I use to see Jordan play in person back in the day. He was just a different player than Lebron. Jordan was possessed. He was intent on winning. Lebron is more calculating, he'll rest/take off plays in order to have something left in the tank later. I tell my kids that Jordan is still the greatest but Lebron is quickly approaching. Jordan didn't have the 3 pointer, nor this mid range fade away but Lebron didn't dunk in traffic like Jordan would on 2 or 3 guys. I'm starting to change my opinion and say that Jordan and Lebron are 1a and 1b. 2 transcendent guys of which we may never ever see again. Both guys did thing that I came away saying... WTF? How the hell did he do that?
I think it demeans either one of them to put either down. They both are the greatest, no doubt.
