered still the best player even in bed shooting situations. Look at his shooting percentage Game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals. But is negative by the fact that he literally made to cut free throws, got a quick score, literally stole the ball from Karl malone, and hit the game winning shot. You could Nick pick the fact that he had a bad fourth quarter but the man still came through for his team. And unlike LeBron and Steph he did it with outload management. He never went and joined a Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh or ask a Kevin Durant to come and join his team. Jordan also has a more consistent Peak and a traditional one at that much like many of the all-time greats. You have a point where you have to learn how to win first which Jordan did in the first 5 years when he got eliminated the first round and struggled against the bad boy pistons. Then he started winning championships. And then he had a decline when he was past his prime when he was with the Wizards again like most athletes eventually hit. But outside of going to eight consecutive finals where is Lebron's? Where he actually formed a dynasty? The fact of the matter is that he hasn't whereas Jordan did. IF Jordan had less championships and had made it to less Finals than Lebron then I would say LeBron's eight straight finals appearances would hold more weight. But that's not fact isn't it? It's a hypothetical in which case I will have to concede to fairness. Just like Brady having seven championships compared to Montana's 5 makes him the G.O.A.T. You have to EARN that right. No one should be coddled into accepting it. Lebron may be the heavily scrutinized but he's also the most coddled.
