Pretty much how it is for LeBron, he's a media manufactured champion.

Jordan turned 35 during the 97-98 season, when he played all 82 games (something LeFraud has done a WHOPPING one -1- time in 21 seasons) and averaged 38.8 minutes a game (something LeFraud hasn't done since waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2010).

Aged 36 and 37 MJ retired as the unquestioned GOAT because he didn't "need to" stick around to pad his career stats (like LeFraud).

Hope that helps.

I’m going by bball reference age seasons, which has Jordan playing 0 games in his age 35,36 and 37 seasons (only 17 games combined in age 30 and 31 as well), something lebron never did. Could you imagine if lebron only played 17 games combined over 5 seasons?

Well BB Reference is wrong because Mike absolutely played at the age of 35... he was born in Feb, so he played half the 98 season (plus all the playoffs) at age 35.

LeBron played 80 or more games just three (3) times in 21 seasons, all 82 just one (1) time. Jordan played all 82 games 9 times, and 80 or more 11 times... and as noted, in the past 6 seasons James is averaging just 55 games played per year.

So on top of every other criteria imaginable (except "longevity") Jordan > LeBron when it comes to durability too.

Amazing how Lebron James ran away not from one but two 60 win teams like a Gutless Choking Coward. Playing with Mo Williams. Give me Pippen all day long. But LeBron ran from a 60 win team.

What's even more sad and pathetic (than LeFraud running chicken from the back-to-back 60+ win Cavs) is the fact that he literally quit on his team in the 2010 Semi's against Boston after Cleveland took a 2-1 series lead, because at the time he ALREADY KNEW he was bolting for Miami, and after all, how would "The Decision" have looked if James announced he was running chicken to the Heat after the Cavs advanced deep in the playoffs, or possibly even won the whole thing?

LeFraud Games 1-3: 33-PPG on 53% shooting / 8 TO's (Cavs win 2 of 3)
LeFraud Games 4-6: 21-PPG on 34% shooting / 19 TO's (Cavs lose all 3)

And let's also not forget LeFraud bolted on the 54-win Heat (with Bosh and Wade still intact) after losing in the Finals in 2014... then he bolted on the Cavs (again) in 2018, after they reached the Finals as well.

The man is a complete and total fraud... there's no doubting that fact whatsoever.

No offense Stars, but that is a retarded take. He was by far the biggest reason that team won 60 games. The talent was marginal at best on that roster when he left. There is a reason they won only 19 games after LeBron left when they had won 61 the prior year. That roster generally stank. The drop wasn't all about LeBron obviously, but it definitely was the biggest factor. And then, even after drafting Kyrie, they still only won 21 and 24 the following two years.

And for chrissakes, don't ever use Mo Williams in the same sentence with Scottie Pippen ever again. Even implying there might be a comparison is beyond retarded.

8 points, 2 assists 4 rebounds are the reason MJ had his first winning season.

18,4,3 has no bearing on an improvement.

I would rather debate Orr-Gretzky.

Don't stick to your guns when you are really hanging on to a slingshot Stars. Just saying.

You know a lot more about Orr/Gretzky than you do about hoops, so that is a wise choice.

Nevermind Mo shot 44% from long-range that year AND he helped LeFraud save a ton of energy by sharing PG/facilitating duties.

That aside, how hilarious is it that grizz wants to give LeFraud ALL the credit for the Cavs' RS success in 09 and 10 YET he doesn't hold LeFraud accountable for Games 4-6 of the 2010 Semi's against Boston... when LeFraud either quit on the Cavs OR laid a monumental egg after Cleveland took a 2-1 series lead.

Grizz won't hold LeFraud accountable for losing to LOWER SEEDS in 2009 and 2010 either.

In short, grizz is a fraud just like LeBron.

Which game does he get it? He's only 40 points away now and about to start a 6-game homestand.

Wizards are next. Does he say fuck it and drop 40 on Kuzma's head?

The Nuggets are probably the safe bet as the game where he hits 40K, dropping the historic moment on Jokic's melon head.

Unfortunately, Joker goes 12-10 from the field, 28 points, 19 rebounds, and 12 assists in a dominant win :(

Now 9 away, sitting at 39,991 points.

Not trying to cause anymore strife between the Jordan and LeBron fans by bumping this. I just enjoy making updates on a man chasing history.
