Best of all time to add to a poor team: LeBron
His style of play and record of deep runs compared with MJ’s without Pippen
Best of all time to add to a medium team: Jordan
Give him a Pippen and nobody stops him
Best of all time to add to a good team: Curry
His insane efficiency and spacing. He should be 1st pick and would be the point of difference on any all time 5v5 scenario.
The GOAT Larry bird; won MVP, COY, and EOY. Could add him in as a player, coach, or GM and he’ll kill it
Jerry West?
He’s good too. He hasn’t won COY since though. Currently Larry Bird is the only winner of all 3 MVP, COY, and EOY awards. Achieved the highest level of achievement in all 3 areas of the NBA
Chris Paul is up there with Bron
I still remember jordan leaving the bulls and them still winning a shit ton of games and making a deep playoff run.
Lebron that one year left the cavs and they had like 18 wins the whole season after.
There’s levels to this. Lebron goat
Tbf going from 3 straight chips to a competitive second round exit is a a crazy falloff.
Jordan bulls 6 rings > lebrons cavs 1 ring
Big difference when comparing
Jordan played 35 Finals games… never once got more than 5 steals on the biggest stage - 7 ring Horry did. Horry GOAT? Or could selective context to prove a predetermined point be a bit silly?
Im pretty sure his point was that while Jordans team did better without him, they also did better with him. It was simply a better team than Lebrons Cavs.
Bulls won 6 rings and went out in the 2nd round without Jordan. Cavs won 1 ring and missed the playoffs without Lebron. Huge dropoff in both cases.
Obviously, there is more context than this for both of their situatios, but I think you missed his main point.
The comment reduced the whole argument purley to number of rings, disregarding any other context. It’s right there in black and white.
Then you reinterpret it with paragraphs of context you presume to know he “meant”, but I missed?
Its not really hard to comprehend, those added paragraphs was for you, so you would understand, which is still seems like you dont.
The guy he replied to said Bulls was still good without Jordan while Cavs was trash without Lebron. His response is that the Bulls also had much more success with Jordan than the Cavs did with Lebron. Do you get it now?
The fact that he said “1 Cavs ring” instead of “4 Lebron rings” should have been a clear indicator for you that he is simply responding to the point made in the comment above him lol.
