You realize that LBJ has a massive weight advantage over Laimbeer and Rodman, right? They would not push him around. John Salley is a fricking scrub and idk why he's even mentioned in this convo. Mahorn is the only one that I think would truly have the stones and size to trifle with Lebron and possibly back it up. It would be hilarious seeing his gangly arse trying to keep up with him tho lol

Dude I seen Isiah Thomas' lil arse trade blows with Bill Cartwright. No one would have gave 2 shits what size Lebron was.

I don't think anyone claims Lebron is not one of the elite basketball players. He's done things Jordan has never done; but to compare him to MJ is absurd.

Come on, man.

You're going to put John fricking Sally in this thread as beating down Lebron in the paint?

Yes against one of the greatest defenses in the history of the game. You bet your arse I will.

John Salley was a 230 lb slawdog that would get destroyed by Lebron barreling into the paint. I know you're old and stuff but open your eyes bruh. It's never too late to learn new things.

And before you give me a basketball history lesson, you're probably not telling me anything I don't already know.

Oh so you throwing salley and Thomas in there was just for shits and giggles and had no relevance to the convo. Nice

I know right

John Salley is basically the old school equivalent of Festus Ezeli and people ITT are acting like he's some back street brawler

No. I thought I listed the starting lineup. I'm no Basketball analyst; and everyone contributing to this thread knows you aren't, as well; but I am certain you are in the minority on your beliefs here.

But MJ was a STUD from the day he walked on the court and didn't bolt to another team with a bunch of stars to get his 1st rings... Sorry but I hold that against him


1. Lebron was also a stud at a younger age.

2. Lebron stayed in Cleveland for 7 years and the highest draft pick they had was a 10th overall the season after his rookie year. The Bulls acquired Pippen in like Jordan's 4th year.

What beliefs?

That a 6'8", 250lb modern player would be roughed up in 80s and 90s? That's fricking crazy talk.

Jordan, all 195 pounds of him did ok. LeBron would be fine.

The idea of Lebron going up against Salley, Lambier, Mahorn, Rodman and even Isaiah was a dirty little frick; is laughable.


What's laughable about this?

You listed the starting lineup like it was a 5 man ufc squad against lebron but now it's just listed and Rodman gets him. Make up your mind.

I'm in the minority? The biggest supporter next to you is Pj. Let that sink in.

Yea I love how earlier in the thread people are hating on lebron for going after players and MJ didn't. Well no shite look at the Bulls rosters when they won championships. Let's not act like Jordan was playing with scrubs

I'm not even arguing he's not physical or tough enough. Does he play teams as physical as the 1980s Pistons? No.

I'm not even saying Lebron James isn't one of the GOAT at this point in his career.

But to say (I'm assuming which is your belief) that Lebron is better than MJ is absurd.

That is my argument.

3-4 in the NBA Finals; went more times than MJ did and is still behind him in rings.

You can throw out all of your physical, athletic ability, and I can bring up the fricking Pistons. It doesn't matter because to those athletes it's the hardware that makes them great.

Not some fricking middle aged white guy that can't put Lebron's dick down.

Explain to me how I listed them as a UFC squad (not even sure what that would be); but when I introduced them did they each have a "come out" song like the UFC or did they dim the lights and have a light show like at NBA games?

So 1 team out of the other 31 teams the Bulls had to play is the trump card.

Nice
