In his prime, Michael Jordan thinks he would have defeated LeBron James and other NBA legends in a game of one-on-one. But there’s one matchup Jordan wasn’t sure about.
Jordan was interviewed by Ahmad Rashad for an upcoming promo video for NBA 2K14. He said he’d like to have played games against Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, among others, and was confident in his ability to defeat all comers.
“I don’t think I would lose,” Jordan said, “other than to Kobe Bryant because he steals all of my moves.”
The clip hasn’t yet been fully released, so it’s impossible to say whether Jordan dropped the mic and stared at the camera for seven seconds after delivering that line.
You want to know why MJ’s the greatest? Because he can lower the boom on two future of Hall of Famers in the course of a single sentence. I’m better than LeBron and Kobe is derivative, he’s saying. That’s trash-talking gold.

Jordan would have trouble keeping Lebron back from getting to the rim.
-
It would be close but Jordan could never be stop.
3 guys hanging on him, still score.
Jordan the most unstoppable force offensively with Kobe.
-
jordan got the refs to blow a whistle every time he went down the lane.
kobe USED to get those same calls, hence his early legendary unstoppable status.
Then, the league stopped this, and now we see Kobe being very stoppable.
Lebron gets hammered every time he goes down the lane. I don't see him playing til he's 35 like Kobe or MJ. He gets beaten up nightly. By 31 or 32, he'll lose a year to a major injury, or like Dwight Howard, his shoulders will just give out.

Indiana and Chi will both be beasts in the East.
But BALD LeBron is going to be an animal. He isn't the timid insecure dude trying to impress. He's married and bald now. He's accepted his fate in life and now he's gotten 2 straight rings.
He will be on attack mode like never before.

And?Its true , multiple teams have shown in the playoffs that if you stop Lebron from getting in the paint and his 20 foot pull-up jump shot is off then you can make him score 8 points in an NBA finals game (lol) and shut him down for the series.Jordan was never stopped.

Michael would have LeBron beaten before the game even started.
LeBron would end up lying on the court in the fetal position by the time the game was over and it would have nothing to do with who's better physically.
-
why don't he play him now , years ago when franco harris was closing in on jimmy brown's record for total rushing yards. brown challenged him to a contest of football skills. long story short harris won but he wasn't the one to break the record.than brown was going to come back at 48 years old and play for the raiders to put the record higher. he changed his mind.

You must be 15 years old.
Jordan would get beaten on EVERY NIGHT. The Pistons and later the Knicks, whom by the way were more physical than any team currently in the NBA, would put their best defender on Jordan and when he came down the lane, THE ENTIRE TEAM would hack him to death. Jordan would still score over 30 points against them and maybe a double nickel for good measure.
I would have liked to see Lebron do the same thing. I doubt he could do the same. He is playing against teams that are nowhere as physical and has disappeared in a few games already. And I don't want to hear about "well, he wants Wayde and Bosh to get their shots". That's BS. If that's true, then that's even more of a reason to believe that Jordan is still better because Jordan didn't care about anyone else's feelings. If he had to run over his teammates to win, he would do it. That right there solidifies Jordan as the greatest ever. His desire to win and to do anything it took to win.
Another thing, Jordan didn't leave town like a punk and join up with 2 other players in order to even have a chance at smelling the title. Jordan stayed where he was and made everyone around him better. A lot of you say, "oh, he had Pippen". Pippen himself has admitted that Jordan made him into a Hall of Fame player. Every player, coach and manager of those Bulls teams say the same thing. Jordan made the Bulls dynasty. Princess Lebron couldn't do the same thing in Cleveland so he joins up with Wayde and Bosh in Miami. HEHEHEHEHEH! In my eyes that will always be a HUGE black mark in his career.

HEHEHE!
Yeah, Jim Brown at 48 was going to make an NFL team where the safety alone would make him look like an 8 year old boy. Please.
At his prime, Jordan wouldn't even break a sweat with Lebron or with any other basketball player from this current generation.
How soon they forget!!

Oh Lord, you live on a different planet it seems. Jordan actually would get beat up against the Pistons and the Bulls would lose though Jordan was great. But fuck, by the beginning of the 90s he was untouchable and actually the Knicks would get fucked by the refs year after year against the Bulls. Jordan was also great at the game's politics and schemes.

But who would win between spiderman or the hulk ???

