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

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

This is the basis of my thread from a few days back. People don't want to even face it. However, rose tinted glasses is something that I don't have. Hell, I even named one of my daughters Jordan (Jordyn) but like I said in the thread, he's not better now, but he is a lot closer than people want to admit.

He's not better defensively then Mike

I getting sick of this shyt

nikkas aint see Jordan Play like that

are you sure you saw Jordan play as much as you think, or were just a victim of how dope the Space Jams were.


If you told me one player was 260 lbs but as fast, taller, longer, with close to the same level of explosion, and could effectively guard 4 positions effectively, is a great passer, and could score about 28 a game shooting 56 percent while getting 8 rebounds and 8 assist a game, I will tell you want I that player over every other one I have seen.

I saw Jordan's prime, and Jordan was amazing but Lebron is looking like a better player than jordan right now.

Jordan is a better scorer, better jump shooter, better in the post, and has better handles but that is pretty much it.


I'll put it like this, he may not be there now, but it aint because of talent or productivity. Its about accomplishments now.

You're like 25 breh. How did you see Jordan's prime?

Everything set up perfectly for Jordan, he came in when there was great competition, played in a huge market, great showmanship, shoes were perfect for the era, had heartbreaking playoff losses, got the perfect coach and sidekick, dominated. Messed up with the gambling, had to sit out, came back and dominated.

It just seemed like Jordan was playing for more than rings

@ 25

I saw Jordan's prime. Im old enough to remember all of his great moments in the 1990s.

shyt, I remember (pre HIV) Magic Johnson and Larry Bird playing.

I KNOW you dont remember Shaq as a rookie.



And unlike Bilz with Kobe, I fukking love Jordan. I like Jordan, the player, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Lebron.

However, my eyes are telling me that this dude Lebron could, and should, be seen as a better player than Jordan.

Yeah, Lebron is much better than Jordan. Jordan was great but Lebron was born to play Basketball. He was like my little cousin was made to play Football. You can look at him and tell he was going to the sport legend.

 

[tae29]

who do you want when the game is on the line

 

[CantStop]

mastermind IS JORDAN'S Bliz.
nikka BE IN ALLLLLL THE MJ THREADS THROWING SALT FOR YEARS.

This is a laughable thread. Lebron is more physically gifted but he is not a better basketball player than Jordan.

What could Jordan do better than Lebron? I don't think MJ could do much better than Lebron than glide and dunk better. MJ has a far quicker first step but Lebron first step is good and his train when attacking because he's like 270.

Lebron does every Basketball skill as good or much better than Jordan. The foolishness out of your mouth right now is illogical. Jordan is more exciting than Lebron. I will say that.

 

[Street Knowledge]

yes he is..

he is better then jordan.. but.. jordan was the God of his era.. where as LBJ is the king of his....

what's a king to a God

How is he better defensively? Because he can guard kendrick perkins?

We can say Jordan had an advantage because he was able to handcheck but I've seen nothing to suggest Lebron is a better man defender then Jordan. Theyre both excellent help defenders though
