season. Cleveland was swept by the Spurs in 2007, LeBron's 2nd season. It's hard to believe that this is his 11th season in the NBA.

I'm not exactly sure where the argument is for Lebron

SUAVO

5/28/15 10:35pm

Yep. LeBron is great, but there will only ever be one MJ.

Flippy

5/28/15 10:36pm

We've actually had numerous players who were very jordanesque

ZonaCougar12

You and the Bulls fans are a little sensitive.

I would be as well if someone tried to compare a guy that wasn't yet close

Took a roster full of Cleveland scrubs to the finals....twice. Just saying.

That's as much about the weak East as it is about LeBron.

Scrubs? Both times? Am I missing the 2nd time roster here?

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:43pm

Irving on one leg is a scrub. And the others are throw aways without Lebron.

byubyu

5/28/15 10:53pm

It's ok, definitely not awfully good

ZonaCougar12

5/28/15 10:54pm

No question he does...Star players do that. But I find it ironic when people

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:56pm

Although... that's Jordan's epilogue.

BarraCouga

5/28/15 10:42pm

Jordan didn't bounce around teams to win titles...I'm just saying.

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:43pm

Different eras

TrueAndBlue

5/28/15 10:48pm

Like that matters.

Baron

5/28/15 10:48pm

Absolutely matters....1 player chased titles...1 player simply won titles.

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:51pm

What a stupid statement. Jordan stayed where it was best for him to win.

Baron

5/28/15 10:53pm

Jordan didn't chase titles. He won them. If...IF LBJ were Jordan's equal...

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:54pm

I love how you think you know how Jordan would have acted if he was in

Baron

5/28/15 10:57pm

Irony isn't lost on that statement...same thing you're saying.

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:59pm

No it is not.

Baron

COUGZ

Because he had a first ballot HOF sidekick.

Shimmy

5/28/15 10:56pm

LBJ has played with 2 first ballot HOF's as well...who were already on their

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:58pm

Lol. So much funny about this post. Bosh a first ballot HOFer?

byubyu

5/28/15 11:02pm

Chris Bosh is a career 19 and 9 player and 10x NBA all-star

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:08pm

I don't think being an All Star should matter much, it's based off of...

BengalCougar

5/28/15 11:31pm

Wade averaged 22 and 21 the two Heat title runs...broken down?

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:10pm

Absolutely. And it's no coincidence his FG% drops 8 points once Lebron leaves.

byubyu

5/28/15 11:16pm

12th season...of course it was going to go down.

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:18pm

Misleading stat

ZonaCougar12

Not to mention a 2 time defensive POY, 7 time 1st team defense, and best

If only Karl Malone could have known!

BluePete

5/28/15 11:04pm

It would be nice to compare things ceteris parabis.

Baron

5/28/15 10:42pm

What scrubs this time around? The Cavs have a very solid NBA roster

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:45pm

What best power forward? And are you talking about a healthy Kryie Irving?

Baron

5/28/15 10:47pm

Kevin Love played a role in getting Cleveland the #2 seed....

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:50pm

So tell me who had the better supporting cast? Jordan or James? Also

Baron

5/28/15 10:51pm

Which season for the Bulls? 96-98 obviously Jordan's Bulls...the first 3 titles

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:55pm

How did the Bulls do when Lebron retired? Now tell me how the Heat or the Cavs

Baron

5/28/15 11:04pm

James has yet to have a semblance of a coach.

Crush4

5/28/15 10:56pm

Now I can agree with that, 100%

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:58pm

Why can't we just enjoy/appreciate Lebron without having to wax poetic about

Crush4

5/28/15 10:50pm

LBJ is great, but no greater than Kobe or other Jordan chasers....

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:53pm

Relax dude.

bushy7

5/28/15 10:56pm

If he wins this championship, I might.

Shimmy

5/28/15 10:58pm

The problem is that LBJ has lost 3 finals already. The 6-0 # for MJ

COUGZ

5/28/15 10:59pm

Scottie Pippen or Iglauskas. Hmmmm.

Crush4

5/28/15 11:01pm

Ilgauskas or Bill Wennington?

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:11pm

Too bad Jordan was only good enough to get to 6. The years he would have lost

Baron

5/28/15 11:01pm

Or was forced out due to an embarrassing gambling problem

TrueAndBlue

5/28/15 11:03pm

Lebron might go to 8 finals. Going 4-4 in the finals would

Shimmy

5/28/15 11:04pm

Too bad he never lost.

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:09pm

If that is your only qualifier, you would win the argument going away.

Shimmy

5/28/15 11:03pm

I'm not sure if anything trumps that...take Jim Kelly for an example....

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:14pm

So Bill Russel is the GOAT?

Baron

5/28/15 11:17pm

Zing!

TrueAndBlue

5/28/15 11:18pm

And Robert Horry > Michael Jordan

TrueAndBlue

5/28/15 11:20pm

I'm sure it could be argued.

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:19pm

He has a specactular list of accomplisments:

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:21pm

Hard to compare

ZonaCougar12

Pippen didn't need Jordan to be great

ZonaCougar12

5/28/15 10:59pm

Haha phlegm

TrueAndBlue

5/28/15 11:04pm

Pippen's best statistical all-around years were with Jordan.

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:04pm

Pippen only played in 30 games his last 5 seasons? Try 250+, which included a

byubyu

5/28/15 11:21pm

NBA stars site was way, way off then. Appreciate correction

COUGZ

5/28/15 11:43pm

I'm just saying pippen could have played without jordan and been fine

ZonaCougar12

5/28/15 11:24pm

And Wade and Bosh were great before LeBron. Still lost twice in the finals.

autonomous

5/28/15 11:59pm

Yet what about those years Jordan never made the finals before Scottie joined.
