    I guess the entire argument just doesn't change much for me regardless because their number of rings doesn't sway my opinion more so than their individual level of play. If Jordan were 3/6 and LeBron won all 7 of his I wouldn't be on here claiming LeBron was the far superior player. Just like I've said before Jordan was the best player to me before he won a ring, what the Lakers won, Celtics won, Pistons won, compared to what the Bulls didn't win didn't change my view on Jordan compared to Magic, Bird, Zeke.. Just like what the Cavs didn't win compared to what the Lakers, Spurs, Heat won didn't change my view on LeBron compared to Kobe, Duncan, Wade.

    I look at it as more "LeBron has accomplished a lot at a relatively young age". I realize he's played more, everyone knows that. I guess in realizing that it's already known that it didn't change the view point of the graphic for me. Now if I were a 15 year old kid and didn't know that much about MJ I could see more where you'd find it misleading.. But otherwise, and for most here, it's just that it's already known. Just because the picture doesn't have it listed didn't mean that my common knowledge of their backgrounds just disappeared from my memory lol.

    This is all you, OJ. You talk about people being upset but we were just commenting on a graphic and ragging on the ESPNs of the world. Your need to write an essay for every post that is slightly against Lebron is why this dragged on. I think the real question is why does all of these insignificant conversations bother YOU so much?

I'm sure you don't like being grouped with me because I've been hypocritical and hyperbolic at times, and I'm not saying you have been, but clearly you and I are the biggest LeBron fans on here and apparently we also share the MJ admiration as well. I love comparing the two because they are my two faves and they're both dominant in different ways. You can throw these things out there about both guys and I'm not gonna get offended or upset about it because I like em both.

    The graphic's intent is up for interpretation...for us, it's just a side-by-side comparison of our favorite players of what they accomplished by age 31. For Bulls' fans and such, they could see it at yet again someone trying to compare their GOAT to someone who (and they don't want to admit this) could surpass MJ as the GOAT when he retires. It's like when we got media/dudes that were trying to tell us that Steph Curry, not LeBron James, is the best player in the world; we ain't having none of that **** cause that's our guy.

    Like Pack said, we can manipulate **** pretty much how we want to fit our narrative. Was it MY intent by posting to spark debate? Absolutely not, but some took it that way and I can see why they would. Was it the graphic designer's intent? Possibly, but their intent is irrelevant to me because that was not MY intent.
    Yeah I don't think anyone thought you were doing that... we were just commenting on the graphic itself.

        Nah, they put it back up when he came back and I'm pretty sure Nike just updated it with "Champions" after the win.

                      My Cleveland clients straight up told me no one is in the office today.

                      And then mic dropped their email with "Go Cavs!"

                      So I've been doing nothing all day.
