But LeBron had Bronny…. hardly a fair comparison

Naz Reid has as many playoff wins this season without Anthony Edwards as Steph Curry had without Draymond Green in his entire career.

MJ drinks more alcohol in a week than Lebron does all year

Crazy that the Messi vs Ronaldo spam ended faster than a goat debate between two people they never played against each other in their primes. Yall gotta get tired of this eventually.

LeBron won 4 titles without luka doncic. Checkmate atheists

Got em

In the 3 years before Pippin joined MJ, he went 0-9.

Not true, the bulls won a game against the bucks in jordan’s rookie year.
Can’t even state the facts correctly when looking to troll.

Jordan never lost a single game with Doncic, how many has Lebron lost already?

Abd Jordan also has more wins without Doncic than Lebron, a lot more.

Taken out of context so bad lol wasn’t pippen a bench player his rookie season? In his first playoffs he averaged like 10 PPG average against the cavs in the first round, Granted he did have some good games towards the end of that series but that was all MJ wtf

Jordan

Game 1: 50/7/2/2/2

Game 2: 55/6/3/4/1

Game 3: 38/5/9/2/1

Game 4: 44/5/4/4/2

Game 5: 39/4/6/2/2

Pippen

Game 1: 0/2/1/1/1

Game 2: 8/12/2/1

Game 3: 6/1/3/1

Game 4: 15/5/0/2

Game 5: 24/6/5/3

Yeah pippen did have a nice closing to this series but this was a MJ carry job

Seems like both Jordan and LeBron have immense respect for each other’s game and accomplishments, and are annoyed that people constantly pit them against each other in this GOAT discussion, so I dunno feels like this is all just beating a dead horse at this point. 

All these random stats are insufferable.

I imagine any functioning mature adult couldn’t care less about this outdated argument

lebrons pr team owns this sub jesus 

Scottie averaged a whole 10 pts per game in the playoffs his first year when the Bulls won 4 games. He averaged 13 pts per game his second season in the playoffs and they won 9 games.

And let’s do the playoffs this way.
1984-85 - Lost to MIL who then lost in the semis

1985-86 - Lost to Boston who won in the finals

1986-87 - Lost to Boston who lost to Lakers in finals

1987-88 - Lost to Detroit who lost in finals to Lakers

1988-89 - Lost to Detroit who won in finals

1989-90 - Lost to Detroit who won in the finals

1991-1994 - Threepeat

1995-1999 - Threepeat

Of Jordan’s exits in the first 6 years of the playoffs he lost to either the best or second best team in the league 5 times.

“While scrolling through basketball reference I noticed Michael Jordan only won a single playoff game without Scottie Pippen”

No you didn’t, this is a commonly thrown around “gotcha” to Jordan’s that’s existed forever. You are a lame and loser just for how you prefaced this topic.

👀 🍿 I’m here for an entertaining comment section

“Scrolling through nba reference”. This guy saw this post on nbatalk and nobody took the orignal post serious

Cherry picking stats like this always misses context. both dudes needed help early, that’s just how the league works.

Jordan won a finals while Scotty had a broken back lol.

Excellent troll

Michael jordan had more playoff game wins in his rookie season than lebron had in his first 2 seasons combined despite there being best of 7 game series in the first round for lebron and only best of 5 game series in the first round for jordan.

Jordan won his first Championship as the lone All Star on a Team that “amassed” 1 total all Star selection combined…

Now do LeBron 

This is dumb. People don’t seem to realize that Pippen wasn’t exactly that good until his 4th year in the league and the bulls were ass until 90-91. Because of this you can say things like the following regarding Jordan and the bulls legacy.

Anytime Jordan played a full season with 2 teammates who scored a PER over 17 he delivered a championship. Holding LeBron to this standard would mean Luka and Austin Reaves would have to sit out the playoffs and the lakers would still win a ring (he is 4-16 being held to the same standard btw).

Anytime Jordan played a full season with a single teammate who scored a bpm over 2.0 for the season he delivered a ring. This would mean Luka has to sit out the remainder of the playoffs, but with just Austin Reaves he needs to win a championship in order to be held to the same standard as Jordan.

To be clear I am not saying these points to make them, I am saying these points to point out how dumb this logic is, on top of that Scottie Pippen in his first two seasons was a below average player based off advanced metrics. This would mean that the bulls were so bad they got better because they for a below average player who wasn’t as bad as their below average player.

Another fun fact that I learned is that anytime a players supporting cast has shot over 40% from 3 for a series they have almost always won the series, the exception to this is when the team shoots 40%+ but the other team shoots even better. Guess what the Lakers shot in the first round?

who’s Pippin?

Jordan played in a stacked eastern conference at the beginning of his career. He had to go up against the ‘86 celtics………. and scored 63 points against them lol

Jordan was better at basketball than LeBron

Pippen*

Jordan has a %100 win rate in the finals

Considering Jordan played almost his entire career with Scottie, this hardly means anything lol.

I like how majority of basketball discourse is just a bunch of nerds making up new categories to vouch for their favorite player.

Just scrolling thru reference huh, looking for some more useless, Meaningless stats to post..cool…

Could have just asked AI like half this subs posts

All this just for the Lakers to get their rectum resized in the night

He played the legendary Boston Celtics of the 80s in the 2nd and 3rd playoffs.

LeBron played in a historically weak east for some time.

LeBron James isn’t a rookie now - though the best we’ve seen at this age - and this Lakers team isn’t young MJ’s Bulls and the Rockets aren’t the legendary Boston Celtics.

Sounds like very different things because they are

Lebron is more like pippen here

MJ won his first playoff series averaging 45.2 points on 56% from the field and 92% from the line.

In that same series, Pippen came off the bench and averaged 10.6 points.

MJ had to face prime bird… put up 63 and still lost. LeBron is playing fatass sengun

This confirms that LeBron, is in fact pretty good at basketball

Jordan has more championship (6) in a 15 year career, than LeMickey has (3.5) in his 23 year career.

I’ve never lost a game without Luka, just saying

How many did MJ lose when Scotty was out

On the team - and out injured

Bro what are we talking about?

All you on nephews have homework today. Go on YouTube and search “Michael Jordan” I know the video quality might not be what you’re used to, but just try watching. I guarantee you will learn some very important things

Jordan is still goat

This is the stupidest, most irrelevant post. When will people learn that you do not need to tear one man down to lift another? They are different players who played in different eras. I would guess that you were not old enough to watch a lot of Bulls basketball when Jordan was playing.

lol Jordan was still better

Lebron has 0 rings with Doncic, MJ has 6 rings without Doncic, this definitively ends the GOAT debate /s

Fool of a Tuk!

This comment section should be fun

I think we’re all out of stats now. That’s got to be the last one, right?

What an ignorant take.

Good thing we’re getting tiktok level stats here

This is secretly a stat about Pippin’s durability

Scottie Pippen also had more playoff wins without Jordan in one season than Jordan had without Pippen in his entire career. Hmm

Yeah but how many wins did Lebron have without Luka Merry?

Now lets compare the teams Jordan went up against before Pippen to the 2026 houston rockets

so?

Lol how moronic

What’s your point? Given a choice I build my team around Michael.

daily lebron and jordan brainrot post

LeBron didn’t have to play Bird and peak Celtics.
