    Lebron easily cares more about being considered the goat. And the reason is this.
    MJ has never said he is the GOAT, therefore he has never tried to push the narrative. He has only ever been called the GOAT by his peers and majority of fans.
    Lebron has made claims he is the GOAT, therefore he has felt he needs to push the narrative.
    So Lebron clearly cares more about being the GOAT. However, real the GOAT doesn't need to say I am the GOAT, your peers do that for you. Which is exactly why MJ is the real GOAT.

How was it possible for him not to go to the finals every year in such a WEAK EAST stacking his teams with Wade, Bosh and great role players/semi-stars like Ray Allen, Battier, Haslem, Mike Miller etc. Then when that stopped working he ran again to the Cavs to team up with Kyrie, Kevin Love and other great role players in a WEAK EAST! How is that "difficult'" or "impressive"???? He knew that he wasn't good enough to do it the natural way like MJ so his formula is to run from team to team with other superstars and great role players AND STILL LOST 6 TIMES!!!

    For this generation (anyone born on or after 05) most will say LeBron is their goat. The basketball purest and the parent or grandparent of these kids will say Jordan, Kareem, or Bill Russell. What makes Mike the goat 🐐 is he and his teammates never saw a game 7️⃣ in 3️⃣ separate 3️⃣ peats unlike Russell who eleven but was pushed on the brink in many of those. Jordan is the ultimate closer and finisher not allowing his teams to get a glimpse of that pressure for winner take all.

    Crazy how people dismiss losing in the NBA Finals like it isn't that big of a deal. Reality is when anyone as great as MJ, Bron, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, etc. it's splitting hair on who you think is the greatest. Some people act like it's criminal to mention Bron's melt down against the Spurs in 2011, or the 4-6 record. You have to be an idiot to not recognize LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes and NBA players in the history of life, but he still went through adversity like anyone else including MJ. The difference with MJ was even though he lost to the Celtics and Pistons early in his career that dude always showed up and produced period. Everybody knew MJ was going to show up and do his part and beyond even when he lost.

    Anyone who actually knows how to discern, knows that it's Lebron. Jordan cared about winning and beating his contemporaries at the time he was in the league. If he really cared about legacy, he wouldn't have retired twice. Lebron on the other hand cares more about being labeled the GOAT that's why he goes out his way to recruit different players to help elevate his chances of winning. That's why those who think MJ is the GOAT, think he is and forever will be.

      It’s because Bron never got a fair shot to allow his career to grow. Everything he did was immediately compared to Mike. That was just who the league compared every wing player too. So it’s never your own career being carved out into greatness. It’s “do you have 6 rings? You’ll never be better then Mike” but realistically, how isn’t a 6’8 250 lbs guy that has no weakness offensively nor defensively be better? Just logically speaking lol 21 years straight 4 rings and brought one to LA what more could he do man😂

That said, I do believe that Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are very likely the two MOST IMPORTANT players in NBA history for what they did when the league was floundering in the late 70s. The importance of both Magic and Bird just cannot be overstated.

Without those guys showing up and being good in their specific roles it doesn't equates to winning as much no matter how dominant a specific player is.

    MJ doesn't care nearly as much as Bron does. Bron is the only one out of the two who has ever uttered the words. Jordan to me is the GOAT not merely because of accolades, but because what he did can't be done again. When Bird and Magic held the league up, it wasn't as globally accepted until MJ came with that swag, grace, and dominance. He put the sport of basketball on notice worldwide, on his back, and its never been the same since. And the league still thrives off of his greatness some 20 years even after his retirement. And is still the benchmark every player after him aspires to reach.

    Jordan cares more. He was marketed as the GOAT and the idea that he's the GOAT is literally part of his commercial brand. That's why the (paid)media always makes sure to bring Jordan up in conversation and refer to him as the GOAT over and over every time, even when there is no natural reason to say it. They are doing ads for Jordan/Nike.
    LeBron, so far as I know, only cares about it in the sense that he's the best basketball player, so he just wants to be acknowledged as such. But it's not something his brand is built on like Jordan. Jordan and his marketing team actively try to prevent other players from being viewed as the GOAT. If you said someone was better than Jordan, Jordan is likely to cut business ties with you and he and Nike are going to have ESPN(usually Stephen A. Smith) attack your opinion.

    Bron a lot of times comes too obssessed with the GOAT conversation..him and his whole crew Rich Paul,Maverick all of them and he said it that he's the goat😂 that was a mistake bc nobody not even MJ never have said that..its on your pears the fans the world to say that not you about yourself!! And that's why he looks like he's obssessed with that shit..MJ is the GOAT and nobody is even close to that level..there is MJ and there are all others

    One guy self proclaimed himself as GOAT. The other guy never quoted himself as the greatest. You do the math 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Winning, Disney, bubble champion. Not all people are fanatic of the King. I see Jordan, Kobe and Lebron. I don't need a brain wash. Jordan and Kobe don't need to debate, younger people can see in UA-cam the games.

    As of 2/8/23 LeBron is responsible for over 77,700 points ….until a criteria is established to determine what it means to be “The GOAT” …..it’s all simply going to be “just another point” that someone is going to argue.

    It’s funny that no one have ever heard MJ say that he’s the GOAT.

    Lebron is the only one that called himself the GOAT MJ has always taken the humble road he’s never done that

    MJ cared about one thing - WINNING. And that’s what made him the goat….
    Lebron cares about how ppl view him and is insecure
