    Point made. I didnt see Lebron even attempt to will his team in the 4th. Once KD started getting the better of him it was over

    I dont really care for either team.

    I am just happy that Zaza pachulia is finally going to get a NBA championship ring after all his hard work and sacrifices.

    you know it's fine to say jordan is the GOAT and the warriors are the greatest team of all time at the same time?

    Yea but the point is Jordan definitely had to work on both ends, and he sent a message to Drexler and critics. When has Lebron played a guy at his position & completely shut him down in the postseason? Paul George? Paul Pierce? (When Pierce was still serviceable). Lebron has NEVER faced a guy of his talent level until KD, and you guys are making excuses.
    KD didnt even lead the league in scoring this year lol. Yet hes the goat now?????Lmao. Bottom line, what younger generation fans do is pump guys like Lebron up then make stupid excuses when he gets outplayed. KD is embarrassing him right now

    KD is a better scorer than Jordan.
    "KD is soft." -Oldheads.

    Warriors are a better team than the 90's Bulls.
    "Warriors are too soft to play in the 90s." - Oldheads.

    LeBro--
    "**** LEBRON. MJ GOAT. ****ING YOUNGER GENERATION FANS. BACK IN MY DAY. GET OFF MY LAWN." -Oldheads.

    Just as I suspected. For half of you guys, this isn't even an NBA thing. This is just the older generation ******** on the younger generation. Always has been lmfao.

    Same people ******** on LeBron. Saying LeBron is a trash stat padder, were the same people ******** on Golden State for choking a 3-1 lead last year and completely invalidating their 73-9 season.

    90s stans man. People just refuse to believe that there will ever be an NBA generational superstar again after Jordan lmao.

    what jordan did was lightwork to what lebron is going up against.

    drexler was never a great defender, and was no where near the scorer durant is, and lebron doesn't have a pippen that he can throw on durant either.

    Jordan never guarded an MVP / Scoring champion while being guard by 4 legit defenders with length and athleticism. that's 4 fresh bodies the warriors can rotate on lebron at all times while he has to go out there and score 30 ppg on the other end.

    Jordan never had that type of task in the finals because there simply wasn't teams like the warriors in the 90's

    Refs need to do something in game 3 and 4 so Cavs don't get swept.

    Yup. Once the 2nd best player in the world starts playing on the same level as the best, his team is 30 points better. That's what we're all saying. Why are you pretending like KD is some scrub? He's probably gonna be a top 20 player of all time.

    Lebron has LITERALLY BEATEN KD IN THE NBA FINALS AND YOU'RE SAYING HE'S NEVER FACED A GUY OF HIS TALENT LEVEL?

    Despite this loss, Cavaliers played a good game on the offensive end. If you score 113 and your big 3 have decent to great games (okay Irving was mediocre), that would be enough to win or even blow out most other teams.

    Despite the Warriors high scoring, Cavs were actually keeping up and within single digits through part of the 3rd quarter. It's just that Cavs ran out of gas. The Cavs played with great intensity but Warriors had the talent to match it unlike the Cavs other opponents.

    MJ didn't win anything by himself, all of his rings he got when he had Pippen and Phil Jackson and a stacked Bulls team by his side. He played for 15 years how come he only has 6 rings if he didn't need anyone else? Why does Lebron get disqualified for not winning by himself when Jordan couldn't do it?

    What the hell does his dad getting murdered got to do with quitting basketball? If he left because his dad got murdered why did he come back after only 1 year? And what does his dad have to do with him retiring again? MJ retired 3 times you dumb POS, did his dad get murdered 3 times? It's always excuses for the MJ crowd. Lebron gets disqualified for "running away" from a lottery team but MJ quit the sport 2 times before he retired for real somehow that's better? MJ never lost a finals but he has been to less finals than Lebron somehow that's better? Apparently it's better to go 1-for-1 in the Finals and always get eliminated earlier than go 2-10 and reach more Finals because then you never lost WTF only dumb MJ fanboyz use this r****ded logic.

    Huh... Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James

    If they were in album form- Greatest Players in NBA History.... Jordan would be Side 1 and James would be Side A.

    Stay in Cleveland then!!! MJ stayed and played it out and it made him the best player ever.
    Lebron gets disqualified for running twice.
    Yes if we are comparing the 2.

    Excuses, excuses, excuses..One minute he's the most dominant player ever, next minute he can't stay in front of skinny azz Kevin Durant. If you're supposed to be the best player of ALL TIME you should not be getting torched by Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant wasn't even the scoring champ this year yet you guys have suddenly made him the GOAT scorer in 2 playoff games lol. All that said about Jordan, but he almost ALWAYS made sure he was the best player on the floor against all the superstars of his era. Dominique, Magic, Bird, Dr Jay, etc..MJ almost always got the better of them. Yet Lebron can't stay in front of KD? Yea ok

    Scottie Pippen wasn't a superstar coming out of college lol. He wasn't highly coveted before he got drafted. It is documented Jordan made Pippen into a superstar by pushing hard him in practice. Who outside of Pippen on the Bulls could you can build a team around? Rodman? Kukoc? None of those guys are anywhere near Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving type of talents. Kevin Love averaged 26pts & 12 rebs before coming to Cleveland. He's a great player. Lebron has had WAY more talent around him then MJ. All you're doing is making up stuff
