    I’ve always loved Westbrook as a player. I always said he was better than Derrick Rose even when Rose won MVP, but was overshadowed by Durant.

    I don’t think his game is going to age well though, and Oladipo’s success this year is a mark against him. Same for the Thunder not being any better even after getting PG13.

    My new stance is that Jordan had the more impressive career, but if my life was on the line, I’m picking LeBron. The fact he still hasn’t slowed down after coming out of high school and playing so many playoff games is amazing

    One more ring against this current GSW team and he's the unquestioned, inarguable GOAT.
    The tipping point is Jordan did it against rugby-style defenders.

    Lebron would be Karl Malone in the 80’s and 90’s. Maybe not even that.

    Ok Bronsexual!



    Cramp boy is 3-5 in the finals.

    Jordan's undefeated in the finals.
    Robert Horry is 7-0 in the finals. Is Robert Horry the GOAT?

    Do you feel stupid now?

    Gate.
    This is a stupid comment. The context for the Jordan vs. Lebron debate was already set.

    As I said, there is nothing LBJ can do to change this narrative. Nothing at all. Round in circles we go.

    I mean he lost to a team with an aging star and a bunch of guys from the retirement in 2011 w/ Bosh and Wade. Ray Allen bails em out in 2013. Kyrie bails em out.


    Difference between Lebron and Jordan?

    Jordan hit the big shots. Although, Lebron hit one today.

    It’s the first round of the playoffs. In a 2-2 series.
