    He does everything better than Jordan, except shoot.

    As he ages, he'll probably improve in that field, too.

    He's more dominant, more valuable, but not a better closer.

    I saw Jordan. He was clutch. James plays without any system. He is the system. He won titles with no name coaches.

    To many, James legacy was tarnished when he left Cleveland to chase a ring.

    Jordan is still the goat.

    Best power forward to play the game, maybe.

    Best to ever play was Lew Alcindor aka Kareem Abdul-Jabar.

    I agree. The thing is, most armchair critics lend so much weight to the fact that Jordan was better in the clutch because people tend to conveniently recall history through the narrow lens of highlight reels rather than a comprehensive overview, which requires more thorough critical thinking.

    Jordan as a clutch player is just an offshoot of Jordan as a more natural scorer, especially with the mid-range shooter. By that's only an aspect of his game that trumps Lebron's, not the end-all be-all.

    Lebron single-handedly dictates outcomes of games and seemingly elevates everyone around him. He could take any team in the East to the Finals and at least crack the playoffs with just about anyone in the West.

    MJ a year after he left the Bulls, they still won 55 games and made the ECF. Lebron leaves the Cavs and they win 19 games. Miami wins 37. No opinion with that, just facts.

    I agree. The biggest part of coaching in the NBA is managing egos for team chemistry. Something Phil was great at doing, which made him a better "coach" than others.

    Yes because bhe hand selected them. He made Pippen. He didn't make Bosh and Wade or Irving and Love. Give me a break. LeBron wouldn't be able to make a shot because he'd be slipping on his own tears if he had to play against the old Knicks or Pistons
