    Would michael jordan be getting the criticism that lebron and other players get?

    Jordan used to tell players he would kill them. could you imagine that being showed on twitter now.

    Lebron is still 2 years younger then jordan when he won his 1st championship.

    if the internet was around back then you wouldn't have been able to succeed in weight lifting, tennis, and all of the other sports you conquer. you would be occupied w/ the internets.

            Pretty sure facebook, twitter, and SBR had nothing to do with his decision to leave Cleveland and announce his Decision to millions of people on tv.. Remember, that's when most of his criticism started...

                    If lebron wins this yr, he will actually be less then a yr younger then when jordan won his first...


                    but I agree with you about jordan

                      Jordan was 21 when he came into the league. So LeBron has had more seasons to win that first championship. And if we had the coverage back then that we had today, Karl Malone wouldn't have been in the league for statutory rape, Jordan would have been banned for gambling, etc...

                        agreed.

                        i hate when anyone that uses that stupid argument about age. It's about playing years. The NBA experience and mileage etc all play a big role, so year for year is not equivalent.

                        Also, jordan's era of players was the best the league has ever seen. It's not the same.

                        Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isiah, Hakeem, Ewing, Doctor J, Barkley, Kareem, Moses Malone. not to mention guys like Drexler, Nique, and even underrated guys like Alex English etc.

                        it was only when bird/magic's/isiah's career were close to ending that he finally was able to get that first chip.
