MJ at age 34:
Scoring champ
MVP
FMVP
All Defense 1st Team
Imagine the absolutely monumental difference between being the league worst defender at age 34 and first team All Defense.
Ponder that for a second, then add scoring champ, MVP and Finals MVP.

Lebron is pathetic.
Exposed.
Old man Larry Bird was better at 34 despite multiple debilitating injuries.
Even Kobe put in more effort.

Nope..Jordan was the same age Bron is now in the 1997 season, not 1998. He turned 34 in February 1997, LeBron turned 34 this past December.
Makes it even worse:roll:

And to cap it off, the championship clinching jumper. Can't make this up. GOAT.

Also, the 1997 MVP voting is one of the best examples of, "we're so sick of giving the MVP to one guy so we'll give it to another guy" examples ever.

Before you were even born, kiddo.
Just wondering why MJ and Brick stans are deathly allergic to FACTS. Honestly, outside 5-6 troll posts, I don't think I've EVER called LeBron the GOAT (only a top 3 or top 4 GOAT) or even the top 2 GOAT. Even in this thread, I was just pointing out how retarded it is to use age, when LeBron CLEARLY played a shit ton of minutes more than MJ and that's it. Why do those facts hurt your feeling, little man?
By far the most insecure people in the world (and by a massive margin) are MJ stans.
BTW, OP can you tell me what Jordan was doing during his 16th season?

Not after having won 2 bronze medals and lost 3 series with HCA including to Dwight Howard.

Jordan in his 14th and 15th season: Miss playoffs, averages 20ppg on 40% FG
LeBron in his 14th season: 33/9/8 54% Finals run
LeBron in his 15th season: 34/9/9 54% Finals run

LeBron's case for GOAT was over in 2011. That's being generous and discounting the massive choke job in 2007.

Jeff Hornacek was the second option of the second best team in the league ffs :roll:
I don't think LeBron has ever even faced a team with a second option as bad as Jeff Hornacek
