Jordan....They don't even play D these days
the most "exciting" is mike - by far. lebron is not all that exciting to me. don't get me wrong, cat is NICE. but he makes some of the stuff look quite easy AND he's not the big game - big shot hitter that mike was.

man this thread is about 10 years too early. you can't judge jordan's whole career vs a section of lebrons. lebron could get hurt next game and be out the league in 3 years on some penny shit. Projecting into the future though lebron has a chance to be the g.o.a.t . once kobe duncan and the 96 draft class start retiring i foresee a very long run of lebron lead championship teams.
you didn't see game 6 against the pistons 2 years ago huh ?
you didn't see Jordan in the 1986 Playoffs against Boston, huh?
keep in mind, this is AFTER missing damn near the whole season with a broken foot

The G.O.A.T>>>>>>>>>LBJ23
i'm a piston fan and i know, he's a beast. He was also taking the cavs to the finals last year if it were not for Paul pierce. They went to Game 7 and lost 97-92 . But jordan was exciting to watch..
While LeBron's game is getting more and more disgusting by the day, it's still blasphemous to compare him to MJ.
This is even dumber than the "Kobe or MJ" debates. Lets pretend MJ didnt play during the leagues golden leagues, and lets pretend Lebron doesnt play in an era of watered competition which lacks fundamentals and professionalism. Shouldnt we still withhold this debate until Lebron actually wins SOMETHING??
Are you guys that bored??
Are you guys that bored??
no actually i didn't see that game. i was too busy trying to learn how to walk. That shit was hard at first a niggas balance was all off and shit, i got the hang of it though im good now
anyway i just object to you saying lebron doesn't make big shots because he does. What you said is just plain not true.
I smell a slight bit of jordan worship on you. Jordan stans can't stomach the fact that anybody could possibly be mentioned in the same breath as mike. that's why there are so many kobe haters. Lebron would eat jordan @ 23 alive point blank period. jordan was the man no doubt i show jordan love but the nba has never seen the combination of skill, physicality , athleticism and basketball IQ that lebron brings to the table. with that said lets stop this silly debate until lebron wins something or at least doesn't go the grant hill route.
I hated Jordan with a passion when he was in the league, but truth be told, he is, was and alway be the greatest single player that stepped on the court. Very few players dictated, molded, & controlled a completely new level of the game and style of play. All players after him are just hopeful wannabes one day. Jordan is the inventor of the current one or 2 two stars on each NBA team today. People always ask the difference between Jordan and every other player now. I tell them, players now play against teams that have 1 or 2 good players on the team. Jordan played in an era where entire teams new the game in and out and had all the complete fundamentals of the game itself. As great as Jordan was, it really is his fault that the NBA have so many teams that are not complete all around basketball players. Jordan is the GOAT!!
Right now he Is...
Numbers and w/l records dont lie..
This convo Is pointless until Bron gets @ least on ring tho.... And I'm the biggest Cavs fan there Is. Sad to say but Lebron Is not on Jordan's level In that way.....(yet)...Flip side Is Lebron has shattered records that legends held @ such a young age.
He's almost there.
Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, AI, & countless others in the NBA right now, would no exist if it wasn't for Jordan. Who do you think every player right now in the NBA truly looked up to coming up? Jordan. Every last player in there right now stole something from Jordan, every player! Don't kid yourself, you take Jordan out of the picture, all these players now, wouldn't exist. And I'm a born Laker fan, but hate Kobe. Why did I hate Jordan? Because it was him that ended the Laker era & stop my got damn Knicks from their era. Most of yall are too young to have witness a player to do something like that.

of course i saw it. but i also saw him shoot 50% from the free throw line and pass the ball to simps (that didn't even want the ball) with seconds left on the clock.
again, i think lebron is the truth. but he simply doesn't compare to jordan at this point in his career.

Not true... hes a better ball handler, has better court vision, faster, quicker more athletic... his first year in the NBA his body was NBA ready, Jordan developed over several years and hit the weights in the late 80s after the Pistons were literally whooping his ass in the playoffs. Lebron is also better at attacking the rim than MJ due to the size/speed/strength combo. People dont ever wanna talk about Jordan 84-90 who was just as selfish as Kobe was at the same age... he learned how to win and play with his teammates. Ninjas act like Jordan won a title every year
... its a process. And Jordan dick riders dont want to admit it, but considering LBJs age, its not a matter of whether he'll be better than Jordan, its only a question of when. Add a more consistent jump shot and continue improving the D and hes done. Rings can't be the only factor in determining a players greatness... it its all about the jewelry, Mr. Russell wins that hands down... literally...for those who don't know, he's got 11 rings.Kobe didn't play near as well as Lebron at 22-23.
I think most of the Kobe and Lebron dick riders just start to watch basketball so ppl shouldn't even waste their time arguing with them.
I never rush to see Lebron play while when Jordan was playing it was hard for me to miss a game even if the BULLS were playing the worse team.

What record and numbers are you looking at?
The only thing Kobe has over LeBron is that he played a few years with Shaq in his prime.
I love Lebrons game. But do you realize at this point in his career (24), Jordan was not only waaaaay more prolific of a scorer than Lebron but he also won a DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD. He was the leagues best scorer and best defensive player at age 24..Lebron's current age.
LEBRON HASN'T EVEN HAD A DEFENSIVE TEAM HONOR YET (1ST OR SECOND)
Jordan was light years ahead of Lebron on the defensive end.. a better scorer... by age 23/24.. Jordan wins HANDS DOWN... and I'm a Lebron James fan.... now you couple that with the fact that Jordan started pretty much was winning titles after year once he hit 27, Lebron has tough metrics to beat...some of yall cats don't realize how thoroughly Jordan dominated the game.... dude just didn't score a lot of points.. he dominated on both sides of the ball and literally had players/teams in fear of him.. dude dominated the game physically and psychologically.
Lebron is an outstanding player but he still has a ways to go...
Man..you know this cats don't know the fucking stats
