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

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

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

No it is not.

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

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.

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.

Pippen didn't need Jordan to be great

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

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.

It is interesting that both LeBron and MJ won the championship in their 7th
