Lebron thinks he is the GOAT in the NBA. Do you agree with him?

What do you say? Is Lebron or Michael the GOAT in the NBA? I say it's still about the number of championships. That's why Nicklaus is the GOAT in golf and Brady is the GOAT in football and Michael is the GOAT of the NBA. Lebron has a case given his longevity and 4 rings with 3 different teams. But the number is still SIX set by Michael.
 
LeBron can't hold Jordon's jock strap. LeBron had to chase winning teams
to get his rings, Jordan and Co. built their teams. Magic Johnson was more of
a GOAT than LeBron, as was Larry Bird. And neither Jordon, Johnson, or Bird ever carried the
nickname "Flop" as Lebron has.

Sure he has.

🏀 The most famous example​


After winning the 2016 NBA Finals with the Cavaliers (coming back from 3–1), he said:


“I’m the greatest basketball player people have ever seen.”

That’s basically him calling himself the GOAT, even if he didn’t use the exact acronym in that moment.




😄 More casual / direct moments​


He’s also said it more directly in lighter situations. For example, in a video with his kids:


“I’m GOAT bro. G-O-A-T.”
 
Two different players, two different eras, two different styles. LeBron is the more well-rounded player, but Jordan was poetry in motion.

As far as character is concerned, neither are model humans.

Bill Russell won 11 championships in 13 years.

No
 
I don't recall Jordan choking as often as LeBron has.
 
If you never watched Wilt Chamberlain play, you don't know what a GOAT is. Physically, he was like a seven foot Michael Jordan, but he played his entire career under NBA rules that were designed to contain him.

He was the greatest offensive and defensive player who ever lived. How do you think these other wannabes would have done playing in Converse tennis shoes against zone defenses?
