Haha, and Mark Jackson shows us why I think he's an idiot
This is why i think its foolish for anyone to think Lebron is the GOAT. He won 4 championships but move even the slightest things around and he has 1.
Jordan won 6 in dominate fashion.(in many less years played) Once again, went to a game 7 one time in all those championships against the Pacers in either the ECF or 2nd round.(i forget) You can't remove any over a lucky shot or fortunate bounce of the ball.
It's just not close when you look at team achievement and individual accolades. It's actually embarrassingly one sided.

Tough series but given they were 2-10 and thought of as one of the worst teams entering the year this was a good year for the Lakers
Get LeBron foot surgery, get rid of Russell and bring it a little bit more reliable of a point guard and they’ll be in the mix unless LeBron just absolutely regresses

Can make a strong argument for either one IMO. I would give LeBron the edge as the GOAT but I know we won’t agree
Just think he is the overall better player for a longer period of time. Did more things better , was more valuable to his team (though it’s splitting hairs). Can’t fault him too much for running into some all time great teams in the finals.
Nothing changes that from this series. LeBron could really only gain given the Lakers we’re not expected to go this far anyway
He has regressed. Next year will be worse for him.
He hasn’t regressed much overall, much less than one would expect 20 years in. He was averaging like 29/8/7 before the foot injury. Basically his career averages (slightly better actually)
He definitely is more injury prone now, which is the bigger concern compared to his overall game regression.
We will hear about a foot surgery shortly after the season ends I’m guessing. It’s obviously impacting how he plays now. Being way less aggressive offensively than earlier in the year, shooting more jumpers
Jordan was the better 3 point shooter. Jordan attempted less than 1.7 per game so a higher percentage of his 3s were prayers. End of quarter type stuff. Brick averages 4.6 per game with a lot of open looks. The only thing you can compare by % are free throws. Everything else you need to see if it's contested or a prayer.
