Lebrons career compared to Jordan in same amount of time (8 seasons)

[-p.tiddy-]

Except that Lebron is two years younger than Jordan at the same point. On Jordans 27th birthday(how old LeBron is now) he had zero rings. [COLOR="Red"]LeBron is quite capable of dominating the league for the next few years the same way Jordan was.[/COLOR] Don't count him out yet, but the haters can keep hoping.

no he isn't...unless his mental makeup changes completly

he just doesn't have the same drive as Jordan

Before 99, there was only one player of the month award instead of east and west

I guess that explains it

Bowen and Marion are not the 2 way players or all-time greats that Magic and Drexler were...

I mean those guys were runner up MVP's... Bowen is a great defender and? I'm not trying to say he was a chump, but compared to Magic and Drexler?

It's not just about defense here. It's not a diss, but Jordan went up against far better rivals in his first 2 Finals and completely dominated on both ends of the floor and LeBron did not.

oh for sure. I thought you were just talking about defense.

Why are you so obsessed with comparing everyone to MJ? It's as if we have to make some sort of conclusions from this comparison. Yeah, LeBron's had 8 great years, now let him finish his career.

When you'll learn that basketball isn't in stats only?

James will never get worthy enough to be considered a great match up for MJ unless he wins the titles in the eyes of the people who hate and dislike him.

And let James finish his career before you compare him to a guy like Jordan.

I liked the part where you excluded 2 FMVPs.

[TheAesirsFinest]

pauk, I sometimes think you hate LeBron and WANT people to hate him too by posting stuff like this.

[WeGetRing2012]

Why do people continue to bring this stuff up? We all see Lebron play and we can clearly see he doesn't have the intangible things that make you great. No will to win and he is small in the big moments. Nothing he does is Jordan-like to me and probably never will be.....

yes, we conclude that Lebron will never ever be as good as Jordan

All I learned from this thread is...

Jordan >>> Lebron

[Glide2keva]

It's pathetic the 6'5 dude has more blocks than the 6'8 guy who is so extremely athletic, when you think about it though.

It is, actually.

[(e)]

Lebron James is not Michael Jordan.

Those 2 rings are pretty significant. You do understand that right?

qft

[L8kersfan222]

but excluding Jordans 2 rings & 2 fmvp, Lebrons & Jordans careers are overall identical!!

You also forgot the 2 dunking championship Jordan won. Something LBJ is too afraid to compete in.

You also forgot the college education MJ received from NC, something LBJ skipped.

You also forgot all of the clutch shots and gamer winners MJ hit, something LBJ doesn't even come close to (only Kobe does).

You also forgot what MJ said himself: "Kobe is the only one who has done the work to be worth of comparison to me."

You also forgot the endless chokes LBJ has had compared to Jordan.

You also forgot to note that MJ won 2 FMVP as the undisputed best player on his team.
