Bruh i don’t care who is better on the list of players . He simply responded saying that what is being done about MJ in this thread can be done for Lebron with other NBA players . You told him to make a list and he did that . You then cherry pick the list saying such and such isn’t as good as the other list. Even took two hall of famers from the list and said they didn’t like Mike .
The cherry picking to the point where Gary Payton didnt count because he doesnt consider him a top tier player is very werid to me lol.
Oh but he didn’t cherry pick Stephon Marbury off .
Anybody who watched the goat in his prime would not even entertain lebum in the ballpark !! Kobe ,Bird ,Magic and Chamberlain is better to me and its not even close!
Really? Those statements aren't from Bubba and Jimmy down the road. Those statements are from the best of the best who ever played the game.
Thats cool. Someone needs to support the poor man's MJ.
A goat conversation is never simply settled . How hard is that to understand ?
And yet you’re in here arguing about it so there is that .
Not really, the topic just comes up often and I'd never seen this list of greats giving their opinion. Its nearly impossible to argue against these guys.
"Bruh", that maybe the "gay-ist" response back from a male, I've ever read. I don't have anything against you at all but I'm not your brother. The 2 Hall of Famers definitely didn't say they didn't like Mike, they said Lebron was the Greatest. All you millennials can say what you will, but the old guys, me, know who was the best.
So what do you do when other NBA greats/players don’t name MJ? Your point would make sense if every single great named MJ. But even then it would still be “an opinion”.
Do you want us to get off your lawn while we are at it?
Absolutely, I don't let anyone on my lawn, especially when its been this wet. So, let me get this straight. Your argument was some former NBA players say Lebron was better and you quoted some. The best of those were Dr. J, Oscar Robinson and Isiah Thomas. The other guy quoted, Bird, Magic, Durant, the Logo, Olajuwon, etc. We didn't use Shaq, Iverson as they contradicted. We didn't use Barkley, KG, Isiah Thomas or Pippen as two of those hated MJ and you said 2 hated Lebron. So we can agree that "most" Hall of Famers, Dream Team members and NBA All Stars agree that its Jordan? Correct?
Who? Give me this big of a list from players of this level and it might mean something.
Huh? Payton made the 75th anniversary all NBA team. I’d say the top 75 out of over 4,500 players makes you elite.
I mean you can just read your own thread there is a list lol.
Isaiah is the least credible source he gave on the subject. He wasn’t on the Dream Team bc Jordan didn’t like him & didn’t want him on the team. MJ gave an ultimatum & said he was out if Isaiah was in. Isaiah has always held that against MJ & will always be bitter bc of it. And, they hated each other before that. So, Isaiah can’t be taken seriously on this topic. Laimbeer hated MJ, too, so idk about him, either. And, Pippen apparently has an inferiority complex bc of MJ & also has an axe to grind. Those 3 are compromised, IMO, &, shouldn’t be trusted. But, everyone else he listed is fine. I disagree with them, but, they are credible on this, at least.
Imagine thinking you know better than the guys what actually played with and against him. Several played against both and they all say MJ.
I mean the fact that Isiah had an axe to grind with MJ and Isiah still said MJ is the GOAT says a lot. Also, Pippen does say crazy things. Idk if he actually believes them or he just wants attention. But he’s gone on record several times saying MJ is the goat, so him acknowledging that despite whatever he was about later says a lot to me.
Don’t get how you translated to me thinking I know more .
According to the other guy’s post they all said LBJ was the GOAT. I was saying since they hate MJ you can’t really trust what they said. I agree with you. It’s MJ & it’s not close, IMO.
The Durant, Steph, Green, Klay warriors would run both of those teams out of the gym.
If you take that white pointy hat off you might be able to see the basketball games better. Only Bird would be in the top 10. In his prime he could beat a team with Jordan on it. The others you mentioned are not in the top 30.
It’s the political right thing to say but in regard of the two players to change the game it has to be Russell and Chambarlain. MJ never changed the game.
Do you know the dates when they said Jordan was the GOAT? If not, then it may be before Lebron had an argument and was earlier in his career. I personally don’t like the comparison cause the game changes so much and there are so many ways to look at things. For the record, I’m a Jordan fan and can’t stand Lebron. My personal opinion is both are great and arguments can be made for both.
