Crazy to see that in a game. Didn't Jordon jump from the free throw line?
Amazing!! But dude ain't 6'9" & 278 pounds.
I know its a bodybuilding board but can you imagine whats going on in lebron James's Genetics, thats probably the furthest out anyone ever jumped in an NBA game and at that weight....

he's jumping what,, 5 meters?lol, you are a moron sir!
consider world record is over 9 meters it's not that impressive
lol, you are a moron sir!why, because it's one of your bro's?
Amazing!! But dude ain't 6'9" & 278 pounds.exactly, the guy is amazing but in reality, 6'6" 245-250 still very big.
Lebron doesn't have MJ's will to dominate but in terms of skills he's only second to Kobe.none of these guys today hold a candle to Jordan, Magic or Larry Bird, bunch of fucckin' wannabe's.

lebron is better the MJ was at the same age. He will be better overall then mj, the sport evolves man.no he won't, i'll GAURANTEE you he won't, do you honestly think Lebron will end his career with 6 NBA titles and 6 MVP's?
no he won't, i'll GAURANTEE you he won't, do you honestly think Lebron will end his career with 6 NBA titles and 6 MVP's?totally different eras man, back then there were usually only 4-5 teams that competed every year, and the same teams were good year after year. theres a reason nobody has repeated since 2002-the competition is WAY beyond what it was.

mvps and rings are not indicative of how good someone is solely, his team and a guy named scotty pippen helped out. Your team has to win to be considered for mvp,garnett was the best PF in the league for quite some time but never got recognition as such.i don't think so, at the end of his career we'll see, Jordan averaged 37 fuccking points a game one year, Lebron will never do that.
lebron will have multiple MVP's, the titles i dont know. He will put up better numbers then mj however.

think of it this way. put '86 larry bird in the league today, he'd do well but probably not great. put Lebron or Kobe in the 80's league, and they would fuckin dominate. i mean the 80's celtics were a model of fundamentally sound basketball, but they were ALL WHITE for gods sake, they would simply get hurt by the top teams today.
thats because of that guy named TIM DUNCAN
right because duncan team was better, garnett is the better player.wrong. how bout you compare their comapre their career individual playoff stats? :)
Cavs have him listed at 240. But he looks jacked this season. Maybe the fountain of GH flows thru Cleveland, or maybe he just discovered good nutrition.
Here is some real Free Throw line dunks.
Not in game. But better.

jordan travelled all the time. who cares? i like lebron cuz he's not a ghetto thug with wasted potential (see: allen iverson). he's still a kid and has time to get better, provided he stays healthy. also, still seems to have the fighting spirit that we don't see that often in sports anymore. it was a life or death mission for him to win the gold in china after getting pwned in 04.
will he be better than jordan, the greatest athlete on the planet of all time? i don't know but he's got another 10 or so seasons to show us.
james white between the legs dunk from the free throw line
james white compilation
wha allen iverson is wasted potential? mvp,first team all nba, scoring titles. lol
john matrix
garnett has similar numbers, slightly better rebounding and much better assist avg.. I also beleive he is better on the ball then duncan and is more versatile. Well its obvious he is better on the ball.
why, because it's one of your bro's?lol, im not a bro.
::)

lol, im not a bro.Damn "Big Bro," with a name like that, you must be huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
My original nickname was big bastard, but it was apparently to explicit for the getbig mods.
i remember watching mj as a kid. he use to play for his life in every match.
"match?" WTF are you talking about ?

Maybe the fountain of GH flows thru Cleveland, or maybe he just discovered good nutrition.Im just assume most pro athletes take gh at least. Why the hell wouldn't they? They're bodies are their #1 priority, they can sure as hell afford it, it's not obvious like roids(giambi), and it's un-detectable. No brainer.

lebron is better the MJ was at the same age. He will be better overall then mj, the sport evolves man.
Yeah, in a dunk contest, thats the furthest out Ive ever seen in an actual game though.
lebron went to my old high school in akron, OH.
When the high school Bball season ended in the spring of his senior year, he signed with Nike for 90 million bucks. He was an 18-year old, going to class, worth 90 million dollars. He got a new Hummer with all the fixins and drove it to school.
Funny thing----- Nike and Reebok were having a bidding war with him - they both put up billboards near the school where lebron drove home everyday, with phrases like "What will YOU do?", etc, targeting Lebron. Pretty smart.
He lived near my old grandma's house in this projects/ apartment building. Real shithole. He didn't play much at the local playground tho - always in prep school, destined for NBA from beginning. Played HS football and was a major star in that til sophmore year, when he realized he'd be top NBA pick by focusing on that. ESPN would cover the high school regular season games just to see him dunk on kids 40 times. He had an NBA body by 10th grade.

