    Lebron is an amazing player in his own right though

    They don't even have similar styles so why do we always have to compare them?
    Their drama level.

      Fine he's mentally weak.....And he's still one of the best ever at 29

      Next?

            You are obviously just a blind Lebron hater...Just a waste of time to argue someone as clueless as you

            Lebron not even in Larry Bird's class.....Bookies must love you

            Goodnight

              Dummy- Look at the stats at 29. Bird is better.

                I enjoy watching great players play. I enjoy watching Lebron play but remember Lebron himself created the hype machine proclaiming himself King before he had a crown. He even had "Chosen 1" tattooed on his arm. The media has tried to spin this into an argument that can't be won either way but draws hits on their websites.

                Young kids throw out Lebron's name as the greatest because he's all they know. Old school folks get pissed off because they remember the other greats. Young guys didn't see Jordan or Wilt or Elgin Baylor or Bill Russell or Magic or Bird. Young guys don't know how Magic and Bird saved the NBA, they don't remember how Jordan took the game internationally, they definitely don't know how half the entire world have owned a pair of Air Jordan's.

                Although I didn't see Baylor, Russell or Wilt, I can appreciate them all.

                  At 29 years of age Bird had more Rebounds, Assists and Steals per game than LeBron at 29. Pts scored was 25.8 to 27.1

                    All that hype stuff means nothing if you're talking strictly basketball and trying to compare talents

                    All of those guys are some of the best ever but the Lebron haters will try to act like he doesn't even belong in the same breath....I think the Lebron fans are more rational than the haters

                    I'm not even a big fan of the guy but he absolutely belongs in the discussion as one of the best ever

                        One thing that separates Jordan from all the rest is how he use to go up and over guys in traffic. Outside of Shaq and Wilt, I've never seen a guy that could just get in the paint and power over guys. Look at this video snippet. I've never seen Lebron do half of these dunks in the game. He usually has to be wide open. Very rarely does he go over guys (except on alley oops). Jordan would go over you and stuff the ball while you were guarding him. It was much more contact back in those days but he would just play through it.

                          dummy- There are a lot more players that are better than LeBron. It's not that people are LeBron haters. It's just that most never watched guys prior to LeBron. We all know LeBron is great but not close to top 5 all time.

                            Lebron Fans: Why is it that Lebron never has talent around him? What does he need? Carmelo, Love, and Dirk? How much talent do you need to give this guy to win. If you Replaced Wade Bosh and James with Duncan Parker Ginobli and Leonard, you guys would probably be telling me that that lebron doesn't have enough players around him.

                                No one is saying that at all.....The way the Spurs played, nobody was beating them

                                You can replace Lebron with anyone in history and the result is the same

                                Again....Lebron played very well in the finals and his team got crushed.....What does that tell you? He has no heart for some people

                                      When he played well, the Heat were winning big. Then he decided to stop shooting.

                                          So if Lebron shot more they would have won the series? What are you even saying?

                                              Mia was up 29-22 after the first quarter and then LeBron stopped playing.

                                                Yes, they would have won if he shot more and stayed aggressive. He got passive.

                                                  Jordan was on teams that allowed him to flourish because he had guys around him that were stalwarts and did the little things right that win basketball games.... defense, rebounding, timely buckets etc. Jordan really wasn't asked to guard the opponent's best player because that assignment was usually given to Scottie Pippen, who was one of the best, most versatile defenders ever.

                                                  Lebron doesn't have that luxury. If a guy on the other team proves unstoppable, Lebron inevitably draws that as his primary defensive responsibility. Oh and by the way, could you go out there and clean up the glass and drop 30 while you're at it? It's a lot to ask of one guy. Basketball is a TEAM sport. No matter how you spin it, one guy cannot go out and defeat five. Did anybody bother to chip in for the Heat besides Lebron? Bosh is far too finesse and Wade was an absolute nightmare this series. They have zero presence in the paint.

                                                  The Heat are not a good team. If you remove James, this hodgepodge roster of has-beens probably doesn't make the playoffs. They were good enough to get two rings when Wade and Chalmers actually had a pulse, but this team was exposed by a more talented, deeper, better coached Spurs squad. Does anybody really think Jordan in James's place would have yielded a different result? Nonsense.... Jordan would have been just jacking up shots while facing double and triple teams. And Jordan's presence would have done nothing to shore up the shitty defense that plagued the Heat all series.

                                                    LeBron's talent is there. He just isn't wired like the greats.

                                                      The best opponent given to Pippen is a lie that keeps getting repeated. It was fairly even and depended upon the opponent. If it was the last play, it also went to Jordan. In one year Pippen only played 44 games and they were 62-20.

                                                        i dont know how any1 can blame lebron for them getting destroyed
                                                        hes the only one to show up
                                                        does he have a good team, sure he does, but NOBODY SHOWED UP

                                                        how exactly does wade get a pass?
                                                        hes been resting all season for moments like these and he did jack shit
                                                        if lebron had dropped 50 points and grabbed 20 rebs, they still would have lost

                                                          Good post

                                                          It's not even an excuse at all....Lebron did a great job throughout the playoffs but the Spurs as a team were just that much better than the Heat

                                                          Lebron could have scored 50 a game and they still probably lose the series

They have zero presence in the paint.

                                                                    The Heat are not a good team. If you remove James, this hodgepodge roster of has-beens probably doesn't make the playoffs. They were good enough to get two rings when Wade and Chalmers actually had a pulse, but this team was exposed by a more talented, deeper, better coached Spurs squad. Does anybody really think Jordan in James's place would have yielded a different result? Nonsense.... Jordan would have been just jacking up shots while facing double and triple teams. And Jordan's presence would have done nothing to shore up the shitty defense that plagued the Heat all series.
