DK got gentleman's swept out of the first round by the ing Bucks. That includes him choking in Game 1 and blaming a "toothache" as his excuse.
A good question I almost included the 2009 magic but lebron played well had a gamewinner so I figured the blind winesses would make excuses and my point was only that LeBron has struggled plenty despite being bigger stronger faster than MJ.
That's true.
facts. Both have struggles on their resume ...
but Jordan led two 3 peats ...
LEbron one Ray allen 3 away from no repeats.
The health, longer prime, the Finals streak all favor LeBron ...
But Jordan dominated the Finals like no one else in the modern (magic/Bird era and after) era of the NBA.
LeBron would have dominated those pretenders that DK was playing too. There's a reason why DK ducked Hakeem like Manny ducked Floyd all those years, tbh.
Kemp would match up very well with lebron defensively. Just as tall (taller actually), slightly stronger and almost as quick. For all the talk about lebron being Pippen on steroids, he was more like magic in the body of kemp.
Rodman would give lebron all kinds of problems as well. So would Pippen. Look, I’d Diaw had a chance against lebron, Jose three will be able to defend him without double team.
Jordan would make Durant cry and quit before game one.
keep in mind this guy ^ thought shaq would be boban today
Jordan has never been upset in the playoffs.
The series you were talking about was when Jordan was a rookie, the Bucks won 59 games and were a legit team.
Lebron as a rookie couldn’t even make the playoffs.
If I think this highly of today’s game, then I guess I should have said lebron would dominate. But I didn’t. Go figure.
So LeBron thinks the league is too soft, but after bulldozing over people he he wants the call on any ticket tac contact that he initiated.
good points on last two posts Amb ..
You always on point when not obsessed.
it was more a knock on your ability to think, in general
Jordan should have been upset in the playoffs but Stern made sure that didn't happen
People forget or are to young to recall Jordan actually had to fight the league even more so than Iverson. The first Jordans were outlawed as a uniform violation, he was admonished fir the gold chains and nike jumpsuit he wore to all star weekend. He was resented by players and froze out by Isiah in all star game...league was resisting Nike because they were loyal to Converse league didnt even know what they had until Gatorade and Nike built Jordan off the court ...so bull on they helped him early on ...i dont buy conspracies but at least its semi plausible post baseball retirement ...before that he wasnt beloved universally especially before the first 3peat
LeBron is a bad dude, admittedly, but I don't see him tryna dominate/intimidate/humiliate players like MJ did. Just a little snippet reminder why MJ's the GOAT:
I actually was rooting for James to supplant Mj as GOAt partly cuz i dont like his personality and partly because his worshippers act like its sacrilege to compare anyone to him.
Obviously Kareem got the 2nd best resume ...but outside of rings Lebron has come closest to Jordan since he retired...he is a great player and GOAT SF ...just not the best ever ...that's Jordan whether I like him or not ...
this teminds me of NFL fans trying to argue Peyton better than Montana and Brady based off stats and MVP trophies ...
love peyton he and Lebron got stats on stats on stats ...
but neither are the GoAt ...

at comparing LeGOAT to Peyton. Peyton spent his whole career going one-and-done with stacked teams. LeGOAT has spent his career dragging trash to Finals appearances and rings. Peyton was a known choke artist, LeGOAT is money in the clutch. Peyton had rules changed in his favor to pad his stats, LeGOAT plays in an era where the officiating is biased against players his size and up.
2011 Finals decided LeBron’s fate for me as a GOAT candidate. He disappeared and deferred in the 4th Q. He is a great great player, but does not have the mental toughness of Jordan, or Duncan for that matter. He’s better than only a handful of players in the history of ever, but just not THE best.
LeBron is greater than Peyton for sure ...i said the argument reminds me of ..
but you have to admit ike James Manning's numbers are insane ...
but of course you make excuses for LeBron, Manning fans do the same ...
Lol Wade is trash arguably the 3rd best SG in modern NBA?!
Or Kyrie is trash who averaged 28 pts in a NbA Finals?
that trash?
which Jordan teammate ever average 28 in a series or was a finals mvp?
2007 when i thought he would be the Goat he did drag trash through a weak conference and ethered the Pistons ...its part of why he in the convo ...he did more with less than Jordan, sure. But in 2011 he did less with more ...no way Jordan loses that Finals...
Even Eddie House his former teammate said the same thing ...they was looking for the LeBron thst was MVp he was nowhere to be found.
