Exactly. All this is telling me is something I already know. Lebron will have the longevity argument when it’s all said and done.

But everybody knows quality > quantity.
Yeah, this is why Novak Djokovic is known as the greatest tennis player of all time, not Roger Federer. [Reply]

LeBron is in the process of shattering all of the records in the "real stats" too. The article references that.
Stick with the "6-0" because MJ backers literally have no other legs to stand on at this point. [Reply]
If LeBron went to go embarrass himself as a baseball player after this season before coming back in two years to end his sporting career in the NBA, somehow I don't think you'd be giving him credit for the "stats he would have had" in that period. :-) [Reply]

So it doesnt fit your narrative so you want to ignore common sense? Shocking. [Reply]

And as pointed out MJ went to college 3 years and had the balls to try to play MLB in his 30s. Malone.also piled up more stats. Over a 20 year career sure Lebron will pile up numbers including humiliating loss by him and 2 other HOF buds of his to a goofy 7ft white dude and 4 losses to a Spurs team in embarrassing.fashion. Watch the games a bit and turn off Nick Wrong on occasion as he was known as in KC [Reply]
Michael Jordan convinced an entire generation of sports fans (and athletes) that “greatness” had to be a joyless, obsessive, faux-Alpha, corporate endeavor that required humiliating opponents, and 90 percent of bad sports takes can be traced back to people treating it as gospel. https://t.co/fIQZ9dltRL

I like how KC thinks Draymond Green is a top ten player because of his elite defense. But, defense isn't even in the discussion when he talks about Jordan vs. Lebron [Reply]
