A few basketball accomplishments that only MJ has

How do these retards get through in life being this stupid? Government support? Mom's basement? Something else?

I have OCD, really need to figure this one out.... they're living in my head... RENT FREE! OH NO!!!!!

They don't. Their families take care of them while they play video games, watch TV, and go on the internet all day. I mean, it's pretty clear that 6 finals losses is the same as 6 finals wins in their mind.

2 additions:

- only top 10 player to never lose as the 1 or 2 seed (i.e. kareem lost 9 times, magic/lebron/bird 6 each).. MJ was 6-0

- only MJ/Kobe won multiple rings with only 1 all-star teammate or HOF, except Shaq (who had Kobe), and Hakeem (when MJ was out of league)

[Shaquille O'Neal]

3ball - As a 45 year old that watched Mike's career from about 1988 onward in its entirety - he doesn't need defended or explained.
He's head and shoulders the GOAT.
30PPG career with 50% shooting and 6/6 with 6 FMVP and 10 scoring titles is widely known and all that needs to be said.


Like someone else said - wake me up when someone else gets their 4th FMVP, let alone 5 and 6. The league is boring since Mike left. Seriously.
