This is hilarious!! Must see for all NBA fans interested in the MJ vs Bron debate although it should be a non-debate. https://t.co/FPQDiGWMZo

Respectfully, LeBron going to 8 straight finals is the most overrated feat in recent sports history.

The Cavaliers GM is putting boys on game letting yall know straight up that LeBron was gifted the Eastern conference and it’s the only reason he made the Finals so many years in a row.

But the only thing is that he’s forgetting that LeBron also hand-picked superstar players to play with him while being in that weak Eastern conference. He actually plucked franchise players from the East like Bosh and Wade and other budding stars like Kyrie, and made sure these stars were on his team which didn’t allow for balance in an already weak eastern conference.

Stars like Paul George had to go up against the Lebron/Bosh/Wade 2012, 2013, 2014 Miami Heat team and then the 2017 Cavs team with LeBron/Kyrie/Love in the playoffs 😩🤣

Derrick Rose had to go up against PEAK 2011 Superteam Heat in the 2011 playoffs. What the hell Derrick Rose gone do with Dwayne good-knees Wade/Lebron/Bosh Heatles? Cmon man. (Then he faced Cavs LeBron/Kyrie/Love in 2015 playoffs)

Carmelo Anthony had to go up against peak LeBron/Wade/Bosh in the 2012 playoffs getting spanked 4-1 because well, he ain’t beating that team. It ain’t even close.

Demar Derozen facing peak LeBron/Kyrie/Love in 2016 and 2017 playoffs. Cmon man.

LeBron’s career is very much celebrated but it has these glaring truths that the media NEVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT which kind of makes his whole career kind of fraudulent and I hate to say it but it’s the absolute truth. He basically ganged up against all the stars in the weak Eastern Conference. He didn’t want the struggle, he wanted it easy. And he got it.

What else would you call a player who is number one in both offense and defense, and in the number of awards they've received, besides the GOAT?

[Larry Legend☘️ @LarryBirdDaily]

Most guys chased MVPs. He chased championships..

Larry Bird said it himself: if he played up to his potential, the team would win. That was the standard. Not stats. Not attention. Not numbers. Winning.

Different mindset. If you watched that era, you already know. Larry Legend forever. ☘️

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@LakeShowYo Pathetic. No class and cowardice.

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@TheDunkCentral That’s fine but stop claiming to be the goat when you’re teaming up with stars to take an easier path to a title. Most great players that have won multiple championships didn’t feel the need to join with other top players because they accepted the challenge of beating them.

[OLDSKOOLBBALL @oldskoolbballx]

When MJ was asked about LeBron James teaming up with Wade & Bosh in Miami:

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team.' In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@sny_knicks Terrible officiating job by tonight’s refs. Hope this is the only game of this series that they get to officiate. Garbage.

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@td_nash Hope Bron can swim.

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@AustinKent This was one of the best rosters in the team’s history. And Coach Goldberg should be in the Hall of Fame.

@LarryBirdDaily @iballright @iballright

Hilarious and accurate. And breaking down NBA player comparisons with 💯 clarity yet without saying a word - brilliant. 👍👍

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@physio_s I’ve watched basketball for a long time. I’ve never seen a player with the combination of grace, fluidity, athleticism and style that MJ played with.

He made it look effortless. He was born to play basketball.

THE GOAT

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@haiti4eva Only the true great players, who believe in their ability, would step up in the final moments after playing poorly, and finish strong.

We all know who doesn’t have that belief because he doesn’t have the ability.

I don't think people of today really understand how unguardable Michael Jordan's fadeaway was. Combined with his athleticism and footwork, the defense just couldn't get to it.

Kobe was the closest to replicating it, but not as consistent/efficient. If LeBron had this in his bag as a go-to, maybe he actually could have challenged MJ for GOAT without manufacturing/lying about it through the media.

One of the most iconic basketball moves of all time.

[El Critico @twitwitcritic]

@OfficialDomNBA So is listing Bron at no. 3

[NBA Performances @NBARewinds]

Michael Jordan in the 1988 All Star Game

40 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST, 4 STL, 4 BLK, 6/6 FT, 2 TOs on 17/23 FG

[Olympic Bean @olympicbean]

Jordan played to WIN

LeBron played for HIM

If you don’t understand what that means, I don’t want to discuss basketball with you

[Wise Michael Jordan @itsMichaelJ]

There are legends… and then there’s Michael Jordan. Different level of greatness 🐐

DID YOU KNOW?

That Lebron was CARRIED by a Bench Player named Daniel Gibson to the 2007 Finals who scored 31 points in the Game 6 of the ECF with 19 Points coming in the 4th Quarter

Meanwhile Lebron scored 21 points and only 3 points in the 4th Quarter

Jordan and Kobe NEVER had to get carried by a bench player to the Finals 😭😭
