using ring count to determine how great a player is

[Poetry]

The ring argument really started to form from the insecurities of Kobe and Jordan stans towards Lebron and really took off from there.

The ring argument has been a factor since Mikan. It's nothing new.

Question: Who do y'all rank higher, John Stockton or Tony Parker?

You're still alive?

I am.

Did someone slay me when I wasn't looking?

Gretzky won 4 rings

There are 20 players who won 6 or more. Messier won 6. Maurice Richard won 9. Henri won 11. For a player of Gretzky's calibre should have at least 6.

You can use ring count only when they are the first option and they played good/great in the finals

Why is this so hard for people to understand

Clearly these bran stans dont know about basketball. Stats and rings dont go together. If you want rings, youve got to sacrifice stats. Thats why we go for rings first before stats. The goal of the game is to win so its unfair for them to be compared to bran when theyve sacrificed stats. I guess wilt and oscar>>> jordan when we all knew jordan could avg triple doubles if he wanted to. You guys are stupid. No wonder you all are bran stans.

it's hard because with that formula Russell is the GOAT and MJ stans refuse to acknowledge that.

Russell >>> MJ
He has 5 more rings than Jordan while playing 2 less seasons... GOAT

It is a valid argument, but 30.1 ppg and 33.4 ppg in the playoffs say otherwise.

Well, this is the problem.
When it doesn't fit your agenda, you change the criteria.
When it's Lebron, it's all about rings as the man ( and sacrificing stats, and all that crap) and when it's russell, it's about stats.
Cherry picking narratives
This is why nobody takes MJ/Kobe stans seriously. They flip flop all the time. They can stay consistent.
