re: Lebron is the best

I wish I was old enough to see Jordan play in his prime. Just watching his 50th birthday stuff on espn puts me in awe of how good he was.

I watched the second three-peat as a kid (12-15yr old) learning to love B-Ball. Our cable company carried WGN from Chicago for some reason so I watched most of the games from those 3 seasons. He wasn't in his prime but he was still the greatest. It'll be real tough to convince me the LeBron is better than MJ.

Fun fact: Lebron is roughly the same size as Karl Malone but still one of the fastest guys in the league. With physical tools like that and the obvious dedication he has to improving he could go down as the best ever.

It was awesome. Just when you thought it was great with Magic and Bird along comes Jordan. The teams back then were better than what we have today in my opinion. Call it a watered down league or maybe just more tv exposure that makes it seem that way, don't know. I do know that the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Pistons, Rockets were some great teams that players had to go up against.

Lebron is very good, borderline great and probably will be considered that, but after watching those 80s/90s teams he's no MJ. Maybe with time but the discussion of him being better than Mike now is ridiculous.
