he really isn't.. he got owned in 'scoring' by Durant in game 1 of the finals and then redeemed himself with great passing to shooters and cutters. That's why they won.. spurs forced LeBron to score and not pass and he froze up both times. MJ >>> as a scorer.Originally Posted by ArbitraryWater

Heck when MJ won 6 there was probably 1 fgt saying "Russell still has nearly twice the amount of rings"
and playing baseball is his dad's dream,why not

Re: What does LeBron need to do to be accepted as the GOAT?
he can't do anything.
his game is way too ugly.
he's 2/5.
he lacks skill and fundamentals.
he's a ring chaser (at a young age which is unheard of for a superstar).
he doesn't dominate in the face of adversity.
his assists are less than impressive - most of them consist of driving and kicking to a three point shooter... give me a break.
and last but not least, his fan base is just terrible.

completely disrespectful. If you hate MJ, just say it, there's a lot of people that do just that.

Re: What does LeBron need to do to be accepted as the GOAT?
And MJ got owned in 'scoring' by SHAWN KEMP in game 1 of the finals... and in game 2 AGAIN.. AND game 4... and in game 6 by Detlef Schrempf. What kind of bullshit argument is that? Originally Posted by tpols

LeBron in 2012 was at his peak, and easily could have averaged 32+...
He scored 40 and 45 in the 2 biggest games of the season ffs.
Back to this... Why wouldn't MJ win in 2006?
I mean, LeBron had a 3-2 lead on the Pistons in the ECSF, but couldn't close it out.
Game 6 at home, lost by 2 while LeBron goes for 32 on 40%. Get blown out in Game 7.
Who's to say MJ can't closen the deal? He would own Wade in the ECF... Heat and Mavericks weren't all that better. You think he lets Dirk beat him in the Final? DIRK?
This is MJ we're talking about here... the GOAT. The guy who in HIS 3rd year averaged 37 ppg...
The reasons for the 'chips from 2007-2010 are there as you know... MJ would have done everything a bit better, perfected it, just enough to make up for what all were close losses.
So to fix for accuracy:
Replace LeBron with MJ on the Cavaliers 2004-2010:
2010: Ring
2009: Ring
2008: Ring
2007: Ring
2006: Ring
Can we agree that MJ would have pulled off a 5-peat on the 2006-2010 Cavaliers?

That shot is so underrated.. Only like 1 clip of it on YouTube. Originally Posted by 3ball

Bulls defense was suffocating LA. They still would have won the series without this shot. Originally Posted by ArbitraryWater

Lebron is to Barry Bonds, as colluding is to steroids.
Both are disqualified for GOAT talk.
