Is posting that Michael Jackson popcorn GIF still a ban-inducing offense?
I love sports.
Post away. It doesn't change his standing in the NBA and I always get a laugh out of seeing it.

As evidenced by my posts, I'm obviously a fan of Lebron. But yeah, based on my own experiences watching the NBA, MJ has to be considered the greatest of all time (Sorry, I hate the acronym for that...just seems silly that GOAT can either mean Greatest of All Time or can refer to someone who costs his team the game...)
EDIT: Just realized that my previous post RE The popcorn GIF may have been misconstrued...just agreeing with your argument and was sitting back and enjoying it. LOL.

No worries Dino. I know the popcorn GIF was mentioned in jest. I am a MJ fan but definitely get a laugh whenever I see it. Like I said, it takes nothing away from MJ's accomplishments in the League.
I am but Seattle and Tampa Bay don't have NBA teams.
Root for the Thunder then
"Sports Star" then. Obviously Ruth wasn't an athlete by definition. The rest of my statement isn't pure conjecture. It is supported by multiple sources and historians alike. The historical impact of Ruth is greater than Jordan or Montana, Bo, Thorpe, even Jackie since there were players that played before Jackie (Moses Fleetwood Walker). You can't hold Ruth responsible for segregation either. If we are going that route, then Josh Gibson is the GOAT.
He retired in what.. October... then announces he will play Baseball a couple months later..... Why not go back to basketball?
I don't know why you think I said Jordan isn't the GOAT. I don't why you are rambling on about this getting so upset. I said Jordan is one of the GOATs today, but is placed on too high of a pedestal. He is overrated, that doesn't mean he can't be a GOAT. People view him as too great of player...
How can Jordan be GOAT after all those first round exits and how can Jordan be GOAT when he doesn't have the most rings? See, I can do the same thing. Just stop with Jordan. Every reply to me you cry about Jordan. It is comical how upset you are to bring up Brady. You are disrespectful to the game to call Brady "one step above average."
No...... my history of sports knowledge... actually history in general.... is greater than all of you. You like Jordan more than I like Brady

Root for the Thunder then
Thunder is a 4 letter word in these parts.
I have an inkling what the responses will be but I'll throw out what I am reading for discussion:
Jordan faced Lakers, Blazers, Suns, Sonics and Jazz in the finals.
Lebron faced Spurs, Mavericks, Thunder and Warriors in the finals.
If I am reading the posts properly, none of James finals opponents could hold a candle to Jordan's? In addition, Lebron has partnered with soooo much talent on teams that continue to fail. Then is the talent on his teams Wade, Bosh / Love , Irving superior or equal too the talent on Jordan's, Pippen, Rodman / Grant?
Jordan had better teams and players then his opponents and he won as expected. James is facing "some" equally quality opponents as Jordan (?) yet with less talent doesn't it make the outcomes less about failure?

And you wonder why people don't like you, lol
See this my problem with LeBron. You got Jedi going around saying how great teams are in the NBA since the early 2000's. Better than teams in the 80's and 90's that were stacked full of HOFers. If that's the case, how does LeBron make it to 3 NBA Finals with ****** Cavs teams since other teams of his era are so great? This is where Bron fans say, well he's an incredible player. He's so damn good he put those teams on his back and got to the Finals. However, when he gets to the finals, this incredible player doesn't get it done. Not one, not twice, but possibly 3 times. Well, let's get him some talent. Put him on a Miami team that's got Wade and Bosh on it along with some other good role players. What's he do? He goes 2 for 4 and very nearly goes 1 for 3 if the Spurs didn't lose their composure in the closing minutes of game 6. Sorry, none of that spells special to me personally. Is he an fantastic athlete and basketball player. Without a doubt. One of the best to play the game? OK. Is he special? Does he thrill me like watching Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, Kobe, and MJ did? To that end, I can honestly say no.
I didn't find Bird, Duncan or Hakeem thrilling myself....which isn't to say their not great players their brand isn't for me.
Hakeem won two championships (none with Chuck and Clyde), Robinson one (with Duncan) Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Ewing.....zero. They are considered some of the greatest to play in the league...sooooo if we use the what have you done why are they considered great? Would their teams be great against Russell's Celtics? Kinda like saying Lebron's teams or teams he faced in finals / playoffs wouldn't match up to an 80's or 90's squad.
I think comparing generation is asinine because no one will ever know. Take them for what they did in their time and let that be the judge. Russell kicked everyone in his era's ass so he is GOAT....Jordan kicked everyone in his era's ass so he is GOAT....Tim and Kobe did the same...yada, yada, yada
There is only one GOAT. If you polled 100-10,000 people(athletes, regular joes, NBA players) who they thought was GOAT, guaranteed the majority would vote for Jordan. I feel the same way...
GOAT based on what criteria? he isn't the greatest athelete......he isn't the leagues leading scorer, assist, rebounder etc....he doesn't have the most titles.....he doesn't own the record for most points in a game.....hasn't played in most playoff games nor has the highest winning percentage....the list goes on and on....it's all opinion which everyone is entitled too.
I'm not saying he isn't great or the greatest of his era......just don't buy the concept of single GOAT

Exactly, anyone in the goat convo needs or needed to win when it counted, bron simply hasn't done that more then the others in get convo
Just start a vote on any forum likely to get above 1000 hits. Put 20 players names who you think would be GOAT...watch Jordan get the move votes...end of story.
Beyond being popular what does that prove? No need to get pissy...just asking questions
Not certain if that is directed towards me because I don't follow the popular opinion like a sheep. I never said Lebron was the greatest anything or better then anyone....I think GOAT is a lazy term.
I wanted to know the criteria that makes Jordan the one and only GOAT and all I received was popular opinion polls. He owns no major "records per say" but is held in such high esteem. Jedi may not articulate his thoughts the greatest by pissing people off but he does raise decent questions for conversations.
