you won't win any arguments when you are dealing with 20 somethings because they simply didn't watch MJ night in and night out.....30 somethings like myself KNOW who the GOAT is because we have now watched both dudes play in their prime and there is NO QUESTION who the GOAT is.......and I wasn't even a fan of the Bulls. I was a Stockton and Malone guy lol

Actually LBJ is a better passer than MJ. Passing and 3point shooting are the only areas of the game in which I could agree that he is better.

I think these warriors will beat those Bulls argument

Funny to hear these kids mention that these days....the argument really depends on what time period the teams play each other.....if the Jordan bulls play the Warriors in 2019 of course the Warriors would win with NO defense allowed...all the starters for the Bulls would be fouled out in the first quarter...The Bulls would be lost in translation on the court...Dennis Rodman would have been fined 50k and suspended before the game even started.

Now if the 2019 Warriors took a time machine back to 1990's the Bulls would obviously win....Steph Curry would come off a screen and hit a three and do the cha..cha...dance and the very next play Dennis Rodman would foul Curry so hard he would probably break his jaw with his mouth piece on....Klay Thompson wouldn't be able to shoot his spot up threes like its the allstar 3 point contest and Kevin Durant would be constantly bitching to the 1990 refs why they aren't calling fouls

Boogie cousins pidgeon brain would be controlled by Dennis Rodman getting into his head....Rodman would kick camera men in the groin and head butt referees ffs.....

These kids forgot how the NBA has changed so this whole Warriors Bulls argument only applies depending on the era in which the game will be played in which is a silly argument

I´m the one mentioning how the NBA is completely different, and Im also supporting Jordan over LBJ.

The Warriors would adjust as well in terms of defense. I guess the right mental examination would be to play two games, one as it is now and one as it used to be.

If you´re talking the Rodman Bulls. Then Boogie vs Luc Longley... come on! Rodman vs Draymond is close. Pippen and KD (when all is said and done, KD will be better ranked than Pippen, as much as I love his D KD is also a good defender who happens to be one of the best scorers of all time. Klay and MJ no comment. Steph vs Harper (Come on).

Be objective and rational, you can´t go straight to the other side of the fence. It ain´t about "age" or not. No doubt the Warriors would be a much stronger fight than that Utah Jazz team.

Only thing you muat think about is that when MJ stepped on the court, you knew which team is gonna win.

LBJ? lol... not so much. Lets leave the fact that you can not claim to be the GOAT if you loae twice to a team which claims to be one of the best ever. If you arethe goat, find a way to win.

Kyrie saved him. Ray allen saved him. He played with 3 all stars in the teams in which he won a ring. MJ had one super star along his absolute dominonat decade.

Lets not forget LBJ lost to Dallas and Spurs. not only GSW.

when mj stepped on the court you just knew the outcome. could be close, could be a lot of stress, but in the end you knew they wont beat him.

And isnt it the most important thing in sport?

MJ will forever be the GOAT, and yes - its not even close even if lebron wins 2 more rings. he already blew his chance.

Lebron fans are all in their 20's. They love to bring the GSW argument. But they "forget" to bring two nba finals losses to the Spurs and Dallas. Both were great but not invincible.

WOW! NBA 30 years ago is equivalent to G-league today! That's right! MJ today would be on the bench!!

Only reason you guys favor MJ is because he was bug back then, which is true, and you sympathize those times over today! That was your age. That the only reason.

Go through my post and enlighten yourself. I gave you stats. I´m still waiting for ONE, just ONE rational and objective argument as to why LBJ is better.

are you delusional? The difference between defenses and how the refs allowed way more aggressive defense with screens body checking and enforcer contracts are night and day....does it have to do with age? of course! it was a different time a different era...when a league allowed actual defense and hard fouls.

Its like comparing what Richard person Marcinko did with the Seals during Vietnam and comparing what the Seals are doing today....