MJ had a "clutch" factor that was passed on to Tiger Woods.

Lawrence Taylor is the greatest football player who ever lived.Lawrence Taylor,outside LB,6-4,250lb,ran the forty in 4.45

I actually think it's just the opposite. I think for the most part the level of competition is NOT what it used to be in the 80's and 90's. Not to mention the game then was MUCH MORE physical. Today, you are not even allowed to handcheck a person. Take a look at the battles between Detroit and Chicago back then. Look at Barkley, bird, Laimbeer and a host of others and how people were literally mauled when they drove to the hole. Back then, it was nothing but a personal foul (very personal). Today it's a flagrant foul if you'd even think of knocking someone to the ground like that. I do think Lebron is a phenomonal talent, but overall I don't think he comes anywhere near Jordan. I hate the guy, but I think Kobe is the closest thing we've seen this generation to Jordan, both in titles and in overall talent (ability to create his own shot, cosistent jumper, fundamentals, defense, taking over games, championships, etc..)
Actually Nike offered him 10 million to skip his senior year of high school and play in Europe till he would have been allowed to be in the NBA draft. He said his high school team was more important and wanted to win another state title with them. But right before the state tournament, he signed autographs at a local card shop. The owner gave him 3 throw-back jerseys as payment, which Lebron accepted. It was found out and he was suspended for one play-off game, which his school still won. He knew he was getting the 90mill in about a month, yet still took the jerseys. Didn't sound like a guy that cared about his team. He was lucky, as he could have been suspended for the rest of the year.
Oh 240, Lebron had a Hummer long before he was done with the season and signed with Nike. His mom, who was unemployed, was still able to finance one for a Christmas present. The dealership knew that Lebron would be able to pay it off in 6 months. He could have been DQed for the season for that too.
That last incident spawned the joke:
What does Lebron James and a boy from West Virginia have in common ?
They both got their first hummers from their Mom ! ;D
Also check some old youtube clips of Clyde Drexler. He also jumped from the freethrow line in a game and if my memory serves me correct, it actually was a step further back than Lebron. Also, I'm sure Lebron does not weigh 278 lbs. NBA.com has him listed at 250 lbs. I think that's a little more believable. Karl Malone carried a lot more muscle and size then Lebron did at that height and I don't believe even he was that heavy.

Are you just regurgitating everything i've said?
No he did'nt
These guys have been strolling all over the court since the 80s. The travelling rule is strictly optional.Jordan was a much better defensive player than Lebron will ever be, not even comparable.
I'd be more interested in these guys percentages than points per game. Jordan was one of the greatest for sure, but as I remember the man ALWAYS had the ball. Of course he scored more points than anyone else. I'd be curious to see a comparison of points scored vs. time with the ball. I bet Pippen would be way ahead, probably on percentages too.
Even more than that, show their overall stats to show who's the greatest, including defensive stats. 5 good players playing solid team ball will beat 5 great players playing for individual glory. I haven't watched the NBA in years but it had turned into a game of star player vs star player, all offense, who can dunk with the greatest flourish, etc, last time I tuned in.
Sorry for the rant. The old man is a Hoosier.

I don't believe any player is so incredible that you just can't stop him all game long.
Jordan and Shaq might have something to say about that.
I'll agree that they weren't stopped. That's what I mean. Defense in the pros consisted of taking a rebound.
The Pistons collapsed on Jordan, they still couldnt stop him, there are exceptions to every rule.Benard King of the Knicks shitted on the pistons too ...

Trust me Lebron would be good no matter what era he played in, but to say he would destroy the 80's players is ridiculous.
Many of todays guys are dunkers. You think if you put Kobe, Lebron, Wade, etc. back in the 80's they would ever dunk on guys like Barkely, Ewing, Bird, Malone. . . . . . . hell even guys like Charles Oakley or Anthony Mason would knock these guys on their ass if they tried any of these highlight dunks you see everyday now.
Thats the most assanine thing I have EVER heard. No one will be better than MJ, period.
his stats are better at the same age.
Lol no, Jordan was averaging 37 points a game at the same age as Lebron now, 3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game as a GUARD
totally different eras man, back then there were usually only 4-5 teams that competed every year, and the same teams were good year after year. theres a reason nobody has repeated since 2002-the competition is WAY beyond what it was.
