Jim Boeheim: LeBron James could challenge Michael Jordan for 'best ever' title

[lakers_forever]

Look. Lebron is easily the best player in the world right now. But Jordan was simply a better player than him. And yes also a better defender.

Why do people insist with this lie that Lebron can play and defend all positions?
He does not have the post game to play as Center. And he clearly can't defend Centers (or PF's who play like centers). Guys like Ibaka and Gasol can and did get antyhing they wanted with Lebron guarding them.

And if there has been a guy who could defend well all positions, his name was Dennis Rodman.

Not sure if serious

I feel like people stopped searching for hard evidence stats after a while.

A year after averaging 12 points in the Finals he's better than MJ.

This is partly what im saying, As good as Lebron is, the eye test shows me Jordan was clearly on another level then Lebron. ESPECIALLY in the playoffs when stakes are the highest. And that doesn't even start delving into the rule changes which help inflate players numbers in today's era

[RaininTwos]

@ Jordan being on another level.
