Dont know if your being serious, but if you are. Maybe because he was 38 or 39 years old, had bad knees. Kwame Brown was a fucking bust iirc they had some injuries. If what your getting at is Lequeen on that team and they make the playoffs then your nuts, under the same exact circumstances they wouldnt make the playoffs with Lequeen.
Like someone posted above there have been a lot of great players in different eras and if we go off of championships itās not MJ. Everyone has an opinion and back it with different reasons but MJ is not the goat and I can go on and on about why he is not. Just because Kobe passed away does not make him a top 3 of being a goat so that should end right there he is definitely not the goat. Great players yes but not goats. I say they were both ball hogs and played more of a one on one game not a team game.
I feel like I'm rehashing what I posted above. Lebron is a legend but he's not even close.
1. The league in it's current state is watered down. There's 3 (or 4) more teams in the league than when Jordan played. Also, look at the talent in the league during the 80's and 90's. Jordan played against many of the greats. Just look at the "Dream Team"
2. Different rules ie hand check. Jordan would have scored a lot more over his career using today's rules.
3. Had Jordan no retired (due to the death of his father), the Bulls probably would have won another 2-3 championships AND it's within reason that he could have broken Karem's 38K scoring record.
Jordan was a leader off and on the court. The buzz that he brought to the NBA was unmatched. Didn't he even take a pay cut to keep the team they had together?
Also, the marketing that he brought to the game will never be matched. Jordan's are still huge and a huge brand to this day. What other player has come close to that?

How many attempts? MJ was a ball hog and so was Kobe. Just like harden and Westbrook those two wonāt make it to the finals.
Yes I know He went to the finals. But wonāt make it back just chucking up shots with harden.
Kawhi is overrated IMO. I'd argue that currently playing in the NBA the best player would be Lebron and likely will be for another few years. He's Lebron James, literally the most gifted athlete of all time. If he had the drive that Kobe and Jordan did, he would be the best player of all time. But he didn't, he gave up, he cried, he flopped. His Miami move and how he played when he was on that team ruined his legacy IMO.
60% from the field, 7/8 FT's, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 turnover. 42 years old I think.
And the award for best actress goes to - LeBron James (self proclaimed king). Come on up here big guy, much respect!
