Stan Van Gundy says Lebron James is already better than Michael Jordan

[Remarkable]

SVG co hosts the Dan Lebatard Show every wednesday and this week he says when comparing the two:

Jordan's a little better scorer, a more creative scorer but Lebron's bigger, faster, handles the ball better and is a better passer. He also said Lebron is better defensively. Called Lebron indefensible.

[...and some waffle fries]

it's ok I can see how he meant to say Kobe. That's my seed.

 

[ThugLife]

He might be right

Take off your nostalgia glasses and realize jordan isn't an invincible basketball god

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

It's pretty obvious.

Jordan was a better scorer, Lebron is bigger, Speed wise they probably even, Jordan had better handles, Lebron is the better passer, Lebron is the more versatile defender. Jordan was indefensible in post from a scoring standpoint, Lebron is getting there but more dangerous with his post passing than scoring...for now

 

[Loose]

Nah

 

[gho3st]

Kobe not competing for a championship for 3 years in his prime is one of the gr8est travesties in basketball history.



@ Lakers management for that shyt.

I don't think so. Lebron is faster.. On the break, his speed is incredible.

why are people bringing up Kobe in this thread

 

[mastermind]

I dont see this as being controversial.

Its starting to look like he is better than Jordan.

Yeah, people just need to separate being better from accomplishments, because that's really going to be the only knock against Bron.

Running off one of the most dominate centers to play the game seems like a travesty as well. Neither one of them was willing to compromise anymore. Should've went down as the greatest duo in sports.

I getting sick of this shyt

nikkas aint see Jordan Play like that; it's no where fukking close, Jordan could kill you from anywehre. I have 0 fears of Lebron winning games on contested jumpsots or even going to the ft line


It's easy to dominate when 80% of your points come from lay ups and dunks. Lebron is a knee injury from irrelevancy............................

 

[CantStop]

It's crazy how one game can change your perception. If Bron lost game 6 to the Celtics in 2012, he would have been known as a yearly choker, not top 15..etc etc

But because of that win, people are claiming he's better than Jordan.

@ the Celtics for this shyt.
