    What a joke - you think the Celtics losing to the Lakers is an EXCUSE for Lebron losing to them?

    You don't even realize how dumb that is... Essentially, any time Lebron loses, the excuse is "b-b-but they had a good team."... Lebron stans are literally the DUMBEST fans on earth.

    Whereas MJ never lost as a 1-seed (he won the championship every year he was the 1-seed) and never underachieved his seeding EVER.. MJ's teams virtually never underacheived - never underachieving is the opposite of stat-padding.

    MJ had GOAT stats for his entire career, so that means his entire career was "just a selfish, stat-crazed and sub-optimal", as you said.... that resulted in 6/6... Whew - what a selfish player..

    In 1989, MJ led a would-be lottery team to the ECF and 1 season away from the start of a 3-peat.. That's the GOAT impact on a bad team...

    And of course, we already know MJ had the GOAT impact on a good team - the Bulls fell from 3-peat to 2nd Round with him, which is the biggest 1-season decline ever when a star player leaves the team.

    Bulls were a bad team until MJ joined and they went 6/6.

    How is this not GOAT impact on a bad team?
