Lebron James is on his way...

  • BamaShack said...

    He's unlike any player that has ever dribbled a ball.

    Still not the player Jordan was, Jordan by 10+ in a pickup game

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

    at this point yes. but it could get complicated if lebron gets 5 rings

    Rings are an overrated Stat somewhat a better tool to use is NBa finals MVP, Sam jones and Hondo have 10 and 9 rings respectively does any 1 on earth think they are better than MJ or Kobe?

  • AI has only played with two all-stars in his career and they are Ratliff and Mutombo older both guys who were defensive specialists, imagine if he played with Shaq, duncan, malone etcc...

    Think what you want. I'm going by Facts. Lebron has owned him 13-6.. And majority of those were in Cleveland. With Big Z, Mo Williams, and D West.. A squad full of D teamers.. Not the LA Lakers.

    Better Shooting %. More Asst. More Rebounds and more Wins

    Lebron > Kobe.

    Just think if Lebron had the most dominate C in the history of the game the first 7 years of his career. hmmmm

    Iverson took a much worse team to the NBA finals and actually won a game against a Laker team that was one of the best ever, iverson didn't get a chacne to play with a top 8 and top 15 player in his prime though..

    Undoubtedly you would have a Kobe and Shaq post-championship situation where AI attempted to run the other guy out of town. AI was that player who always wanted to be on a team where he was the only star. No way he could have meshed with another star who was at his level during his prime. If you look at a list of players who had the highest usage rates in a single season of all time, Iverson had 5 of them. And he only averaged 6 assists a game in his career while essentially playing PG. I think it would have been a disaster if he played with one of those guys.

    OF course his assists are going to be terrible he had no 1 to help him score, If i pass you the ball and you can't make a shot im not going to get an assist. That's not entirley true the reason why AI wanted out of Phila is b/c the management effed him over bad by giving him trash to work with.

    Jordan lost to the Bad Boys Pistons or Bird's Celtics every year for his first 7 seasons. It was when he hit his prime that he was perfect. Lebron still has a chance to match that.

    Those teams Lebron played on in Cleveland demanded him to be near perfect to succeed because the team was so weak around him. The only time you can say he truly choked was his first year with Miami against Dallas. Regardless, he still has an opportunity to go on a championship run comparable only to MJ's dynasty in the 90's. Very tough feat but it could be done.

    Incorrect... Jordan isnt half the athlete LBJ is.. Love to see Mike try to stop that freight train or jump over James or out quick James. Nope.

    Bird's celtics had 4 HOF's and the bad boy pistons were ferocious Salley, Mahorn, Rodman, Dumars and zeke; It's different though LBJ's team is loaded with not many good teams in the NBA. Think about the fact that Bosh, Wade and JAmes were all starters on the All-star team b4 they united when has that ever happend in recent memory?

    in a game to 11. although i admit that LBJ seems to be getting better at shooting. maybe MJ by 9

    .....this is the most laughable statement of all time. Michael would EASILY score on LeBron because he can hit from anywhere and any way

    And this is where we see Lebron fans get carried away. Lebrons got a few inches and about 40 pounds on MJ, and I'm positive Jordan could have guarded him and guarded him well. They'd have to switch off on the post but there were few smarter defenders on the perimeter than MJ. And Michael Jordan is one of the most incredible and graceful athletes the game has ever seen. LBJ has more athleticism for sure but to say MJ has half is crazy.
