MJ wasn't the Warriors. He needed Scottie to turn the Bulls into that. Look at his playoff track record without him.

And the 2016 ring is arguably the most impressive win in the history of basketball considering how one-sided in overall talent that series was in favor of the Warriors and how he came back from a 3-1 deficit.

LeBron was 0-4 from the field in the final 4:30 of that game.

GOAT stuff

LeBron hit the 3 to give the Cavs the lead with under 5 minutes to go, a lead they never relinquished due to his insane defense. The Warriors only even got 2 points the rest of the game.

MJ would never.

I'll never forget when he covered all five guys on defense by himself!

I love how Lebron Stan's repeat this stupid ****ing talking point.

MJ needed Pippen to win 6 right?

That's what's you're going with?

Lebron needed Wade, Bosh, Allen, Kyrie, Love, and AD to win 4.

What exactly is the point a Lebron Stan is trying to make here?

Just proof how weak Lebron's actual argument is.

Bc he WAS a prick. Can’t imagine practicing with MJ. Dude would have caught a lot of shit in todays NBA. Hell he socked Steve Kerr in the eye he was so pissed in practice and poor little Steve didn’t do anything.

I’m sure that would have went well in the age of social media.

Practicing with MJ must have been something else. I imagine a bit like this:

Of course you don't see it. Point is that your vigorous defense of all things Lebron regardless is no different than theirs with Alex. It has nothing to do with each player's skillset, it has everything to do with how much their fan boys defend any and everything they did.

Michael Jordan....didn't play defense.

That's what we're going with now.

Just....wow.

I mean, he was very possible the best on-ball perimeter defender in NBA history but that's the argument we're gonna try to have right now?

Neat.

Maybe if Lebron had that in him he would've won in 2011 and 2014, and KCC wouldn't have to cry about the Warriors 24/7 and he'd have a legit argument as the GOAT :shrug:

Instead, he channeled his inner asshole into being a LeGM team hopper and fake social justice activist that demonizes heroic police officers :shrug:

Except if LeBron wasn't the GOAT, I wouldn't defend him to this extent from those clowns who hate him exactly because of how good he is.

Same with Mahomes being the BOAT.

He claims to have watched Jordan and continuously downplays his defense. I've never even wasted my time going there with him because it's obviously futile.

Nobody said MJ didn't play defense. But I don't recall a play like this from him to win the NBA Finals, do you?

This is pure GOAT stuff.

MJ was a fantastic defender but he didn't have the size and strength to guard the variety of positions that LeBron has in his career.

Imagine him trying to guard Jokic like LeBron was doing. Laughable.

You don't remember a remarkable defensive play from Michael Jordan to win an NBA championship?

Okay...

Doesn’t matter if you like LeBron or MJ. LeBron leading his team back from 3-1 against a 73 win team will always be a historic accomplishment. That’s not really debatable.

It pretty much makes up for the biggest stain on his career that Dirk happily gave him.
