Solid leading his team to the second round, with a 27/7/8 stat line. What was MJ doing at 41? Not playing basketball whatsoever and failing to even make the playoffs his last two years.

P
if a person isn’t putting the all time leading scorer in addition to the other accolades into his top five at a minimum; that person has an ax to grind and isn’t being rational or worth engaging with.

Im a Celtics fan.All the players that have been mentioned are great players.
But I Loved watching Larry Bird, the best trash talker in basketball and Backed it up. He was Fun to watch.
Nuff said!

He surpassed Jordan while taking over 1000 less shots. Why?

I guess all the crying and self proclaiming is a turn off. The great ones let there peers determine greatness not themselves imo.

Is Jordan even a top 5 scorer?

Probably not but the point was Bron is way more efficient. Plus a vastly superior passer and rebounder. So he may not be your GOAT but if he’s not a top five or even three, logic has left the building.

And look at the defense then vs now those guys would've killed Lebron. Different times.
Ok.
Nick, like I said you don't have to like him. His accomplishments can't be ignored. I am a Jordan fan. He had plenty of good help along the way. The thing that sets him above James for me is the killer instinct he had. But, I recognize greatness when I see it. mtmuley

Greatness for sure. My argument is not the GOAT. Not all stats are the same when comparing different eras or time played.

Respect him for what he does on the court. Absolutely 0 respect off the court. Another celebrity or sports figure that likes to complain and run their mouth about stuff but never seems to put their money to help situations.
The Hick from French Lick! Cool little town, all time great player.All the players that have been mentioned are great players.

I still remember his free throw streak when I was a kid.
A competitors competitor.
