No free pass for MJ picking a terrible team after the Pippen Bulls. He only did that to hide the fact he couldn't Win a Ring with new decent team and being the underdog smh.

He also ran away when Hakeem and the Rockets would've Spanked him back to back

LeBron went to the worse dysfunctional team in the league at the time "Lakers" and still won a Championship

No free pass for Jordan

Honesty, whatever happens to Bron and the Lakers this postseason, it is damn impressive what he is still doing. He could easily sign for the MLE on a contender and they could destroy the league. But instead, he is still trying to be a go to option even at age 39 and I respect that.

I guess MJ should’ve taken the “warriors way” and used his shadow agency to help force another top 10 player to get traded to the Wizards in 2002, oh wait…

Lol at LeBald fans claiming that sorry Mickey Mouse ring with no memorable moments to be remembered whatsoever!!! Same as his 2012 shortened season ring, nobody cares!

Heck his only memorable Finals moment was the block on Iguodala in 2016 which pales in comparison to any MJ Finals moment from 1991 to 1998 which are still the highest rated and most remembered by basketball fans worldwide.

Jordan wasn't winning anything after the Pippen Bulls
Shaq/Kobe Lakers would've destroyed any team Jordan joined and Pop Duncan Spurs we're also going to spank him in any Finals. Just admit that your boy can't win without Phil and Pippen

Shaq and Kobe would’ve never won anything had the Diesel not gone to Montana and beg Phil to join them in LA, they were too busy getting their clocks cleaned by the old as dirt Malone/Stockton Jazz which were later on spanked by the greatest lol: Same thing with Duncan never winning anything without Pop! At least MJ was 2 games away from the Finals in 1989 with Doug Collins as his coach giving the Bad Boys all they could handle in the ECF!

Jordan was not gonna join another superstar for cheap rings after 1998 like your boy LeBaldo, that’s why nobody respects him

2 games away from the Finals lol MJ failed
LeBron dragged the 2007 YMCA Cavs to the Finals vs Pop Duncan Spurs!!! Y'all do realize MJ is bald?


"Jordan's hairline was receding at the age of 25 yrs old, so he decided to just shave it all. He did have some stubble until 1990 but was basically without hair in 1988 lmao your dude MJ was worse than LeBron even with his Hair!!!

The reality is that MJ was a system player and couldn't or wouldn't even try to win and prove he can win without Pippen & Phil Jackson

You can pretend the Bulls weren't the 2017 Warriors but they were for their era. The 80s trams had broken up and the salary cap rules meant every team had two stars and a bunch of role players. Thanks to MJ and Pippen signing bad deals they were able to add at various times Rodman, Grant, Kukoc and Harper.

The Bulls won 55 games with Pippen and Grant. Two All-Stars. You couldn't keep a team like that together today.

Will you admit that much?

People “conveniently” forget that 1994 was a down year for the NBA with no clear cut dominant teams establishing themselves making it the most wide open season from 1980 to 1998.

Heck the 94’ Hawks led by the post Achilles ruptured Dominique Wilkins along with Blaylock and Augmon tied the Knicks for the best record in the East with 57 wins The Bulls would’ve beaten them in the playoffs easily specially with the addition of Tony Kukoc who without his late game heroics Chicago would’ve only won 52 games in the regular season and most likely gotten swept by the Knicks in the second round!

Let’s also “conveniently” forget the LeBald played virtually his whole career in a historically bad Eastern Conference matched only by the 80’s West and was only able to get over older versions of already overrated teams like the Pistons and Celtics when they got really old not to mention a 36 y/o Tim Duncan in 2013!

MJ had to deal with prime Bird’s Celtics and Bad Boy Pistons for the first 7 years of his career with a much worse squad but always managed to give Detroit a tough matchup even in defeat. However, unlike LJ he didn’t quit and go join other superstars like a coward, he stuck it out and got better every year until finally he got to the top. That’s why he’s the greatest among a ton of other things.

Shaq, Kobe, Duncan and LeBald had to wait for the great 90’s teams and players to get old or retire for them to have a chance not to mention quite a few offensive friendly rules to make life a heck of a lot easier for offensive players thus creating the “Chuck and Duck” soccer mom friendly soft NBA you see now before your eyes which nobody that has seen what real basketball looks like really respects 8-)
Okay, so can't accept anything. Cool. Bye bye.

Of course :crazy: You can’t have it both ways. You can’t stroke Lebron when he has a nice game or breaks some cumulative stats record and then let him off of the hook when he stinks it up in the playoffs by reminding people he’s 39. Typical response from a Lebron homer.

Yeah you absolutely can. Cope.

I'm glad you admit Jordan Won his rings like Durant & Curry being the best Duo in the league aka fake rings

Being the best team and winning is not really impressive
Beating a 73-9 Team that broke MJ's best season record
Is truly impressive which LeBron achieved

Miami Rings we're earned vs Legendary Pop/ Duncan Spurs & 3 MVP's in the same team OKC Thunder

Cavs Rings vs The Team that broke Jordans All time a season win record BiG 3 Warriors

The only ring that is similar to MJ's is the Miami Heat
Championship. They still had to go thru Jokic/Murray Nuggets in the WCF!

Beating the Jazz with that Bulls Team was cake walk
Beating a Retirement home Lakers was pathetic
Beating the Sonics was unimpressive whatsoever
Beating the Suns & Barkley was Weak

MJ won all his rings with a homegrown sidekick which he groomed since 1987 waiting patiently for his development specially after things looked bleak with PiP’s no show in game 7 of the 1990 ECF due to migraines from to much pressure.

All of LeBaldo’s forgettable rings came after joining or recruiting other all-star players which is the most pathetic way of winning there is and even then he’s still gotten his as! Kicked 6 out of 10 times playing in this rule altered soft as tissue paper NBA, ridiculous!

MJ beat more 60 win teams than anybody in history and just the fact that the overrated Thunder with cupcake Durant and Russell Dumbrook as their two best players even got to a Finals shows how weak the the post 1998 NBA had gotten. All of MJ’s Final opponents were better than OkC and the Spurs in 2013 which were led by a 36 y/o Tim Duncan.
