Not 5, but 8 reasons why LeBron James is greater than Michael Jordan (Times piece)

[mehyaM24]

1. Defensive Versatility

Michael Jordan used his speed and athleticism to shut down opposing perimeter players and generate turnovers. But James is just as athletic and he is capable of dominating almost any opposing player from point guards to power forwards. He is even capable of playing against some centers on defense.

To illustrate the difference between Jordan and James, let

I'd like to see what the guy that keeps spamming MJ > LeBron threads have to say about this

It's nice to know that not everyone has been brainwashed by the Jordan hype machine that is the media.

who? whatever the case, 8 > 5.

regarding the article, i love the bit about his defense. lebron is such a defensive behemoth that, he can disrupt all sorts of offenses outside his natural position.

nope

What exactly is this supposed to prove?
Lebron is a PASS FIRST all around player. Bringing up his point totals when he was deferring to Wade really makes no sense.

only retards think that lebron > mj is a legitimate argument at this point.

Makes sense if you want to WIN.

Lebron trolls are the most delusioned little fakkits anywhere. Even the most absurd Kobe stan never showed his ass like this.

2/5 and disappearing in the 4th Quarters of NBA Finals alone ensure Lebron will NEVER be on or above MJ's level.

Should be automatic bans handed out for this kind of tomfoolery.

i dont think lebron is greater, yet at least, but he is better all-around. without a doubt.

with the 3 point shot, dude has no weaknesses in his game (jordan's 3pt shot was suspect).

No weaknesses?

1) Lack of leadership
2) Lack of mental toughness
3) Flopping
4) Betaness

The 2011 Finals ended any chance LeBron had at surpassing Jordan. He almost singlehandedly cost his team the championship with his inexplicable passiveness, saw his ppg drop by NINE, had an 8 point game in the series changing Game 4, and was a complete ghost in the 4th quarter. The numbers don't even do it justice. Just watch the games again, in the 4th quarter you seriously won't even notice LeBron's on the court. Jordan NEVER had a series that bad, and it's very arguably no other all time great had a worse series than LeBron did in the 2011 Finals.

we aren't talking jordan without pippen (1-9 in the playoffs). this is lebron, the guy who almost won a chip without any allstars / legit second option on his team.

find a tangible weakness in his game. hint: you cant
