Let’s imagine if Michael Jordan did what LeBron did. Lebron left his originally drafted team to join with the 2nd and 4th highest PER in the league. (They were all in the same conference as well. The historically weak eastern conference ) Only to end up losing in the NBA Finals while being outscored by Jason Terry despite logging many more minutes. (67 more minutes) https://www.basketball-reference.com...s-vs-heat.html




To put this into perspective that would be like if Michael Jordan left the bulls in his prime and joined with Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley....Only to lose in the Finals while being outscored by a 33 year old Byron Scott.





If this goat choke was committed by Jordan it would eliminate him from any sort of goat contention. Even with the rest of Jordan’s flawless career it would still be not enough to overcome the goat choke.

I am actually a LeBron fan so I can unbiasedly say that I disappointedly realized that his legacy was over in 2011. The writing was on the wall during the 2010 decision and by 2011 we have all seen enough. The talk shifted from goat to hopefully LeBron can crack the top 10. If we are being easy on LeBron with a Homer take, 2011 counts as a negative ring at least. If you stack that up with some of his other questionable titles in lockout seasons or in exhibition style games….LeBron’s career has many holes and starts to fall apart, especially under more careful scrutiny.

An unhinged Curry fan, whose favorite player teamed up with Durant is bringing up team stacking and mentioning MJ for no reason.

Stay off the crack children.

Kong haters have no logic at all and instead, use their emotions to disparage the man.

Reminder that your team from 2016-2018 was the most overpowered team of all time and it's not even remotely close. 2 MVP players, arguably the best defender in the league, the best 2-way shooting guard and an insane supporting cast.

Have the same energy for Curry when you try to discredit LeBron's Heat championships for playing on a stacked team.

But Chris Bosh was 4th in PER once while missing the playoffs in the East. That obviously makes him equal to Magic or Hakeem.

When the fourth highest PER in the league is supposedly some terrible player…

Yet supposedly the other eras were filled with car mechanics and plumbers.

Most choke jobs of all time. Fringe top ten at best.
