lebron is better than jordan

[qualityclrk1]

Lebron has 3 or 4 inches of a height advantage on michael, and not only that, but between a 20 and 30 pound difference in their weights...Lebron had his chance to be on a dream team.....they came back from the olympics with a bronze!! what a joke- "the best" in the world (the highest paid)...and they come home with a bronze?.....in 1988 michael won the defensive player of the year award...i don't see lebron coming close to winning something w/out the ball in his hands..

nothing is ever as good the second time as it is the first, i get that. what jordan done for basketball, with his domination of the game and merchandising and as a roll model cant be duplicated. however, lebrons stats in his first five years match up closely with jordans and was done by a kid three years younger strait out of high school. jordan had three years at a major university, where he learned the how to deal with the spot light, competition, etc. and lebron coming out of HS where he had never been challanged or pushed. you can see him growing and improving as a player, a leader and a spokesman. he is the first person in any sport to live up to the hype. he not only has the "skillz" on the court, he is well spoken and keeps his nose clean off the court wich is what sets him apart from other great players that have came during the post-jordan era.

though im not excusing it but look at who was on the 88 team

Kobe Bryant was the first from high school, and i'd say he lived up to the hype....

and i don't quite understand the point u were trying to make with talking abuot the 88 team....in 1988 the Olympic Team brought home a bronze....good point if thats the point u were trying to make....i was just saying Michael won the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the year award, which let's face it, isn't something Lebron is going to win....like u said- their stats may be somewhat similar in their early years in everything except steals......
+1 for michael because he can play both sides of the ball

"The Dream Team" i was referring to was the 1992 team....in which they had a stacked team (i think u just mixed up ur years).....so u can say "well if lebron had David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Magic, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, and Patrick Ewing on his team then Lebron would win a gold medal too!!!!...."

If i recall correctly in 1992 the Chicago Bulls won the NBA Finals........Michael beat those guys- those legends ^

what current players can u put on those guys' level?.....where are the legends at?....what great players has Lebron beat?.. What great players has lebron even faced?...

That whole youngest to do this and that is BS! Good example was Mike Tyson, he became champ at 20 and people crowned him already. That didnt turn out so great did it? You judge a player at his peak and after his career is done, then compare. My guess Lebron doesnt even past Magic.

One last note, Mike won a gold medal in 84 straight out of college, and the team consisted of college players. Lebron wins a bronze with pros like Duncan, pathetic .

Moses Malone was the first from high school, sorry had to be a smart ass.
