Definitely not true.

He retired much earlier than Lebron and had more scoring titles, MVPs, first-team defensive awards, Finals MVPs etc..

Mahomes will surpass Brady in all award categories with the exception of titles.

Tough to compare player for player. MJ is a combo of PM2 and Montana. LBJ is more of a Brady/Jim Kelley combo.

Of course. Just as LeBron will surpass (or has already surpassed) MJ in every individual statistical category with the exception of titles won.

Lebron doesn’t have more mvps, Finals mvps, defensive first-team awards, scoring titles etc

Mahomes will have more mvps, offensive player of the year awards, passing yards leader, pass rating leader etc

Mahomes will do it better than Brady, most likely in a shorter amount of years just like Jordan compared to Lebron.

Again, I have no dog in this.

But isn't this the main point? Number of Rings et al?

MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, World Cup, Gold Metals, Masters

Again, you can spout all sorts of numbers in different categories: best this, best that etc.

The bottom line is "Rings".

And still off topic from the OP on the "Flu Game".

I forgot about Kirk Gibson in 88. That has to be right at the top as well

Agreed

Having watched MJ in his prime and later LeBron, it's absurd to put the latter on the same scale as Jordan.
The eye test alone showed me how Jordan was on a different tier as a player. Watching him play was like watching a joystick character in a video game. He played the game with such elegance, made moves that blew your mind, was always so clutch and dominant. Jordan had 10 scoring titles and in one season won both the scoring title and defensive player of the year. Crazy. LeBron is his own version of dominant but the guy lacks that clutch gene Jordan had. He is a great all around player but he doesn't have that IT factor to me. Kobe was the closest I saw that came close to Jordan.

And in the NFL, Mahomes is the equivalent of what MJ was for the NBA. This isn't me as a Chiefs fan saying it but countless other fans who follow the sport. The throw Mahomes made in the SB being paralel to the ground, nobody else can make that throw.
Watching Pat play is like going back in time and watching Jordan play for the Bulls. What a time to be alive.

Lebron should've stayed with Cleveland. If he stayed there and won a fist full of rings, his legacy would look so much better to me.

And yet if Draymond Green had played game 5, Golden State probably wins that championship.

This, imagine if free agency in Jordan's era would allow him to assemble talent in different cities every 5 years or so...

Speaking of GOATs, John Force is a freakin' Leviathan. Picked up another final today.

Why would he need to? He had 3 HOFers brought to him by the GM he oddly despised. The mid to late 90s Bulls were the most stacked team in history other than the KD Warriors.
