Michael Jordan Finals record 24-11 6 Rings 6-0

You can't go 22-33 in the finals and call yourself the greatest basketball player ever. And you can't blame it on his teammates because Lebron hand picked them. You also can't call yourself the greatest when you're in your prime and you jump ship to ride someone else's coat tails. The GOAT should always want to beat the man to be the man, not team up with them and jump ship to do so.

Anytime anyone has to bring this up it just points to how much they don't get context. It's the oldest and dumbest argument for MJ.

I've said it a million times, MJ's Finals record is great but he only played against 1.5 Hall of Famers per Finals appearance. No other great has played less opposition that MJ in Finals and it's not close. The number is almost always 2-3 relevant HOF'ers on each side.

Also by your math MJ playing in 35 Finals games is better than Lebron playing in 55 Finals games right? Just think about how ridiculous that statement is...
