Just post the MJ reaction so we can mock it. That guy has no class and doesn’t have GOAT level skill

That's why he is the undisputed GOAT and you are clueless. I can post poll after poll if you like.

I know you remember it, maybe from playing it over and over? 
I seen you mentioned it when talking about Cleveland's pain. Do I need to post The Shot II?

All basketball pain was erased in 2016.

/I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming/

Just poll your neighbors. Or family.

That's something you would do. You can't dispute the facts.

Every game that LeBron plays more and more people are getting on the #LebronTrain.

There is plenty of evidence to support Michael Jordan's GOAT status, however, his greatest feat of all might have come before he even won an NBA title. In the 1988 season, he won MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and the NBA's scoring title. His insane '88 season went like this: 35 points on 53% shooting, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals, 1.6 blocks.

Why can't we just enjoy the greatness that we are seeing now without making comparisons after every game. When Lebron retires and leaves his full body of work then start comparing

What are you smoking? You brought MJ into this discussion? Then all the haters piled on with their childish remarks.

I'm supposed to be impressed? Checkout Wilt's stats

Only a complete idiot wouldn't be impressed. Are you impressed or not?

It's impressive. But If you're gonna mention stats, Wilt's gotta be the GOAT.

There is more to GOAT than just stats. Character also comes into the equation even though it shouldn't.

So you think wilt should be the GOAT but isn’t because of his character?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

No I don’t he should be GOAT.

No I don’t he should be GOAT.

What is your point? You trying to prove 1+1 doesn't equal two? The overwhelming consensus is MJ is GOAT. I know it, you know it and the whole world knows it. Root for your Cavs and stop with your nonsense. 

ETA: If you want to continue this nonsense we can play with stats all you want.

It is ironic how you claim to know so much about MJ without ever seeing him play.

Ah, so his character is worse. I can root for my cavs and call out ppl that drink the chicago cool aid and raise MJ to the pedestal of gods despite serious cases that can be made for other GOATs, including for LBJ. you seem to not want to hear any argument - if an argument is stat based, stats don’t tell the entire picture. If it’s not stat based, Jordan had more ppg and rings. And if it’s a combination, “the whole world” or “real basketball fans” know that Jordan is the GOAT.  10 years ago, maybe. But we don’t live in the 90s or 2000s anymore.

My take is LBJ is threatening Jordan’s legacy but hasn’t yet surpassed it. If he plays at this level for a few more years, regardless of whether he wins more championships, he’s my GOAT.

Is that your argument?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

So we both agree that MJ is GOAT so why all the nonsense? If in a few years things happen the way you claim we can have this discussion.
