If the only measurement for GOAT is what that player's team did in the NBA Finals, then you're quite right, Jordan can't be surpassed by LeBron or anybody else right now (well other than by Bill Russell and other greats with 6+ titles, but we won't get into that). But it's not and you're just trolling without any context.

They were deep enough to win 2 NBA Championships in a row. Seriously when the players conspire together to build their own super team there is no excuses when they lose. |

And yet, ironically, those comparisons continue to be made by those who are worried that Jordan's legacy will be damaged by the threat of LeBron.

Well for one their defensive strategy in every game was flat out garbage. They collapsed needlessly because they didn't trust their own players to be able to stop whoever it was driving. Obviously teams have done it. They should have looked at the Houston games to see what they could have done.

And let's not overstate how good Jordan's supporting cast was. They were excellent, but hardly your traditional "Big 3." Let's not forget that a big chunk of their team makeup was around solid but unspectacular players like Paxson, Cartwright, Kerr, Wennington, and Longley. |

MJ elevated the play of his teammates.
LeBron does not. "Take my lead" lol...how'd that work out for you, king?

For those here who seem to struggle with this comparison and never watched MJ....
