Let's compare how MJ and Lebron react to 2-9 starts at 38 years old

[TheGoatest]

LeBron has more mileages than Jordan. Jordan retired because he was mentally and physically exhausted. And he was more focus on his gambling addictions.

The hilarious thing is how he constantly tries to swap "age" vs "years in the league", depending on what end of their careers we're talking about.

When we're talking about age 22, when Foolish jordon was outscored, outplayed and beaten by Terry Cummings in the first round and LeBron led a team with someone named Daniel Gibson as his #2 scorer to the finals, then it's all about "years in the league".
When we're talking about LeBron's 20th season in the league vs Foolish Jordon's 14th season, where Foolish jordon's mileage benefitted enormously by taking multiple seasons of vacation, then it's all about "age" and nothing else.

The flip-flopping is hilarious.

Poor excuse.. Lebron is a goodie 2 shoes that didn't drink, smoke and gamble like the alpha swashbuckler Jordan...

And Jordan would never have retired if he lost to Barkley in 93'... You guys act like Jordan was injured - he just averaged 41 in the Finals and could've played in 94' just like Grant and Pippen did.. The only thing that allowed him to retire and mourn his father was that there was nothing left to prove - he had just surpassed Magic/Larry with the 3-peat while averaging 41/9/6 on 50% in a slow-paced series.. It's obvious that no one in history was anywhere near that, so he retired... But again, if he lost to Barkley, he would never have retired... Fortunately he 3-peated, so there were "no more challenges" according to Phil & Michael
