Lebron Stan's have to reach so hard to make their arguments that their go to is "Jordan never won anything without Pippen".

And even if that's the argument, how is it better than "Lebron has won nothing without AD, Kyrie, Wade, or Bosh".

It's just a really dumb talking point all around.

It's as though they have no concept whatsoever of what a laughingstock the Chicago Bulls were when Jordan got there.

In the 7 years before James went to Miami to finally win something, the Heat had made the playoffs 6 times and won a Championship.

In the 7 years prior to Jordan's arrival in Chicago they'd played .500 basketball once.

Lebron stans are just so damn insecure that they simply can't recognize how god-awful these arguments are.

Check out what the Cavs were in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Then check them out again after LeBron left the first time.

But I thought not winning anything with the Bulls until he was 27 meant Jordan was clearly inferior? I'm not sure how the Cavs are relevant in that case since he didn't win anything with them until he was 31.

Or do you intend to let a series sweep where they were flatly embarrassed by the Spurs do THAT much heavy lifting here?

Please tell me that's not the argument you're trying to make. Pretty please?

Or hey, how 'bout "check out the Bulls when Jordan left the first time..." and then after he came back and they became the most dominant team in NBA history.

Whatever point you're trying to make here, you're not doing it terribly well.

The point is that LeBron won when he got HOFers for teammates and not anytime before that, exactly the same as MJ. The only difference is that LeBron had more team success beforehand (which again speaks to his superiority as a teammate and also better elucidates Pippen's comments about MJ being, for the lack of a better term, a ball hog).

MJ's son is dating Pippen's recently ex-wife. Pippen probably not salty about that lol.

You know why?

Because I trust my eyes. I know Mahomes is the GOAT. Just like with MJ. No need to attack Brady or constantly refer to Mahomes as the GOAT.

The funny this is many of the people in the media that know Mahomes is the GOAT literally refer to him as the MJ of football.

Again, Lebron is Brady, Mahomes is MJ, that's why this comparison you try to make is hilarious.

I've said this a few times. I've never seen such a push to get a guy over as the GOAT. It was never needed. Jordan, Brady, Mahomes, Gretzky, Serena, Ali, Bonds. I have one guy on my FB feed thay that is exactly like KCC. Just obsessed with pushing LBJ up and over Mount Jordan . There has to be a name for this psychiatric disorder.

All what goes away? Somebody has to defend LeBron here from these vultures given his GOAT status and stature, are you gonna do it?

Why the **** would a t-shirt Beaker/Raptor fan (weird enough combo) even care?

T-Shirt Beaker/Raptor? Is that meant to imply I didn't attend KU (which I did)? Or that I'm a fake Raptors fan (despite being a STH)?

Let's just add that to the list of things you're wrong about.

If you don't want to believe me about the GOAT debate, take it from Scottie Pippen. The guy who was with MJ for the entire Bulls run.

Jordans son even ****in Pippens ex-wife these days. Makes sense hes sour.
