Really the only reason the lebron goat debate goes on is because Jordan has beef he still refuses to let go.

The only reason their is a goat debate is because lebron claims to be the goat to ne it’s disrespectful to other nba great to out right call you self the goat the man doesn’t have a goat because they have several great nba players that takes claim to that title site mj kobe magic wilt kaj etc may say their the goat but not to a camera or on social media they keep to them selfs but not the diva lebron so yeah that’s why theirs a goat discussion

Jordan genuinely loved Kobe, if you listened to what he said at his funeral it's obvious. Yeah, he has an easily bruised ego and has been a terrible owner. But the man isn't so insecure as to make a documentary just to make himself feel better.

As a Hornets fan I just wished he actually cared about the team and was willing to swallow his pride and open his checkbook so the team could be successful. His legacy would improve a lot if he did that, a lot more than putting out the Last Dance anyway. I don't think it's in the cards though unfortunately.

What do you mean by open up his checkbook? Didn't he want to sign the best free agents?


He may have wanted to in the past, but he doesn't care now. But where he's the cheapest is elsewhere in the organization. The Hornets have had the league's lowest paid coaching and training staff the entire time he's been the owner.


To be fair to Jordan, that's completely in-line with his push against "Players don't win championships, organizations do." :lol:

Really weird posts in here as well. Not everyone who doesn't like Jordan is a LeBron stan... That also comes off as insecure
Spot on here, but you're howling at the moon sadly. They don't realize the level in which they're projecting....and never will. Too blinded by their fandom.

No he isn’t. I’ll never forgive him for that MJ day ****, wasn’t even his birthday. It was just because Bron was taking the scoring record. Not a Kyrie fan, but glad he ruined ‘his day’!

He may not be the best GM but he's a smart business man.

Look for LeBron staying relevant like this after player retirement too.

Only fans are insecure, these athletes are making money hand over fist and are deified.

Lebron will speak up for causes and also speak on politics so, yes, his quotes and interviews will be out there long after he stops playing.

This needed to be regurgetated as the Jordan fans have gotten out of control.

Read this article and made me think

https://aedmonds503.medium.com/thanks-to-michael-jordans-insecurities-we-re-getting-a-20-year-old-documentary-d23206263c30

We have done endless polls around here and everyone still picks him year after year as the Goat. He is part of what made the NBA so popular.

I don't understand why he is so threatened by Lebron. The whole last dance thing really made me dislike him to the point where I'd rather build a team around Tim Duncan . He made fun of Jerry Krause weight even though he was a better gm than Jordan ever has been and has his son date scotties x. He just does a lot of petty stuff and isn't sorry for it deep down.

Alot of people have smoke with him. Charles Barkley nice enough not to air out his laundry dirty from gambling. He also has Charles Oakley go out there and insult Isiah Thomas. Even though I don't like Isiah from his Knicks antics I feel he ain't trying to hold on to old beef.

So where does the insecurity really stem from. He was also an excellent defender. Probably one of the best. Really the only reason the lebron goat debate goes on is because Jordan has beef he still refuses to let go. I mean as whiney as lebron is I would say he is probably a better teammate to have.

At the end of the day lebron is just a dude that tried to make a success out of his life despite not having a father and making the mistakes when you don't have that in.life. Jordan of all people should understand how important his father was to him.
.


I have MJ ranked ahead of Duncan but obviously I'm biased and would rather build a team around Duncan than Jordan. With Duncan you get nearly 20 years of just winning and no drama.

Wait how does Jordan being “insecure” about his legacy have anything to do with what his fans write on a forum? And its quite the opposite we have multible bumped/created threads about 1 game from Lebron fans, so does that mean that Lebron is insecure about his legacy??? :-?
