Hakeem's take on MJ vs LeBron debate - "Jordan was a far more superior player"

[kawhileonard2]

Full quote:

“When people start comparing him with Jordan, then that’s not a fair comparison. Jordan was a far more superior player in a very tough league, and he was very creative. That’s not taking away anything from LeBron because he is a great player, but it is not a fair comparison because Jordan is a far superior player.”

It’s not even a contest actually, Lebron hasn’t surpassed Kareem and Magic for sure and these three are still in for a tough battle.

[Drygon]

It's still relevant even 5 years later.

LeBron is an amazing player, but he's nowhere close to MJ.

This analysis speaks for itself comparing MJ & LeBron's body of work.

If LeBron was nowhere close to Jordan, MJ stans wouldn’t feel a need to keep reminding people of it.

Hakeem is right, but you don't need him to tell you that. He obviously sees what everyone else does. LeBron has limited skills that are hidden through teamhopping and playing with established stars. Look at AD. He literally outscored LeBron this playoff run and all around was more efficient. Yet somehow we're to believe that makes LeBron closer to GOAT? Get real :oldlol:

Irving and Love were already established stars. You're making my point :confusedshrug:

whats mikes best ring? :oldlol:

watch this boi run

[FireDavidKahn]

Of course he would say that. He lost to MJ and has never experienced the GOAT in LeBron

[Honor Boost]

1a Jordan
1b LeBron

But can we please stop posting quotes from years ago? All it will do is weaken your idea that players think "X" about "Y" when "X" has accomplished more since that quote. If anything it fan make LeBron stronger in his argument. If LeBron was drawing comparisons in 2015 with only 7 Finals and 2 FMVP then what are they thinking now after adding 3 more Finals, and 2 more FMVPs.

[FireDavidKahn]

Irving and Love were already established stars. You're making my point :confusedshrug:

STARS????

Love and Kyrie had been to the playoffs a combined 0 times.

0-9.

"Stars"

Was it that bad before LeBron arrived? That is pretty bad if we are being objective about it. Love never made the playoffs with Minnesota?

[Gohan]

It’s really not fair to Jordan because he had to go first. He didn’t have a chance to see lebron first. Which is why I give Jordan the nod

Dark times for MJ stains :lol

[tpols]

and he was very creative.

What Hakeem's saying is MJ could kill you in any way, where as Lebron relies on one method ~ bulldoze/offensive foul and then either layup or find open man. That wouldn't work in 90s cramped paints with legit rim protectors.

In OP's defense, the article is dated October 15, 2020. And it doesn't at all clarify that the quotes are from 5 years ago. Click-bait journalism.

Yeah stars. Something not exclusive to winning. Fun Fact: When LeBron made his FIRST all-star team, his team didn't make the playoffs :oldlol:

[kawhileonard2]

Hakeem is really insiteful.

4 posts on the first page about LeBron, two of them necro-posting. Is this 3ball's retarded cousin?

Lol 9 days after LeBron's chip Kawhit fan was having a meltdown.

[tpols]

Notice Hakeem has no reason to be biased. He never faced MJ in the playoffs unlike Gary Payton or Isaiah Thomas. Plus he's become totally egoless since he converted to Islam. So he's just spitting straight truth.
