Lebron is very very good, but tattoos and photo shoots with Giselle Bundchen don't get him within sniffing distance of Mike. | 3 |

| I agree that Jordon is better than James but... Isn't it kind of silly to proclaim that no will EVER be better than Jordon? Someone better will always come along. it might be 20 years or more, but it will happen. It's inevitable.

This thread hurts my brain. It's akin to asking if Sidney Crosby is better than Gretzky.

1) His teams were better than LBJ's
2) Competition back then wasn't as good as it is now.  | |

| Jordan has better shoes too. Plan on buying another pair before church league b-ball season starts up. Just ask Mars Blackmon. | |

| WAY too early to compare LeBron to MJ. Let's at least see how many titles LeBron wins in his career first. I think he gets his first one this year, but he'll still need 5 more to match the number of rings Jordan has. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Alright, I didn't really know. I just knew he put up basically unheard of numbers.

| All I have to say is MJ's career stats are better than LJ's best single season.

| LJ has a lot of MVPs and a lot more Championships to win to be considered in the same league as MJ
If anyone should be considered the next MJ it is Kobe, even though he's not good enough either
I just saw ESPN say something about LJ doing something MJ couldn't do. WTF? He couldn't hold MJs jock strap! ESPN is also making a huge deal about the game winner in Game 2, dude, Cavs are 1-3, who cares?
ESPN = total idiots

| Phil Jackson said in an interview that Kobe Bryant was a better all around player & better talent with the ball than Jordan was, he said that he never asked Jordan to be a playmaker or to take over a game & win it for them but that he has asked Kobe repeatedly to do that. | |

He knows better than that. MJ in his prime is better than Kobe in his prime. | |
