I suppose that it isn't Lebron's fault that people make the comparison. He falls miserably short in that comparison, obviously. Miserably short. But I think the comparison is unfair not because they played in different eras, with different rules, one against rim defenders one not, or that they play different styles. I think the comparison is unfair because it isn't close and it diminishes how great a player Lebron is when we make his career about whether he is the best of all time or not. the guy is very likely one of the ten best basketball players to ever grace planet Earth and yet people (not necessarily those in this thread) want to consider him a failure because he isn't the best there ever was. I just don't think that is particularly fair to him.

I think the NBA talent is better now than ten years ago but not nearly as good as 10 or 20 years ago (with a decent margin). The 2000's were probably the weakest the league was in my lifetime.

Anyway, Lebron is a great player and we should just enjoy what he does on the court without holding him to a standard of the best ever because there can only be one of those and it isn't him. When you are one of the ten best in the history of planet Earth at what you do for a living, then maybe cast a stone at the guy. With that said, I have bashed him plenty myself, which makes me a hypocrite... but I think big picture we should just appreciate him.

One other stat that is interesting besides their records in finals series is there actual win percentages in finals games. lebron is 8 games UNDER .500 and an 8.5 pt underdog to make that 9 games UNDER .500.

The comparison is a joke. An unfair joke.

Fair point clowncar... and thats what I think as well... ive been hearing people saying Bron is better than MJ... and I smh



I have to kindly disagree guys.

He truy believes he is better than Michael & has made comments suggesting such...

Can't we all just agree the joke of the decade is the title of this thread?? I mean at least sound grammatically correct when calling something else a joke.

Naww...when? where? LeBron only makes comments that MJ was his idol and he tries to break his records.
You might have LeBron confused with Lavar Ball lol.

LeBron James says he’d beat Michael Jordan 1-on-1 in their primes

</header>Michael Jordan said “no question” he’d beat LeBron James 1-on-1 if both were in their primes.
LeBron has avoided directly addressing the debate.
Until now.
LeBron on the Today show:
"I take myself. For sure. I mean, I’m going to take myself versus anybody. I’ll tell you one thing: They’re going to have to have a few wheelchairs and a couple ambulance there to get us off the floor."


I’d give Jordan the edge. Though I think both players reached very similar levels in their primes, one of LeBron’s biggest advantages over Jordan – passing – is irrelevant in 1-on-1. Jordan is a superior individual scorer and better defender, though LeBron’s size would pose problems.

now THAT is funny!!!

what you think i joined the forum when i was 7 years old? :)

don't toss a 9 ppg career scorer on here and put him in as an all-time great. stupidity

just like I'm not going to pull out Mark Eaton's block stats and tell you he's a top 100 nba player. retarded


Looks like your opinion is the minority.... which is fine, some people follow basketball closer than others... but there is A LOT more than just scoring.
