Kobe isn't even Top 10 all-time.
He can't be in the discussion with Jordan. Ever.

As far as Jordan's career...
Lost in the 1st round 3 years in a row.
Then lost in the ECF 3 years in a row.

I only mention that to say this: if Lebron James...in this day in age lost in the 1st round 3 years in a row, then failed to get to the finals the next 3 years...he'd be DESTROYED by the fans and media.
Jordan ultimately went on to 6 Titles and an insane legacy. Great for him.

Lebron has gone on to 3 titles since that Dallas Mavericks disaster. He's doing great.

MJ would win his 4th NBA title in his age-32 season. (Yeah, the retirement. I know...)
Lebron is in the middle of his age-32 season and has 3 NBA titles. I'd say he's been amazing.

...especially if you're one of these new school cats who argues that the 90s were watered down and today's league is better... :troll:
(I'm not making that argument, but I had to troll a few certain posters)
if you're going to post stuff like this, at the very least you could either put some actual thought into it to do some research 1st. I'm going to assume you're not old enough to know what you're talking about. Jordan WAS killed by the media when the Bulls loss to the Pistons. he was criticized from the time he came into the league for being a scorer and not a player like magic. how a guy who lead the league in scoring couldn't lead a team to title.

as for Jordan losing in the 1st rd his 1st 3 years in the year, if you're not gonna give context for your arguments then whats the point?

TYRONE GA!
The fact that so many people won't even entertain the idea that maybe Jordan isn't the best ever says all you need to know about the ridiculous levels that people have propped him up to.

I don't have a problem with MJ being #1 on somebody's list. But I also don't have a problem with Kareem being #1 on somebody's list.
And I think that Lebron James is forcing his way into the discussion for potentially going down as the best player himself.

I agree with you except the last part. Too many finals embarassments for me personally to see Bron passing :mjgrin: or Cap. I still have Magic over Bron too. shyt, you can add Bill Russell as well.

If Bron adds 2 or 3 more titles, then :lupe:

Love Kareem

But he did play in the pre-merger 70s where there's a lot of inflated statistics

And MJ ain't letting Magic and Worthy win 1 FMVP let alone 4

:francis:Hate to agree with his annoying azz but he might be right.

Hes being harsh but hes trying to make a point. They arent as far apart as many like to think. When people compare the two, everyone loves nitpicking Lebron, but youre not allowed to nitpick Jordan. Not because you can't, but because it's blasphemy if you do. Well, he just nitpicked Jordan in 3 mins using facts only.:manny: If Jordan was truly untouchable, then this literally wouldn't be possible.
I mean go ahead and nitpick but only 3 sets of teams have won a 3 peat post merger, Jordan led 2 of them:mjgrin:

The last 6 years he started the season with Chicago his team won it all:mjgrin:

True wasn't but Jordan wasn't heralded as the Chosen One and King before ever setting foot on a professional basketball game. The expectations were much higher for LeBron, which he's exceeded.

Wtf this dumb fukk talking about

I like lebron and at the end of his career he could finish top 3 or 4 behind jordan and Kareem, but if lebron had to face the Celtics of the 80s and the pistons of the late 80s going through the east and playing with the nba rules back then, when the chief, dirty ass danny ainge, mahorn, sally, rodman, etc clogging the middle when he go to the basket he wouldn't have the benefit to cry to the refs begging for a call or league offices suspending another player for calling him a bytch... He would have to man up...

I'm tired of these fools trying their hardest to put Lebron over jordan...

And the benchmark for someone being the "chosen one" is Jordan :mjgrin:

Lebron doesn't get that hype without Jordan. The hype comes from someone being the next Jordan.

Jordan and Tiger have made so many people so much more money than they would have if they didn't come around :wow:

Jordan would hang 60 on Golden State if Dray tried to kick him in the nuts.

Dray would get handled with the swiftness in a pre-Malice at the Palace NBA. Old 80s & 90s goons would square up with that nikka and whoop his ass on live TV like they in a back alley :mjlol:

Jordan teams have never had the number one seed and lost on the ECF, let alone the second round.

:skip: Caliber argument. Look at the bulls rosters that got the top seed and their competition. Those 2009 and 2010 cavaliers second best player was Mo Williams and their coach was Mike brown as opposed to Scottie and Phil. Can we all stop with these arbitrary arguments like this and actually break the game down? @The Dankster you still have the data from the 2009 ECF and the 2010 semifinals on file right? I can't store all that on my phone.
