Anyone Getting The Feeling Lebron Is Going To Be Better Than Jordan?
He is close already to being a better all around player at age 24, this fuk is soo scary.

no where near as good a defender, and can't shoot FT's at a high enough clip. But still the best in TODAY'S gameComment -
Don't go talking crazy Jew non-sense, JJ. LeBron will never win 6 championships. Never.
Also, LeBron is just top gorilla in the NBA... nothing more. As incredible as guys are athletically in the NBA, LeBron is one level higher. He is that gifted physically. He just a more physically gifted animal, that's all.
No doubt Kobe is more skilled and talented.... more diverse. He has mastered his craft like no other in the NBA. But people can guard him straight-up and force him to shoot a fade away with a hand in his face.
LeBron is so gifted physically he doesn't have to resort to that. He can simply out-animal you with his athleticism. That's what puts him a notch above Kobe in the long run.
It's like Shaq. Shaq is the biggest ape around. Is the most skilled and talented in the NBA in the last 10 years? Maybe not in the top 10 .... but his mass and all-out animalism makes him dominate the game like no other.
Example:
TIm Duncan: Skilled Genius
Shaq: Humungous Ape
It's like comparing Bruce Lee and a pitbull in a fight. Bruce is a million times more skilled... whereas the pitbull is simply a ferocious animal that will win based on it's animalism.
End of story.Comment -
So to sum up....
Shaq and LeBron are basically like huges powerful monkeys... and the rest are mere humans that have to rely on skill to win. Shaq and LeBron simply out-animal the competition. Easy as 1-2-3Comment -

Brock, your PC conditioning makes you say that.... but any Nobel scientist can tell the difference between man and ape.Comment -

Step back and think for a minute. Please remind me of all the great civilizations that Sub-Sahara has produced in millions of years of existence...

hahahaha jj you on acid tonight?Comment -
Kobe is out there busting his balls against great competition. Lebron is seeing one bum team after another and it was nice for the refs to get Josh Smith of the floor for Lebron by calling touch fouls on Smith. Lebron playing against Artest and Battier would get shut down just like Bowen shut him down in the finals.Comment -
very true. good point, thorComment -
hes already better than jordan especially when jordan was his age. forget the rings they will come starting with this year. hes becoming an unreal defender. the ultimate teammate and everyone in the nba would love to play with him.
when its all said and done jordan will be an afterthought.Comment -

As for Lebron, he is freakishly athletic, seems like a solid teammate, and is doing everything right. Best in the game if you are building a team.
With that being said...Jordan changed the game.
Jordan > Lebron.
I think we sometimes forget how good MJ was....I mean, SICK.Comment -
Was watching the Lake game yest and waw watching how they were handling Kobe....even tho he got his points. You could never handle Michael. Michael in that game last night would've ripped em new assholes.
This happens a lot when watching Kobe games. Kobe is great but he's no Jordan.Comment -
I guess you missed the Jordan years when he struggled getting past the Bad Boys...Originally posted by MilfDriller

