Lebron stares down Michael Jordan during fast break dunk

[manuelsonn]

Lebron has no desire to lead the NBA in scoring, he can if he wanted to.
Kevin Durant is going to be ringless no matter how many scoring titles he has.

the pint u dont get its that jordan was the all time scoring leader 10 times, and still has three times more rings than lebron.. . 6 rings vs 2; 10 time scoring leader vs 1 time.. u understand why lebron its a litle micorbian creature next to mj?

[Ronnie Rep]

Thanks for that. Dr.J is solely responsible for reviving the NBA when it was dying in the early to mid 70's. Got to see him play and met and talked to him several times. Class and cool personified.

[Ronnie Rep]

Thanks mate,
I have been off getbig for a while due to other commitments, but this is the perfect time to come back.
we should set up 2014 NBA playoff thread.

There is still the one I started last year in the Sports thread, but we can get one going here.

Anyone arguing that this is a cut-and-dry "one of them is clearly much better than the other" case is foolish and ignorant.

They are very different players style-wise which is part of what makes it such an interesting and debatable question.

I get your point and respect it, but please understand lebron has about 6-8 seasons left to win each and every time, theres barely any competition to match him, the only player that can physically match lebron is Dwight howard and his a full on loser and about to go fishing soon.

The reality is there is hardcore M.Jordan's fans that will never admit then anyone is or could be better.
Like Hardcore Michael Jackson fans thinking he was the king of pop, after BAD he went to shit..no more world or national tours, he just stayed home and became a junkie, a drug addict. But his fans are quick to deny it.
M.Jackson was amazing when he wanted to be, then the drugs kicked in.

Not really, Jordan would never have lost an NBA finals with the squad Lebron had, you realise Jordan never lost a playoff series when his team had an equal or better regular season record as his opponent?Lebron lost against a far worse Dallas team.Jordan would never have been held to 18ppg in an NBA finals, and shut down by a 6'4 40yr Jason Kidd.

Agreed, we shouldn't even be having this discussion until Lebron is ready to retire.

lebron froze in that finals, he got better ever since.

Not really, only a complete meltdown by San Antonio in the last 30 seconds of Game 6 costing them the finals, and a prayer by Allen saved them last year, had shit to do with Lebron.I don't recall Jordan ever needing a game 7 in the NBA finals.

Excuses and revisionist history.

How is it revisionist, jordan never left a finals to fate and a game 7, he sealed them in 6.fact is, the only time Jordan lost in the playoffs was when his team had a worst record than his opponents.How many times has Lebron lost to a team with a worse record than his?I cant be be bothered to look it up but it was once with Miami and at least 3 times with Cleveland, as an all time great, thats the very definition of choking.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Jordan is killa in every aspect of his life. Lebron is a guy who's been babied in every aspect of his life.

[kevcat]

I barely follow basketball but considering I live in the UK, everyone knows who Jordan is, and barely anyone knows James. That's just how it is, and that was before the internet that Jordan became a worldwide star. There will never be another like that IMO.

[Ronnie Rep]

Like I said before in this thread, lets revisit this 5 years or so down the road when Lebron decides to hang it up.

[RagingBull]

Great point!

Just look at this "new age" chump.

The man gives you facts and you call it "revisionist history".

What the hell is wrong with you, retard?

[Quickerblade]

lebron swept Jordan's team out of the playoffs. Jordan will never see another ring again.

[Ronnie Rep]

Lebron  and D. Wade paid there respect to Michael after they swept his Bobcats.

complete change of topic!!!

[Earl1972]

You are either being willfully ignorant or are just straight-up dumb.

based on what?  lebron averaged 20 points a game as an 18 year old kid while playing with jobbers, yet some of you act like jordan is superior because he had a title earlier in his career

It's weird how you barely post anymore but as soon as you say something, someone gets on your case. You're a lightning rod of controvsery, Earl.

[catracho]

Who was the best player Lebron played with in Cleveland?  The second best? Freakin  Mo william? He took that garbage squad to the finals.  MJ didn't win anything till Pippen got There.  After he retired the first time, that team still won over 50 games!  The Cavs have been in the lottery ever since.

And then there's this...
