Right now, I got to school you on this. LeBron is the GOAT. He is the GOAT. I know MJ is 6-0. We're kind of just like mystified with that. But LeBron's longevity for 22 years, the work that he's done since 03... And he's been in the shadow of MJ for 22 years. He hasn't been, you know, MJ, who did he look up to? He was with Magic, you know, Magic, that smiling face.

Loved Magic, but he wasn't as intimidating as being in Jordan's shadow for 22 years. Agreed. Okay.

I know the four and six in the finals, but, man, 10 NBA finals appearances. And, oh, just one more thing. I know we've talked about this. 2021, you know, finals. The finals was the Nets versus the Bucs. 2018, it was Rockets-Warriors. Jordan had to deal with that in the East. Oh, he wasn't pushed to a Game 7. He got pushed to a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals in 92.

He got pushed to the Game 7 in 98 in the Eastern Conference finals. He's been pushed before. He still triumphs. Jordan, you know, that six and oh, we're always gonna be mystified from that all around.

How many times during LeBron's 22 illustrious career, how many times did he take a break? I know Jordan's done that a few times.

He didn't play minor league. He didn't go in the minor leagues. He didn't go try to go be an owner of the league. He's gone 22 straight years playing in the NBA.

Ten NBA finals appearances.

MJ couldn't get to 10. He couldn't get past the Pistons, just like LeBron couldn't get past the Warriors.

After three years.

Thankfully, he got Scotty during that time.

And he also had a head coach, Phil Jackson, during that time once they figured that out. But who did LeBron have as a head coach during that time? Mike Brown. Mike Brown is no Phil Jackson. Nope. He had Antoine Jameson. He had Ilgalskas. That's why he had to go to Miami. He had to go over there. He learned how to win.
