Exactly. Only thing LeBron has 'more' is All-Star MVPs and Olympic Medals. Jordan didn't play in many olympics

MVPs too, but MJ is GOAT and Lebron will not equal or surpass him, and Lebron is my favorite player ever.

Nothing compared to Kobe... but compared to Lebron... he couldnt play & guard essentially all positions as well, wasnt as great of a rebounder or a passer.... but then again MJ was a better scorer... they had kindof different games imo...

[MMM]

I appreciate this on the visuals alone
Crazy to think I got to watch all three at there best. As well as other greats as Malone, Stockton, GP, Hakeem, Barkley, Shaq, TD, KG, Dirk, etc.

Join the league when he was 18...

Jordan mythologists :facepalm

[Fire Colangelo]

Kobe got drafted to a good lakers team to play behind Eddie Jones where he had to earn his minutes.

Lebron got drafted to a shitty cavs team where he had the green light to do whatever he wanted.

Jordan went to college for 4 years, and got drafted to a shitty bulls team with the green light to do whatever.

Different situations for different players.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Not a fair comparison because Jordan was much more matures when he entered the league.
had LeBron played in college his PPG would be higher as would be his FG %
LeGOAT and GOATdan>Kobrick doe:roll: :roll: :roll:

lebron fans = "if you take away half of what kobe and jordan did. then lebron might be better"

The only time Jordan was really asked to run the offense(like Lebron) was 88-89...he put up 32/8/8...so to say he couldn't pass or rebound as well is a matter of opinion or should I say mindset of the players. I think Lebron could score more as well if he had more of a assassin type mentality.

yea it's not like lebron only played half of his career or anything while the other 2 are pretty much done

Jordan was stat padding and running to the scorers table for half the season that year checking his stats. His coach even called him out for it... :oldlol:

As if Lebron didn't wear a T-shirt that basically asked his fans to do it for him?

Reality is ALL bigname players "check their stats" especially in the early parts of their careers, because stats are ultimately what determines playing time, team contribution and leverage during contract negotiations. Even Kobe, during his famous 81 pt game was asked by his own coach and the fans if he wanted to run up his point total just to set a "record" for the modern era.

same as checking stats during games right?:roll: :roll:
deqal with it Jordan= notorious stat padder:applause:
if LeBron was any kind of stat padder he would have 100 triple doubles by now:roll: :roll:

I don't know how Marlo can type holding Lebron's dick with one hand and caressing his balls with the other.

I've always thought these comparisons are a little silly - the ones that include just these three players.

A Jordan/Kobe comparison is intelligent, since their games were so very similar. Such a juxtaposition serves to remind Kobetards how superior Jordan was in every way.

But including LeBron is awkward, because he's so different as a basketball player from the other two. LeBron is much more similar to Magic on the court - but we never see a "Jordan/Magic/LeBron" comparison. It's always Jordan/Kobe/LeBron.

This might as well include Shaq and Tim Duncan, if we're going to just line up players whose games are highly contrasting and act like we can take a thoughtful ranking from their statistics and accolades alone.

jordan>lebron>kobe. what else is new

[SamuraiSWISH]

This is amazing considering this includes:

- MJ's 15 game season in '86 on limited minutes.
- No 1994 while still being in his prime due to retirement.
- And his '95 season (correct age 32) of just 17 games, working off rust from baseball.

MJ is clearly the best of the three. His resume could've been more ridiculous than it already was ... just brew on that basketball fans. He could've put up even more accomplishments.

And that's saying something considering the other 2x guys are amazing themselves.

Someone should do Magic v.s. LeBron v.s. Bird 10 years deep.

I agree, those guys are perimeter players, but bigger guys who could also play in the front court as well. Unlike Jordan, and Kobe. Exclusive smaller guys, backcourt guards.

I personally fully believe LeBron > Magic.

LeBron gets thrown in with MJ, and Kobe because he's that post MJ era Nike superstar hype machine type of player. And he's a volume scorer, and unlike Magic but more like MJ / Kobe can actually play defense.

So the comparison isn't wildly off base.

I still agree, and I'm still waitin for that thread.
