No, but you can't tell that to people who think basketball started in 2000.

He’s the standard for greatness when you talk about the NBA? When talking about any great player we always use Jordan as the measuring stick.


Didn't have many to any weaknesses as a player and, during the 1988-89 season, was a pretty good point guard too achieved 7 straight triple-double games. I can't hold his 3-pt stats against him too much because it wasn't as prominent in the game as it is now therefore less emphasized as relates to him HOWEVER he did drill those 6 3-pointers against Portland first half game 1 of the 92 Finals so dude was very capable of shooting them. Theres a lot of players in NBA history you could argue are the best, he certainly is one of them the ideal 2-way 2-guard and tremendous competitor who did whatever it took to help his team win.

Lebron has been the best player in the league for probably 12 straight years, maybe more. Jordan never was physically able to play 12 straight seasons. It’s Lebron, and the only reason there’s a debate is because we want to have one.
Correct.

And when Lebron gets too old to do what he's doing, he'll 3 years as a top 15ish player in the league and best 4 in the game.

You’re such a liar

TPMZ is way worse

And you’re just trying to suck up to Teauxl

MJ probably wasn’t more talented player but he was the most electrifying and attention capturing player ever


I am not sure LeBron is most talented player ever either though

Watch any NBA game of the last 15 years and you'll see no less than 10 defensive possessions FAR worse than that.

How do we even know?

Y'all think he was a god at defense yet all he had to do was pick up his man at half court and just be better than him.

A defender today is asked to do so much more than what MJ was that we can't even compare these guys on defense. "Hey man up this frail dude" was MJ's job most of the time. Lebron would have been better at that than him.

Lebron would have also been better at scoring than MJ was back then. He'd have been bigger or faster than every player in the league...while going against weak as frick defenses that couldn't scheme for him.

He could also pass MUCH better than MJ and could shoot better than MJ.

Lebron is better at basketball in ANY era than Michael Jordan.

I love how you are trying to argue LeBron would be doing same thing then as now. Because you know he wouldn’t. There’s these things called weights diets supplements etc

You are being disingenuous
