What does that have to do with what he said? Dumars is one of the cleanest players ever. He has a sportsmanship trophy named in his honor which is still awarded to this day.
:what: his exact quote was breh he use to beat the shyt out of jordan.

Legit :dead: @ the MJ and LeBron comparison. LeBron is nowhere near close to the player MJ was. He isn't as skillful, mentally weak, still a streaky shooter, still doesn't have a dependable fadeaway down or go to move.. I could go on and on on the flaws of LeBron's game. Blasphemous comparison.

I'd take LeBron over Jordan too. LeBron is "weak" but he has also faced players better than him and equal to him. Michael Jordan was hands down the best guard in his era. His era was pure trash at the 2G.

Jordan is the main reason the Bad Boys were so hated at the time with the playing dirty comments and he did end their run. But Laimbeer doesnt have an agenda? Yea right. Stans on both sides can argue semantics all day but as of now every number and measurable statistic favors MJ. Thats all that needs to be said

Stats are flaw. Jordan scored more because he shot more than EVERYBODY in just about EVERY ERA! Miss me with the "efficiency" bullshyt too. You guys say Jordan's teammates were trash, but how do you get 8 assists with trash? Steals, blocks etc. A bunch of unskilled players. He was intense they were finesse.

Stats are what endure over time. I doubt more than 1 out of 10 people that say Lebron's better has seen MJ play outside of a couple replays or highlights so what are they really basing their opinion on?

Jordan' stats are nice but look at them in context. Michael Jordan will always be seen as the GOAT based on IMPACT alone. No one will ever match his impact. He revolutionized the game. That however does not make him the best player to ever play. Easily the most iconic and entertaining player, not necessarily the best player ever. Ironically the best player ever didn't even come into play until he won rings and he wasn't nearly as "exciting" as he was before.

What are some of the things basketball skill wise that Lebron does better than MJ? Provide some facts not opinions.

I actually thought he was somewhat insane when he made this comment but if LeBron somehow finds a way & pulls this off brehs...it easily trumps anything MJ or any other all time great for that matter ever did in their careers.

this was from a few years ago:
O.G. 80s Goon Bill Laimbeer Comments on Lebron's Toughness, Chances of 3-Peating


Yeah you know Laimbeer is one of the more salty individuals when it comes to basketball of course he is gonna hate on Jordan case Jordan use to sun the pistons.


:usure:

the pistons did most of the sonning in that rivalry.


I know that im talking about once the bulls had a better squad not to mention Jordan throwing Isiah in the bushes for the dream team.


pistons were past their prime for like 95% of that.