Jordan broke through and beat the Pistons. Exiled them.
You sound like a butthurt fan talking about the Knicks getting screwed by the referees. That is the lamest excuse used by losers who can't accept someone being better than them.
Refs? Come on now. Don't be a twink.

He should grow the fuck up and realize he's 50 years old and that basketball is in his past and doesn't define him as a human being .....sad nee grow

Some of the older guys might remember a one on one game between Kareem and Dr. J.
It wasn't even close. Kareem killed him.
Size matters.

I was in 7th or 8th grade watching Jordan murder my beloved Cavs every single night during the playoffs, although we did take it to 7 games when I was in 8th grade. My dad says it was fixed for drama and so they'd all get another game paycheck :)
I believe if Jordan was playing today, he woudln't get the calls he got then.
He would get winged or dinged of any kind of contact, and he'd be on the line. I'd love to see how many PPG he got from the stripe. Yes, he was awesome and amazing, and yes, lebron is an underachieving entitled idiot... but LeBron doesn't get those calls when he gets mugged. nobody does anymore. Call it the youtube result, the donaghey effect, whatever. They call shit more consistently now. Mega stars don't get all those calls like they used to.

True...Mike would do anything to win. Have the opponents wife, kids, and mother kidnap. Have dude's former coach kidnapped and place in cold storage. Whatever it takes, Mike would do it.

Prime Jordan would shit all over Lebron in a game of one on one. Lebron is not a one on one player nor is he particularly great in the post. Lebron is best in transition because he's so big, fast and strong. The only compelling one on one game would be between Jordan and Kobe.

The Michael/Kobe game would be the best to watch. Similar games and both would rather die than lose. That wouldn't be a game, it would be a war.
The one that I find very interesting would be the Michael/Dr. J matchup. I think Michael is probably too quick for Dr. J to stop but I'd be very interested in seeing how Michael would go about keeping Dr. J from scoring.

Remember when Kobe was yelling at Lebron during the All Star Game to "shoot the ball"?
Well, if you don't shoot against Jordan, he's going to annihilate you, and embarass you in the process.

JORDAN > kobe

IF he was 100 % confident about being the greatest of all time he wouldn't feel the need to compare himself to others .......

JORDAN > kobe
I agree, but I think Kobe is closer to MJ than a lot of people think. Although Kobe is a first team all-defense player Jordan is better on that end of the court. Kobe is a better three point shooter than MJ. The big difference to me is that Jordan is better at letting the game come to him and he doesn't try to force things which is where Kobe gets himself in trouble.
All that said, one on one is Kobe and MJ's bread and butter. The two of them going at it would be epic.

Jordan has and always will have a chip on his shoulder...he internalized everything that people said about him and used that as fuel.

Prime Wilt would destroy either of them with ease. Especially if no travelling, palming and carrying the ball were actually enforced.

Yes, Michael is the Arnold of basketball. All others are defeated before taking the court. Dudes an animal.

Lebron would step on Jordan's head on the way to the rim.

great post, pray

Jordan was in a league of his own. No way these guys are even remote threats.

Lebron has two chips and 4 finals appearances at the same age Jordan had one chip.
People like to argue "Lebron went to the finals and couldn't close"...at the same point in his career, Jordan was getting bounced out in the second round ;)

the quality of players sucks ass today, it's all 4th quarter play. Shit, a prime Allen Iverson could dominate now (if he had his head together).

Just keep telling yourself that...you have nothing to refute what I said but "back in my day" bullshit.
High school kids do jordans dunks.

Actually, Jordan became a more complete player when he didn't dunk as much, and became a clutch shooter, which Lebron is not. He also got into the head of his opponents. He not only wanted to beat XYZ one on one, but he wanted to beat the team as well. Lebron is not as headstrong...hell, would Lebron play with the Flu during the finals? Probably not.
there will never be another Jordan, just like there will never be another Lebron.

Lebrons not a clutch shooter....LOLOLOL
Dude I watched Jordan play too... he's the greatest....BUT...if Lebron keeps doing what He's doing.. he won't be the greatest for long.
People remember "their" guy and "their" era fondly... and don't like it fucked with. Me.. I'm objective.

Maybe...I am just not impressed with him...he needed a damn team around him to achieve what he has. Jordan had Pippen, and some streak three point shooters and a clumsy Center.
True, we remember "their guy" and their era...Kobe is a yr or two younger than me, and going thru my 20s to 30s, as the same time he was, I just never saw him taking it to Jordan's level.
Lebron's way younger, and although he is a beast, does he have that ice water running thru his veins?
*The guy that really effed it up is Jason Williams. Would have been nice to see what he could have done in a Bulls uniform.

