MJ>Lebron

GOAT and the ONLY argument against it for me is Kobe...
The first intelligent thing you have ever said on this board
I didn't say it was a good argument but one could be made. A stronger argument than for Lebron
Jordan played in a garbage era of basketball.
Kobe isn't even top ten may he rest in peace.
i rank MJ over lebron...
but keep in mind that lebron is 39 years old. MJ at 39 years old was on a 37-45 wizards team
I don’t get the LeBron hate. What more does the guy need to do?
Too much of that crap you see in the post above yours. Google "Lebron flopping gif" and that's what you see. Google "Michael Jordan flopping gif"...
I get it, I’d take Jordan over LeBron. But some people act like James is some overrated scrub.Too much of that crap you see in the post above yours. Google "Lebron flopping gif" and that's what you see. Google "Michael Jordan flopping gif"...
Pretty much sums up the GOAT debate. One side has facts and logic. The other has memories of the 90s
Of course you are a TikToker gen Z or younger. Get back to recess Tommy. The adults are talking.
Not true. Michael Jordan played in that era. By default making it awesome.
The only people who care about the LeBron vs Jordan argument in 2024 are people who don’t watch basketball. @KFsdisciple & @biggreydogs are the perfect examples of this.

I personally enjoy seeing lebron crying about the officials.
Poor guy can’t catch a break.

In my mind it will always be Jordan. Guy refused to lose.
Let’s be honest, in 30-40 years somebody else will be considered the GOAT. I don’t expect people that never saw Jordan play to pick him as the GOAT.

I don’t think anybody is saying he is not a very good player. But to be the GOAT, there is something extra than just being very good.
MJ and Kobe were stone cold assassins who refused to lose. That is what elevated them from being very good to being great. LeBron completely lacks that characteristic, which is why I’ll never put him in the same category, ever. No matter what the stats and otherwise say.
Insert Anthony Edwards, dudes still only 22 years old and continuing to get better.
For me, I think if Jordan had Lebron’s body he would drive to the hoop every single possession in crunch time and score or be fouled. Is this realistic? Probably not but my opinion is warped by watching Jordan and his drive to win no matter what.
I will say what Lebron is doing at his age is incredible. He might not be the GOAT in my mind but think he has had the best career of any player all time.
Jordan is the GOAT. As someone said already, he refused to lose and I've never seen anyone with a larger will to win.
That said, I preferred watching Magic because he made everyone around him better.

Maybe, but he will need at least 3 rings to even sniff the conversation. Likely 5-6 rings to get upper hand in argument.
And we are talking about Minnesota pro sports. Likely the most snake bit town in the country when it comes to disappointment and futility.
Lol at all the Kobe stuff in this thread. What a joke, & that’s being nice while not bringing up his clutch stats.
I’m sure you all watched that 2006 first round vs the Suns right? “Kobe never quit. He was so strong willed!” Brief up on your history you clowns.

Jordan is the GOAT, no doubt. Kobe is likely just outside of the top 10. Lebron is No. 2 or even 1B to Jordan's 1A.
I do agree that Jordan and Kobe were stone cold assassins, but Lebron has never had to play that style of basketball. He's a freak athlete that Jordan and Kobe could never even come close to being. We have seen very VERY few people have the kind of athleticism that Lebron has. To be that big, that strong, and that fast...it's something we as sports viewers have never seen before. Megatron MIGHT have an argument to be in that class of athlete but it isn't a strong one.
Lebron is 39 years old and is still playing at the highest of high levels. He's going to be 2nd team all NBA this year...at 39. Jordan and Kobe were shells of their former selves at that age. Hell, Lebron is a shell of his former self...but he's still a top 7 player in the league.
I know we all have opinions, but I feel like you're writing off Lebron is the potential GOAT simply because he didn't play with the same grace as MJ.
The difference is pretty much this. There have only been a couple of athletes who when playing on national TV it became must see TV. Jordan and Tiger are the top two for that. and that lasted their entire careers. Lebron never achieved that level, IMO.
Oh don’t I know. It’s great being a twins, Vikings and wolves fan. That 1991 World Series when I was 7 was great.
Just to keep from rehashing the same thing again, I saw this article and immediately thought of HROT. Five legends who would dominate today, five who wouldn't.

My son complains to me often “why did you have to like such crappy teams?”
I told him to pick his own and he said it’s too late.
Yeah, I quit reading after they said Magic would struggle in today's NBA. Whoever made this list has never watched NBA basketball before and just threw out random names they probably thought sounded cool.
Stephen A.: Michael Jordan Calls Anthony Edwards 'Special' During Wolves Win vs. Suns
Anthony Edwards was excellent in the Minnesota Timberwolves' Game 1 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday, notching 33 points, nine rebounds and six assists.…

2 different players and eras. It is incredible what Lebron has done in 20 years and still going at age 39, period.
