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. |

By that logic, Ray Allen recently said MJ is the GOAT. He played with Lebron and knows he bailed him out big time.
And unlike Pippen, Allen isn't saying that because he's scorned. KCC is so insecure because he knows the overwhelming majority of former and current players and coaches, along with fans and the media, will always view MJ as the GOAT. |

And I'm supposed to 'take it from him' when he tries to claim credit for the player Michael Jordan was CLEARLY becoming well before he got there? Yeah - that sounds like a really credible source.

Sounds a lot like how most NFL circles treat Brady to me. Clinging to the past and defending the indefensible long past the point it becomes obvious they have/will be surpassed.

Jordan wins 50 games with Charles Oakley as his #2 scorer and Dave Corzine, Brad Sellers and Sam Vincent as the next 3 most important players on the team.
Scottie Pippin: "Michael wasn't shit without me..." KCC: "You should believe everything that guy says..." Uh huh....

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. |

It's of course exactly the opposite. Mahomes is the newcomer who continues to be compared against a ghost (Brady) that he will never be able to measure up to no matter what he does individually (7 titles). There's a striking similarity there to a certain basketball player who has dominated the NBA for longer than anyone ever has.

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. |
