Why didnt superstars line up to play with MJ in Washington? He had total control and the best he could get was Charles Oakley? Christian Laettner? Bryon Russell? Tyron Lue? That's the best of vets he could lure to DC? Really?
Why arent superstars flocking to play under him here in Charlotte? Because they know he's cheap and his understanding of the game is greatly inflated by his fans and longtime shoe buyers.
Then they will say he needed other superstars, or Jordan was undefeated in the Finals, therefore James is a bum or overrated...cats here have an inflated perception of the importance of their opinion
beyond the barbershop and twitter these put to arguments dont mean much...
lebron is just 30...this nikka could conceivably win 3-4 more mvps and 3-4 more rings....
then what?
In Washington he was. Whats his excuse there? A team with MJ who was shooting 20 shots a contest and starting in the all star game couldnt make the WEAK east behind T-Mac's Magic, and Shuttlesworth's Bucks.
Then they will say he needed other superstars, or Jordan was undefeated in the Finals, therefore James is a bum or overrated...
Jordan was was better than Kobe, James, etc... Back in his day there was a thing called hand checking... Also back in Jordans day niggas weren't moist, therefore rules didn't have to be changed to accommodate moist niggas... Niggas got beat down going to the hole. Sometimes niggas got thrown into the 3rd row for trying to go to the hole. The game was much harder then and Jordan still averaged 30 points per game.
With that said, James is the best in this era... I like watching him play, I root for him, and I think he's a winner...
So what Timmy is 38 and just won a Finals.
If he was so old and decrepit maybe he shouldnt've took so many got damn shots like he was '88 Mars Blackmon MJ. Maybe his old ass should not have embarrassed himself and made himself the focus of the team OVER younger players. He could've easily done like Magic did in '96 when he returned from his HIV exile and deferred to his younger teammates. But MJ is a egotist, and a a chronic gambler and much too dumb to do that. Thats why the Wizards experiment failed miserably and they werent a playoff team. Scottie wasnt there to bail him out and Doug Collins is no Phil Jackson.
I remember dudes being pissed off with Vince Carter, calling him selfish and begging him to let Daddy Jordan start over him in the '03 ASG. All that babying, all that coddling, all that rewarding a player when he doesnt deserve it for marketing purposes. MJ just isnt LeBron, and ignoring his failures will not make it so.
but couldnt lead a team that he gm'ed and built starring him to the playoffs in the weak east. When it comes to lebron james, michael jeffrey jordan is overrated. A team led by bron would never go out like that. Inkosi's fans dont have to beg anybody to give up anything, all star spots or whatever so he can prosper.
But Jordan had no will to win and couldnt get them in the postseason. Yall stay moving goal posts in for this guy. "The Wizards were competitive"
damn u faker fans still salty from '91
It's alright Cuzz!!
Since 91 we each won 5 rings
So you're saying Lebron has to be a 1 man team 2 years in a row otherwise he's overrated? You niggas are wilding out...
