The problem with lies is that people repeat them and then more people believe the lies. And those people repeat the lies and the cycle continues.
Jordan had more assists in the Finals.
Also, 7x missed shots leader BUT he led in MADE shots all 7 years as well, and 10x overall.

Just think about it:
In his last series with wade, kyrie, AD and luka, lebron went 4-16
Use this info to determine if he’d win 6 rings with worse players.
What if LeBron James took Michael Jordan’s place on the Bulls dynasty of the ’90s? 🤔
Would Chicago still dominate the decade and capture all six championships?

He’s actually the luckiest
Played in arguably the worst conference ever for most of his career
Multiple superstar teammates in their prime
Wade
Bosh
Love
Kyrie
AD
Luka
2020 bubble
Ray’s shot in 2013 is arguably the greatest shot in a Finals
lebron fans and their excuses😐
LeBron has been robbed of many opportunities to win titles
Unluckiest superstar in NBA history. If you are very conservative, LeBron has had at least 5 legitimate title runs opportunities away from him
2004-2010: Cavs never put serious team around him
2015: Love and Kyrie injured
2017-2018: NBA salary cap makes unprecedented jump allowing KD to join 73 win team
2021: LeBron and AD hurt
2022: Lakers break up team for westbrook
2025-2026: LeBron, Luka, Reaves all deal with injures/sickness during playoffs

The NBA hasn’t had a player lead a team to a 6th title in the last 28 years
Jordan won 6 rings as the best player in 8 years, including TWO 3-peats, with a retirement in between
Did it while winning 4 MVPs, 6 scoring titles, 6x all def
People don’t realize how insane this is
The NBA hasn’t had a single team win more than 1 ring in the last 8 years
LeGOAT James won 3 rings in 5 years with 2 different teams
LeGOAT won 4 rings in 9 years with 3 different teams
The NBA hasn’t had a single team make back to back Finals in the last 8 years
LeGOAT went to 8 STRAIGHT NBA Finals with 2 different teams
LeGOAT made 9 NBA Finals in 10 years with 3 different teams
LeGOAT made 10 NBA Finals in 14 years with 5 different Coaches
LeGOAT led his teams in Points, Rebounds & Assists for every championship
People really don’t understand how insane it is. 🐐👑
LeGOAT James WAS HIS OWN DYNASTY
LeGOAT didn’t rely on a single teammate or Coach for all his success…
LeGOAT just built different…
The Greatest of All Time and it isn’t particularly close

LeBron has never won 3 straight titles.
Jordan did this, twice, in 8 seasons. They try to marginalize it because their hero couldn't do it
MJ🐐
Jordan and Kobe have never gone to 4 straight Finals
— Bron went to 8 and 9 in 10 seasons - they try to marginalize it because their heroes couldn't do it

lebron and bosh were added to the 47 win Miami Heat and the team hopper/ring chaser lebron still only won 2 in 4 years. But he’d win 6 with a worse team??
Don’t get me started on the even bigger ring chaser, KD.
What a terrible take🤦🏻♂️
Les recuerda que Michael Jordan y sus Bulls en el 93' hicieron 57-25. MJ se retiró y al año siguiente los Bulls tuvieron récord de 55-27 sin él. Sí ¡solo 2 victorias de diferencia!
Imagina agregar a LeBron, Curry, KD o Jokic en un equipo de 55-27 + competencia mala. Oh, Bro. 🙆🏽♂️

MJ haters need to lie to push fake narratives
New expansion teams were not allowed to have high picks
Highest pick in their first year
1988
Hornet 8th
Heat 9th
1989
Wolves 10th
Magic 11th
1995
Grizzlies 6th
Raptors 7th
Also, not all of their picks were good/star players
How were the teams drafting behind those 6 teams robbed of a chance at getting good players in the same manner as teams drafting behind expansion teams when the talent pool is big enough to sustain 30 teams? There are enough cookies today for everyone to eat, there WERENT enough cookies in the 90s for everyone to get one. A bad team today is not the same as an expansion team in the 90s. Expansion teams were a NEW category and level of dysfunction. The 90s had bad teams that deserved those picks but instead they went to even worse new expansion teams. Disallowing for new contenders to emerge until the later 90s when teams like the Magic had stolen a ton of draft capital.
One league has a defined and sustainable ecosystem and hierarchy, the 90s did not.

“Former MVP” can mean 38 year old duncan who retired 2 years later.
Actual MVP or runner up faced when MJ or lebron won is way better
MJ: 5 in 6 Finals
lebron: 3 in 10 Finals

Can someone tell him that when LeBron FINALLY beat the Celtics, his teammate,
Wade, averaged 30 PPG😆😆😆
They romanticize the Bad Boys Pistons, turning Jordan’s three straight playoff losses to them into some noble rite of passage. Yet that same logic disappears when discussing LeBron—suddenly the East is a “cakewalk,” and his dominance there is used against him.
Make it make sense

One of the biggest lies in NBA history is that lebron can play center.
He can’t. Being listed at center on paper means absolutely nothing. LeBron changed NOTHING in his game. He played the same way he plays when listed at SF.

Teammates averaging more than 25+ PPG in the Finals
MJ: 0
lebron: wade, kyrie 2x, AD

Why is it so hard for haters to understand that competition matters? Players today are simply better, and the gap between the best player and the second- or third-best isn’t that large. This isn’t like the ’90s, when the league heavily marketed Jordan as being above everyone else

The GOAT is who did it BETTER
Who did it BETTER? The one who had a bigger impact. The one who brought more SUCESS and the one who did it FASTER.
The goal is to win and no player has won as many rings as MJ while matching his dominance and consistency.
Isiah Thomas doesn't understand why Michael Jordan is still in GOAT convos with LeBron 🤯
"Y'all treat LeBron like he ain't noting...when y'all talk about the greatest, y'all talk about the guy that gave you some shoes."

Austin Reaves is averaging 27 PPG this season, but Jordan would struggle😭😭😭 lebron fans and their dumb takes
A 20-sensor biometric study suggested that Michael Jordan might have struggled in today’s NBA, highlighting how changes in athletic demands and play style could impact even the greatest from past eras.

LeBron isn’t top 15 in ANY of the 5 basic stats or metrics such as PER, BPM or win shares per 48 minutes.
But his fans still say he is top 10😆😆
The most overrated player in NBA history.
Top 10 players in the NBA right now
1.) Nikola Jokic 🔁
2) Luka Doncic 🔁
3.) SGA
4.) Giannis
5.) Wemby
6.) Anthony Edwards
7.) Cade Cunningham
8.) LeBron James
9.) Kevin Durant
10.) Steph Curry

Michael Jordan averaged 34 PPG in the Finals for his career (35 games).
It took LeBron 22 games in the Finals to score 34 or more points in a game.
22 games!
The GOAT is who did it BETTER, not who played more seasons, otherwise Dirk, Vince, KG and Parish are top 5 all time.