Did you not watch the 2 finals where Lebron stunk up the joint, getting shut down by an 87yr old Jason Kidd?where he scored 8 points in an nba finals game?where he needed a hero 3 from ray Allen to take it to a game 7, of which Jordan never needed a game 7 in the finals?Where he had to bail on his team and form a super team elsewhere to win?Where he gets the best free agent ring chasers to join his team?
You need the ability to put wins in ro context to be able to compare Jordan and Lebron, and there really is no comparison, I can't find a playoff series where Jordan got outplayed by another player, I can find you loads where Lebron got outplayed.

Like I said earlier while Lebron was having a bad series in the finals...Jordan was sitting home

Without MJ, the Bulls almost made it back to the Finals.
Without LBJ, Cavs went from Finals to 1st lottery pick pretty quick.
I worshipped MJ and still say he's one of the greats. Lebron went to same high school as me, but I've always seen him as entitled and pampered. But there is ZERO way MJ would be able to defend Lebron, and yeah, Lebron would shut down MJ on defense (or, well, the ref would just give Mike the whistle and let him throw himself into lebron).
Nutrition, GH, training, call it whatever progress reason you want. Lebron is just better. He's bigger, stronger, probably faster and at the SAME AGE, Lebron beats him. We'll see how many rings and MVPs Lebron has by the time he's 35 or 37.

You have a very simplified view of the game, Lebrons team fell apart as they were constructed to function as a product of Lebron being a ball dominant player, much like Jordan's teams of 84-89 would have dropped off massively without him, from 90 onwards when his team got better he played more off the ball.

Ha ha...what a load of crap :D
Seems you arnt much of a basketball fan, just a snippet, this was his most ball dominant stage but earlier in his career he had the ball far more on the shot clock, just goes to show had he been put in Lebrons role of facilitator for his entire career the kind of insane stats he would have put up, the team would have been built round him just like Lebron, with mainly 3 point specialists to pass out of the double team and defensive specialists, just like Cleveland, and just like Cleveland, had he left the Bulls the win column would have collapsed due to a gaping hole in the way the team was built.....
"
With all the talk about LeBron James‘ current run of five straight games of 30 points at the 70% clip and how it may be the best stretch of games in NBA history – some may have forgotten Michael Jordan‘s insane run of triple-doubles during the 1988-89 season.
In an experimental move by head coach Doug Collins, the Bulls moved Jordan to point guard for part of the season and as only Jordan can, he responded with 10 triples doubles in 11 games. (edit: okay, maybe Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird could have , if they were so challenged).
In that eleven game run, Jordan averaged 33.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 11.4 assists. Mr. Jordan would finish that season with a total of 15 triple-doubles, three short of Magic Johnson’s record of 18 in one season. As amazing as Jordan’s stretch was, there was one glaring problem – the Chicago Bulls were just 5-6 in that span. In comparison, LeBron’s five games have all resulted in wins – let’s see if LeBron can keep up his pace."

Bulls without Jordan won I think 55 games in 1994. They added Toni Kukoc who was pretty good though.
How many would the Heat win without LeBron? I don't think they'd win 55 but maybe 50.
Would be a good matchup, too bad Jordan is 50 and not 30.

True story: Wilt is the reason you have to stand still while shooting free throws. He was bad at them so for a while he would just take off running and dunk them from the free throw line.

Truth is Wilt was a freak athlete way before Lebron or anyone else! He had sprinter speed along with size and strength! My uncle went to Overbrook High with Wilt in Philly!
-
True story: Wilt is the reason you have to stand still while shooting free throws. He was bad at them so for a while he would just take off running and dunk them from the free throw line.
that's true. wilt tried out for the nfl as a lark, he outran the fastest guy on the team while wearing sandals and bermuda shorts. no one could stop him from catching passes. QB couldn't throw over him when he was on defense. was blocking field goal attempts standing by goalline. only problem is he only wanted to play QB that was a deal breaker.
-
Yes Wilt would beat MJ and LeBron 2-on-1 then impregnate both their wives 2-on-1.
Here is Wilt against Ayatollah Khomeini, he was old and past his prime here.
-
they were taller lankier longer skinnier at the time. And playing against people just like them. Nutrition, drugs, training were a joke compared to what they are nowadays. Fact is lebron has a scary combo of speed, weight , strenght , and shooting skill. It's pointless to compare him to people form another era anyway. Fact is nowadays in this era, he shits on everyone else, and kobe is lucky he didnt have to face him more often. At the moment i d say that for various reasons lebron has a fucking highway to success in front of him cause there s no real oposition (bryant getting old and tired as fuck, durant being mostly a shooter, howard being an injury prone immature underachiever) and cause his team is stacked beyond belief. He also gained lots of confidence. The real mastermind behind all of this is pat riely tho, make no mistake.

