    Lebron James was worse he was 0-8 and he actually had guys who made the allstar game on his teams.

    Your biggest knock on MJ's career is that he lost the 8 vs. 1 matchup twice, the worst odds in sports, while averaging 36/6/7 with 2.5 spg and 1.5 bpg?

    Okay.. ... So you think he's goat then..

    Only MJ was an 8 seed... And twice

    I forgot to add that to the OP

    So MJ had to build a worse playoff team than every other great that he's compared to - lebron, bird, magic, curry, kobe, etc, all entered the playoffs as higher seeds..

    lebron has infact never had below a 4 seed (yet his teams often get best worse than many 8 seeds.. )

    LeBron led an absolute trash supporting cast to 66 wins

    Give MJ the 09 Cavs and he struggles to make the playoffs
