Lakers Offseason

But he hasn't even passed Magic though.
Stan Van Gundy says Lebron James is already better than Michael Jordan
- Thread starter Remarkable
- Start date
But he hasn't even passed Magic though.
the woat retort for the woat argument breh.
before jordan won his 1st title, you dont think he was getting criticized left and right?
people used to call him a choker. yeah he was a great individual player but nowhere near a great player.
Jordan had to learn to trust his teamates, bron had to learn to trust himself. Bron reached 3 nba finals and won a title at 28. Jordan won his first at 29
Bron's career is not even over yet so he has time to win more rings cause that seems to be the main knock on him.

...everyone sees his potential to be one of the GOATS, but at this moment that's all it is. It's all about perspective. Bron looks different, so it seems like he's doing something different when he's really not. His MVP numbers last year were essentially MJ's rookie season numbers! As dude stated earlier in the thread, MJ finished a season with a 30 + ppg, 8 boards, 8 assists, 3 stls, and 1 blk on 54% shooting! We've seen what Bron is doing before, but just not in this package. People are enamored by his size and athleticism and the possibilities that can be reached. If you asked someone to describe Larry Bird's game, they go straight to the shooter/scorer angle....even though Bird was a double digit rebounder. Perspective. Bron is still battling to seperate himself from a 24 year old in OKC who happens to be putting up similar numbers. Their games look different but 29 ppg, 4 assist, 7 rebs on 50/40/90 shooting isn't THAT much different than what Bron is doing now...but his LOOK different...perspective.

Breh, I'm a Heat fan; I have never seen Lebron guard the 4 and 5 effectively because he hardly play defense on the 4 and 5. In fact, when Boozer, Melo, West,Jefferson, Alridge,and Hibbert goes ham againt my home team, Lebron didn't play defense against them.
Motherfukk you and the slut that birthed yor fakkit ass.

If Mike played in Todays League he'd get to the line 15 times a game
LeBron is great though.
Jordan just had the perfect package of finnese, power and speed

...MJ averaged 6 assists his rookie year and had a season averaging 8 before he won a title. Where does that equate to not trusting his teammates? His first playoff series he avg 8.5 assists! Does that sound like someone who doesn't trust his teammates and someone who's just a great individual player. You're spewing crap you've heard...no way you watched MJ for real.Gil Scott-Heroin

Naw. Ain't NOBODY getting to the line 15 times a game. Unless that was one of sole objectives of the team. Which is not realistic at all.
The shyt i read on here........ Getting assists doesnt always equal trusting your teamates in late game situations breh. If you seen him play you know plenty of time he did passes out of shots. and yeah i've seen him play breh. i've been watching the nba since the early 90's.
What the fukk? nikkas on here doesnt even try to make sense nowadays.
Why you think he kept getting his wig pushed back by the pistons before 91?

Imagine Jordan scoring 8 points in a Finals game and lookin like he generally didn't want to be there

27ppg, 8 reb, 4 assist
29ppg, 5 reb, 6 assist
32ppg, 7 reb, 6 assist
The better questions is, do those numbers look like MJ was the REASON the Bulls got beat by the Pistons?
And I noticed how you added "in late game situations" after getting owned about MJ just being a great solo act that didn't trust his teammates. To get a feel for what kinda teammates MJ had to trust before he started winning...MJ led the team in 4 statistics his rookie year! It's ok to admit that highlights of MJ doing work on offense has you confused about how great of an all around player he was as soon as he stepped foot outta Chapel Hill.

Nice way to move the goal post.On one hand kobe stans say "Kobe had 3 rings by age 23!!!" but when kobe score 8 points on 20% he was "inexperienced".Jordan and Lebron can't score 8 points in a finals game like kobe did and still get a championship.Just shows how kobe Benefited from playing with shaq for 3 rings

You dont see me mocking Lebron's first finals, do you? He was young & inexperienced. So he got swept. I let that one slide
Even though I shouldn't because he actually played better in that one