kevin durant vs wilt chamberlain. durant could barely bench press the bar out of college, wilt could do over 500 lbs. no contest durant would be laying on the court in the fetal position if he had to face wilt. he made ah-nuld feel like a beta.

Wilt could dunk over anyone without breaking a sweat. lebron has to put all his energy in motion when he brings it to the rim. Wilt would dominate over Lebron...

Lebron has two chips and 4 finals appearances at the same age Jordan had one chip.
People like to argue "Lebron went to the finals and couldn't close"...at the same point in his career, Jordan was getting bounced out in the second round ;)
Jordan also went to college for three years and barely played his second season in the nba. Comparing their age is misleading.
Besides it was two different eras. Personally, I thought the level of competition was much higher in Jordan's day but whatever
-
I was in 7th or 8th grade watching Jordan murder my beloved Cavs every single night during the playoffs, although we did take it to 7 games when I was in 8th grade. My dad says it was fixed for drama and so they'd all get another game paycheck :)
I believe if Jordan was playing today, he woudln't get the calls he got then.
He would get winged or dinged of any kind of contact, and he'd be on the line. I'd love to see how many PPG he got from the stripe. Yes, he was awesome and amazing, and yes, lebron is an underachieving entitled idiot... but LeBron doesn't get those calls when he gets mugged. nobody does anymore. Call it the youtube result, the donaghey effect, whatever. They call shit more consistently now. Mega stars don't get all those calls like they used to.
mark price one of my favorite players ever bro a very underrated point guard
-
that's true. wilt tried out for the nfl as a lark, he outran the fastest guy on the team while wearing sandals and bermuda shorts. no one could stop him from catching passes. QB couldn't throw over him when he was on defense. was blocking field goal attempts standing by goalline. only problem is he only wanted to play QB that was a deal breaker.
sounds like tebow, without all the skill & athleticism.

In a game of one on one Jordans vastly superior ballhandling skills "no homo" would be a major factor.
-
This post proves nothing.
If you can't tell the difference between a player that changed his game from being a slasher with higher time on the ball, to a post up player and how posting up requires you to move off the ball and establish a post position to receive the ball, thus not being the primary ball handler on setting up the offense, ala Scottie at point forward, and how this effects the amount of time you handle the ball, then you need to go read a basketball 101 book.

It would be close but Jordan could never be stop.
3 guys hanging on him, still score.
Jordan the most unstoppable force offensively with Kobe.
With kobe lol
Idiot
-
jordan got the refs to blow a whistle every time he went down the lane.
kobe USED to get those same calls, hence his early legendary unstoppable status.
Then, the league stopped this, and now we see Kobe being very stoppable.
Lebron gets hammered every time he goes down the lane. I don't see him playing til he's 35 like Kobe or MJ. He gets beaten up nightly. By 31 or 32, he'll lose a year to a major injury, or like Dwight Howard, his shoulders will just give out.
Lebron has no skills, he s all Body compared to mj
And Mj was the better athlete as well , jumping higher, bigger hands, faster, quicker
And most important he had this unmached specific Style in his Moves that gave him an elegante that made him so entertaining to watch
Basically he Looks better if he loses, than his cheap immitation Kobe Looks winning
And kobe is the closest thing to jordan because he tries so hard to immitate
In current Generation there is no top 50 player ever
Lebron may be the best today, but he s maybe Gerald Wilkins material

Lebron has no post game at all, it's either a 20ish foot pull-up jumper or a drive to the hole, Jordan literally had a great shot for every foot from 20 foot and in, that's why Lebrons game collapses when teams like Dallas cut off the lane in the playoffs, and why no matter how many men teams put on Jordan, or where they tried to stop him going, he still scored.None of this dribbling for 20 seconds at the top of the key, he usually got the ball, read the defense and within a few seconds he'd made his move.

