I think its funnier how Scottie Pippen gets thrown under the bus so easily. Its like no really likes him, and he tries hard to get in the upper circle of guys.
In a fist fight LBJ hands down. On a basketball court, I think even Lebron would tell you MJ was the GOAT.
I think Lebron is a more talented basketball player than MJ, but MJ's drive to win is second to none. If you paired Lebron with a team that 55 wins without him, he would have had a lot more rings than he does now. Most people don't remember this, but the Bulls won 55 games after Jordan retired the first time.
I think Lebron is more talented athletically but basketball skills go to Jordan. I think Jordan would have worked his ass off to get stronger/quicker/better than Lebron had they played in the same eras.
Fact still remains, that '94 bulls team got knocked out in the 2nd round, after MJ led them to three titles in a row. Remember, Pippen quit on PJax in one game. That doesn't happen with MJ on the court. Also, it wasn't the same team. The Bulls added Kukoc, Steve Kerr and Luc Longley to that '93 team. You underestimate how well chemistry of a three-peat championship counts in the regular season, after MJ and PJax taught them how to be winners. Phil Jackson, Pippen, Grant and BJ should be able to win 55 regular season games with Kukoc, Kerr and Longley added to the team. But that doesn't mean they can do anything in the playoffs.
This is about a fist fight. In a boxing ring? I think MJ wins. In a MMA fight, I give it to LeBron. Since these are hypothetical salutations. I think MJ wins a tennis match. But in hockey, I'll give it to LeBron.
I think MJ is more athletic for his position with the insane speed and vertical. As a SF/PF, Lebron has more strength but MJ is really strong for a SG as well.
My point is that Lebron paired with those player instead of the turds he had in Cleveland, he would have more than one ring right now. Lebron's teammates were bad enough to get Irving in their first year.
In terms of basketball talent, MJ is head and shoulders above LeBron. Physically and athletically, I don't think we've ever seen a wing that dominant at the wing before.
Don't know when this poll was done or how many people were polled but Philly seems to agree with me.....at least in this poll... ......... ......... .........
Lebron's size would give him an advantage over MJ in both a fistfight and a 1v1 game of bball. The real question is this: If you have the 1st overall pick, and both guys are there which one do you take?
You realize the people in this poll are probably even less intelligent than the most ignorant of Clutchfans right? (As far as bball knowledge)
