"James's next challenge is one he's faced before - to repeat. It's all new to the Cavaliers"
"It's a personal goal," James told The Associated Press on Monday. "I just never brought it up"

Delusional fucks that think he passed Jordan. He can be number 3 though.

Not ridiculous for him to say that. He's a professional basketball player and it is his duty to be the best that he can possibly be. He has the physical tools and basketball intelligence, but I don't think he could.
He really could have spent a few years in college to work on the leadership element of his game rather than trying to learn it at an NBA level. It wasn't fair for him.

He's trying to match Jordan's accomplishments by team-hopping around the league every few years to play with the best talent.

He never brought it up because he wasn't even sure he'd get the one, tbh.

if he gets a fifth MVP and repeat beating this super stacked GS team again--or just the latter-- i think you are going to see few really respectable NBA figures putting him over Jordan and steer the debate, notwithstanding 6>4..

It's that 4th & 5th NBA Titles that drives SF, especially the 5th. They thought he was gonna lose that, then Perkins fell over and the slaves were freed.
They had the chance to eclipse Kobe in '13/'14 & ended up having to win their 5th NBA Title twice.
That kind of reality has indeed left SF obsessed, even pathological.

He'll never be recognized in that kind of light because he played in an absolutely embarrassing era of eastern conference basketball, and still does. Switching teams a couple times is not looked upon fondly either, but at least if he tried his hand in the West we'd have a better idea how great he could be. Which conference you choose to play in--and how you perform in it--goes a long way to determining your mettle, imo. Tim Duncan could've had easy trips to the Finals every year if he chose Orlando. KG couldn't handle the west and wanted an easier route...so did Melo. Lebron James and Vince Carter (in his prime) wanted no part of the WC grind. Other players who we thought might be great (T-Mac, Dwert, etc) were revealed for what they truly are in the WC playoffs.

Just like how Kobe and Kareem couldn't handle small markets and forced their way out.

David Robinson was in Dwert/T-Mac territory, but credit to him for recognizing that he was an awful big-game performer and a playoff loser--so he embellished his injury and paved the way for a true franchise player.
Silly gook...

You are right, a move to bigger markets worked Kobe and Kareem's name up, otherwise, Kobe will be Carter level and Kareem will be Moses level. We all know how the media loves to hype up big market names because writers are fans too.
Could you imagine Kobe's "clutch" image would be if he decided to not shoot in the second half of a game 7 or shoot 6-24 in a Finals Game 7? Oh wait, he did, but it was swept under the rug because he plays for LA.
You seemed to have a lot of pent up anger against East Asians in general, I assume you didn't dodge the draft like Thread did and got your ass kicked?

But did Jordan ever defeat a team in the Finals on the level of the '13 Spurs or '16 Warriors? Seems to me it's not even a close comparison in that context. The zenith of James' accomplishments so far are extremely impressive.
He did need a good amount of luck to get those two wins, but it's in the books and he was undeniably dominant/clutch.
