Lebron is better than Jordan...

...at losing in the Finals. Take GS to win the series for any amount under -300.

Anyone else seeing these articles now about Lebron being greater than MJ due to # of finals appearances at this point in his career? Good stuff. Congrats on getting to the finals in an inferior conference and losing again.

No doubt MJ faced tougher comp and way tougher rules.
I think the comparison is being made because LeBron is so damn good, not because of stats.
LeBron has really turned the corner this year as far as playing with his back to the basket and backing down with an active dribble like Magic used to.
I agree GS has better shooters and play a better, more efficient style of ball than the Cavs. Combine that with home court in a 2-2-1-1-1 series and they are the clear favorite on paper.

LeBron is clearly the biggest, strongest, fastest, best overall basketball player on the court though, and that is a huge advantage mentally for him and his team. Also with the refs.

I just can't recommend stepping in front of that guy right now. He is that good.

If he keeps on losing in the Finals after getting there in a terrible Eastern Conference...he might go down as the most overrated player in NBA history.

Very convenient of you to ignore the fact that Jordan had waaay better players surrounding him. Bulls would have won just as much if not more with Lebron instead of Jordan.

Call me when Lebron win just one back to back to back championships. The Bulls won 6 straight championships in the years jordan wasn't retired.

Would the Cavs be here if they had Jordon instead of Lebron?

It's the same thing every year; talking heads making LBJ vs. MJ comparisons. This is really getting old pretty fast. How can you even compare 2 different styles? Comparison with Larry Bird makes much more sense.

Doubt it. You couldn't guard MJ cause he had a great mid range game to go along with his post game and driving ability. Lebron would have had a much tougher time back then with guys being able to hand check him and put him on the ground without worrying about vagina flagrant calls.
