i agree LeBron is more talented but Jordan's intangibles and clutch ability put him higher than James. however, I would absolutely take Bird over any of them.

Let's not forget the incredible talents of "Dr. J" Julius Irving or Kyrie Erving.

What intangibles are you talking about?

Also, LeBron is clutch. At this point, one would have to be an inferior person to think otherwise.

Yes, then Kareem.

After those two you can discuss the likes of Kobe, LeBron, Russel, Chamberlain.

I don’t know how someone could watch games when Jordan played and come away thinking he’s the best after watching LeBron.

Jordan’s era was absolutely PERFECT for what LeBron brought to the table. I am convinced LeBron would have been better in Jordan’s era than Jordan was.

And also convinced that LeBron would be the #1 overall pick in an all-time NBA draft, in any era. Not knowing the era you’re drafting for, I think LeBron would be taken first as well.


So then do the opposite. What would joran do in today's soft arse defense NBA. Jordan would average 50 points a game. And what could LeBron do against the bad boys of Detroit? He would cry to the officials about fouls.
