Maaannnn The 6/6 finals thing is misleading. Jordan didn’t get the team LeBron got to the finals in 2007. Jordan didn’t have to play against the talent OKC or the Spurs has in 2012 and 2013. Jordan didn’t have to face a super team like the warriors. LeBron is doing what he’s doing without much of a supporting cast. Pippen got a team to the ECF after MJ left. Pippen but up better career numbers than Kyrie. I can appreciate accolades but the athleticism now vs then isn’t comparable. LeBron is the most dominant, skilled player we’ve ever seen. Without question - we may never see as skilled a player as Lebron. Some guys named Robertson and Chamberlain were pretty good too though. It's like the beautiful game, those that saw Pele play say he is the greatest. I say Maradona is the greatest. And now they say Messi or Ronaldo. Cricket has Bradman v Tendulkar. Every generation in every sport have the once in a generation player. Your boys were robbed today Rich, Miege & all the Cleveland fans on here. Forget the JR error off the free throw, they should have called a timeout. That charge against KD in the last minute should not have been reversed.

As I said before - accomplishments wise MJ is the GOAT. BUT. LeBron gives you almost as many points on better efficiency, is a better rebounder and passer. We'll never know which player was truly better and Bron wont make a case for GOAT for many out there because of his finals record (this narrative is really trash, is it better to be 3-0 rather than 3-6?). Im not a Cavs fan so I dont have a dog in this fight just wanted to point out that Bron is ridicolous lol. It's a damn shame that Hill, refs and JR wasted that legendary performance. Now issa sweep/GSW in 5.

Now issa sweep/GSW in 5. I am glad I got to watch both these guys play and they are both freaks!! And you are right - Lebron has a very strong case. If only he had won more championships, there would be no discussion. I think it years to come when he is retired, he will get the recognition he truly deserves. That is what always happens in all sporting codes, they are compared to predecessors by championships, premierships until they retire. What they both can do and how they destroy teams is phenomenal. On a side issue; how they even say Curry is an exceptional player has me beat. You take away that 3 point shot (I know he is one of the best shooters ever) and he struggles to make the top 10 PG's currently IMO. He cannot postup, defend or dunk. Sure, he rebounds a lot but that is because he is placed there to do exactly that because he cannot defend so he drifts back to the bucket. He gets his assists as GSW have so many good shooters - who do you leave to cover him when he is in shooting range. It's either a 3ptm to Curry or assist opportunity.
