This was way opposite of where I thought it was going.

 

[tko]

Jordan, nobody compares and never will.

Lebron James....that name doesnt have a ring to it!

Boom!

Jordan

This is literally exactly what I was going to post.

Funny, but only true for a few more hours...(or days).

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

I just wanted to read something that wasn't political!

 

[Irish Fam]

If KD, Russ, and Harden got the same all star treatment that Lebron and Wade got the series would look a lot different right now.

Oh yea...

Jordan>>>>>>>>>>>Lebron

6>0

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

Kobe > LeBron??

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Hate them both equally! Would rather watch Toddlers & Tiaras!!!

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

give me kobe over lbj

 

[PerthDomer]

MJ was 27 when he won his first title, if the Heat don't choke Lebron will be 28.... Talk to me in 10 years when Lebron's career is over or close to it. And the Thunder's Big 3 absolutely gets star treatment if they choose to drive to the hole. Problem is they generally don't.

 

[PerthDomer]

Correction, Lebron is 27

Last time.... I swear.


Unless Grubl pisses me off again.

Series isn't over, and Jordan is still by far 10 times the players prince james will ever be.

Believe me, just because it says I'm from ohio, thats just where I live, never been a Cavs fan so there's no grudge towards lebron for that. Just don't think he's in the same gym with Jordan, Byrd, Thomas or Magic. Lebron is down the road at the Junior High Gym still working on his jump shot.

 

[PerthDomer]

Lebron is a much better facilitator than Jordan ever was. Furthermore, his physical gifts make him a better defender. His game is just different than Jordan's. We'll have to wait until his career is done to decide where he ranks.

 

[yankeeND]

The thing that makes me mad about Lebron is that whenever he wants he can attack the rim and if he doesn't score he gets to the line. Why I dislike this is because I have seen him numerous times at critical moments become a jump shooter, a deferer(is that a word?), or a spectator. I can and will not deny that he is the most physically gifted b-ball player I have ever seen, but he just doesn't seem to have the will to win to me. He's close now but I feel if any team can screw up a 3-1 series lead its the James led Heat.

The reason he does this is simple. He is scared to death of missing free throws at the end of a game. If they are up or down by more than one possession he will continue to attack the rim. It is when it is a one possession game that he settles for the long jumper.

You are absolutely crazy to say that LeBron is a better defender than Jordan. Jordan was voted 1st team defense 9 times and also won a NBA MVP AND Defensive POY in the same year.....Baller!

 

[Chris P. Bacon]

There is no comparrison I'm sorry, Jordan played in a much tougher time, no fault to Lebron, but the way him especially, and the heat wine up and down the court regarding fouls, they would have never survived in Jordan's era. Lebron may be very good at defense, but the defense that Jordan faced was by far and away a lot more difficult, and look at what he was capable of doing.

They barely allow hand-checking anymore on defense, the circle underneath the rim is basically a snake pit for any defender trying to take a charge anymore, he's going to get ran over and still get the blocking foul.

I agree with yankee, I'm not sure if Lebron is just that stupid or what is thought process is, if he would just drive to the whole every time he's going to get an and one opprotunity, or an easy layup and or dunk when the defense runs out of the way.

I'm guessing that you maybe of the younger generation Peth, and never really got to see Jordan in his prime....not even compareable

My point exactly, we have to wait and see what Lebron is going to do, at this point in Jordan's career, you already knew he was going to be great.

Agreed, growing up in Chicago and going to Bulls game, you would know he was the most magnificent player, to ever play. Lebron is the only thing these young kids know of, they missed out on the GREATEST.

I agree, and Jordan never shied away from the final shot! Good stuff bro!

Unfortunately you are probably right but he still will be 5 shy from this conversation even worth having. Sorry Kissme but I nominate this for the Most Ridiculous Thread!!

Jordan, hands down. No one could grab the game by the balls and finish it. Lebrons first 7 years are a lot of "Meh". Once he is coronated tonight we'll see.

I can't stand the NBA on so many levels. The fact that travelling is no longer a rule. The fact that if you are a star you can bury your shoulder and fullback down the lane. The foul differential in Miami vs any other team. Dave Stern.
