@SportsStatsFan That's fair.

The best explanation for this media manufactured GOAT debate is recency bias + Social Media tear-down narratives.

Nothing factual supports a LeBron > MJ GOAT case.

[The NBA Realist @nbarealist23]

MJ vs. LeBron:

I'll save you the time... it's not close.

MJ Wins:
· Team Success
· MVPs
· FMVPs
· DPOYs
· All-Defense Awards
· Stat Titles/League Leader
· Per-Game Stats (Regular Season)
· Per-Game Stats (Playoffs)
· Game Winning/Game Tying Clutch Stats
· Better Overall Playoff Competition – Wins/Net Rating/SRS/60-win teams

LeBron Wins:
· Longevity Stats
· All-NBA
· All- Star Selections
· Fake Narratives
· Out-Of-Context Narratives
· Hypotheticals

Against my moral compass, I even included 2nd place finishes just to appease all the casuals with a loser mentality.

Both great players, but one guy was BETTER, and more DOMINANT. The other, simply played longer.

[LeKaren James @TREErenceMalick]

Reminder that LeBron discarded Mike Brown and got him fired from the Cavs because the "king" needed a scapegoat after his marathon of CHOKE JOBS.

Now Mike Brown has led the Knicks to a championship while old ass LeBron is in Cancun paying podcasters to peddle anti-MJ propaganda.

[BGN Hoops @BGNHoops]

We haven’t seen a back to back champion since the Warriors 8 years ago.

Which makes it even more impressive that MJ 3 peated TWICE.

[David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc]

In a league of killers, Jalen Brunson is one of the best winners of his generation. He won two chips at Villanova in three years, and he's made the New York Knicks into NBA champions. At 6-foot-1-ish. He's a great, GREAT basketball player.

[Peniamina Felise @hbkn1997]

That coach narrative with LBJ is over with , the truth is LBJ always been uncoachable in his career ,

Mike brown is an nba champion Head Coach for the NY Knicks

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

What I looked like the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship.

NOBODY is Jealous

4-6 in 23 years while having Superteams in NOT Top 5 Worthy

Not to mention having the WORST Superstar Meltdown in NBA History against the Mavs while coming off back to back Mvps and in your prime

[Apex Jones HACKED @ApexJonesHACKED]

"What did he do without Bron?"

Mike Brown without LeBron James, who got him fired twice, has won NBA Coach of the Year, and tonight, coached the New York Knicks to their first championship in 52 years.

Gee, I wonder if LeBron will hop on Twitter and tweet some fake love to his future hall of fame former head coach.

What they gonna say now?

[Greg @GetsBuckets_]

Jordan never played a 70 win team because his team was the 70 win team.

[Isaiah Thomas @isaiahthomas]

Jalen Brunson thank you!!! Don’t run away from “small” guards! You can win with them too. Just gotta believe and give em a real opportunity

[Max Kellerman @maxkellerman]

“Everyone’s better than Jalen Brunson until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson”

Or maybe it should be:

“No one’s better than Jalen Brunson”

Or maybe just:

“Jalen Brunson is better than everyone.”

[Max Kellerman @maxkellerman]

That was one of the greatest basketball games of all time

[Max Kellerman @maxkellerman]

Trump shows up loss
Wu Tang shows up win

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

Isiah Thomas is so right: Quit calling '97 Finals Game 5 at Utah the "Jordan Flu Game." It was much worse. He had food poisoning, puked guts out all night/day, shouldn't have played. Finals tied 2-2. Played 44 mins, scored 38! 15 in 4th q! Hit 3 to win it 25 secs left! GOAT GAME.

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

CONGRATULATIONS, NEW YORK KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

JALEN BRUNSON IS THE BIGGEST LITTLE MAN WHO EVER DRIBBLED A BASKETBALL.

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

The Knicks thank you, Mark Cuban.

[Xi @thaximan]

Hey #BronSexuals Mike Brown just won the NBA title but LeBron James never had a coach right. #Knicks
