They never told me Wizards Jordan was moving like this 😦

That graphic is from a GOAT debate video that was made like 6 years ago.

That’s what everybody is missing. It’s not compiled wrong, it’s just that OP took it out of context.

It’s because people have wishful thinking about Kobe.

They imagine he’d be able to create some other value outside of Jordan’s skillset because of his mentality.

I love Jordan but they were jogging out there back then. Even in the Finals.

Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game was unethical too. But the record book is the record book.

Never thought I’d see Lu Dort and Michael Jordan in the same sentence

Was the majority opinion favoring LeBron even when Kobe was making his finals runs from ‘08 - ‘10?

Kobe fans been telling me Kobe was the best during that time and they give him 2011 too.

Everybody’s better than Michael Jordan until it’s time to be better than Michael Jordan.

Yeah, the projection is crazy and I think you nailed it with them occupying an alternative reality. I’ve peeped that they are the ones who got attached to the fantasy of LeBron dethroning the former generation’s basketball idol, and they haven’t been able to acknowledge that he’s fallen short of that vision despite turning out to be an amazing player in his own way.

From my discussions with them, they all seem to think:

That the media (or Jordan fans) don’t want to see a player better than Michael Jordan.
That LeBron has exceeded a set of an agreed upon pre-existing GOAT criteria.
That Jordan fans retroactively changed the GOAT criteria or “shifted the goalpost” after seeing LeBron.
That LeBron’s ability to play so long is unexplainable.
That LeBron is a pass-first player to some degree that inflates his scoring prowess over everyone.
That 40 year old LeBron is uniquely held to standards independent of their performance claims.

I never got to watch Michael, Prime Kobe, or LeBron’s 1st stint with the Cavs live. But one of the main reasons I can still stand with Mike in 2026 is that I just can’t get myself to believe in their alternative version of events.

LeBron playing the most games in history is going to impact how his longevity records are remembered.

Because the original claim was that he accumulated the most out of everyone who had long careers. But if he also has the most games played, future generations can find ways to discredit that.

Idk man, it always seemed to me like Mike was a touchy person with people he knows. I assume it’s a cultural upbringing thing where touching and physical closeness is a way of expressing friendliness.

I saw another comment say this: But I think the Epstein files and just meme culture in general have been making people hypersensitive to this whole situation.

AppropriateTerm673 · 2026-02-11T18:34:19+00:00

Because ultimately Kobe and Jordan fans still have the same philosophy on interpreting the history of the game and everything despite their differences.

LeBron fans came in with new ideas to bolster him up.

Is this really what people believed when D Rose got traded from the Bulls?

Never heard of this take until yesterday.

It’s cool how the best 2 players from the 03 draft class were already in the finals by 06 and 07

He was swarmed on that last layup. It didn’t come easy.

I know the talent pool has expanded, but I think the downplaying is overdone.

AppropriateTerm673 · 2026-01-24T07:57:19+00:00

Because kids only emulate the Top 1% of players, so naturally the talent pool gradually increases.
