Greatest Basketball Player of all time

[tangata motu'a]

Yes Lebron has separated from Jordan by LOSING NBA finals so many times!!! 4 wins out of 10 championships... If this was baseball he'd have a great batting average but this ain't baseball. Jordan is 6 out of 6 in NBA Championship series. Never went to a game 7 cause he's that GOAT.

So you actually have Robert Horry as the GOAT then?

Weak sauce argument from someone who knows nothing about sport.

Robert Horry was NEVER the best player on his team. He was fortunate enough to be on teams that went to the promise land. Sure he contributed and got his chips but he was never the #1 player on his team. That takes you out of GOAT level conversation immediately but clowns like you will bring this up to argue for LeFail. lol.

Try again.

Because your entire argument in your last post was about championships. what about bill russell then? Lebron is the goat. MJ always had the superior team. Lebron was carrying scrubs into the finals half the time

The separator between Lebron and Michael Jordan (and most of the other comparison) is the number and how he won those Championships. Jordan never failed miserable in the Finals. He always showed out and he was impeccable. That's the divider between those two.

You have a much better case of saying Bill Russell is the GOAT. That is arguably correct but it ain't LeFail for sure.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. After that, it goes like this IMO

Tier 1
Kareem
Wilt
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Kobe
LeBron


Tier 2
Russell
Curry (could move to tier 1 with a few more solid seasons)
Shaq
Oscar
West
Hakeem
KD (could move to tier 1 with a few more solid seasons)
Isiah

Tier 3
Barkley
Rodman
Garnett
Karl Malone
Moses Malone
Pippen
Robison
Dirk
DR J
Stockton
Iverson
Wade
Giannis (could move up to tier 2 with another championship or a few more solid seasons)

Anyone that can truly watch the Jordan mixtape put out by the NBA with an open mind and not recognize MJ as the GOAT should have their basketball card revoked.

 

[Michaelangelo]

prob should have asked "besides Mark Jord"

 

[Revolver]

LeGOAT James.

He also didn't get to 10 Finals because he got wiped out in the first or second round multiple times. The Bulls won 50 games when Jordan retired in '93. It literally makes no sense to subtract value from a player for failing to win in the Finals while glossing over the fact that such player actually made it there in the first place. Low IQ argument.

Mj by landslide how it should be

 

[WadeWatts]

If you actually watch basketball there is no real argument. Its Lebron James and its not really that close.

Every time Lebron left a team he took the the finals they became the worst team in the league. When Jordan left the Bulls still almost made the finals. Lebron does more with less than any player ever. You can add Lebron to any roster in the NBA any year and chances are he gets them to the finals. That does not work with Jordan. Lebron also lost to some of the best teams ever. Jordan's bull are probably not beating the Warriors teams that beat Lebron.

 

[Breakitdown]

lol @ these "results"

If the question was "biggest degenerate of all time" I'd understand LMAO

 

[I Fusion I]

Jordan, no contest.

But what Lebron did in his career is extremely impressive and puts him solidly as the 2nd best of all-time, imho.

Same thing

Same thing

Its super disrespectful to compare DeRozan to Michael Jordan, well done. You're wrong, but well done.

You're right, DeRozan played against actual talent.

Also not true but listen man. I can't argue with guys like you because you aren't a truth seeker, you have no interest in the truth, otherwise I would spend 15 or 20 minutes laying out the case as to why nobody is even remotely close to MJ, not even Lebron and you would wipe all that out with a quick 10 second snarky post. Its basically a waste of time.

It's obviously Jordan but it is B.S. that Manute Bol wasn't included.
