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

[Oroko Saki]

Only a prime Larry Johnson could match up size wise with Lebron at SF

Artest used to give Bron problems too but hes just too slow now

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Be real, do you actually think Detlef Schrempf and Gary Payton have even the slightest chance in the world of guarding Lebron?

Imagine Derrick McKey, Dale Ellis or Sean Elliot guarding him..

 

[Wacky D]

lebron is clearly a better talent than jordan, imo.

he still has work to do if he wants to surpass him tho.

but even if he surpasses jordan, that doesnt neccessarily mean that hes the goat. thats why i dont get into the jordan/lebron talk. people act like jordan is the undisputed goat or something.

Jordan > LeBron

the only argument i keep hearing for LeBron is that he's bigger...so what? this nikka was SHUT DOWN by the Mavericks in the Finals... Imagine Jordan gettin shut down by Jason Terry

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

I talk alot of shyt about Lebron and even for me, it was hard to watch. I still wanted him to lose tho but, the way he lost was just pathetic and sad

it's about who you can defend. i don't see bron chasing a lot of players off screens. Did bron shut down richard hamilton on the pistons with regualrity coming off of screens?!?!

I think a sharp shooting team that can come off screens...like running around rich hamilton, prime ray allen, and reggie miller will be problematic for lebron.
one on one iso i'm sure bron can hold his own with most people...too bad the NBA is not played in that manner most of the time.

jordan had to prove people wrong comming up. No offense...but lebron was an entitled athlete even by the media. Bron us used to being likable....jordan was used to earning respect.

Never Choked in Big Moments

Never Lost in the Finals

I've always hated this phrase. One of the less meaningful arguments there is.

Was More Feared and Respected by Teammates

And how exactly does that equate to be a better player?

 

[Serb]

you blasphemers

 

[HendriX]

It seems like some people are desperately looking for someone to be better than Jordan, lol. Jordan is the Goat basketball player that I ever seen. The youngings need to watch a couple of full games of Michael Jordan to understand how Mike dominated the league.

I dont agree with Stan's opinion..but he's hardly a youngin

you got

bird
west
pippen
barkley
etc,

saying bron is either gonna end up being better than him or is at least as good as him.

You tell me they dont know their shyt?

 

[nalej]

How bout we compare numbers instead of everyone coming up with their own worthless opinion?

 

[J-Fire]

bron would have been skinnier in the 90's if he was doing what he was doing.

training changed and everyone wanted to be mike...even 7footers in lebrons time today want to be like mike. Thats why we have verstaile 7 footers post Jordan era cause everyone wanted to play on the wing.

What kind of numbers can show you Lebron effectively guarding the 1 through 5?

 

[J-Fire]

big guys in the 90's clogging the paint and early 2g would have lebron heated and out of rhytm. Prime Jordan would not be worried about chris bosh cappin his shot, haha. Jordan went in the paint with the ewings, rodamns, shaq, robinson, etc....but he had a finese game to handle those big guys. Jordan would really get to the rim today, lol.

 

[J-Fire]

jordan on the wizards was with the modern superstar on mcgrady, carter, iverson, ray allen, peirce, kobe.......and jordan still dropped 20 a game on a bad knee!
