I don't get the love for Lebron. He has lost in the finals 3 times in a sport where one player can make the entire team. Jordan effectively won 6 titles in a row.

Jordan is possibly the biggest douche in the history of sports. He also one of the greatest athletes to ever live, but huge a-hole. If he played in today's world, he would have as bad an image as imaginable. TMZ would have a field day with his off the court habits. Tiger would have looked faithful compared to him.

I was told by an extremely prominent bookie who plays in Jordan's annual golf tournament every year not to ever let your girlfriend/fiance/wife around Michael Jordan because no matter who they are "he will f*ck her"

Obviously, you know nothing about basketball. Tell us how many NBA championships teams had just what good player. If what you say is true, surely at least half the championships were won by teams with one good player. Jordan had Pippen. Magic had several great teammates. Bird had McHale and Parrish. Hakeem had Clyde for the 2nd and Kenny for the 1st. Shaq had Kobe and Wade.

Now you name as many championship teams that had only one great player.

84-85 First Round Loss to the Milwaukee Bucks 3-1

85-86 Swept First Round By Boston Celtics

86-87 Swept First Round By Boston Celtics

87-88 Second Round Loss to Detroit Pistons 4-1

88-89 Second Round Loss to Detroit Pistons 4-2

89-90 Eastern Conference Finals Loss to Detroit Pistons 4-3

first breakthroughs came with the Pistons injured, Magic coming down with HIV, and Larry injuring his back, McHale breaking his foot.

If you take out those two years when he didn't win the NBA championship, I guess you're right.

The Yankees effectively won 27 straight World Series by your logic.

Also I'd add that he played half a season in the second of the Rocjets titles. he LOST to the Magic. Lost bad. Penny took it to him.

For the record I think he s GOAT. But let's not forget these things.

Are you not aware he left basketball for two years after threepeating then came back and threepeated again? The half a season when he was knocking off the rust doesn't count. Lebron can't hold MJ's jockstrap. All of you Lebron pampers are probably too young to have watched MJ live.

Michael Jordan played for the Bulls in 1995, and they lost in the second round of the playoffs. Most people think Jordan missed 94 and 95 and that he should be given an honorary NBA title for those years, even though it was his choice to quit the sport.

i watched mj live almost every single game that was on tv. My favorite player of all time in any sport. But facts remain, he not only quit on his team.. he quit on his fans and the sport of basketball for a couple years for his selfish ways. I still think jordan is the best, but to day lebron cant hold his jock is laughable. If they both played during their prime they each have things they could use on each other. Mj had a great mid range jumper and killer instinct, lebron would straight abuse him in the post and taking him to the hole. Get your nostalgia blinders off.

Believe it or not, Michael Jordan did not win every NBA title from 1984 to 2003.

He lost his dad. People do crazy things when this happens.

LeBron is a top 5 talent of all time. But its tough to compare the 2. Jordan had to deal with getting knocked around and beat on every time he touched the ball. LeBron couldnt handle that. If Jordan played in today's game he would break scoreboards.

My list goes

Jordan
Russell
Wilt
Magic
LeBron

LeBron gets hated on because he left CLE to go to Miami Florida


well that's certainly false. People for the most part (outside of cleveland) DGAS he went to miami, it was the absolute circus and hoopla around the "HEY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME, EVERYONE PLEASE LOOK AT ME" ceremony in which he left.
