Think about it this way because MJ and Bron played in different era. Which player was most dominant and achieved more success in their respective era. MJ without question and that's why it is stupid to compare Bron since his story is still being written. 6 championships don't matter but 6 FMVP is the measuring stick. Bron is not even close

Scottie is the second best player in Chicago history as far as I'm concernedJordan had the best fukkin team in the L... in the east by FAR. but nikkas got blinders on i swear

I think I can safely say that knowing Chicago will never win another title

When I say 2/5 I mean 2 out of 5. Not 2 wins 5 losses.

He mentioned them because they are wing players.
While I disagree with the premise of this article, I can say it's debatable. There is an argument for LeBron being the most talented player to ever play the game. The stats pretty much bear out. His strongest argument is the Heat and Cavs not making the playoffs after he left. He makes teams better..a lot better. Greatness is another matter entirely, and when it comes to that, LeBron does not hold a candle to Jordan. MJ has the scoring titles, defensive titles, and championships to put him above any other player to ever play the game. Despite his arguments about the level of competition Jordan faced in finals, the league is a little watered down now. The Warriors and Cavs are head and shoulders above any other team in the league today. I'm wondering how either of these teams would fare against Jordan's championship Bulls or the Spurs and Lakers teams from the 2000's. We're talking about a league where James Harden is seen as a top 3 player. This generation of NBA players has put too much emphasis on athleticism as opposed to skill. That's why a near 40 year old Tim Duncan can still flourish - he's up against players with vastly inferior skills. Players like Deandre Jordan are premier centers today but would get eaten alive by a prime Shaq, Duncan, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson etc. You couldn't even intentionally foul Olajuwon, Ewing or Robinson in today's game; they were all 70%+ free throw shooters.
Even if LeBron wins another ring this year (which I hope and think he will), he'd still arguably not be on say, Shaq's level in terms of accomplishments, let alone Jordan, Kobe and Duncan. Shaq has always been the better comparison with Bron in my eyes.
- Both depend heavily on their physical superiority and both have a reputation for underachieving compared to expectations.
- Shaq has four rings (including a three-peat) with all of them coming on teams with at least one other superstar. LeBron has two rings, possibly three soon and also all of them on teams with another major star (I count Kyrie as a blooming superstar).
- Both have incredible individual stats and are among the best to ever play the game when at their peaks. Neither are touching MJ's rings or impact though.
I think this year will be Bron's last or second to last ring. He's definitely proved to be on a comparable level with MJ in terms of individual all-around play and lived up to his hype in that sense. Legacy-wise, however, MJ will end up being remembered as the goat even after LeBron hangs it up. What puts LeBron that much ahead of Shaq for him to have a better chance at being compared favorably to MJ than Shaq? Just the MVP's?

Lebron isn't better than Kobe, let alone Jordan
.426 FG%, 0.176 3PT% , 76FT% ....
I mean seriously, this comparison with MJ is just asinine...really? look at that crap breh
see this is why I don't like Bron as a basketball player. He got people thinking 'athleticism' is more important than real fundamental basketball skills.

Put lebron on the bulls and they win 10 strait
Brons the best possible outcome in a basketball player, Mj is the most successful.
Put Jordan on the Bulls the 2 years he was trying to make the White Sox and they win 8 straight and Hakeem Olajuwon retires with jack shyt.
Bulldozing nikkas while going to the hoop is not fundamental basketball
