Data over Mythology. MJ’s 6-0 is a post-age 28 metric, when favored. Lebron is undefeated in Finals post-28, when favored. GOATs don’t reward scorekeepers…EVER.

MICHAEL JORDAN: WHEN DID HE BECOME THE GOAT? 🧵 MJ fans love to say you have to win 6 titles to be the GOAT. It’s a bad argument, for obvious reasons, and it’s NEVER been the criteria before. What’s funny is MJ started getting referred to as the “GOAT” in…1989. Want proof?

Lebron put up a 26.9 GameScore in the Denver series. We can clearly see he’s compromised. Here’s how that compares to Jordan’s Finals: 1993: 29.6 1991: 29.4 Lebron 2023: 26.9 1992: 25.8 1997: 23.4 1998: 21.4 1996: 18.5 Jordan averaged 24.5. If Lebron is bad…what’s Jordan?

With Lebron opting out and potentially taking a pay cut, it’s a good time for this reminder. When Jordan returned in 1995, he wanted both NBC and the NBA’s other teams to pay him to return.

MICHAEL JORDAN’S ATHLETICISM MYTHS 🧵 He Could Jump 48 Inches! He Ran a 4.38! No. MJ fans constantly marvel at these two fake athletic feats. “So incredible!” Of course, MJ didn’t do anything close to these two things. It’s typical MJ exaggeration. Let’s take a closer look.

@kingjesus17 @ShannonSharpe Sudan shot 42% from 3. On 33 shots. In the playoffs since the merger, teams have gone 132-34 shooting 42% from 3 on 33 shots. An 80% win rate. 4-1. The Dream Team never faced that.

Did you know… Michael Jordan expected to “be consulted” prior to any roster “move” the Bulls made after 1988? His OWN words. Isn’t that the OPPOSITE of “he just played with whomever the Bulls had?”

@TheGo4t6For6 The “clown” is anyone using these memes. Even Jordan knew his era was far better than the one before. We have the same thing today.

@AirJordans2323 Explain why he took less 3s in 1991 after “learning” how to shoot them in 1990. Explain why when he shot the most 3s in the playoffs in 1997, he shot 19%. Both seem to be different from your narrative. Also explain how someone shooting 23+ times a game falls out of “rhythm.”

@LakersLead Yup. The Athletic did a study on passers. Lebron was the most accurate, AND the most varied by play type. The variety doesn’t show up the same on Magic’s tape. That’s the difference.

@KILLIO_JALEN It didn’t. Bogut was down to 10 minutes a game. Each game was less. Never played a minute in a contested 4th quarter. The Warriors offense was horrific with Bogut in. -34 on the court with Lebron and Bogut on the court at the same time. Totally irrelevant.

LARRY BIRD: CHOKE ARTIST 🧵 How many times have I seen people argue Bird was more “clutch” and “mentally stronger”than Lebron? So let’s look. Lebron is crucified the most for not being “clutch” prior to age 27 (to 2011). Here’s Larry Bird, up to age 26, through 1983. Ready?

@Shane00 This is correct. And really obvious when you watch the old film from 25+ years ago. The defensive athleticism is worlds different.

Lebron at age 39, 7 Months: Olympic Flag Bearer. Voted in by athletes. Michael Jordan at age 39, 11 Months: Rejected by fans—not even voted to be an All Star starter. Times Voted as Flag Bearer at Olympics, Lebron: ONE Times Flag Bearer at Olympics, Jordan: ZERO Levels.

@LeShendyJames More specifically: 91: Injured Lakers 92: Played a team known as “Dummies” who would’ve had Sabonis in today’s league 93: No Ceballos 96: McMillan hurt—impacted Payton guarding MJ 97/98: Old Jazz with the two biggest choke artists ever Not a single elite center. Bad.

@KFCBarstool @AirJordans2323 If the stat padding was so unimportant, why was Jordan “rewarding” his scorekeeper? Why did JORDAN think it was important? You’ve gotta go work on your arguments.

TWO OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT HABERSTROH’S ARTICLE. One, Haberstroh stopped short on this point, but Sam Smith made it known that Bob Rosenberg kept a scrapbook for Jordan all those years, and Jordan “rewarded him well” for it. Jordan was “rewarding” his scorekeeper. 😳 1/2

@HoopMixOnly Um…this “move” was because Jordan was SO BAD at using his left hand, he didn’t even bother to try. He went right to right. This is about Jordan’s LACK of skill, not BECAUSE he had skill. The grade inflation is SO high.

@Yeaderrr He wasn’t. Jordan played in the “Weak East.” MJ’s playoff opponents did worse against Western Conference playoff teams than Lebron’s playoff opponents did vs West playoff teams. You have a narrative created by Lebron haters.

@HallMaryannhall @KFILE Wuhan, a city of 15 million people, was shut down on January 23. We knew about it. If not, why is a Trump mentioning it on 1/22? Fox News was telling you as late as last week it was just the flu, just the usual 1%. But, you know...Fox never lies, right?

Lebron supposedly gets “disqualified” from GOAT consideration because of 2011, when he was 26 years old. Here’s what the all time greats had done as of the day they turned 27. They should all be disqualified too, right? Almost none had “led” their teams to titles at that age.
