The Front Row

I still can't bring myself to like that son of a bitch for leaving my Cavs but I'm willing to forgive and forget if he comes back and wins Cleveland a couple titles. +1

I think the most accurate term to describe him would be "most talented" player ever... He can do more things offensively than probably anyone, ever... And his defense, his supposed weakness his first several years, is as good as any in the league... The combination of those, then adding in his basketball IQ, makes him the most talented ever....
Having said that, though, I'll bet if you asked 100 people between the ages of 36 and 50, all of which have been avid NBA fans during that timeframe, ask them if they could choose 1 player from that era, and could have that player at his peak, Michael Jordan would be the overwhelming choice... Jordan was an absolute assassin, on both ends of the floor, and his competitive drive was/is, second to none... Now, fast forward 5 years and lebron has 3 or 4 or 5 championships? Well, lets just say there will be a debate

Michael Jordan, no debate. Lebron is great, but he isn't must see TV. Jordan wanted to destroy everyone on the court every single game and it was just awesome to watch. I dont get that sense from LBJ ever really.

I was around for Jordan. This greatest ever stuff is over blown. Look at his stats, his shooting percentage was not as impressive as one would think. Especially his 3 ball. What part of his game was better than Lebron? Lebron is faster, bigger, stronger, and will stat Jordan to death in the end. I think Jordan was great, but the stats in the end won't lie. Lebron is just at an incredible level right now. Shooting almost 70 percent is just crazy.

30 PPG for his career as a 50% shooter which includes his Wizards years, not impressive lmfao. Lebron is 27.5 on 49%. 33.4 to 28.5 in the postseason and didn't choke in 2 finals like Lebron.

35 PPG on 54% is a lot more impressive than 27 on 56% and who gives a shit about a 5 game stretch.

Lebron isn't close to MJ as a scorer and he doesn't have 1/5 the playoff resume.

The kind of basketball Lebron has been playing of late is better than anything I've ever seen. He's unstoppable most of the time and his amazing string of accuracy is far from just lay ups. He can do pretty much anything at every position on the court. He may or may not be the best ever but I'd take him the way he's playing right now before anybody else. And I'm a jilted Cavs fan.

Dumb. Many forget that the nba was much more of a "basketball" game when Jordan played. The NBA now is phenomenal athletes running up and down the court.

No, he simply waited until Larry and Magic got old. Larry Bird's Celtics owned Jordan's Bulls. Does that mean Larry was better? I mean Larry dominated him in wins. I predict that you will say that it is a team game, and MJ had the lesser team. I agree, but you can't have it both ways. Lebron would own MJ going to the basket, rebounding, assists, etc. scoring is the only one that would be close. Look at MJs body, and then look at Lebron's. No match. Check out MJs 3 point shooting percentage his first 8 years, not great. In the end Lebron will out stat MJ. He is the far more well rounded player.

MJ was a great player, but if Lebron keeps this up, there will be no comparison. Now, can he keep this up? I don't know, but he seems to get better every year, and I think he hasn't hit his prime yet.

Compare Jordan to Lebron at the same age, and it is very close.
