    Why did MJ do so much more with so much less help than LeBron?
    Yeah...so much with so less. So I guess the following season after their 93 championship Scottie wasn't a top 5 player in the league, top 3 in MVP voting, first team all nba, first team all defensive player huh? How did the Bulls possibly win those championships with Jordan having this guy as his 2nd best player?

    LeBron will never experience the "exhaustion" of playing nine full 82-game seasons. No half ass-ing during the regular season. Only reason to miss games was legit injuries and suspensions. No need to activate a higher mode. ONE MODE: "I kill everybody all the time."

    There's a reason every one of LeBron's finals opponents had a higher net than ALL of Jordan's 6 opponents...

    Wade was better

    And Wade/Love had better individual seasons than 94' Pippen

    Maybe you don't understand that MJ carried the goat scoring burden in spite of pippen (who wasn't a great scorer) - MJ had to score 10-20 over his 2nd option to win all his Finals and was never outscored in a playoff series.. by anyone on either team.. it's called a "one man show".. the bulls were a 1-man show on offense and MJ the most doubled player ever

    What perimeter player was required to be the league's top scorer to win rings?... I'll wait.... Or the top scorer AND 1st team all-defense??.. Still waiting... That's the goat burden...

    You weren't even born then, let alone watched those games.

    "Cupcakes"

    Great argument. No. Seriously. I'm convinced.

    wake up.
    From 2011-2014, the Spurs/Heat were the only super-teams with 3+ HOF's, while teams in the 90's had to win rings with only 1 or 2 HOF.. It's harder to win by competing with numerous teams of equal talent (parity), than being 1 of 2 teams with all the talent

    Parity caused 90's teams to have lower net efficiency - it was 3-4 spurs teams playing each other in the stacked 90's West, hence them taking turns making the Finals... whereas the 07' and 13/14 Spurs were the only big fish in the conference, hence the higher net efficiency..

    The same goes for the Warriors/Cavs from 14-18' - they were the only super-teams (no parity), and therefore had higher net efficiency

    lol @ Pippy Poo being a top 5 player in 94

    Hakeem, DRob, Shaq, Ewing and Chuck were clearly better. Mutombo, Reggie, Payton and KJ all have solid arguments against him too.

    Pippen was bottom 10 and his accolades and recognition mostly came from the position he played which was absolute crap in the mid 90s pre Grant Hill

    and the additions of Kerr, Kukoc, Longley, Wennington and Myers played a big role in the Bulls season too. That wasnt near the same team minus MJ as 93

    Did so much more with so much less.

    Story of MJ's life in comparison to LeBron.

    Imagine having so much help that they take you to the final's 9 times and the best you can do is get 3 rings, 2 which come from some of the biggest shots in finals history where LeBron wasn't even in the play.

    Still the greatest player of his generation. Carer far from being over and this is what scares you guys.
