Taj Gibson on LeBron James after Game 3

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]I don't think any players of his era would be calling MJ "a bitch" multiple times to his face, or the opposing team's rookies in a playoff series being so confident to say there is no one on the other side of the ball that frightens them.

The repercussions they would surely face would never allow them to say that and unlike James, Mike's contemporaries respected him. He wasn't a coward, trying to stack the deck.

As Kobe described, the league was so shook by Jordan's dominance, skill, athleticism, game, trash talk, look and temperment ... that his teammates, presumably Eddie Jones was urging young Kobe

[B]TO NOT EVEN LOOK HIM IN THE EYE[/B]

Meanwhile guys routinely clown LeBron for his uncompetitive, BETA status. No knock on his abilities, he's top ten. But given his cowardly nature, and lack of swagger, cool factor and certainly not his intimidation game ... contemporaries just aren't frightened by him.

Being the MJ of your era isn't exclusively related to on court dominance. It was his swagger, style, innate gravitas for the moment, and the level of fear he instilled in opponents.

And even then, LeBron while mighty impressive, doesn't even have the on court individual dominance, or success through leadership in winning that Jordan experienced.

Even if ranked as underdogs in the '93 ECF, and '93 Finals ... Jordan just absolutely never failed to deliver. LeBron overall has met hype, but has failed to meet expectations a number of times. MJ always over delivered.[/QUOTE]
is this Jordan stans' wet dream?:biggums:

dude was constantly getting punked

there is a reason he was considered a softie for a good half of his career

:biggums: Go watch football, you are clearly clueless 'bout hoops :oldlol:

Lebron is the Drake of this era.

MJ is the f*ckin boogeyman

MJ's on some urban legend type shit that's real.

Coaches warning players not to talk to Mike, even when he was RETIRED!!

Vets warning rooks to not look him into his eyes, like he's gonna take their souls or some shit.

MJ would walk into the opposing team's locker room and talk shit.

MJ left one of the 80s dynasty so shook and broken, they didn't even shake hands after the game.


Meanwhile Drake is posting pics of himself looking in the mirror, sensitive ass Drake muf#cka.

[QUOTE=Rose'sACL]They want a the best player on the cavs to punch someone and get ejected. That would make him alpha in their eyes.

I was surprised lebron said something to Noah. He normally keeps on playing no matter if it was pierce, kg or stevenson trash talking. Noah must have crossed some line.[/QUOTE]
yup. the hypocrisy levels with jordan fans know NO levels.

lebron is dammed if you do, dammed if you dont. :oldlol:

We aint making shit up...

[QUOTE]I saw Michael Jordan come into our locker room with a cigar, while it was lit, and said,

[QUOTE=TheMan]Vernon Maxwell was nothing to MJ, he never bested him in anything. How is that verbally clowning him? :facepalm[/QUOTE]
Answer this mehyaM24, you gon' just ignore this? :lol

[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]I think people are missing Taj's point.

That LeBron is probably the best player/been this "generations" best talent. That's it. Why are people turning into a comparison ? If it's Michael Jordan of this era, I'm pretty Taj understands Jordan is better. If he thought even more of LeBron, he would have called him the GOAT, which he didn't.[/QUOTE]
Praising LeBron isn't allowed on ISH.

[QUOTE=TheMan]Answer this mehyaM24, you gon' just ignore this? :lol[/QUOTE]
ignore what? kenny smith himself said vernon maxwell would talk shit to jordan in his face. :confusedshrug:

don't forget about the cartwright and parish altercations either. you're talking about "ignoring posts" yet you skipped over this very swiftly. :oldlol:

Ron Artest "he's as strong as Lebron, can shoot the mid like Reggie, and he's tough, HE'S A KILLER on the court"

There's many many many more.

Meanwhile, players made rap songs about Drake's soft ass.[/QUOTE]

Don't bother, the kiddies think that being an emo pouty mirror selfie taking herb is the norm ala Young Garnier Fructis. They just don't know.

Even coaches can get it.

:bowdown:

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]I wasn't bashing LeBron. Just telling the truth. I freely admit he's top ten, and most likely the best player overall since Mike.

Yes, better than Kobe, Duncan, and Shaq.

Jordan, and lesser extent Kobe played with chips on their shoulder with something to prove. Guys like Shaq, or Wilt, or LeBron ... so inherently gifted that things came easy to them so they had nothing to prove.

That is the difference ultimately between the fear of failure, and the thirst to win. The latter for people who don't get shook by the moment.[/QUOTE]


so things didn't come easy for Jordan and Kobe? That doesn't really make sense. no one on this site could ever hope to be as good as them and you imply things didn't come easy for them. Jordan and Kobe had inherent talent that no one on this site has.

You Jordan stans are something. No one on the Knicks backed down to MJ, Starks looked him in the eye and no fear, Oak and Mase, even X-man looked him in the eye and didn't get scared. I think even Reggie Miller got into a fight with him back in the day. That whole everyone being afraid to look him in the eye is all myth. It just didn't help the Knicks beat him that's all. But let's not act like MJ didn't get help from Scottie after stinking up the joint in game 3 down 0-2 to the Knicks either.

That being said, Lebron is a btch and nowhere close to the MJ of this generation. The competitive desire ain't there. Is the talent? Sure. Is the dominating the East? Sure. But the heart and desire to do nothing but win is nowhere near. There IS NO MJ of this generation.

Drake the type of dude that'll apologize if you step on his shoe.

Even his mother in law say he too nice.

Drake's father in law would rather have his daughter marry a McDonald's manager because at least he'd have a spine.


Drake the type of dude that'll go the the strip club to talk to the hos.

Drake man.... f*ckin Drake.

Meanwhile, Bumpy Knuckles drops 50 at will, just to spite the opposing coach.

Bumpy Knuckles breaks 3pt records at the half of a Finals game when people dare say another player is his equal.

Bumpy Knuckles has his jersey retired by Don Corleone himself.

Kenny said Vernon would say something to the likes of "If you score again, I'm gonna get mad". Jordan would score and Vernon would get up in Jordan's face. Vernon literally got mad at Jordan for taking a dump on him :oldlol: That's not the case with Bron.
