And in no way am I saying that Lebron isnt awesome. I love watching him play, but Jordan was on another level completely.

Jordan was on another lvl, in the early 90's. Today Jordan would be just like a Kobe or a Lebron or a tracy McGrady or countless others. But hey no arguing from me, when Jordan was in his prime he was something special to watch no question.
I think people really forget how good jordan was.
Jordan : 6 World Championships.
James :
Case closed.
JORDAN is and always will be KING... Kobe is still better then lebron i mean sure lebron can score but were are the rings?? you cant even start to compare him to kobe yet alone jordan until he wins a lot more championships
Still think so? He is a choker Jordan was a champ
6 RINGS in the NBA's GREATEST ERA!!! There will be no other
lebron is nothing like jordan and ill tell you why, number 1: cant make clutch free throws/free throws horrible anyways. 2. legron has an ugly shot, a more smooth shot can be more consistant. lebron is a power player and must use his strength, hes nowhere near as athletic or agile as MJ.
LeBron may have had a stellar start to his career, but he will not be anywhere close to Jordan w/o the rings. If he stays in Cleveland, it will never happen. Depending on where he signs after he becomes a FA, he could win a few, but not the # that Jordan had.
Lebron James isn't even the best player in the NBA right now. Does that make Kobe Bryant better than Jordan as well?
Michael took four average NBA players wearing Bulls jerseys with him on the court at the same time and elevated THEIR games. When their performance lagged, he took over and dominated. He was a complete player, a leader, and GOAT.
When LeBron starts winning rings with Cleveland, then I'll consider entertaining LeBron-Jordan thoughts. Until that time, LeBron is very good, but he ain't no MJ.
Lebron is no MJ and he is no Bird, no Magic, and no Kobe for that matter. He is a hell of a player but just not there yet and may never be. I don't see what the rush is to crown he as the greatest ever.
Look at all the guys that were playing with jordan. they were all very good players. lebron doesnt have that kind of team so his stats are gonna be higher. If he goes to brooklyn maybe he can share the spotlight with lil wayne and master p or whatever. thatd be a dream team.
Lebron and Vince Carter.....together at last
Lebron isn't even the best player in the game right now. If we were holding a draft I could think of 5 players to take ahead of Lebron.
1. Kobe
2. Chris Paul
3. Dewayne Wade
4. Tim Duncan
5. Deron Williams
6. Dwight Howard
7. Kevin Garnett
the best point made so far is that he is still so young. he's like 22. and you're trying to compare him to maybe the greatest ever? thats ridiculous. same for saying not having the rings like J makes him worse.. this isn't the same league it was back then. who won in jordans time? the bulls and celtics. now its spread out all over the place and there is so much more talent spread across the team.
i'm not sure how you can say jordan had no good teammates, they were probably some of the best in the league while lebron has... none..?
i agree that kobe is the best of this era, of current players, and very high up among the greatest of all time. but not the highest up. look how some people before him changed the game and look at kobe. he's just the best at it now, nothing really new to it.
If we're having an all time draft and I have first pick, I'm taking Magic Johnson over Jordan, Lebron, and Kobe.
What about Shawn Bradley?
You can never go wrong with Magic but I think Russell, Wilt, or Oscar might also be great picks.
i am a huge kobe bryant fan. jordan was amazing in his time and kobe is amazing in this time
Kobe still has better days ahead of him and with the roster he has behind him I think he has more rings coming his way. By the time that its all done I think he will be right up there with Jordan.
the DWADE spammer is here! lol
I'll take the Flash over prince james any day.
Nobody ever would argue that Jordan wasn't the best in the game when he was playing. The same is definitely not true for Lebron.
Enough said. When Lebron is universally accepted as the best in the game then maybe we can have this conversation.
Better comparison would be Jordan and Magic. Still no comparison really.
There is no way James is better then Jordan. Jordan set the mark for all players in the NBA with both talent and class.
I think it's hilarious how beloved he is/was when it's common knowledge that he was a total cock
Everyone is compared to Jordan.... there is a reason for that. Period.
Anyone see that dunk Rondo made last night?
Reminded me of Jordan.
^^^that's not fair. So if Lebron wins 7 he's better?
Jordan has played with the best of all time. Bird, Magic, Barkley, Malone.. and so on.
Who the hell has James played? Kobe...
jordan is by far the best of all time.. he could take a game over any time he wanted
james might some day get there but not there yet
also james is not going to nyc now that the browns traded edeards to the jets after he punched james friend.. i think that's by the browns traded him to ny
darko milicic = best of all time
cannot compare the two. In terms of skills Jordan has it over lebron. even in terms of athletisism - jordan in his prime was quicker faster and was a quicker jumper. The thing lebron has over jordan is sheer size in combination with being a above average athlete. Lebron weight averages between 240 and 245 pounds. the heaviest jordan played 220.
Kobe's better than both
The argument right now is if lebron is vs kobe, and that ones too close to call. The true lebron-jordan argument shouldnt even be considered til (and if) lebron starts winning world championships, then we can talk.
Til then not even close.
