Well...Jordan didn't think so. When asked "who's the better player, Lebron or Kobe?" He said Kobe, no hesitation.
Aside from his hands, LeBron might be the most physically gifted guard/swingman in the history of the league.
MJ would probably pee on Lebron then MJ would intimidate lebron to clean it up with a sponge, then squeeze it into a bottle put it in the fridge for 6 months and drink it on the anniversary of micheals sixth championship.
Let me put it this way... If Jordan were on that team, Chris Bosh would have been crying to sleep every night and would have been guaranteed to be traded away in the off-season.
Chris Bosh isnt the problem he is who we thought he was, its people who didnt see how soft he was in Toronto that are surprised by his softness. Lebrons game is a lie, I watched this cat for years and years I saw amazing play after amazing play and was hooked, the problem is that his game is empty, somehow when it counts he becomes a scrub. Seriously dallas wasnt even closing out on him in crunch they just let him shoot open 3s they didnt even respect him at all. Lebron is nothing but all flash and no substance. Geez its so depressing cuz ive hated michael jordan ever since the Chicago vs phoenix series, its sad because I watched penny and grant hill, injuries took them out, then I watched kobe come up way short, and I was excited about lebron because he was a totally different player from what we have seen almost like dr j and magic mixed together. But it turns out that he is a total and complete fraud. Seriously you cant even call what lebron does choking it has to be referred to as something a couple degrees worse...............
Is grace a physical attribute? I don't see how Lebron's uncoordinated Artest drives compare to Jordan, Julius and Clyde, frankly. He sure is fast and strong though. (I think you could make the argument that Wade is more gifted, see how he gets into the lane?)
He's played like complete garbage in the Finals (after Game 1), but the hyperbole here is ridiculous. Since when does the Eastern Conference Finals not count? Or are you saying he was a scrub against the Bulls as well?
Keep in mind that this is the same guy who drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison. Great player, not exactly the best judge of talent.
Shine some light will you, with the performances that we are seeing from this guy, seeing that Dallas doesnt have the least bit of respect for his perimeter game, seeing him get waived off by his role players namely mike miller and mario chalmers, seeing that his 2nd option is dragging him along like dead weight and you can clearly see the strain on dwades face, seeing that he is disengaged and is not even aggressive offensively and on top of that is SLACKING ON DEFENSE of all things after saying he hangs his hat on defense. After saying that this was the biggest game of his life and he barely drove the basketball. How can you still support that? He is not just playing bad he either doesnt care about a chip OR he is so overly confident that he wants the game to go to seven games probably for some type of gambling purposes.
Lebron was clutch most of playoffs, but on the biggest stage, he has completely fallen apart. Jordan would play the way Lebron has, and Jordan would destroy his teammates for not showing up. MJ had a reputation for being harsh on his teammates... <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Jq6avQRL37Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can't exactly defend Adam Morrison, but EVERY SINGLE TEAM would have selected Kwame Brown number 1 in that draft.
I completely disagree with that. Give me Jordan's hands and fluidity in that 6-6 body over Lebron's gifts every single day of the week.
The three point jumper isn't LeBron's game. It's driving to the hoop and dishing it out / tearing the rim down. The Mavs have done a good job of containing LeBron so far. They can't contain Wade, but they can contain LeBron. Strange.
That's not true. I know that because the Clippers (the team I root for) had the #2 pick that year and there was great debate over who they'd take. Brown, Chandler, Curry a the least were in the discussion (not that any of them really panned out). That draft was awful though so I'm not going to crucify MJ there. He does seem to be pretty clueless as a GM though.
See this is the thing with that, I have witnessed kobe shrink in the playoffs as well, so the kobe thing does not work, what ever you can say about lebron you can say about kobe. Lebron shrinks - Kobe shrunk in the playoffs in the past Lebrons a sidekick - Kobe won 3 chips as one Lebrons a douche - Kobes a douche It just doesnt work With that being said lebron freaking sucks
