Agree with this guy? Yes or No? I think he is 100% right here.


Now I've heard it all. Lebron fans are beyond insane. And yes at this point Nick Wright is just a Lebron fan not a serious journalist.

The Olympics matter but are such a miniscule part of the GOAT argument. They shouldn't change anyone's opinion on who the GOAT is. Both sides do keep fishing though.

Yeah I agree but also winning with a Superteam the whole 90's with the best Point Forward Defender of all time doesn't really show greatness, especially while having the Greatest coach of all time

You're an example of someone who keeps fishing lol
Having one allstar teammate is a superteam now

Michael won a gold as the best player on an amateur winning team. Lebron never did that.

90's Teams never had a better overall team and talent and coaching compared to the 90's Bulls

It's just facts

[FreeBird23]

Nick Wright...

It says it all.

[ReddoverKobe]

lol

All you can really say.

Now you know how ridiculous it looks when you guys compare Lebron to Jordan.

He’s a a lot closer to those guys than Jordan and many players still call Kobe better… who was considered the better player through 2009 anyway, including by lebron himself.

The jordan cult is still malding I see

93 Suns had a better team then the Bulls

I’ll be glad when a few weeks pass and the Olympics are forgotten. They’ve been a good excuse for all the Identity GOATers to create a slew of not so well disguised GOAT debate threads. The stickied thread had been doing its job well.

No chance, plus Bulls had a way better coach

Nick Wrong is at it again.

Michael won a gold as the best player on an armature winning team. Lebron never did that.

Have to agree with this. MJ still won on an amateur roster.

Olympic golds matter. But we can't forget that the 2004 Olympic team struggled with LBJ. It wasn't until Kobe joined in 2008 where Team USA turned into a forever super team.

In the end, USA basketball is still miles ahead of other countries, to the point where there's no excuse of getting no gold.

lol okay. They won a league best 62 games and had the league MVP. They had a starting lineup of All Stars Dan Majerle, Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson. Had 4 players average 15+ pgg and 7 average 10+ pgg. The Suns averaged 113 ppg best int he league, next closet was Seattle at 108.

Honestly I don't even know why anyone would even mention Jordan and Lebron in the same sentence other than maybe to laugh at Lebron. Jordan wasn't just some big freak of nature dude. The man had BASKETBALL talent. Not a great shooter but still had so much basketball talent.

[warriorschamps]

I mean could you imagine Jordan being held to 8 points in an NBA Finals game by 5'10 JJ barera. Yeah I couldn't either.

So why were the Bulls favored to win that year?

I mean could you imagine Jordan being held to 8 points in an NBA Finals game by 5'10 JJ barera. Yeah I couldn't either.

Neither was LeBron.

Just gonna say that this is a ridiculous take as well.
LeBron is a fine choice for your GOAT. I disagree and will argue it for fun, but to act like LeBron doesn't have a case or isn't anywhere close is ridiculous.

[Stannis]

It's a two way street. Do the medals look good? Yes.

But 2004 to 2006 run looks awful too. I believe it wasn't until Kobe joined and turned them into the "redeem team" and then they started finally winning the FIBAs and Golds again.