talk to me when he wins 6 championships...until then...no way!Comment -
u mean when he was playing against a great team and he had 11 bums on his?Originally posted by Mac4LyfeI guess you missed the Jordan years when he struggled getting past the Bad Boys...Comment -
Jordan and Ali are two guys that will NEVER be topped in their sport. MJ wasnt as good as Lebron at a young age but MJ took it to another level.Comment -
This is why JJGOLD is such a shitty capper!!! This thread right here...
Lebron isn't even on the same level as MJ.
Lebron has hardly any skill its just athletic ability. Lebron gets touched and they call a foul, he never gets called for going over someones back or anything down under the basket. Its sad. If he played against the 90's knicks team he would be crying to the refs 1 minute in and refusing to come out and play... He's the kid that would only play touch football and cried when he got pushed down...
MJ had skills, MJ thrived with pressure and contact. Piss MJ off he plays better.
Piss Lebron off and he gets rattled.
MJ could shut anyone down on defense and then score on anyone. MJ could make his free throws, MJ would dunk people's free throws when they missed them. MJ is the best.
Lebron is the best of the current the players at his position. I'd rather have wade or kobe of this fool. Because again, Lebron doesn't have skills he has athletic ability, and JJGOLD can't understand that...
Everyone calls Lebron the king...I'd ****ing take a leak on the king. Try to anoint that!!!Comment -
Asinine Thread that doesnt deserve further discussion. MJ 6 Championships/ 5 Finals MVP. Enough Said.
MJ retired B/c he had no competition, then came back and won 3 more championships.
Lebron has the talent, but let him produce some results that cant be debated, and that out due MJ. Then we will revise this conversation.Comment -
JJ gets his Lebron Fix from the espn hype machine and runs with it. JJ is easy prey for shit like that. He sees the three highlights ESPN runs over and over all day long and JJ thinks Lebron played the whole game like that. Last year Stevenson from Washington said Lebron was overrated. This year Artest said "Lebron really isn't that hard to guard". Did u ever hear anyone say that ever about Jordan?Originally posted by purecarnaggeComment -
Well putOriginally posted by purecarnaggeComment -
Everyone just calm down a minute here and read the question slowly. I don't think Gold ever implied that Lebron right now, is better than Jordan. I assuming he's looking far ahead into the near future.
With the way the league is right now, not many dominant defenders or quality teams left I can see a 24 year old LeBron win at least 3 to 6 Championships by the time he's 35. The Spurs did it with Duncan, so Lebron should be able to do it too!Comment -
We'll know when if LeBron hoists a 7th Championship trophyComment -
Oh he is gonna win this year. I said it from the start. This league will move mountains to make sure he wins it this year. Why u think all these teams lost at the end of the year so Lebron would have the easy ride thru the playoffs. Same thing happen the year he went to the finals. This league did the same thing for Wade when he won his title. Like Rasheed said the year Lebron went to the finals he said this league is like the WWE.Originally posted by frostno98Comment -
I think the MODs get a kick out of us arguing in these threads they start. Every thread they start is just to stir up discussion, rather than make valid points.
MOD's get a round of
for keeping up the chatter in this forum. This forum is one of the many distractions I have when I should be studying for school. And thank God for Crazy "Fade Alert" Lou.

If you had to take 1 player at age 24, who would you take? Lebron or MJ? I'm sorry but I'd have to take Lebron at this early age. I loved watching MJ and he showed up every night but don't forget that he had another hall of famer in Pippen and an incredibly under rated teammates. Lebron has been winning with a bunch of scrubs. He has made these guys into stars. Mo Will was considered a bad seed a year ago. Verajao was a lousy flopper and Z was on his last legs. Lebron and Mike Brown has made the whole team step up their game especially on defense.
He took a horrible Cleveland team to the finals already. A team that had Amon Ones (no D and no J) and Eric Snow starting? Even Jordan couldn't take that team to the finals.
Lebron at 24 is a much better rebounder, assist and outside jump shooter. Jordan didn't really get a good jumper until he was 26/27...Comment -
MJ did not retire because of lack of competition. He retired because of gambling. Read this article if you don't believe me.Originally posted by HoulihansTX

knowing what jordan ended up doing... I would take jordan...Comment -
Well of course but not having a crystal ball and they both were 24 right now, who would you take???Originally posted by G's pksComment -
Damn, just speed-readed through that column. I heard about some of that stuff but took it with a grain of salt. The weird thing is that I dont feel any different about MJ after reading that. Dudes untouchable to me. I almost want to fight people when they say, "so and so is better than MJ."Originally posted by sweetjones55
I say its even more impressive that he came back after that, and toned down his gambling habit at the same time. I guess when you go from having no money, to more than you could spend its easy to get out of control.
What that aricle revealed to my is that MJ has a WINNING HABIT, and thats what made him the best. Sometimes your strengths can work against you.Comment -
hard for me to still not take jordan...because I still know what he did do...Comment
