6-0 in the finals. never went to a game 7. never blew a 3-1 lead. the resume got no scratches on it

he faced the bad boy pistons who were legally allowed to assault him. sit down

mj also never had to face a coaches challenge, load management, or a 73 win superteam. different planet of competition

lebron passed him in points, top 5 in assists, and lasted 21 years. longevity IS a skill. yall just hate it

peak > longevity in a goat convo. nobody was scared of 41 year old lebron the way they were scared of 1996 mj

the "mj never lost in the finals" crowd forgets he lost in the first round three times. convenient

kareem got more points, russell got more rings, wilt got crazier numbers. this debate is recency bias for BOTH of them

mj in todays league with the spacing and no hand checking would average 40. terrifying thought honestly

lebron dragged a g league roster to the finals in 2018 and swept his way there. thats more impressive than any single mj series ngl

longevity is a skill tho. 20 years of elite ball, all time leading scorer, harder era to dominate. bron

longevity aint a tiebreaker when the peak is lower. go watch 91 and 92
N
