    As a raw basketball individual, no one has a greater impact than Lebron

    He can turn water into wine, but he can't make wine from succulent grapes of talent

    This.

    Jordan led some scrub teams to the ECF in the 80s. He ran into the eventual champion Pistons.

    Do you think it's just a coincidence that Bron can lead teams through the east only to get curb stomped once he sees an actual team from the west. I mean it happens time after time after time after time... After time and people still haven't caught on to the gimmick?

    You've done it. Congratulations. You've entered the "Stupidest Single Sentence Ever Posted on ISH" hall of fame. Not only that. This may be one of the top 5 or top 10 stupidest sentences ever by someone I think is attempting to be serious.

    Meh, he's right and wrong. LeBron does have a way of somewhat hindering other All-Star/HOF teammates' talent because he's so ball-dominant. Not saying he never gets the most out of them in their adjusted roles, but I do think his style of play does have a tendency to make him look like a deity on lesser talented teams because he's such a great talent and he can generate almost endless open looks with his slashing and passing ability. But yeah, that same immense talent and ability is what sometimes leads to him curbing the talent of All-Star caliber teammates.

    ^^^^^

    And Jordan led an awful team to the ECF in '89 by beating a 2nd and 3rd seed without HCA. In the ECF they were the only team to beat the eventual champs in the playoffs.

    in relative to nba history, you don't think the 80's east is one of the stronger if not strongest conference?

    Lebron is better than MJ at carrying scrubs to relevancy because he can be a 30 ppg scorer AND a "glue" guy at the same time, but MJ is better at leading a contender over the top. And give MJ Lebron's Cavs squads in this era and he does exponentially better than 1-9. Won't go quite as well as LBJ but he'd be close.

    Not even worth debating with yet another LeTroll.

    MJ > Kobe >>> LeBron

    6/6 > 5/7 >>> 2/6

    There's a reason MJ and Kobe were 1st round losers before they got superstars.

    Well, this loser is back. How you like 2/6, bitch?

    Jordan in his last season with the Bulls (at age 35) had the Bulls trending towards a 60 win season without Scottie Pippen. They started slow that year without him, but were on fire by about Christmas break.
