I don't really disagree. Lebron would be an absolute monster in the 80s or any era for that matter. He's a great player. He does have holes in his game that Mike didn't have tho. His jumper is inconsistent. We saw Iggy give him trouble defensively for a nice stretch of games until his jump shot started working. I'm basically saying that it's easier to guard Lebron than it was Mike.
Would ROOKIE Michael Jordan be the best player today?

List three things that are all the same thing brehs. Touch around the rim
Eh, Kobe doesn't play around the rim as much, but I've seen bron miss a ton of easy ones, but that's a toss up. But I agree, Bron can pass better, drive better, and he's a far better off ball defender.
See, no bias, and that's not to say Bron isn't good at other things, but I just don't think he's as skilled as Kobe with the basketball. I think MJ is a fusion between the two.
at "I doubt it"? Your ignorance is another giveaway that we aren't built the same. You have no idea who am I or what I'm capable of. You should be more careful. Lots of people you'd probably consider crazy out here.

Nah. What makes Lebron better than Kobe? Chase down blocks? Getting rebounds when the rest of his team is already down the court? I'm sorry I don't see it.
Doesn't seem like you want to see it.

Considering that this is probably the weakest NBA era since the late '70s, I would say yes a rookie version of Jordan would be the best player in the league today.
LeBron is widely considered the best player today, and rookie Jordan was better at getting to the basket than current LeBron and he also had a better jumpshot - however, shaky it was that year.

I do you a favor and let you know that you have asbergers and you repay me with threats?
You dont have to come find me, ill tell you where im at.
I agree. Mike is obviously harder to guard than Lebron but Lebron would be putting up video game stats like MJ too.
People just don't realize how good a scorer/slasher Lebron really is for him to score as consistently and efficiently as he does despite his lack of consistent jump shot. Dude is probably a GOAT-tier finisher and slasher in his prime.
I agree.
You're not worth me finding, that's what I'm telling you. That's what I'm going to say just in case something does happen to you.I do you a favor and let you know that you have asbergers and you repay me with threats?

You're just some internet loser mad. If you had a life you wouldn't take it as seriously.

No, they aren't. Rondo is an elite passer and has elite vision but he's also not nearly as good of a playmaker due to his lack of offensive ability.
Kobe is actually a very talented passer but his overall vision is pretty "meh" due to his tunnel vision.
Creativity is the ability to make difficult passes in a variety of positions that most people can't see. Playmaking is the ability to create easy opportunities for your teammates with your offensive ability. Passing is the ability to hit your teammates in rhythm and in their preferred pocket with the proper pass for that situation. Lebron is elite in every single one of those aspects.
Oh, Lebron is also better at managing the PnR but Kobe never seemed to enjoy doing it as much.
It's not a toss up. Lebron has posted SHAQ numbers of efficiency and many more attempts around the rim than Kobe has ever done despite the fact that teams typically play off of Lebron and try to deny him access to the rim at all costs. Kobe has never posted Lebron levels of efficiency near the rim.
Skill isn't just footwork and how pretty your game is. Lebron has goat-tier balance and body control (Especially in his athletic prime) which is how he's able to finish like he does through contact. You're thinking about Lebron right now that he's lost a step but I'm talking Lebron across his entire career.
I thought you were autistic, but you might actually be retarded.
If i were to pull 10 random posts from you, i guarantee 8 or 9 of them would be aggressive and angry.
If anybody takes this too serious its your dumb ass. You should be tending to your kids instead of coming in every thread mad as hell tryna argue with people.
I come on here for basketball talk and amusement. You come on here to release the pent up frustration from your sh*tty life.
You need help lil homie.
