    I bodied this one.Unlike you O.G. is old enough to witness kareem and jordan and he said Jordan was the goat.

    You only have grainy vhs/youtube footage which is why you run the wheaties/nike angle.I'll take someones word who witnessed both players your opinion is irrelevant.

    ? need to stop using that ring argument in debates too, because i don't see what team accomplishments have to do with individual greatness. Too much ? goes into winning rings that's out of your control.

    Co-Sign to the fullest. In Baseball and Football, ring logic is almost never given in any argument. People compare Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds based on their individual greatness. No one is going to sit there and say Hideki Matsui is a better outfielder than Ken Griffey Jr. because he got a ring and was the 09 World Series MVP.

    Same with Football. No one in their right mind thinks Trent Dilfer is a better quarterback than Dan Marino, or Roger Craig is a better running back than Barry Sanders because of rings.

    I know in basketball, a star can have more of an impact because of small rosters and playing offense and defense on the floor, but it is still a team game. Would anyone like to make the claim that Derek Fisher is a better player than John Stockton because of his 5 rings? Of course not...

    But when it comes to Jordan... ESPN loves to tell you that 6 rings and 2 3peats are all that matter... Until you bring up Russell's 11 and his 8peat... Then it's about MVPs... Until you bring up Jabbar having more regular season MVPs... Then it's about scoring and ppg... Until you bring up Chamberlain... Then it's about Finals MVPs...

    And don't bother talking about LeBron, because then it goes back to Rings... The narrative in mainstream media always changes to favor Jordan. If Lebron were to get 7 rings, 7 Finals MVPs, and 6 Season MVPs, the narrative would be "But he didn't get 10 scoring titles." If LeBron got those as well, then it would be "Well he never won defensive player of the year!"


    And if, by some miracle, LeBron gets all the physical hardware that puts him above Jordan once and for all, Stephen A. would still be ? riding Jordan, saying "Jordan never played a game 7 in the Finals" or "Lebron is 7 for 11 and Michael is 6 for 6," as if getting to the Finals and losing is somehow a discredit and failure on LeBron's part, regardless of ? / under powered teams.

    Again, Jordan is Top 5 in my personal list, but I just can't stand how basketball is the only sport that fails to acknowledge the progress and evolution of its game to protect its biggest commercial star of the past.

    Jordan has become the Hulk Hogan of the NBA. Yes he was that dude 20 years ago, but because of the money he generates with his branding, no one else is allowed to get over and the new guys are always compared to him negatively.

    How old are you again?

    If you started watching basketball in 1990.....nah. You say nothing.

    And you forget that statement came after this:

    MJ dropped 43 at age 40(oldest ever),dropped 40 points bacc to bacc(oldest ever)Averaged the highest ppg at age 39 and 40 and dropped 51 at age 38(oldest ever).He dominated more than kareem did when he was young and old

    6 mvp's in 20 years ? ? I can divide.Jordan got 5 in 10 years.Jordan dominated his era
    Me wrote:
    Don't do that game. You won't win.

    You're based how many MVP Kareem won in his whole career to a period when Mike won his? What kind of reasoning is that. Based off your logic, I could say one of two statements:

    1) Kareem won six MVPs in a span of ten seasons of his "prime"; 71-72, 74, 76-77, and 80.

    or

    2) Mike won five MVPs over a span of 17 seasons of his career (this includes taking time out for his "retirements")

    I can divide too, ? .

    The short view - Prime years
    KAJ - 10 years for 6 MVPs = 1.66 seasons for every award
    MJJ - 10 years for 5 MVP = 2 seasons for every award
    (This is their prime)

    overall careers
    KAJ - 20 years for 6 MVPs = 3.33 seasons for every award
    MJJ - 17 years for 5 MVPs = 3.4 seasons



    Either way, you lost this round. Math don't lie.


    Try again, Spacejammer.

    Lebron said he's chasing that ghost in chicago.

    When it's all said and done lebron will have a case for the goat and the only legit comparison to jordan.

    Not kareem sorry,kareem may be the best big of all time tho

    Jabbar had the GOAT career.
    Russell had the GOAT team.
    Jordan was the GOAT player.
    Lebron is this eras GOAT player.

    This. Nobody is saying Lebron can't catch Jordan, Just saying he needs to do some more ? before he can. Until that happens it's not a convo imo.
