Lebron rope-a-doped GSW, which isn't the most dominant way to win
.
Imagine if a single play goes the other way in Game 7 - Lebron literally won by a single posession, which means Lebron wasn't as dominant as other players who dominated with larger margins of victory.
Lebron needed 7 games because he only averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers thru the first 4 games - then he averaged 36 ppg for the last 3 games to comeback.. But if he averaged 36 ppg for the ENTIRE series like MJ in the 91-93 Finals (36/7/8), he would produce a [COLOR="Navy"]greater margin of victory[/color] and therefore be more dominant, like Jordan.

GSW was 15-9 in the playoffs and 6-8 in their last 14 games - they nearly lost to the isolation king Thunder and would've lost to many teams in prior eras.. So they weren't anywhere near the dominant team their regular season record indicated, which is very common.
Teams with the best regular season record frequently lose in the higher competition playoffs, so regular season record isn't a good gauge of all-time greatness.

Jordan had zero competition, Lebron beat the best team the nba has ever had.

Winning 3 straight, including 2 on the road, against a 73-win team, who hasn't lost 3 straight in 2 years.
While posting back to back 40 point games in the first two and in the third he posted only the 3rd triple double in Finals game 7 history.
Sounds pretty fking dominant to me.

Lebron would have destroyed, and demolished both the 96 Bulls and Jordan more than he did these GSW.

GSW was 15-9 in the playoffs and 6-8 in their last 14 games.. They were repeatedly locked down and nearly lost to the isolation king Thunder - they would've lost to many teams in prior eras.

Jordan's 36/7/8 in 91-93 Finals > Lebron's 30/11/9 in 2016 because Jordan scored 16 ppg more than Pippen and made all the game-winning plays, while Lebron only scored 2 ppg more than Kyrie with Kyrie making game-winning plays.
Also, Lebron averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers thru 4 games (3-1 deficit), and came back by averaging 36 ppg in the final 3 games.. But if he averaged 36 ppg for the ENTIRE SERIES like Jordan did in 1991-1993 Finals, then he wouldn't need a 7th game... MJ was much >>

Well, Ordan's a lesser player than LeBron. Peak Ordan would be a '16 PO's version of DeRozan in todays game.

Keep convincing yourself that. Nobody is reading your sht.
To the rest of the world, this is what matters:
Lebron led everyone in every stats in route to the greatest comeback in NBA history and bringing Cleveland its first title in over half a century.
This was one of the greatest Finals stories and performances ever and one of the most meaningful ring ever.

Lebron beat GSW by a single possession - if a single play goes the other way, he loses.. So he didn't "demolish" anybody.
As for the 96' Bulls, Jordan's SG status gives them a mismatch advantage - Iggy can't guard Jordan without Klay either guarding Pippen or sitting on the bench.. Also, Jordan and Pippen would be the best defenders that Lebron ever faced at those positions, whereas Cleveland doesn't have anyone to guard Jordan.
Of course, Jordan > Curry, and Pippen > Dray, so the Bulls are superior at the first two spots.. And I'd take 96' Rodman over Klay anytime I didn't already have a consistent double-double PF that could defend well.
Btw, the Warriors were 15-9 in the playoffs and 6-8 in their last 14 games.. Their style was [COLOR="DarkRed"]repeatedly locked down[/COLOR] in the playoffs and they nearly lost to the isolation king Thunder - they would've lost to many teams in prior eras.

Jordan colluded with the white sox to avoid playing the rockets.
