It's a bad look when you lose in the first round 3 years in a row before getting pippen ... and also Lebron would have more rings if the literal best team ever assembled wasn't created

But not win it all/ so got chase after something better. Let's look at MJ/ Phill.
Who was Phil Jackson before Michael? What makes you think Lebron would see someone who never won anything without him as the goat coach? He wouldn't and short of Popovich getting fired and running to Lebron how is someone who leaves every time he sees greener pastures going to end up with a great coach?

I don't care about Phil jackson. I'm just saying you can't say Lebron didn't accomplish anything, which is why he left the Cavs, when he took them to the finals and won mvp .. that's just an asinine statement

Just look at the record of the teams the year after Lebron leaves. Or the year they got him compared to the year before. He's the most valuable player to a team in history imo and that's an easier debate than the goat debate

Lmao Lebron is the coach on any team he plays for, no coach he had, had anything to do with him winning.

Now imagine he had the greatest nba head coach help him win, he'll probably have 50 rings.

Stop with this same flawed argument. Jordan was ages 21-22-23 and was playing with a garbage roster against the dynasties of that era. Faulting him for not dominating in those circumstances and calling a lack of Scottie Pippen the reason is such an awful take.

How much of Jordan's career did you actually experience?

Except I didn't say that. I said instant success referring to the grand prize and title after title. Which he didn't get and why he bolted and would of done to same Phil whether it was Clv or Miami or Clv again.

So if he decided to be a bench player for a championship team right now and they won 2 more rings for him, now he's the goat?

This will never happen so its pointless to even answer

Or he'd leave him after year 3 when he didn't have instant success.

Lebron was in Cleveland for 7 years.
In Miami for 4 years.
In Cleveland again for 4 years.
And will retire with lakers and likely play 6 years.

It was Jordan who left Phil after 3 years. And when Bulls said they won't bring back Phil in 98 - be quit basketball again.

That's not the point tho.

Jordan is under .500 in regular season without Pippen. He has won 1 playoff game without Pippen.

As Jordan said - he never won anything without Pippen.

What does this mean? If Pippen was drafted by another team are we saying Jordan would have finished his career with just one playoff win?

Of course. Especially when you really didn't win anything without that teammate.

Such laughable logic. Let's use the same logic shall we?

Those Cleveland teams were laughable though. Bulls still had some good players around MJ, even in Pippens rookie year. And remember, Celtics and Pistons were basically done. Both of those teams were just old

Jordan was with the Bulls his entire prime and only left after his dad was murdered (may of left regardless but you'd have to be a fool to think it wasn't the deciding factor). He didn't leave just because he thought he could win elsewhere. He retired both times. Not going to fault a guy for retiring after such a horrible tragedy or just because he was done with it. Lebron left to play elsewhere and since we're saying what he could of done with a great coach is that coach going to follow him around?

It was a very efficient 7 point a game though.
