If Jordan was better than LeBron...

Do you get credit nowadays for losing?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

How come LeBron has made it to 3 more Finals than MJ?

It's not because his team was better.

If your stance is that Lebron is better than Jordan, than you can argue that the Heat teams he was on were better than the Bulls.

This Cavs team isn't very good outside of Lebron, no doubt about it, but it's not like he's always been on shite-bag teams. Also, do we throw out the idea that the Eastern Conf. was alot more competitive during Jordan's run than it currently is? I mean... '18 Raptors aren't sniffing a 1 seed in 1992.

Lebron wouldn't have gone through the knicks, pacers, and magic like he is doing right now to these east teams who are not in the same level. Charles Oakley would have made lebron his bitch.

So I guess LeBron is the Pats.

They have gone to 10 Super Bowls but only have 5 Championships.

Steelers went to 8 Super Bowls and have 6 Championships.

Jordan went to 6 Finals and has 6 Championships.

So LeBron is more Brady and Jordan is more Alpha Jack Lambert.

What was the criticism of Jordan pre 1991?

He isn’t as good as Magic and Bird because he didn’t make his teammates better. He didn’t help them grow, didn’t show them how to win. While he was killing the league in stats and awards and was undoubtedly the most physically gifted player he didn’t help his team improve.

Kinda reminiscent of Lebron. Yeah he has great stats and got his team to the finals again (testament to his greatness but also the weakness of the East). But has he led any players to improve greatly? No he hasnt, as he hasnt stayed in one place long enough with the same players around him.

At times I compare him to Wilt - supremely gifted physically and a one of a kind player that we won’t see the likes of again. But did Wilt win when he should have all the time and make players better? No and that is why he isn’t recognized as the GOAT. If Wilt had the same career with todays media he would be crowned GOAT as his stats are just ridiculous as Lebron’s are.

Just a thought

Because Jordan went to college and took 2 years off mid career. It’s really not that hard to understand.

How many first team ALL NBA DEFENSIVE teams has Lebron been on? That is the main difference. The only thing Lebron can do better than MJ is pass the ball and get assists. He can't shoot better from the field or the line than MJ and that is a fact. MJ is the GOAT with Chamberlin as his wing man.
