After another NBA Finals loss, LeBron James can never surpass Michael Jordan as the GOAT

The 2017 NBA Finals are over — officially — and so is the discussion about LeBron James' standing relative to Michael Jordan.

You can believe LeBron is a better all-around basketball player than MJ, as I do. You can believe he's one of the greatest ever, despite a second career sweep in the NBA Finals.

You can believe a great many things, but believe this most of all: LeBron James will never surpass Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player in NBA history — not after this slaughter at the hands of the Golden State Warriors.
