From @TheAthletic: While Michael Jordan won the “Greatest of All Time” category for the third consecutive time in our anonymous players poll, his once-massive lead over LeBron James has shrunk significantly. https://t.co/kHTwajU6qu
You didn't see the latest poll, did you? Give it a few more years and LeBron will have that lead alone too. Not that it's worth anything particularly, but you like bringing it up as one of the few things MJ has left. [Reply]
Barry's whole sctick is to rile up the MJ and Brady stans. You realize that right? Once Lebron is done and a new hot shot comes he will turn on Bron. [Reply]

His trophy case is unlikely to expand in a meaningful way. So at this point his argument is purely compiling.
It already expanded massively from the last time they did that poll when the only thing he's won was the In-Season Tournament. Oh, he'll have that lead within another year or two (for as little as the opinions of a bunch of twenty somethings who never saw either one in their primes matters, which is next to nothing anyway).

Shocker in a league full of people that didn't watch MJ play!
The fact that he's still #1 speaks volumes. [Reply]

Oh that's right - you still think anyone gives a shit about "The Cup".

He also legitimately believes LeBron has had the greater career (as anybody who can look at his statistics knows as well). But yes, he's already setting the stage for Jokic to be that next guy. [Reply]

KCC knows this deep down, hence why the constant "longevity longevity longevity". [Reply]

Jordan's team winning at Talladega has as much bearing on his historical standing as James winning the In-Season tournament and yet here we are...
Ultimately anything that keeps Jordan in the spotlight in any way will serve to keep him ahead of James unless James wins something of note. He won't. [Reply]

It speaks that the mythology of MJ is still strong, which is hardly surprising considering the propagandizing documentary that he put out 4 years ago in the heart of the pandemic.
Most of them have no clue that MJ actually did miss shots like this one:
