the most ridiculous post i've seen in a while. jordan's skill and will to win carried the bulls to 6 championships. when he did lose he didn't make excuses. as stated before, jordan didn't have to get traded to another team with other establaished strars to win a championship. SMH

Jordan already had great players around him... The cavs failed to put anyone around him that was good, or not washed up..

Rodman pound LeBron?
SMH
LeBron has about 20 pounds on him, not to mention being bigger, stronger, more athletic and smarter. LOL

its easy to shoot 70% when you have 10 dunks or lay ups every game. Nobody punishes LeBron like they did when Jordan played. Charles Oakley would have had a hayday getting in LeBron's head. Jordan was better at winning... he didnt have to team up with other superstars to do it.

70% is nuts regardless. Scottie Pippen was ELITE, top 50 player of all time.

Agreed. LeBron is bigger, stronger, faster, a better passer and now a better perimeter shooter. Clearly he's a far better ball-handler and can defend the post and the point (he did both in the NBA Finals while earning finals MVP honors).
There is nothing, absolutely nothing Jordan could do that LeBron can't do better. And I'd like to kick the SOB in the nuts for stiffing the Cavs.
Compare them both when each is 28 and not a GM in the NBA would take Jordan over LeBron. if you're only argument is 6 titles, that's beyond stupid. Who is to say LeBron doesn't win the next six titles and eclipse him.
Besides, I can easily make the argument the only reason Jordan got six titles was because Bird suffered back problems and Magic got HIV. Before those two things happened, MJ couldn't beat either of them.
Finally, if you're using the titles argument, than Bill Russell is your guy, Jordan didn't come close to his 11 titles.

Great post, and right on.

Over the career I like LJs chances at best ever...he is playing at an unreal level right now. I loved MJ but don't think he is half the team player LJ is. MJ would shoot up the rock every time if he had the opportunity...Just my oppinion.

The key to how this argument gets fleshed out is how long DWade can stay healthy vs how much Westbrook and the rest of OKC's supporting cast can improve.
LeBron is at worst top 5 players in the last 40 years by any unbiased opinion. There's not 10 players over that same span I would take over KD. KD might be the best pure scorer I've ever seen and he's only 24. OKC is f'n stacked for the next 5-6 years. I honestly can't see Miami beating OKC four more years. This year Miami repeats. I then think that's it for them unless they revamp their supporting cast.
I weigh championships. Magic's 5 weigh more than Mike's 6. Larry's 3 are about equal to Mike's. If Magic hadn't had to go against Bird, he would've had 8.

People who make cases for Lebron really under-estimate how great Jordan was.
Lebron is beyond amazing but it's Jordan we're talking about. Jordan is the best scorer ever by far, a top 5 perimeter defender ever, and he raised his game in the playoffs every year. Look at his NBA finals stats. Lebron has grown up big time but hasn't always been the killer he is now.
It will be fun to watch how close he can get. There is a 24 year old who is pretty amazing too.

Or maybe, just maybe it's the other way around...

Jordan was great; no doubt about it-- leader in scoring and steals. Today's players are denied a 3rd step (even the stars) and on defense. any thing below the elbow was considered all ball for Jordan. The NBA and especially the commissioner pandered to Jordan.

Todays game is all about finesse. The Detroit Pistons of the 80s would be suspended indefinitely in today's game. Those guys were brutal. Laimbeer was a thug; if you drove the paint against him, you were landing HARD. That era had some teams that would physically abuse you (hey, fouls to give).
Jordan, being as driven as he was, took it right at them game after game, knowing that the hard fouls were coming. Detroit bested him early in his career, but once he learned to let others shoot, he became unstoppable.
Just an absolute will to win. Case in point. During the NBA championship vs Portland, the debate was who was better...Jordan or Drexler....Some of the writers were giving the odds to Drexler based on better three point shooting. Jordan hit six threes in the first half of game one en route to 35 points AT THE HALF.
The man just loved a challenge.
