Mid 30’s i’ll take MJ over LBJ, but its a close 2nd for sure.

When you peel back these “arguements” you realize it comes from a place of personal bias disguised as sports commentator/analyst work. MJ on another team without the TRIANGLE OFFENSE at teh time woudl have NEVER won a chip, maybe he sould win one. Change no onee else but the coach, and that bulls team record and achievements are not happening. Put hi on another team, no title for sure LBJ NBA mind is universally regarded as superior bar none.

Windy is frustrated because his arguments for LeBron are not strong enough cause they aren’t.

Hold on, so the Detroit Pistons, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston celtas, in the 80s didn’t have a stack team.? I’m lost let’s go back and look at every team that won the championship pretty stack teams all of them. When Lebron do it, it’s wrong. Lebron’s supposed to win with the g league team

Barkley just mad he couldn’t get it done in Philly and this team has a really good chance of at least makign some real noise toward teh NBA finals. It is like Stephen A and Check delibrately did that interview to give breath to narrative they wanted to push and even agreed on. Listen to Chuck saying, ‘almost everybody arguement against LBJ is stacking teams blah blah blah…the man literally trying to convince you using social persuasion lol you guys smdh

Of the last 4 finalists that Indiana team was the best and was robbed of the championship. They should have gone back to OKC up 3-1, but the refs ripped them off with unbelievable calls, a bunch of them in the final 2 minutes.
Yes, MJ vs. LeBron was never an argument.. LeBron vs Jason Terry or Draymond Green maybe we can have arguments about that, but MJ, come on let’s be serious.

Isn’t LBJ the only player to lead 3 different teams to a championship?

Windhorst needs to shut up and stick to eating for 3 hours in a row every time he hits a buffet. Which it appears he goes to them on a daily basis.
