The Lakers were dominant in the ’80s, and Michael Jordan didn’t have an all-star in his team. And when Scottie Pippen joined the Chicago Bulls in 1987, the rest is history.
Max Kellerman perfectly describes Michael Jordan when given one all-star player (Scottie Pippen when they played together 1987-1993, 1995-1998 and later Dennis Rodman joined Chicago Bulls from 1995 -1998)...
..Not only did he not win a championship every year, but he led his Chicago team to win before ever reaching game 7 in the NBA Finals.
Only Jordan legitimate excuse is in the year 1995, when Jordan came back to the NBA after playing baseball for a year and in 1990 against Bad Boy Pistons in eastern conference finals when Scottie Pippen could not play due to a migraine)

The argument die-hard basketball fans make is that Lebron chased first his first ring, joining the Miami Heat team to play with all-star Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and later Ray Allen joined in already stacked-up team.
It is different from what Jordan or Giannis did by staying loyal to his team for seven years before winning a championship.

| Lebron James Excuse Losses | Lebron James Actual Losses |
| 4-1 Loss against the Spurs in 2014 finals. Whist Spurs were arguably the better team Lebron James had Dwayne Wade, Chris Boss, and Ray Allen. | Lebron James 4-2 Loss against the Warriors in 2015 Finals. Max says it is an excuse for loss for Lebron because both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, both all-stars, were hurt. Also, Lebron James took the Cavaliers 6 games; Max argues Lebron should get extra credit. |
| Lebron James and his Miami Heat loss against the Mavericks in 2011 count against him being outplayed by Dirk Nowitzki, and Lebron had Dwayne Wade and Chris Boss, great complementary pieces, and great Coach Erik Spoelstra. | 2017 Finals Warriors won 4-1, and 2018 Finals Warriors win 4-0 Max argues it should not be held against him because of the loaded Warriors team with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant, among others. |

| In 1995 the Huston Rockets led by Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O’Neal won when Michael Jordan came back to play basketball after his retirement with his baseball body and was not in a basketball shape. |
Whist Lebron James has two LEGITIMATE LOSSES.
Max Argues Michael Jordan played eight seasons with at least one all-star in his career not only Michael Jordan never lost in an NBA Finals, Michael Jordan won an NBA Championship in under 7 games.
Max Kellerman makes a Very Persuasive Argument based on FACTS and it MAKES SENSE.
At the end of the video, Max says “You dont want to compare a player to Michael Jordan , you will get your feelings hurt.” MIKE DROP
