And this is whats sad.
Some people have the minds so made up that no matter what LJ does they will never give him the credit.
I consider physically gifted and athletic to be the same thing.
Being physically gifted is what makes you athletic.
You can't really become athletic.
You either are or you're not.
Jerry Rice must wanna literally punch someone everytime he hears "People forget how good MJ was"
Nobody forgets how good he was, he is the most revered american athlete of all time by a wide margin. He is the best NBA player from the 80s and 90s. Jerry Rice is the best NFL player from that time period and his networth/fame is like 1/100th of MJs.

Scotty Pipen thinks LJ is better.
Let's let him win this title first, before we even waste our time with this argument. He has been to finals 4 times and it took Jesus Shuttlesworth on a miracle 3 to give a 2nd one. Chop, I don't know how old you are, but I don't think you watched MJ in his prime '88-'93. Dude was unreal, he was great in 96-98, but the MJ of the late 80's was stone cold killer.
So am I insane in thinking that LJ and MJ are hard to separate?
If I was an NBA GM and a 19 year old MJ was on the board and a 19 year old LJ was on the board I would take LJ.
Should I be fired if I made that selection?
Started watching him around 1987
Lets pretend that we would all know beforehand what both players would do.
Time machine style.
If I draft a 19year old LJ over a 19 year old MJ should I be fired?
You also have to take into consideration all the off court stuff.
I think Lebron as a human being is very underrated and MJ as a human being is very overrated.
I genuinely believe LJ is a great guy off the court and I believe MJ is scum off the court.
Im amazed at the perception that people have of LJ vs MJ.
I think Lebron is one of THE most misunderstood athletes of all time.
No it would not be team dependent.
Just from the talent standpoint.
I am the GM of an expansion team in year 1 with no players on the roster.
The first personel move I make is choosing between a 19y old LJ over a 19y old MJ.
Pipen don't come with MJ
DWADE don't come with LJ.
it's no longer Jesus Shuttlesworth my friend, he's now known as Judas Shuttlesworth
Unfortunately, this part is true. MJ is a prick. A friend of mine works for Jimmy Sexton (pippen's agent), my buddy was Scott's main point person for Jimmy. He said they were out one night and some chick wanted to order MJ a drink, this ass hole orders the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu $1100 and bills the woman. What a fucking dick.
