re: At what point will you say Lebron is better than Jordan was?

quote:Yet, during Jordan's Chicago career teams shot 2.27 more free throws per FGA attempt, we're called for more fouls per possession, and awarded more free throws per possession.
With the flagrant foul rules in today's game, Jordan could get to the rim anytime he wanted without any fear of injury.
So a "rougher" game resulted in more free throws and fouls, as it should.

No way.
Celtics: Bird, McHale, Parish
Lakers: Magic, Kareem, Worthy
Sixers: Dr J, Moses, Cheeks
Lakers: Shaq, Kobe, Glen Rice
Spurs: Duncan, Parker, Ginobli, Robinson
Horace was a fine player, but let's not make him more than he was. Also, to give Jordan credit, this was in an era in which big men dominated, and the thought you could win without a top tier center was alien. He really did usher in change in how the game was played.
I like LeBron better, but Jordan has a pretty damn solid case for GOAT.

It does when you are deciding if someone is the GOAT

I think Lebron's legacy will change once he retires and people look back and reflect on his entire career and what he accomplished and all the records he set.
Also, is Lebron keeps this shite up, he'll eventually play for long enough that it'd be really hard to rationally say you'd draft MJ over Lebron given the chance.

To me Buckeye06 all that jargon is just semantics.
As a pure basketball player, who is better?
The only thing keeping me from saying Lebron isn't the best ever is his sorry outside shooting and free-throw percentage. He has limits and teams have taken advantage (notoriety of San Antonio series a few times and Mavericks). Jordan had no limits offensively. He was an offensive wizard. His athleticism and fundamentals off the charts and one of the best post-up players of all-time.
If Lebron had better outside percentage and free-throw he would be best ever.

After he wins 6 rings and dominates a league for 10 plus years. Not even close yet. Will get worse after GS beats that arse in June.

If prime MJ and prime LBJ played concurrently in either era, LBJ would be the player you're more concerned about.

Buckeye06 disowned Lebron 10 years ago after he wore a Ny yankees hat to an indians game

As annoying as LeBron fan boys are
Are us nut huggers really that annoying for simply trying to explain to the Neanderthal James haters that he's been great for years and years?

oh ya, all the cav fanboys used to rip into lebron daily on here.
it was quite amusing how much backlash he received because of a hat; im sure i could find the posts of Buckeye06 being livid - just lol

Cleveland was close to that, with 64 wins in 2012-2013......if you include the win totals from the previous 2 seasons as well.

What are you laughing about? It's in the stats, look it up yourself. Lebron's FG% and 3pt% is higher than MJ's
