The reason Michael Jordan fans think he was a greater player than LeBron James is largely because of his 6 rings. A former rival of MJ’s, however, explained why the King hasn’t been able to catch the Bulls legend on this score so far.
The debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James is one of the most divisive subjects in the NBA microcosm.
For the majority of the population, the GOAT question is fought primarily between these two men.
But if today some are more impressed by the longevity and versatility of the Lakers superstar, others will respond that His Airness’ 6 titles make him the best player in history.
Because even if this comparison now seems to be fairly balanced, it must be said that the Chosen One has long suffered from its inability to win more in the NBA Finals.
Now he is getting a little closer to the Bulls legend with his 4 titles. But according to John Salley’s analysis on the Dan Patrick Show , there’s a reason why the King doesn’t have more rings on his fingers.
The Michael Jordan/LeBron debate seen by John Salley
LeBron doesn’t have more titles because he never played in a winning system.
The triangle attack helped Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan win 6 championships.
They were going to win 8 if Michael hadn’t retired.
To illustrate my point, Phil Jackson then went to the Lakers and won 5 titles with the same offense, with a great player, and no one could beat the triangle system.
Then there was this guy named Steve Kerr who took a version of this and won 4 rings using his system. LeBron has never benefited from the triangle system.
The whole burden was on him. Every time this has been the case with someone and they didn’t have a system, the person didn’t win. The decision Kevin Durant made in signing with the Warriors was the smartest one.
During the 1990s, Phil Jackson’s Bulls terrorized the league with this triangle system, as John Salley recalled.
Thanks to this, the tactician was able to win 11 rings and is considered one of the best coaches in history.
On the other hand, some Internet users do not agree with the former Pistons and prefer to stick to the myth according to which the four-time MVP would be unmanageable for a coach.
LBJ thinks he’s the smartest person in the room all the time, yet he cuts through the coaches’ decisions.
This is why an organization must support its coach 100%. Because otherwise, LBJ will try to disobey.
Pat Riley told LBJ to shut up and Erik Spoelstra stayed.
For many, what separates Michael Jordan from LeBron James are the Hall of Famer’s 6 NBA Finals successes.
However, the star winger could have lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy more times in his career if he had been able to play in a good system according to John Salley.