Stick to men in thongs
Kobe had those 40 point streaks, 50 points in 4 straight games.
Jordan didn't go for 50 in four straight games.
Kobe had 81 point game, 62 in 3 quarters out scoring the Mavs.
He can score from anywhere and he had the record for 3s in a game.
Learn about basketball bro. I'm a Jordan fan too, originally from Chicago, saw him live.

watch that and see how bad those players are, it s like in bodybuilding, all drugs from age 15

In his day Jordan was considered one of the best defensive players in the game. I don't think the same is said for Lebron. Based on defense alone I think Jordan beats him easy one on one.

Lebron finished 2nd for defensive player of the year award last year. And the year before, he shut down MVP Rose in finals... a small quick guard, he wrecked him.

Offensively they're comparable.
Kobe ain't Mike, we all know that.
But on that side of the court, Kobe was a beast. Can't deny that, he had everything to in his bag of tricks to score.
61 @ MSG....dude put in work.
Shame he's getting overlooked now by Lebron.
Bron will end up with the better legacy....but he'll never be the scorer Kobe was.
Hell we might not see someone like that in our lifetime again

kobe has similar plays as jordan because they have exactly the same kind of body/somatotype. Makes perfect sense to reproduce what he excelled at when you have basically exactly the same kind of body/athleticism/explosivity.

Their explosiveness and athleticism isn't comparable, prime Jordan murdered him as an athlete, had a much quicker first step, visibly higher vertical off 1 feet and 2 feet,far quicker lateral speed, was visibly faster end to end, visibly quicker.Jordan is more a combo of prime Vince carter and Dwayne wade athleticism wise.

Wilt. No contest.

For me, Kobe and Lebron would be immediately disqualified. I would NEVER discount a prime Jordan. Ever.

Jordan is close to a scratch golfer. Lebron supposedly went out once with a group of guys and shot over a 130. The guy couldn't hit the ball. Sure golf is a skill but almost any real athlete would have the competitive advantage to want to play well...Even if he/she didn't have the ability. a 130 is what your regular 10 year old kid who never played before would shoot.

He's too tall to tackle up high, he'd get hit in the knees and that would be it

Was a comparison of Jordan vs Kobe.As for Jordan vs Lebron, Lebron beats him on 1 footed jumping, Jordan beats him on two, Jordan wins on lateral quickness, Jordan wins on Body control, end to end speed is close, Jordan is quicker, Jordan has a better first step, ability to take contact and finish is close too.Most impressive thing about Lebron as an athlete is the things he is able to do at his size, which leads to huge mismatches.

people give jordan a lot of love... but the tebow effect is being seen here.
Lebron has a superior body physically, and for his age, a superior body of work.
I know, "Jordan's a winner!" but Lebron is on a pace to clean his clock in every way. I admire jordan WAY more than Lebron, who is lazy and entitled. But LBJ has won more and achieved more at the same age. And with modern medicine and the crappy way Jordan took care of himself, I'd bet lebron will be way more productive in his later years too.

His speed and quickness has never been seen before at his size but don't confuse that with being quicker and faster than guys like Jordan and Iverson, who are quicker as they weigh much less.Difference with Lebron is with that speed and quickness is the weight and strength so he's like a freight train.
-

I'd probably take Big Shot Bob Horry or Derek Fisher, for ONE shot. Or maybe Duncan.
Out of lebron or MJ, I'd probably pick younger Kobe, he was a cold dude lol.
Lebron was a millionaire in high school. The minute the HS Bball season ended, he arrived in high school in a Humvee and 90 mil$ shoe deal. He was on ESPN his junior year. MJ was getting cut from the team in high school. MJ is way more clutch, way more intense. Lebron bit his nails and was scared of "pressure" from the so-scary basketball media lol. MJ was banging girls at Hooters and gambling and living like a rock star while Lebron was reading and meditating to alleviate the "pressure".
MJ is a fcking MAN> Lebron is a child. But I give the edge to lebron, he's just build better and more effective on the floor.

So what? is this a quickness contest ? Lebron is fast and huge. yes Jordan at two inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter was a little quicker. there are many ways to put the ball in the hole. how is one way "BETTER" than the other ? Tim Duncan can't jump 8 inches, one of the best players of all time.

