    ... I would like to, but Jordan never faced elimination in the Finals.

    Please quit trying to say Lebron is the greatest. Thank you.

    I think when most people refer to him as the greatest it is simply for his era or generation which he is. As for the MJ/ Bron comparisons well..

        The Pistons owned Jordan's Bulls for several years. The Pacers almost beat the Bulls in '98. The Bulls and Knicks had some close series. If Jordan doesn't push off Byron Scott the series goes 7 games.

        Nearly everyone loses playoff series. Yea MJ is the greatest, but Lebron is pretty damn good too.

            Lebrick will be forever remembered as disappearing in the final 2 minutes of every quarter.

              This doesnt mean shit. Being the best doesnt make you win finals. You have to have a good team, and right now Lebron doesnt. Im not saying hes better than MJ, but id love to see MJ doing what he did with the Cavs. Stop with this non sense comparisons

                All I can tell you guys is that LJ wanted to be like mike.LJ went to build a team in south beach and they have all superstar,Michael didn't have that.In fact if Jordan didn't retire he would have tons of championship ring.

                      Lebron doesn't have a good team around him ?

                      His bench is Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Mike Miller and Chris Anderson.

                      He has Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade to play along with him.

                      What more do you need ?

                        You are just looking at name tags which is amateur. The Angels have a LOADED line-up on paper and so do the Dodgers and Jays how is that working out? Bosh has mostly been a no show, Wade is very hit and miss but mostly the latter at probably 70% due to injury, Ray Allen is old, comes off the bench, and Mr. 90% has even been struggling at the charity stripe. Again Anderson been kinda hit and miss but he is not a scorer, Spoelstra just realized a few games back oh yeah Mike Miller maybe he would work, Battier, Chalmers all these guys are sporadic at best and out of the big 3 there is currently on 1 that can be trusted! Just remember the best team on paper does not always pan out or can hit rough spots, and ecs in the post season it's all about who gets hot at the right time. Spurs were pretty bad down the stretch and got hot at the right time which we have witnessed in all sports recently with crowned champs like Cards, NY Giants, Ravens etc. People need to get off Bron's dikk and start giving Spurs some credit. They have 3 hof's as well , better coach, and just as good if not better team and system!

                          Look up the playoff history for Bosh and Wade from 2007-2010. They were losing in the 1st round or missing the playoffs in the weak-ass Eastern conference while James was at least leading the Cavs past the 1st round.

                          Carmelo had more 1st round wins over that span than these two so-called "superstars". Neither of them is close to the type of player Pippen was. I would take Rodman and Pippen over these two in a heartbeat.

                          Jordan did have some bad games in the 1996 Finals, going 5-19 and 6-19 two of those games. Yeah, yeah, not close out games but Jordan was human. He wasn't some sort of God that could take on a team and win on his own.

                            He missed more than 50% of his shots.

                            He sucks.

                              Lebron is lucky that there even is a game 7.

                                Jordan is behind Magic and bill russell for best player ever and likely a few others as well
