im sick of hearing about MJ to be honest. seems like propaganda with people putting him unchallenged at number 1. when First Take/ESPN said MJ was the best athlete of the last 25 years and acted like it was sacrilege to pt another athlete ahead of him i knew i’d had my fill of the MJ Sports Journalism Industrial Complex.

When people think about the killer instinct, they always think of MJ and Kobe. Do people underestimate your killer instinct? People say you have it but not like those two. Do you think you have it like they do?


James: Ahh. I'll just put it this way, man. There are different ways to hunt. I watch the Discovery Channel all the time, and you look at all these animals in the wild. And they all hunt a different way to feed their families. They all kill a different way. Lions do it strategically -- two females will lead, and then everybody else will come in. Hyenas will just go for it. There are different ways to kill, and I don't think people understand that. Everybody wants everybody to kill the same way. Everybody wants everybody to kill like MJ or kill like Kobe. Magic didn't kill the way they killed. Does that mean he didn't have a killer instinct? Kareem didn't either. But does that mean Kareem didn't have a killer instinct? The same with Bird. That doesn't mean you don't have a killer instinct. Tim Duncan don't kill likeMichael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, but I've played against Tim Duncan twice in the Finals and I know for sure he's got a killer instinct. So there are different ways to kill. MJ had a killer instinct for sure. But if people really think that MJ didn't talk to nobody and didn't smile on the court, they're crazy. They're crazy. I've seen him. I was watching a clip the other day of him blocking Charles Barkley, and they're laughing about the play -- on the floor. Right now, if I block Kevin Durant on the floor, or I block Carmelo Anthony and we laugh about it? Ahh, I'm going to get killed [laughing]. I'm telling you. But there are different ways of killing.
People combine Michael Jordan youth with his prime with how the emotionally feel and create this player that can't be touch. That cannot be further from the truth. He's a great but he's not invisible as his fans think.

Can you lay out some examples with researchable facts of where MJ should not be considered the best? No opinions just display examples of his basketball short comings that we all can clearly see. Thanks
