All of Lebron's fake social justice bs goes out the window when he proves his hypocrisy with China.

Yea, I think we've proven without a shadow of a doubt that MJ is the GOAT and less of a prick.

Jordan can be a prick. That's fine.

Lebron is just a baby. A baby who cries.

MJ would never.

It's cute that you've convinced yourself of this...

I'm talking about scoring the final 6 points in 2 minutes including his game-winning steal (on another HOF) that led up to his game-winning shot vs the Jazz in 98 to capture his 6th title.

Anything like that?

Go look up the final three games of the 2016 Finals. In other words, the three greatest games ever played by any individual basketball player.

He wouldn't have as a player either, MJ was about maximizing his cash flow.

At LeBron's age, MJ was not even a quarter of the player LeBron is. He was putting up horribly inefficient numbers for a Washington Wizards team that missed the playoffs, not averaging a triple double in the Western Conference Finals.

It's a ridiculous double standard to hold LeBron to the same standard he was at in years past.

Thought it was triple teamed. Keep your story straight please.

Did MJs wizards have an AD to be their best player?

Were you an Alex Smith fan and supporter?

The asshole in the situation with the cop is the real Lebron.

Lebron telling all his haters that it's all good because they're brok and got to work a 9-5 (like his stans) is the real Lebron.

The dude that made up a hate crime to earn public sympathy is the Real Lebron.

Of course and they all know this. MJ is the most amoral businessman there could ever be.

It was a soft triple, but Murray was the double who changed the play.

AD wasn't their best player against Denver and that's why they got swept.

Never anything on that ay? Just his cute little convenient story and no follow up.

Just curious as you are essentially one of them except your Alex Smith is Lebron.

LeBron was 9 for 24 in Game 7 and fucking deferred to Kyrie at the end. :-)

Just had everything painted over real fast, man. Went out there with his own Wagner Power Sprayer and had it knocked out quick as a hiccup...

Oh, and wasn't it LeBron that went on TV a few years ago and announced that he was "now the GOAT"?:-)

MJ, when asked that question, was quick to say that he never thought of himself that way or said that about himself, because he felt that there were so many great players that came before him that he didn't want to be that kind of asshole.
