he'll go down as the 2nd greatest basketball player to ever live... he's not seeing Mike, but when it's all said and done, Bron will likely have been the best player in the league for like 6-7 years straight; no one else can say that

THIS is what i don't understand...if you guys are gonna compare jordan to bron, do it when they both were 27.

Lebron at 27
LeBron James 45 points, 15 Rebounds - Heat vs Celtics Game 6 Highlights (6.7.12) - YouTube

Jordan at 27
Michael Jordan 1990: 44 points in 3 Quarters vs Warriors - YouTube


now you can see the huge size difference.....if both of these teams matched up its clear that no one on the bulls team would be able to handle lebron...but jordan would give fits as well....

both players are great at 27 years of age......look how much better jordan got after 27, so to say lebron won't get better is just crazy.......also i don't get why people penalize lebron and say he's been in the league since he was 18.....its not his fault that he was good enough to do so....

i actually like mikes approach to the game here...you can tell he is well beyond his years. His timing on offense and defense were masterful....and he was quick. Quick hands and had a quick bounce in his step..... gave me the chills watching his highlights. His shot still is a line drive here though....and i don't think he was using the fadaway in his 20's as much as he did in his thirties....lebron isn't a better shooter than mike....now lebron can get hot from time to time, but he's just not a better shooter.....however lebron is a better ballhandler i think.......also don't forget jordan played pg early in his career too.

now we can look at bron....he's taken his game to the block and elbows....he is just too big and fast....no one can stop him in this league...you have to make it a team effort just to stop one guy.... so as we see here mike was athletically above everyone else in his time and lebron is in this time.....as the world progresses humans are gonna get bigger and stronger....20 yrs from now there will be someone faster/stronger/bigger than lebron...it is what is is.. with that being said the guys were just smaller in the 80s......hell do you think joe dumars would be an all star today??? nah....but i can tell you this, monta ellis would be a top 5 player in the 80s.....so you have to take that into account as well.

but to be honest i can't decide who is better at 27.......but lebron has a headstart with the rings seeing how jordan was 28 when he won his first.


if lebron wins more rings, (which i think he will) then everyone will say he's the best.....either that or a 1a,1b thing.

you think lebron is going to win 6+ championships?

To many factors that go against that

1. The lakers have a super team for the next 3 years.

2. The young thunder have a super team for the next 5+ years

3. D Wade will be 31 in 3 months and on his decline.

4. D Rose will be healthy in 2013 and playing basketball again

To be honest I think lebron can get 5 more......
1. Lakers still have holes..we don't even know if that team will gel yet...since when has kobe not had the ball in his hand at all times?...and in 2yrs kobe and nash are done...lebron will only be 29 ..if they can even make it to the finals i don't see them beating the heat, to be honest i don't see them beating the thunder...they have NO ONE on their team that can stop durant, westbrook, or harden.....

2. The thunder cannot match up with the heat....no one on that team can stop lebron.....no one. Until KD starts being more aggressive the heat will not double him, they can just put lebron on him. now kd may still drop 30 on lebron...and russy will get his 20.....but after that who is gonna score for them boys???

3. Dwade will still get 22/6/5......still the 2nd best 2guard in the league and will be for the next few yrs.

4. Did you not see what happened when lebron decided to guard rose in the playoffs??? rose was locked up like he was charles manson....no escape. Besides its gonna take rose a year and some change to fully recover....and when he does he's gonna have to learn how to play the game at a slower speed....i don't think he'll be as explosive....i just don't see it after that injury...people just don't understand how serious a torn ACL is....no player has EVER returned from a torn acl and had the same explosion in their game....rose will need another highly touted 2gaurd on the wing with him.

Anybody comparing Jordan to Lebron by age has an ulterior motive. Point blank.

You using rings as a means to say Lebron is better than Jordan but, dismissing the fact that Lebron had a 3 year head start. 240 extra games. 3 extra seasons to get to the Finals :lolbron: fukk outta here with that faulty ass analysis. The "Lebron being good enough to play at 18" point is moot. Bron got lucky being born in this era. During the 1980s, nobody was doing that shyt. You took your ass to college. Had Jordan came outta high school in 2002, after it became accepted to do so, he could've just as easily went pro.

Lebron at 27: 3 Finals appearances. 1 Championship. 9 seasons played.
Jordan at 27: 0 Finals appearances. 0 Championship. 6 seasons played.

This comparison is fukking bogus. Bron has an unfair advantage from playing longer. Only valid comparison is using the same amount of games played.

Lebron at 9 seasons: 3 Finals appearances. 1 Championship. 27 years old.
Jordan at 9 seasons: 3 Finals appearances. 3 Championships. 30 years old.

See how lopsided that shyt starts looking :heh:

And I dont even fukk with Jordan like that.

You try too hard.

Lebron is a better player than Pip or Barkley.

:comeon: and you're not trying hard enough. I said a Barkley/Pippen reaction (I.e. the Bron could be better than MJ narrative...ya' know...the point of this thread) Step your comprehension game up.
