Bill Laimbeer would "no question" take LeBron over Jordan

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

They beat him like 3 straight playoffs and changed the entire trajectory of his life

If anyone is NOT scared of mj its the 87-90 piston s

Any team Bron ever played on would get done the same or worse by the 87-90 Pistons

And if the 87-90 Bulls played this years Cavs in a series, I'd pick the 87-90 Bulls in 5

The Pistons were basically assaulting Jordan at times. You're telling me this guy would have handled that well?

*remembers series Vs and the Bulls* NVM

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Magic was all those things you just mentioned...and he aint better than jordan either....

 

[Teko]

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.

I like that better squad thing. So you now acknowledge that basketball is a team sport and everyone needs to contribute at a high level?

 

[El Jefe]

the thread title with ' laimbeer makin comments about MJ ' already had me @

but then the outright blasphemy and audacity of this no talented CAC 2 say, that MJ wouldn't have been able to bring a team with kyrie , kevin love .. jr smith , tristan Thompson , iman shumpert , shawn marion to the finals ??

that's all I had to read ' laimbeer '

I don't see why anyone wouldn't. But that's with all the greats though, people get so caught up in that GOAT shyt, and stop being realistic.

Fact is, the thing that made Jordan so great. More than his heart, athleticism, and drive. More then all that, he was the first of his kind.

The same way AD, Lebron, Russ, KD and Steph are. It's just evolution. As time goes on players get better. It is what it is. They only get better because there's more to look back on, and things you can take from other greats.

You're watching the best players to ever do it today. Ever.

It doesn't take away from the other greats because without them, these guys aren't who they are.

Greatness, and Best are not the same.

I agree that Bron does more with less (esp his first stint as a Cav), is a better all around player, and is just physically impossible to stop. He can be slowed down though.

Just because you would take Bron over Jordan doesn't mean that Cheese Eyes still isn't the GOAT to most (I prefer Earvin).

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.

uh...no jordan didnt....not until 1990 atleast....the pistons kicked his ass every single year...

i watched those games...i remember vividly...

that said: what else is laimbeer gonna say? he hated jordan

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Isiah admits in this clip t.hat they made a decision NOT to shake hands with the Bulls and just walk off that court.

Thats what ive been saying the entire thread

 

[NormanConnors]

ether, all valid points made by Laimbeer

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Thats what ive been saying the entire thread

The Pistons were the ones who made the decision to NOT shake hands. Not the Bulls.

 

[R=G]

Laimbeer is wrong. Jordan COULD take this team to the Finals with the east that exists. He's hilarious...old man is delusional

 

[Stone]

There's no best, but there is a certain level of immortality that's reserved for the very best of all time.

Lebron has clearly reached that level.

 

[HendriX]

Just another bum's opinion..he actually played against MJ and is watching Bron play now..so you have to "respect" that fact.

Kobe would son the dudes you mentioned at one point in time, lol. kobe is the closest thing to jordan...so jordan would have success. and jordan even played the year before bron came into the game and did solid for a broken down 40yr old.

bron is just getting a post game...and by nature of playing in the triangle like kobe and jordan you need to be a good passer and be able to do some post work if need be.
