RE: The GOATs

Ya it isn't like he didn't show up in his losses.. a couple of them he balled as good as you could ask for.. he def did have at least one finals dud tho (the first one with the Heat), and maybe two (kinda forget their second loss).

So either way it def isn't "Jordan" level in the finals, he wasn't pristine. But, I also don't think other people necessarily need to be held to that standard. It's cool and a cool part of Jordan's legacy, that he did that, but often there's a tendency to automatically lower people when they have a finals loss, like it rules them out from being better than Jordan. But there are different kinds of legacies and I don't think "unblemished in the finals" necessarily needs to be a huge deal, especially because like you say he just had the losses in the conference finals instead.
