When you include college, it's basically 1a/1b.

There are winners and there are losers.

MJ showed that once he was in the finals with a good enough supporting cast to get him there, that he ensured victory. No other player has been able to demonstrate such a level of perfection. It is for this reason that he will always be ranked higher than KAJ.

If Jordan faced the teams Kareem faced, he still would be perfect in the finals. He already demonstrated that he doesn't know how to lose if his team is a finals contender that year. There is no argument against this fact.

jordan fans dont realise how close 3 of jordans 6 finals were


1 ended on a game winning kerr shot

1 ended on a game winning paxson shot

1 ended on a push off game winning jordan shot

50/50 circumstances and jordan is probably 3 for 6 in half of the parallel universes out there

When your mindset is "I'm in the finals now, I can't lose" then the result is exactly that.

1 time is luck
2 times is luck
3 times could even be called luck

But when you show the world that for the 6 times you went to the finals that you ensured victory each and every time and that you were the undisputed best player each and every time....well that is the definition of GOAT pure and simple.

or it is luck because 3 of jordans finals ended on 2 shots by role players and 1 by an offensive foul no call

Also, if MJ had Kareem's supporting cast, he'd have 15 rings for every season of his career:

[COLOR="Blue"]Worthy[/COLOR] destroys [COLOR="Red"]Grant[/COLOR]

Kareem played on the most stacked team of all-time, other than Russell's Celtics.. MJ carried a MUCH bigger load than Kareem and had vastly superior stats - it isn't remotely close - and it's ridiculous when you adjust for pacee..

NBA u can argue for either but i go with KAJ

including HS and college? Its not close KAJ is GOAT

Kareem's Playoff Averages During Various Championship Runs:


1980: 20.0 ppg.. 8.5 rpg...

1982: 21.0 ppg.. 8.1 rpg...

1987: 19.2 ppg.. 6.8 rpg...

1988: 14.1 ppg.. 5.5 rpg...


Should I post MJ's playoff stats??... ... Don't compare this guy to MJ.. It's offensive

Tough choice but give me Kareem

Said by a dumbass

Kareem had vastly superior supporting cast but no more rings... and worse stats and accolades... There is no argument for Kareem other than people's feelings.

I like Jordan but Kareem takes the cake.
