Jordan was drafted into a very large market, who just so happened to draft great talent around him. Like Scottie pippen. And they made great trades to get guys like Rodman. Michael Jordan was essentially drafted into the heat of his time. LeBron on the other hand was drafted to an incompetent franchise in a small market who never put any major players next to LeBron nor did they make any effort to. What's the best they put by him? Mo Williams, aging Shaq, Anderson verajao. That team was going to expect LeBron to put the entire fate of the franchise on his back until he retired.


If you just want to shrug off my past statements as just opinions, here are some nice facts for you. Take Jordan off of his team for two years and the bulls made it to the second round two years in a row. Ranking 5th and 3rd in the conference in those two years. Take LeBron off of the cavs and they become the second worst team in the NBA.



Its pretty simple, LeBron is not dirty. He's not an a-hole for leaving Cleveland to get into the situations that players like Bird, Magic, and Jordan were lucky enough to be drafted into. He's not a flopper, as Jordan definitely did his fair share. He's an elite player. The second best of all time and by the time his career ends he will be the best. So you can hate and keep spewing ignorant statements all you want. It wont matter.
