    Default Lebron Will Never Get Close to Jordan

    Air Jordan scored at will versus any defense. If Jordan was in the league today, in his prime, he would easily be the best player by a mile, especially with the hand check rules, etc.

    Not to mention, this league lacks quality big men. There would be absolutely nothing that could stop Jordan, in today's league. Hell, he probably would win 10 championships.

    Take this for example...

    Lebron James took a team of scrubs to the finals, while in Cleveland. Michael Jordan would of won 4-5 championships, with that team easily.

    This is obviously a bait thread but I'll bite.

    NOBODY who has ever lost an NBA finals series will ever surpass Jordan.

    Mj was 6/6 in the finals, with 6 FMVP'S. NOBODY is touching that.

    Jordan had Pippen.

    Lebron had Wade and Bosh. Of course he's on a different level. He doesn't have the determination and guts to do it like MJ. He prefered help, instead of improving himself. MJ would have worked through it and kept motivating himself, not pick up his phone and ask the next best player for help.

    What if Lebron gets 6 rings + 2 finals trip? Thats 2 final apperances more than Jordan..

    Anyway, whatever, Lebron won't be better than Jordan. But that won't mean that he can't have have a legendary career on his own terms anyway.

    As long as he plays with 2 other stars, he will never even touch any level of comparison to Jordan. Or Kobe, Shaq, Dirk, Wade.

    Exactly.

    Jordan was just on another planet compared to anyone, in the history of the NBA.

    Lebron James, pretty much, has already sealed his fate to never be on Jordan's level. Jordan never lost big games. He played better in big games.

    Jordan had that killer instinct that guys, like Kobe, can only imitate, but they can never duplicate.

    Jordan changed basketball forever. He was the NBA. His legacy can never be touched and sure as hell can never be surpassed.

    Hold on, Jordan played with Pippen and Rodman, Kobe played with Bynum and Gasol while Lebron is already ahead of Dirk and Wade with him carrying Wade to a ring and all. Bird played with McHale and Parrish.

    Are you kidding me right now? See how epicly Lebron played in these playoffs before speaking out of your ass. Miami would be nowhere without Lebron. Stop looking at the paper, use your eyes instead.

    I grew up in that ERA. To say Jordan never had a bad game (or "never lost big games") is ignorant. Educate yourself.

    Rodman rebounds, could he be depended upon to score?
    Bynum was a scrub in the year Laker won. Look up the stats. He avged 7 ppg. Yeah, great help.

    Lebron played well, but it was Wade who stepped up in crucial moments, as well as Bosh, to give Heat the win. Without these two top stars, Lebron would be doing his usual thing. Get great stats every year, have 1 or 2 games of great performance, and then lose in the finals. He is the weakest champion out of all. But then we already knew that when he called for help.

    What I meant by that is with Mj, nobody really has a solid argument against him. Lebron will have an amazing career when its all said and done, but people will always bring up 07 & 11.

    Same with Kobe, for all of his moments, the 04 & 08 Finals will always be used against him.
