“LeBron James won 31 playoff series from 2011-2020, whereas Michael Jordan won 30 in his entire career”: NBA Twitter continues to argue about the greatness of the two legends for the GOAT debate

According to a stat discovered by a Twitter user, LeBron James has won 31 playoff series in a 9-year span, whereas Michael Jordan won 30 series in his entire career.

The GOAT debate is one such conversation that has been going on for years and will more than likely go on for many more to come. In basketball, LeBron James and Michael Jordan are two of the athletes who have dominated this conversation.

Both are legendary in their own way, LBJ and MJ have been compared forever now. With both having ridiculously long lists of achievements, it is pretty difficult to pick one superstar and term him “better” than the other.

However, fans will continue to find the smallest of the stats that help strengthen the GOAT case for the player they are rooting for. And recently, a Twitter account just discovered a stat that favors LeBron.
