"Daddy I don't want to play. I have cramps"
Jordan as Goat resulted in a lot of egotisitcal one on one players, criminals, awful teammates, selfish players etc..
If lebron becomes GOAT, you will have kids that look up to players that pass the ball, defend, a good family man, doesn't gamble..
He's a top 5 player of all time, and IMO if he wins another ring and wins 4 total as the best player..
IMO, he should be considered GOAT.
If the spurs lose this year, It would be sad...But I think I'd be really happy for Lebron.
"Daddy I don't want to play. I have cramps"
....said Dad Killer in the 1997 Finals.
overall he's good for the sport, but joining up with other superstars forever ed his legacy.
not to mention, he still hasn't overcome his toughest opponent....
Everyone liked MJ. No one likes LeBron. For the obvious reasons....PEDs, The Decision, etc....
The "obvious reasons" are the rise of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, as well as the trend towards blatant trolling of athletes in sports media (such as First Take) instead of the jocksniffing that Dad Killer received, tbh.... DK never faced the level of Media scrutiny that LeBron faced and there was no Twitter to expose his gambling addiction and the terrible way he treated his teammates to the widest possible audience....
Btw, not everybody liked Dad Killer, but before social media, it was easier for Media to pretend that everyone loved an athlete and try to make it true by reporting nothing but positive stories....
Jordan played a large part in hurting the game of basketball by spawning an entire generation of ISO-ball, tbh..
Most kids are unaware that he's one of the biggest pieces of on the planet and one of the worst teammates ever, so I don't think that matters, tbh..
Lebron is one of the most unselfish players of all-time, and he's leading an era of basketball that promotes ball-movement, skill and complex systems/schemes..hopefully his success will help influence more team-oriented stars, going forward..
He's like Magic Johnson + defense and without Aids..
If Jordan played in the social media era, everybody would know how much of an ass he is.
And he let you know it after 91 didn't he?
PEDs and the "decision"...
Michael Jordan hasn't played ball in 11 years and the younger generation still go bat crazy over him.
gotta be the shoes! $$$$$

Media still slurps him to this day because Stern leaned so heavily on Dad Killer as a crutch for the league's marketing, so it's not a surprise that casual fans still buy in....
Let's not pretend like DK wasn't on steroids and PED's, first of all.... second of all, The Gambling Suspension trumps The Decision....
MJ never showed the cro-magnon signs that Lebron is exhibiting. THe Decision is seen by many non-Asians as made, MJ's gambling problems are a personal matter.
What "cro-magnon signs"? LeBron is one of the highest-IQ players in the sport
LeBron is kind of a egotistical ...But on the court and even when interviewed he is intelligent relatively well spoken and is absolutely one of the best team players in NBA history only Magic and Russel and maybe Timmy can be argued as a better teammate that was also a truly great player.
I already was a closet LeBron fan and the cramp episode and target whining was disturbing but when he is balling he is part Magic part MJ a true GOAT candidate. He just does some things that I hate but in the court guy is soo great.
Kang's ego is also overblown.... he made some PR mistakes in the past, but at least he's being himself instead of adopting a fake-ass public persona like DK, Kirby, or Durbeta....
i'm surprised people buy that too
The Lebron App is a nice touch, too, tbh..it allows fans/kids to relate to him and feel like they know him personally..it's pretty awesome..
Also, he went to the movies alone in San Antonio on Saturday night and politely interacted with fans that asked for autographs, etc..if that was Jordan, he would have literally pissed on any fan that was anywhere near him, tbh, unless they were a rich White man..
Chose n one tattoo speaking in third person I could go on, but I would be a hypocrite to hate him for those foibles when Kobe and MJ are even more egotistical and more selfish on the court. Yes I wish LeBron had more killer in him like mj or Kobe heck even like Magic or Isiah but if he did the NBA would be boring. It's like Shaq's laziness other teams are lucky LeBron was not the ass MJ was or he would already be GOAT tbh
A Kirbystan is really going to question someone else's injuries and accuse them of whining? Nobody has faked more injuries or whined harder to the media than Kirby
"No tweeting and 3peating"
I have to agree with the posters above. If Lebron stayed in Cleve and played jogo bonito there then he'd be the most loved baller in history.
unfortunately he quit and joined the Heat, THE TEAM WITH NBA's worst fanbase tbh. And he also joined 2 superstars. that turned off the public for good. imo
if anyone is to blame, it's him imo
hater with the goods for once....