Seems like a lot of playoffs only NBA watchers.
I watch the whole season as I did when Jordan played.The only way MJ could beat LJ would be if the game were officiated extremely tightly and Lebron's shot was off!
LJ is too big, strong AND has a good jumpshot. Folks forget how much losing Jordan did BEFORE Mr Pippen came on board.
Mike won a grand total of zero titles without #33. Greatest player of all time? Probably.
Unbeatable? History says otherwise.

Interesting factoid:
Jordan really only played 11 full seasons in the NBA. He missed almost all of his second year with a broken foot, had the baseball thing where he missed the lion's share of two years, and the seasons with the Wizards when he was pushing 40 don't count.
This season will be LeBron's 11th season in the NBA.
-
Comparing their "legacy", well, Lebron is only halfway done.
if you were able to have either player for 15 years, and you had to build a team around ONE, it's hard to choose against the bigger player, LBJ.
This isn't as easy as just comparing BBers (Ronnie beat Dorian in all categories, as well know). Comparing players at different positions in different eras when one is only halfway done is tough.

This isn't as easy as just comparing BBers (Ronnie beat Dorian in all categories, as well know). Comparing players at different positions in different eras when one is only halfway done is tough.
I agree 100%, wait till Lebron's career is over then you can compare for the next 50 years! You can throw Kobe in there too!

Lebron isnt going to play 22 years. Is you on crack?

I was in 7th or 8th grade watching Jordan murder my beloved Cavs every single night during the playoffs, although we did take it to 7 games when I was in 8th grade. My dad says it was fixed for drama and so they'd all get another game paycheck :)
I believe if Jordan was playing today, he woudln't get the calls he got then.
He would get winged or dinged of any kind of contact, and he'd be on the line. I'd love to see how many PPG he got from the stripe. Yes, he was awesome and amazing, and yes, lebron is an underachieving entitled idiot... but LeBron doesn't get those calls when he gets mugged. nobody does anymore. Call it the youtube result, the donaghey effect, whatever. They call shit more consistently now. Mega stars don't get all those calls like they used to.
Lebron is the man. I truly believe he could play in the NFL with a bit of work and do very well. incredibly well...how many guys have his height and explosiveness? hes a fucking freak of nature

lebron will be much more respected when his retired.because we get to watch the games in full on livestream, TV, etc you see him miss shots and lose the ball and lose the game winning shot. Jordan had the same issues, but MOST jordan videos are highlights of him being outstanding, lets not forget that dunk on Ewing after shaking off starks and Oakley then the game winners, the 3's against portland, the putback dunk after pippens missed free throw, they never show reggie miller hitting 3's in face.
when you watched a whole game of Jordan, he was a volume shooter, he missed heaps, his jumpshot is better then lebrons. the fact is lebron needs 6 rings to be truly jordanesque.
I dont know why people compare kobe with MJ, kobe bryant is overrated thanks to the team he plays for, his a superstar and could take on any superstar player and beat them, but he is a mistake waiting to happen.

And Lebron switched teams 3 years ago and has brought 2 different teams to the finals. Something Jordan never dreamed of doing
Something Jordan never did. Ring chasing. Leaving his team to join another superstar's team. Having 3 first option, starting allstar players in the prime of their careers on one team. I guess if you can't beat them, join them. lol. Jordan and Kobe had other guys come to their team to win. Reverse ring chasing.
I think Lebron is an awesome talent, I'm a Lebron fan. He's physically dominant like Shaq or Wilt. But Lebron isn't in Jordan or Kobe's league. The dude has had a tendency to go comatose in big games for his whole career. Last year they were dead in the water in game 6. Lebron had played like shit most of the finals and he looked like a deer in headlights. Ray Allen saved his ass with one miracle shot. That game was over, they had lost. One shot, that he had nothing to do with, saved his entire legacy. Now all of a sudden niqqas act like he's better than Jordan. Nonsense.

It means a lot if people are comparing lebron to Jordan, Jordan will always win the vote.
Jordan was way cooler, I know it was a different era, but lebron wearing glasses with no lenses and riding a bike to the game
Really, the difference is Jordan wasn't a happy go lucky guy, he punched teammates and abused them, lebron will never do that. Its not killer instinct, Jordan is just more fiery and about winning winning winning, lebron wants to win but Jordan seemed obsessed with it..

Put this discussion on hold, and wait till Lebron leads the Heat to a threepeat! Then continue again at the end of June!
