A guy @6'9 278 pounds shouldnt be moving like this

[Camel Jockey]

LeBron maybe be skilled but he can't come to the sheer will power and ingenuity of guys like MJ and Bird. I remember watching a Wizards game where a 41 year old MJ scored 51 points. That's insane.

[brudge]

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.

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.

Well said. Look at basketball games from the 40's and 50's. I know that's a lot longer ago, but that shows drastically how the game has evolved. Put most guys from today in a game from the 80's and they would dominate.  The same goes for every sport. Man evolves, and so does equipment when it comes to other sports.

And for those that are trying to compare long jump to basketball...give your head a shake...apples and oranges. No one gives a fuck if they could win a long jump competition in the olympics. They are holding onto a ball with people trying to stop them, and carrying the ball through the air and putting it through a hoop, how can you compare that to long jump?

the best dunker ever is this guy named James White, a college star that didnt quite make it in the nba.

he can dunk from the free throw line, TWO-HANDED. not only that but he can do a BETWEEN THE LEGS dunk from the fuckin free throw line. he tops everybody

[Necrosis]

thats because of that guy named TIM DUNCAN

right because duncan team was better, garnett is the better player.

jordan's game evolved as his career went on...he became a post up shotter and his 3 point became better..... Lebron James though is a freek of nature...

[Rearden Metal]

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.

Or maybe....he's still a kid growing up.

[onlyme]

Here is some real Free Throw line dunks.

Not in game. But better.

It is easier to do that without dribbling

I'm not particularly a fan of "king" james as i believe often he's guilty of gross travelling that just seems to go unnoticed by nba officials but i have to say that i believe he will be able to put up similar scoring numbers to MJ. Hes just reeled off 3 games of 41 pts in a row and often explodes for 50 plus points.

Saying that jordan had 9 games in a row at 40 + points one season (87 or 88) i think and was dropping 60+ like it was no ones business but thats when the bulls were literally a one man show.

Offensively mj is unmatched in terms of jump shots, dunks, and a repetoire of great post up moves. His all round offense is non pareil - kobe is closest to anything that resembles MJ. Lebron is too much slash and dunk offense but may develop his jumper later on as did MJ and Kobe.

What goes unnoticed about Lebron that often gets overshadowed by the points he throws up is his all round game - he's averaging 8 rebounds and 6.5 assists so far this season which is oscar robertson esque.

As for that dunk in particular, clyde drexler did a similar one in his rookie year against the lakers. Clyde seems to hang more and be higher as he bends his legs back.

[Bear]

he's jumping what,, 5 meters?

consider world record is over 9 meters it's not that impressive

Haha, did Powell jump about 4 meters in the air too? Have you ever seen how high a basketball hoop is? I'm 6'3" and I can only just touch the thing jumping from directly under it!

[ManBearPig...]

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.

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.

Yeah i noticed that bullshit in the post too.

Iverson done more with 6'1" than anyone else in the league ever.

Wasted potential?

If any thing he's pushed his potential to the limit, the problem is he's been surrounded by a distinct lack of talent his career but still managed to get to the finals.

As for comparing jordans travelling with lebron - mj never took 4 steps in some plays like lebron

Oh and by the way, MJ played in an era where defence actually existed, unlike todays game where if you so much sneeze at the guy you pick up a foul.

[Wiggs]

Lebron is 6'8 240.  Not 6'9 278.

[El_Pajero]

wow he can jump far, so what, big fucking deal 

[The GodFather]

Athlete all the way Athlete.

[mame09]

i remember watching mj as a kid. he use to play for his life in every match.

lebron james i dont know much about him because im not really into basketball anymore it got boring. but i highly doubt he will be classed with muhammed ali and jordan as the best athletes ever
