There are two 70-win teams in NBA history. Both had the league MVP. One was unanimous.
One had the best perimeter defender of his era. The other had a 2x DPOY winner.
Both had the best 3-point shooters of their respective eras. One had the greatest ever and another top five. Both had elite benches.
One had the greatest coach of all time with the greatest system of all time. The other had a player who learned that coach’s system, modified it, and helped implement it for a new era.
LeBron beat one of those teams while leading everyone on the court in every major statistical category, in a historically impossible situation. Jordan was a part of one of those teams.
LeBron is Everest. Jordan is K2.
@CuffsTheLegend He is not better than jokic, dont know what people talking about. You put jamal and jokic on thunder and SGA/chet on the nuggets, people would just realise who is the better player.
It doesn't matter how many rings Lebron wins. It really doesn't. What he did in his era, along with the situations he was in, makes him the GOAT. Thrived against the toughest competition, thrived in a slow pace era, thrived in the fast pace era. He did more with less. There is only one finals you can argue he should've won, and multiple you can argue he easily should've lost (2013, 2016).
People who believe Jordan is the GOAT say Jordan's 6 titles mean more than Bill Russell's 11, John Havlicek's 8, because Jordan faced more competition. Is that not fair to say for Lebron as well? It's simply not possible to win two threepeats now. With how competitive it is, it's been difficult for teams to even repeat, the arguably most talented team ever had to be assembled for it to happen once in the last decade.
Think about it not as in how many titles he won, but how many titles he gave his teams chances to win. So many of his teams had no business chasing a title. He wasn't gifted an incredible defensive team with elite costars and coaching. Even when he formed a "superteam", his teammates production wasn't on the level of the non superteam stars costars (for example, Pippen, Gasol/Odom).
Lebron is simply the most well-rounded player ever, too. Elite playmaking, rebounding, shooting, passing, scoring, defense. His game is also incredibly adaptable and consistent. Compare him to players such as Kobe and Jordan, who relied on tough shotmaking to impact games. Lebron's ability to get to the basket and make plays has been ridiculed (because its not "pretty 💅", but it made him so much more reliable. Look at his Olympic stats compared to theirs. It's laughable.
Everything he has been doing since 2020 in these olden years has just been to add to his legacy. He's been more than impressive in these years. He's basically been in the Jordan Wizards phase of his career. Even if his next game is his last his legacy is cemented.

You can run, but you can’t hide from Jannik Sinner.
🇮🇹❤️
Picked on merit?
Seriously?
Why do such statements make its way in the press.
Rohit averaged 52.5 in ODI's as a Captain, compared to his 47.8 average as a non Captain pre 2022
Virat has a bradmaneque average in ODI's in the last 3 years, and when you compare it to his 2008-2021 period, he is in the form of his life
Post Jan 22- 63.3 Av at 97 SR
Pre Jan 22- 59.9 Av at 93.3 SR
Both have been central figures in India's white ball success in the last few years.
Tell me age, I will accept it, but don't use the word merit.

The Pre Tennis Elbow Sachin is the Greatest ever Batsman,no one comes even remotely close to sheer stroke range,balance,purity and completeness,thats why people who have seen him play in his first 13-14 years,or have seen highlights from those times cannot rate anyone else higher
