re: MJ versus Lebron - One on one...

There really isn't any logical reason why all of you think Jordan is so much better than Lebron

Rings? That's a team accomplishment

One on one, LJ matches up well with MJ. He is a better athlete (one of the things that made Jordan so great was that he had a huge athletic advantage against his contemporaries)

I think most of you are probably around my age or even a bit younger and just idolize MJ because he's the guy you saw on TV growing up. You saw all the championships with Chicago and you remember everything about the guy because so many bulls games were televised and he was in more commercials than Peyton Manning.

Combine all of that and you have the perfect recipe for you all remembering him to be much better than he actually was (and yes, he was very good, and probably the best all around player in the league)

But that doesn't mean he could beat the GOAT 1 on 1
