The third episode of Off Top is here... I’ve had it with you 6-0 truthers!
That’s my biggest gripe with the argument. My overall point in the video is “winning three playoff series is better than winning anything less than that. Getting to the Finals is better than losing before them.”I didn't watch the video, but I *hate* it when someone argues 6-0 is better than 6-6 in the NBA finals. I'm a huge Jordan fan, but that argument assumes that every season that doesn't end in a finals victory is the same...i.e, if you're not first, you're last. And that is just dumb in my opinion.

Different eras
Argue away. It's irrelevant and nothing can be proven
I agree fullyThe debate for me isn't really Jordan vs Lebron though. Lebron just isn't getting 6. For me it has more to do with how finals losses or Super Bowl losses are perceived.

Agree on most of this except the Pippen comments. He was not a superstar like some think but he certainly was WAY better than average or slightly above average.If Jordan would have been in the era where players hop around from year to year forming super teams, he would have been in the finals more often than not.
Comparing Lebron to Jordan’s series records is laughable.
Lebron has won very little without a super team joining him or himself joining a super team.
Exhibit A: look how he faired last year without a team of super players.
Note: And no, Jordan having Pippen doesn’t count as a super team. Pippen while average to a little above average, was no where near a superstar player.
Now let’s name the number of years Lebron won a title without a bonafide superstar player....
Jordan has 6 years where he did it. He was the only true superstar on his team. If anything, he markedly elevated/inflated the players around him.
