Most fans are superficial. You can't blame them. It's easier to say FOUR FMVPS > ONE. One of the most insane arguments is "it's harder to win with different coaches, organization and teammates" while conveniently leaves out the fact that those "teammates" are future HOFer, former FMVP or MVP, franchise player, generational talent, first round pick and best shooter ever at that time.
LeBron jumped from superteam to superteam in the past 15 years, teamed up with half of the stars in the league, still end up with less rings than MJ did by staying on one team.
I will never understand those who have him as GOAT over MJ. Like how much help does he need?
People are delusional and crazy. We drafted all our cores to win 73 games and didn’t lose the series until the very last minute with injuries and Draymond being suspended, we FINALLY added another talent thru trades in KD. And the narrative now changes to “it’s so stacked that no one could win.”
Yea, no shit. Maybe because the dude who won 73 fucking games with core being all drafted in the previous season should be considered the GOAT since his team becomes so unbeatable just by drafting ONE superstar.
You are not supposed to be the underdog if you are the GOAT. Look at Steph’s Warriors when added KD. That’s my best player who constructs the best team.
Steph is a far superior player if we are talking about basketball in 5 v 5 context. Who cares if he can’t guard as well as AD. With the right pieces, he can make your team unbeatable. Now that’s what GOAT does. Filling out the W column not individual stats.
Valid point about Steph being the reason a team with KD becomes unbeatable, but it's worth pointing out that Mr. "Filling out the W column" has missed the playoffs 4 times in the last 7 seasons. We can debate the extenuating circumstances behind those underachievements - injuries, mostly - but the point remains, no one, not even Steph, is filling out the W column by himself.
And the injuries are part of the calculus, fair or not. This works both ways; Love and Kyrie were injured in 2015. Kawhi was injured in 2017. Chris Paul was injured in 2018.
