Rings arent the end all..... every player who has rings isnt great. The thing is.... Jordan was the reason for the rings. The same way Brady is the reason for his team's rings. Take Brady off the pats and they suck.Quote:

Jordan had 6 rings.... he never lost in an NBA finals.... Jordan probably could have had 8-9 rings... Jordan never got dethroned, he just put the ball down.
i think people want another Jordan so bad that they try to convince themselves that Lebron is that..... well.... he's not.

WHAT!! And youre a CHICAGO FAN?????Quote:

Jordan = GOAT. Period.
After Jordan, id say Magic, then Kobe.
LBJ isnt even in the conversation yet. LBJ will have more MVPs than MJ, i doubt more titles.
BWAHAHAHAHHA i was dumb young and barely into sports...all i know is MJ and Bulls...truthfully until the last 2 years i didnt really start watching basketball.
Example Bill Russell and Robert Horry. Both have more championships then Jordan.Quote:

And the best/most clutch kicker in the nfl helps as well. Just saying.Quote:

" Michael Jordan retired before the 1993-94 season, and in his absence Pippen emerged from Jordan's shadow. That year, he earned All-Star Game MVP honors and led the Bulls in scoring, assists, and blocks, and the league in steals, averaging 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, while shooting 49.1% from the field and a career-best 32% from the 3-point line. For his efforts, he earned the first of three straight All-NBA First Team selections, and he finished third in MVP voting. The Bulls finished the season with 55 wins, only two fewer than the year before."
BTW..... If jordan and the bulls had met the bad boy pistons in their primes. He wouldn't have 6 rings. Wanna know why he's never lost in the FINALS..... because isiah and the pistons beat their ass in 89-90 and sent them HOME! and blew them out of the gym....
93-74..... the great jordan cant help his "team" get more then 74 points.
Jordan is not invincible. Lebron is a better ALL AROUND player then Jordan. But would I take him over jordan in a one on one, NO! If im building a ALL NBA HISTORY team im picking him first because I know im getting more then points and great defense.Quote:

I just think the league is way to competitive now, LBJ wont win 6 titles. Not unles he plays until hes 40-42
We can tell.Quote:

i wouldnt say breeze. Celtics got YOUNG, and they will be there all year. Indiana? Brooklyn? 76Ers? Hawks?Quote:

Jordan was GREAT, and people say the GOAT. But look at the people guarding him in those video's. LMAO. You blow past chris mullen and dunk on mark jackson, very inpressive. NOT.Quote:

Oh, and that pesky injury thing. LBJ is superior in the injury dept for now. Rose, well, we know how that is
Jordan had to deal with hand checking , but LBJ has to deal with zones.Quote:

If cp3 leaves, where the hell is HE going to go? If its not miami or OKC then he's fooling himself. He will be right where he is, he doesnt want to play for the LAL with their old ass starting lineup and roster.Quote:

Frankly i watch some of the games with Jordan in his prime vs Utah, some of his moves are just insane. No one has the touch like MJ had
