you're fukking full of shyt. LeBron had a hof staff around him in Miami. Riley and Spoelstra. they literally gave him the blueprint to become the best version of himself. its why he tried to replicate it in cleveland. fukk you talking about? and since 2010, Lebron had had more offensive talent around him than Jordan EVER had. Jordan played "15" seasons and had a "hof" level talent from 91-93, 95-98 with Pippen and 95-98 with a mid to late 30s Dennis Rodman. the ONLy prime Hof player he played with was Pippen.

LeBron played with prime Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love. and a mid to late 30s Ray Allen.
MJ had the strongest supporting casts in his era. He retired and the Bulls won 55 games in 1994. Teams were constructed different back then so its no point in comparing teams, LeBron is facing better, deeper teams in the Finals as well. It's not only about "HoF level talent" either but the whole team. Ron Harper sacrificed his offensive numbers and was a main cog of the Doberman defense, Kerr was a 50/50/90 shooter off the bench, Kukoc was a versatile point forward who won 6MOY.

Bosh missed most of the Indiana and Boston series' in 2012. Bosh had a high ankle sprain in 2013 that limited his effectiveness throughout the playoffs he failed to score double digits in three consecutive games against Indiana that year. He even went scoreless in game 7 of the Finals that year. D-Wade had to get his knee drained throughout the playoffs look up his numbers those last two playoffs runs, he was in his prime in 2011 not the whole Miami run. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving missed the entire 2015 Finals, K-Love had a concussion in the 2016 Finals and was generally ineffective which is why Richard Jefferson was starting games. It's really funny how y'all like to throw a late 30's Ray Allen's name in there.

I thought since JR is an NBA player that his perspective is factual?

Anyway, funny seeing all the spins and julezing when a player says LeBron is better than MJ. I was told his peers didn’t respect him.

Pat Riley and the Miami Heat organization plus Wade/Bosh/kyrie/love/Ray Allen isn’t enough?
In 2014, no Wade and Bosh were not enough.
He did not have Kyrie or Love in the 15 Finals.
16 they made history.
Everyone knew Curry+KD+Klay+everyone else was winning last year and the only reason they look vulnerable this year is because Steph is out and may not be 100% when he returns.
2011 is his black mark.

He ain't actually even say LeBron was better that's what's funny.

the hosts have shytty bball IQ... to the point it offends me,


they reallly dissing Wilt and Clyde Drexler.

"Jordan going 6 for 6 was a team goal. He had 10 years where he didnt make the FInals"
The funny thing is... If you go back and look up and compare Clyde's season they went to the Finals against MJ, they are damn near identical to Bron's numbers from the last 2 years (not this season but the 2 previous ones)

Dwyane Wade says LeBron James can never be greater than Michael Jordan

"No, it's not possible," Wade told ESPN with a laugh. "It's not possible."

"You can't go past it," Wade said of Jordan's legacy. "How can you? That's as great as it gets, man. The only thing you can do, like I said, is be A-1, A-B. There's no way higher."
