Anyways, to actually answer the question posed in this thread, these are mostly just examples of team dominance, where the losing player had a worse team and wasn’t in his best years yet/anymore. And honestly I don’t think either was really dominated when we really look at it. For Jordan, he never beat Bird in the playoffs, but he did individually outplay him in at least one of those series, even despite losing, so I don’t think we can say Bird dominated Jordan. For LeBron, he didn’t individually outplay Jokic in the two lost series, but LeBron’s Lakers did actually face Jokic’s Nuggets when LeBron was younger and had the superior team and Jokic wasn’t in his best years yet, and LeBron’s team won. I don’t think you can say Jokic dominated LeBron when LeBron’s team won 1 out of the 3 playoff series the two teams played. So my answer to the question would be to say neither, since I don’t think either player was actually “dominated.”
I already answered it, it's not my fault you can't comprehend.
again, my view is closely mirrors Ai's views. are you going to ask him why Jordan is his GOAT, when he clearly states why he is.
Go and read what he said, maybe multiple times, so you can understand what he really means, then maybe, just maybe you'll get it.
You refused to give any objective reasons why you think Jordan is the GOAT. Not a single one, even after being asked repeatedly to do so. Only squishy subjective things about your life that have no bearing at all on how good a player Jordan was, and which are obviously things that have no persuasive value whatsoever. And that is as a poster who spends most of his posts bashing Jordan, but tries to give that bashing more credibility by simply stating that Jordan is your GOAT. You say it, but clearly can’t bring yourself to actually post any objective reasons why Jordan is the greatest or why he is objectively greater than LeBron. I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on here.
If you are a true MJ fan, you don't need another MJ fan to tell you how good he was.
Problem with you is, and most delusional MJ/90s fan, you can't accept facts that players get better. Lebron is the better overall player, another player in the near future will surpass LeBron as the best overall basketball player, and that is ok, just nature of sports and athlete evolution. It happens in every sport, basketball is not exempt from it.
Unlike you, I appreciate all players and don't hate on any.
I don't bash Jordan, I just point out that he wasn't perfect and all the delusional fans like yourself can't handle it.
That is why I revel when I get people like you in their feelings about 90s basketball and thinking MJ was a mythical creature. Cause no matter how you try to twist it, you can't win an argument when you are presented with facts, and you are coming back with myths and legends.
No matter how good players get, now or in the future, There will never be a player that had an impact on me than MJ did, that is why he is my GOAT and if you can't wrap your mind around that, that is on you not me.
