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!

Why does everyone always forget Wilt when it comes to GOAT?

Because Wilt was a stat machine who didn't win enough due to his awful FT shooting and Bill Russell handed his ass to him regularly. He played in an era where a 7'2 center should have done what he did and won more.

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?

I'm guessing Buzz gave you the tattoo info?

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.

Scottie Pippen was one bad mofo. 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.

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.

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.

That's the way I feel when these people try to tell me all of the "reasons" for LeBron being better.

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.

Alright, I didn't really know. I just knew he put up basically unheard of numbers.

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
