Bill Laimbeer: "I'll take LeBron over Jordan everyday of the week"

[Hey Yo]

🎙️@Chris_Broussard: "What do you think about Jordan being considered the consensus GOAT?"

🎙️Bill Laimbeer: "I'll take 𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗡 every day of the week. He came into the league at 18 and understood TEAM BASKETBALL from Day 1. Jordan had to learn that."

LOL he was the chief instigator/thug of the Bad Boy Pistons. They loved to beat up on Jordan during the game and trash him in the press after the game.

[nineiron]

low skill players appreciate other low skilled players

[3ball]

Most people don't realize that ball-dominance is a form of selfishness and lebron/westbrook/harden are too ball-dominant to win like MJ or have teams like he had (or other off-ball players, i.e. curry, bird)

Laimbeer doesn't realize that Lebron's abnormal ball-dominance for his position yielded low assist teams his entire career - this is selfish - and being uncoachable to fit into a system is also selfish and hurt the ceiling of his teans

Most people also conflate MJ's high shot attempts with ball-dominance - MJ didn't dominate the ball despite his high volume, which is why guys like Woodridge and Oakley achieved their 2nd career highs alongside him

Laimbeer played against (and beat!) Jordan. He should know better than anyone in this thread. :cheers:

[Smoke117]

This, admittedly, doesn't mean anything. Laimbeer has always been a Jordan hater.

[ArbitraryWater]

:bowdown:


this from a guy who's team beat mj's 3 straight yrs, so he has no reason to be mad about mj or anything

isiah, salley, laimbeer: bron >mj

says it all

[G0ATbe]

The guys on the team that went up against jordan more than anyone say that lebrons better. Why is that?:confusedshrug:

Please, 3ball, stop calling unselfish pointguards/pointforwards doing THEIR JOBS for selfish....

Call Jordan the GOAT and all that, who cares but one thing you cant take away from Lebron (when comparing him to Jordan) is that he was indeed more unselfish, was more willing to help his teammates offensively, was more willing to pass, Lebron since he was a toddler played THAT way, he played PG his entire life, got drafted PG/SG, played PG, played/plays Point-Forward, has better vision, passing skills than Jordan, HE HAS...... thats not "ball dominance", thats a TRUE POINT GUARD DOING HIS JOB/ROLE... the only reason he didnt start PG all games and dishes 24-7 is because he has great scoring ability aswell, at SF he can let another PG start (help with ballhandling at times as Lebron breaksaway to finish/focus on scoring) or have a PG there that is simply working like a mini SG spotup shooter....

See Magic Johnson with Norm Nixon throughout 1980-84.... very selfish...

Stop dragging yourself down to that stupidity all in honor of riding Jordans jockstrap, yes he is the GOAT, but he wasnt the GOAT at every facet of the game.... many guys were better than him at some facets, heck, even i, i shoot a somewhat better FT% than Jordan. :P

[egokiller]

Imagine being the guy who tried his hardest every game to end MJ's career with hard fouls only to eventually have to sit on his couch and watch MJ go 6/6 with 6 FMVPs.

Talk about the ultimate bitch slap to the face, even if it wasn't as ultimate as Zeke having to watch MJ's success on top of not being allowed to play on the dream team. :roll:

Think about what you just said. :oldlol:

What sort of run-in, conflict or whatever does Laimbeer have with Jordan? A sweep in 1991, when 95% of the Pistons' core was playing with a rollator coming off two championships, after already beating Jordan three times in a row. You know who he has every right to angry with? Bird, who quite literally stole a title from him in 1987. Magic and Kareem, who took away another championship due to Isiah's ankle, the phantom call in game 6, and the no-call at the buzzer in game 7. The Bad Boys had a chance at a 4-peat. Jordan? He means nothing to them.

mj was the whipping boy for the bad-boy pistons.

I know what I said.

I also know that you're an attention-seeking idiot who will say anything.

The reality is, Chicago and Detroit were rivals. This is common knowledge via the media, player testimony and to people who watched their series'.

Laimbeer didn't like Jordan. Plain and Simple. And on more than one occasion, he wanted to throw hands.

Too bad Bill is on record in the video below at 4:50 essentially melting down over MJ. MJ meant everything to him and it's very clear based on his comments. Nice try, but another swing and a miss. Love the comments on youtube basically echoing the fact that we have a soft as shit league today. :applause:

LeBron lost to a team 3 years in a row? Are you bad a math or just slow?

Keep up lil guy
Lebron lost 10 of 13 playoff runs, so much more than MJ

Also, MJ getting past the Pistons is like lebron developing this Laker cast and ending the Warriors dynasty when Curry/Durant/Klay are still 29/28/27 years old, like Isiah/dumars/rodman when MJ beat them

And I say ending the Warriors because that's what MJ did - the Pistons were done after that, just like the Spurs "ended" Miami in 14'

Developing a weak cast and toppling a dynasty while 3-peating > team-hopping and going 3/9

seriously brah? You really think those pistons/bulls doesnt have hatred for each other. LOL And if youre smart, you would realize that nobody cares about beating 3 times in a row. Its who wins in the end and jordan won 6 so those pistons took the L in the end.

[Rico2016]

Usually when players play with other players in their same era they try to prop them up to make themselves look better. You see so many NBA players do that. They always prop up the players they played against and their own era so that it improves their image as well.

Bill Laimbeer doesn't play that game. It's nice to hear a different take, someone who is keeping it real with everybody and saying yeah we beat up Michael, he was nothing special. I know it's been mentioned before but it needs to be mentioned again, Michael Jordan has a losing record to Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, and Hakeem Olajuwon. Most likely the three best players he played against during his own era and Jordan had a losing records against all three of them.
