    Anybody that truly thinks LeBron > Jordan is either under the age of 30 or from Cleveland

    One is 6-0 in the Finals (would have been 8-0)
    One is 2-4 (should be 1-5)

    The GOAT simply can not be 2-4 (should be 1-5) on the biggest stage. LeBron nuthuggers have been leaning on the same stale excuse for 12 yrs now. LeBron has played with more talent over the last 7 yrs than any other superstar in the league. Find a new excuse. Dude goes 2-2 (should be 1-3) with 3/5th's of team USA starting line-UP + another HOF'er to boot

    Giant does not think jordan was even any good until scottie pippen turned his career around.

    The other one I hear is that the great Phil jackson made Jordan. You know the same phil who was never a head coach before.

    jordan never made a finals until he got pippen AND phil jackson.

    all 3 of those guys helped each other (phil, pippen, jordan).

    i still think jordan was better, but james not far behind.

    james easily top 5 of all time, which is just awesome

    Lebron's version of NBA basketball is unwatchable. The Warriors give us hope. They're fun to watch. Lebron pushes off, travels, slams into anyone in his way, flops, and totally hogs the ball. Oh yeah, he whines too. Unwatchable. My recollection of Jordan is that he was extraordinarily watchable.

    We might never see LeBron in another final due to an injury or just other teams playing better nothing is guaranteed he had a lot of chances

    Phil Jackson beat Lebron this year. Who do you think taught Steve Kerr how to coach? So Phil actually has 14 NBA titles.

    Funny to hear Jackson whining about some of the same things players on past teams have done or got away with as well. MJ got away with plenty of steps during his playing time too, but so have a lot of star players, Phil makes it sound like Lebron invented it.

    Push-offs, please, Shaq would throw that big rear into reverse and straight back up over people. Phil crying over sour grapes now that he has a suck nut team. Unwatchable? That is the definition of Knicks basketball, now that is some unwatchable feces right there.

    Guy needs to worry about his own back yard, before trying to clean up everyone else's.

    Are you really having to mention Michael at 140 years old with the Wizards? I'd say we are done here no? Lebron has a cake walk to the finals every year of course he's gonna make it to 5 straight. Especially when you decide to team up with 2 super stars. He should be thanking wade and Allen for allowing him to even be in the discussion with MJ.

    Probably trolling, but .. 30 year old Lebron at the peak of his prime vs... 38-40 year old Michael ...

    Good point. Jordan was playing baseball at age 30. It's MJ's 3 rings to Lebron's 2 at this point in Lebron's career.

    Jackson is pissed because he's finding out what it's like to run a bad team instead of inheriting superstars and he can't handle it.

    Not real different than Pat Riley back in the day. When he was coaching the showtime Lakers he whined about the state of basketball because of how the bad boy Pistons played. Then he went on to coach the Knicks with Oakley, Ewing, Mason, etc. and basically tried to reincarnate the bad boy Pistons.

    Phil a frustrated guy and has been exposed because the only time he won was with Hall of Fame players and loaded rosters

    He knows the Knicks are an eight seed or lower for the next 10 years

    Everyone knows that you have to have some kind of roster nowadays and in the past. Most teams who win championships constantly have HOF in their roster. So Phil was just one of them who had the ones like Jordan and Kobe (+ each their teammates who were not shabby either).

    He would actually help James even though I am not a Anthony fan
