Yeah, let's see, an argument for Jordan over Lebron....hmm......




6 RINGS!





LeBron is 22? J had none at 22....And he had pippen..
 
lebron better than MJ, even his shoes arent better than MJ's :ROFL:

who knows until le bron wins his 7th ring and gets better kicks..until then le bron should work on his 1st ring, and be best in the league, before he can be argued as the best ever...

Again, even if he does not win a ring, does that make him less great of a player? This is a different day and age, Jordan changed the game and inspired many to follow in his foot steps...They are...To think no one is or will be better than J is asinine. Perhaps no one will be better in the clutch, but I mean overall.......

you gotta remember spizz, jordan had a career of accomplishments. He was solid and steady for over a decade. There have been many young superstars who burnt themselves out. I personally think that lebron is the real deal, but i will hold my judgment until i've seen him pump out more than wins and numbers. He's gotta bring home the trophy, or all that flash will have been for nothing.

on a side note, the frequency of foul calls is starting to annoy me. Ive stopped watching a few games because of the sheer number of calls and game stoppage. i'm not sure if a new policy was implemented, but refs have to man up and not be so whistle-happy
 
I was born in Chicago...lmfao I have seen almost every game Jordan ever played.... I also remember before his first trophy, he was not very well recieved..."Ball hog" "Compulsive gambler"...Greatness is more clear in hind sight...I was just giving you guys the heads up ;)....lol

that's exactly what i was trying to get at :)

which is also why it's sort of moot to get into an argument over past vs present

Rings are important, look at Dominique Wilkins great athlete, player..played with Magic, bird and jordan but isn't considered to be as great as them cause he never won a chip..

Lebron may become better than MJ, as far as his game..but he will not be greater than him 6 rings says a lot, you can be lucky to win one but 6?!

Yes, you can be great without winning it all....Just not on a great team.;) You could be the G.O.A.T. and not win a playoff game........
