Olajuwon Says Jordan is "far superior" to Lebron

[dime bag]

"When people start comparing [LeBron] with Jordan then that's not a fair comparison,". "Jordan was a far more superior player in a very tough league, he was very creative…That's not taking anything away from LeBron, because he is a great player, but it is not a fair comparison because Jordan is a far superior player."

duh

 

[ballscout1]

there is no doubt about that.

Lebron has never had the basketball knowledge or refined skills of Jordan.

Lebron also doesn't have the competitive killer instincts of Jordan

If Lebron did he could have been because of his physical superiority

I feel the same way when someone says that about Jordan and Kobe

no shit

 

[curryshotta]

okay

Of course he is going to have his biases. He was playing in that era. I do think Jordan is better, but that is because that is my era, but as I look back, I don't feel the league was overall better than today. For a long time I would say that it wasn't but I had to take off my glasses and be objective.

The league was better becsuse the players were more fundamentally sound....

That is not an answer. You don't have an ounce of the stiffs today that you used to have back then. Plus, that is a statement to diminish the abilities of the players today.

i don't think a lot of these draft "projects" would get drafted i hear the kings are already shopping the cat they got from michigan, their lottery pick , you had a better,more competitive, and complete product on the floor every night

this is absurdly ridiculous

No shit Hakeem. LeBron is nowhere near as mentally tough, doesn't ball on defense as well, and does not have the overall game. LeBron still (or chooses not to) can't post consistently.

He is a better player than Scottie though, imo.

 

[godofwine]

Truth. Jordan more of a leader. Overall better player

people are on curry nuts now cause he can shoot..1 player out of the very few in the current nba that can actually shoot...shooting was a no brainer back in the days..every team had a shooter a bunch of players on each team had shooters back in the day..that was part of the basic skills..in todays game ur looked at as a god if u do that basic skill called hitting a basket
