| LeBron better than Jordan?
The answer is NO, but I have many people telling me LBJ is better that MJ, their reason....1) Jordan had better teammates and 2) Competition is better now that it was in the 90s.
Their ignorance annoys me! |

| Yes, why wouldn't a guy with zero championships and a nack for passing up the game winner be better than the guy with 6 rings and "CLUTCH" tattooed on his ass?

| As noted in my roughly 3,629 Peyton debates, I typically put titles before anything else when it comes to greatness. That said, when James wins a defensive player of the year while also winning a scoring title, he might start to garner consideration. And seriously, how much better were Steve Kerr, Toni Kukoc, Bill Cartwright, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Scottie and John Paxon? Scottie was the best out of that bunch, but Jordan made him look so good he stole a spot away from a handful of deserving players for 50 greatest of all time. | |

| also, didn't Jordan win two titles after "retiring" from basketball, playing MLB for a season, then returning to the Association?
Lebron is very very good, but tattoos and photo shoots with Giselle Bundchen don't get him within sniffing distance of Mike.

Even when Jordan won defensive player of the year, Pippen was still the vest defensive player on the team and maybe in the league. Without Pippen, Jordan doesn't have those titles.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Agree 100%...Pippen was perfect for a tandem...he caused defenses to have to spread out between the two and allowed Jordan room to operate. | |
