Think you are thinking of that 2 point bank shot where he snuck under Labron's arm.

I remember that. Maybe it from earlier in the playoffs...

I remember Parker hitting a redic high leverage 3 that was contested very well.

Why do people keep saying the GOAT played bad except one stretch in the 4th? First quarter he had 5/5/1 on 2/3 shooting. He had a good first quarter.

Also, lol actionjacson.

That's like saying if it weren't for John Paxson and Steve Kerr, we'd be remembering Jordan as a guy who went 4 for 6 in Finals.

those were in game 6's with the Bulls up 3-2 tho

if Jordan ever played a finals game 7, I assume there would have been a WIM explosion the likes of which the world has never seen

Those were assists. 5 points, 1 reb, 5 assists on 2/3 shooting in the first.

Yeah, I'm guessing he would go something like 9-25 from the field and something like 10-15 from the line. He would be "bailed out" by 3's made by a European and journeyman backup guard.

Approximately as wanting as those anointing him as GOAT already.

This whole argument so dumb. He's not the GOAT yet, but he has very realistic GOAT equity. Almost no one from either side can ever admit this.

did you even read this thread? 99% of people defending Lebron think he's not the goat yet.

To be fair its hard to tell who is being serious with the misspellings of his name followed by infantile proclamations of Da GOAT and/or AIDS such and such. You'll find more of the mature.voices of reason coming from the Jordan camp

I suppose its possible no one actually thinks Labron is currently GOAT and some of the hyperbole confused me. If so my apologies for mischaracterizing it.

Agreed. The Jordan camp is judging Lebron on a game by game basis, which really isn't fair to Lebron.

Is he the GOAT now? No. But he's only 28 and he has a chance to be GOAT. Was MJ the GOAT at age 28 (after the 91-92 season)? Nope.

How would a 1990 version of 2p2 have judged Jordan after getting knocked out by the Pistons 3 years in a row?

who has done this though? Almost everyone ITT arguing for Lebron has him behind MJ but just thinks the arguments against him are so bad that they need to speak up.

Not at all...almost everyone ITT on the Lebron side has admitted exactly this.

edit: slow pony, see this has already been addressed

Well, I saw a few respected posters in first handful of posts of this thread say Labron already > MJ. Game threads even worse, but maybe everyone that says that is just caught up in the moment.

And most reasonable people on Jordan side agree that lebron has serious GOAT equity but it's too early for this determination to be made

And Seadood, and Dean. That's in like 3 minutes of work taking two random pages.

edit: And this is discounting the obvious trolls/idiots on the matter and just focusing on decent basketball posters.
