Why? Because they have 4 championships? Yeah...from the LAST ERA. :roll:

Seriously? The greatest team that LeBron has ever beat in his championship run is the geriatric version of "just another team" that Kobe had to get through just to GET to the Finals in the 2000's, with Duncan, Manu, Parker in their young, athletic primes.

Jordan:

Malone/Stockton Jazz, 90's Knicks, Bad Boy Pistons, Payton/Kemp Sonics, Drexler Blazers, Barkley Suns are as good if not better than these Spurs. And with the exception of the Pistons, all the teams and their best player are from the same era as Jordan, not some old-men rivers hanging on for dear life from the previous decade of basketball.

Kobe:

2000s Spurs with prime Big 3, 2010 Celtics, 2000s Kings, 2000 Blazers, 2004 Pistons, Nash/Amare Suns are all as good if not better than these Spurs. And again, not old men led teams carrying over from the previous decade.

[Roundball_Rock]

The Spurs had the best record in the league this year, were second in the West in 2013 (and third overall), were tied for the best record in the league in 2012 with Chicago, were #2 by one game to Chicago in 2011. So to recap: 61, 62*, 58, 62 wins from 2011-2014--no worse than 3rd in the league in any year--and this is when they supposedly are washed up. Meanwhile, they have been the best team in the STACKED, STACKED, West during that period, winning the conference twice and reaching the WCF another time and being the top seed three of four years.

It will be hilarious to watch how LeBron haters downplay the Spurs after spending all year proclaiming how weak the East was and how strong the West was--yet the Western champs will now be called a weak, old team that had no chance. :lol

had Lebron not gotten injured in game 1, the Heat had a 2-0 lead in the series...Lebron has played exceptionally well in both games thus far and the Spurs didn't go off until Lebron went "off" the court, tbh

nevertheless...Lebron was GREAT last night, even though he missed some shots early on he didn't let that deter his game. :applause:

Jordan rejects the New Jersey Nets' Chris Gatling at the rim in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference playoffs first-round series in 1998. With Jordan scoring 32 or more points in each game, the Bulls made quick work of the Nets, eliminating them in three games.

...and any one who used to watch Jordan and is posting on an internet forum is likely around 30-40 years old and so MJ was the best of their generation when they were young and their love of basketball developed, which creates a big bias.

how convenient of you to write it off as just a sort of nostalgia. and these people werent just the 30-40 crowd. it was the at least 30-40 crowd. and not all of these people were jordan fans. in fact, alot of them actually hated jordan. but whether it was stans, haters, neutral, hardcore bball fans, casual, it didnt matter. we all agreed. jordan did it MUCH better and it was no contest.

and think about how retarded you're sounding. what you're basically insinuating is that a generation who has only seen this generation of bball, knows more about basketball than those of us who have seen many generations of basketball. what kind of logic is that?

[TheMan]

:no: A bunch of those who voted freely admitted they rooted for other teams and disliked Jordan growing up. (Pacers, Heat, Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Knicks fans). Both playoffs stats and Finals stats, MJ clearly has the superior numbers, what argument does LeBron win in your opinion? Eye test? :confusedshrug:

BTW, I created that thread, should've bookmarked it:mad:

[DJ Leon Smith]

...and any one who used to watch Jordan and is posting on an internet forum is likely around 30-40 years old and so MJ was the best of their generation when they were young and their love of basketball developed, which creates a big bias.

Actually no, I *WANT* someone to be better than Jordan. That's the standard I'm used to seeing in the best player in the league. Which is why I was annoyed that LeBron went to the Heat, because it gave him the safety net to not be truly great. You know those games where LeBron just slays, where Wade and Bosh aren't playing to their usual level and LeBron takes over? If he stayed in Cleveland we'd get those games every second night (plus a bunch of championships as well - I truly believe he's that good right now he could have led his last couple of Cavs squads, with some tweaking, to multiple titles). Now we get one amazing game per playoff series, a bunch of solid superstar games, plus a stinker or two. Give him more responsibility and maybe those stinkers don't exist, and then you're really looking at a challenger to Jordan.

(This isn't mean to just bash LeBron, I'm not a fan of Kobe for squandering chances to be right next to Jordan as well. He's the closest thing the league ever saw to MJ but his whole career has been stuck in Jordan's '87 season mode, where he's trying to get his but doesn't get the whole team concept. Again, truly great player, just not Jordan.)

Oh and threads like this lead to people being biased against LeBron/towards Jordan more than the era they grew up in, because LeBron's fans might be the biggest retards on the internet. Which is a truly amazing accomplishment.

Chris Gatling? Really? You're going to prop up Chris Gatling as your "all-star level" big man? Also on an attempt where he's too far under the basket to try and dunk it and was going to lay it up instead?

I'm sure if someone digs hard enough, they can find Tyrone Hill getting stuffed by a wing on a weak layup attempt too.

It's highly doubtful LeBron would ever win more than 1 or 2 titles in his prime with a team as modestly run (and a city as mundane) as Cleveland. Although I disagree that titles should not be the main criterion when evaluating someone's all-time value, it's a sad known fact that most fans look at rings first, combined with performances. LeBron knew very well that in Cleveland, no matter the dominant games, his probable lack of rings in his prime would always hurt his case, while in Miami he'd eventually get a good part from both worlds, because it's evident that neither a growing and often injured Wade nor "#1 in Toronto" Bosh would be able to challenge his dominance in the long run.

BTW, LeBron's playoff numbers as a Heat aren't as inferior as most believe (if inferior at all):

Cleveland LeBron: 29.3/8.4/7.3/45.9% FG (PER: 27.1)
Miami LeBron: 26.9/8.5/5.8/50.2% FG (PER: 28.2)
