GOAT Talk

[leavemeglazzies]

Using humanitarianism as a reason to say someone is the GOAT of BASKETBALL is CRAZY.


Has nothing to do with what they did on the court.

The CRAZY part is that they're doing it in favor of Michael "Republicans buy sneakers too" Jordan, one of the biggest pieces of **** to ever step on the court, and whom Donald Trump called a friend just the other day. You'd think that Jordan's Hall of Fame acceptance speech alone would make any of his stans never draw attention to anything but his on-court activity again. And I haven't even mentioned his degenerate gambling that had his father killed. Let alone him raising a coke-head son as a father himself.

LeBron had some great off the court moments in the mid-to-late 2010s, first with him publicly endorsing Hillary over Trump, then his vocal support of Kaepernick and then likewise being vocal during the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of George Floyd. But he definitely fell off since with his comments on China and most recently Israel. Still, overall LeBron off the court is a friggin saint compared to Michael Jordan.

Jordan's "humanitarianism" is just a form of self-promotion, like when he donated $10 million in february 2023.
By sheer astronomical coincidence, LeBron also broke Kareem's scoring record in february 2023. No relation whasoever between the two, I'm sure.

Hey, remember when all the eventual "the 2020 ring doesn't really count" LeBron haters desperately wanted the entire 2020 season to be cancelled because of the death of George Floyd, because they knew that the Lakers had a very good chance of winning the championship, since they were the clear #1 seed in the west, including the vast majority of the 2019-20 season 63 games played before the bubble? The same George Floyd LeBron was VERY vocal about.

Meanwhile, Michael Jordan didn't give a single solitary damn after the beating of Rodney King in march 1991, let alone entertaing the though of boycotting the 1990-91 season. In fact, when he was asked about the beating during the 1992 LA riots, he dodged the question and said "I need to know more about it". I guess he was ahead of his time and thought the footage of the beating was AI generated. Jordan even had an activist teammate Craig Hodges who regularly tried to sway Jordan towards activism, but the stone-hearted bastard just did not give a damn, even after Hodges destroyed his "had no weakenesses in his game" *** in the 1990 3 point contest, probably the most embarrassing 3 point contest performance by anyone ever

Wait, does Jordan's post career philanthropy count towards the argument in favor of him over LeBron?
