Still bitter that Jordan punched him in the face.
We all know Jordan is an entire level above Lebron. You know it too. You just refuse to admit it because of your love for him.

Was this after the game he saw LeBron quit in overtime because he was mad at his teammate? Is this the Finals where his team beat LeBron's Cavs by double digits 3 out of the 4 games and won the last game by 23 points...IN Cleveland? The only series where the Warriors swept their opponent?
We're not stupid. These words come out of their mouths and fall straight to the ground. Then picked up and polished by his fans and presented as validation like we didn't actually watch the series. Outside of the first four quarters of Game 1, LeBron had zero impact on that series. Must've been the broken hand he didn't tell anyone about until after they got swept.

Shitting on LeBron for getting swept in that series is like shitting on MJ for getting swept by the '86 Celtics.
It was a one man team going up against KD, Curry, Klay, & Dray.

I believe ignorant would be the right word. Rarely any context. It's like listening to guys who just watch highlights and dramatized sports chat programs. Jordan's ex teammate who is currently a multi championship winning coach says something about LeBron that you don't like and you instantly disregard it as if his opinion isn't shit. Very odd behavior.

Jordan would've won that series for sure, he never lost a Finals.

The Bulls would've won. There's no way the San Antonio PGs would've even been able to effectively feed Robinson and Duncan with Pippen, Jordan and Harper hounding them. The Bulls were able to frustrate guys like Magic, Penny, and Stockton. Avery Johnson would've had his lunch taken away from him.

Re: 1998 Bulls vs. 1999 Spurs
'98 Bulls struggled quite badly against the Pacers and clearly were on their last legs. '99 Spurs got a lot better with Duncan improving and the addition of Mario Elie. I think Spurs would've won although I won't say it's a guarantee.

Boom Baby!
Re: 1998 Bulls vs. 1999 Spurs
A 35 year old Mario Elie would probably be the reason why the Spurs would lose because he wouldnt be able to make enough shots to keep the defense honest while being killed on the other end by Jordan.

No it's not. MJ made an impact. He just wasn't good enough to overcome. You saw it on the floor. LeBron made an impact the first four quarters of the series and then started stat padding when he could scapegoat his teammate. Wasn't this the year the Cavs basically gave LeBron a brand new team by the trading deadline?

Bulls lost by 19 points in game 1 and were down 30 points at one point in game 3. Swept 3-0.
I could basically use your same argument and say MJ made an impact in only 1 game.
