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

3. Destroying the Point of Attack

James may be at his best against opposing point guards, whom he seems to swallow up with his ridiculous size and speed.

Point guard is often the hardest position for anyone to guard because of the way most teams throw screen after screen at the opposing defender. James often just cuts off the screener and the ball handler at once, as he did to Tony Parker in the 2013 finals and 2011 MVP Derrick Rose in the conference finals, effectively grinding these teams

Sorry, but Jordan never did this

And the sad thing is, this BS thread stays up. If we post something against Lebron, the thread is deleted. The bias for Lebron and his stans on this site is sad.

To even mention Lebron in the same sentence with MJ is a complete joke and the exact reason why loyal fans of basketball dislike Lebron.

Jordan consistently demoralised opponents with his great scoring. He had a much better mid-range and post up game than lebron, and comparing lebrons footwork in the post to MJ's is laughable. His first step was far superior. He could play with his back to the basket, and he could turn and blow by his man with ease. Another key aspect as to why Jordan was better on offense, was that he could make hard moves to the basket and pull up on a dime. That mid range jumper allowed him to still dominate later in his career when he lost some of his athleticism. He also may have been a better finisher at the rim, especially when you take into account the def 3. rule and there being less spacing when MJ played. Comparing their off-the-ball play is also a joke.

He was also a better defender than Lebron. Both played great team defense but MJ's man defense was easily superior. MJ was also quicker, and more tenancious on defense. But most importantly in this compariosn to me was MJ's competitiveness and toughness. He thrived playing on the biggest stage, in the pressure moments. He embraced the challenge and all of the pressure, something bron hasnt done




LeBron....

Do you ever battle a fear of failure?

That's one of my biggest obstacles. I'm afraid of failure. I want to succeed so bad that I become afraid of failing

Lol'd at "Times piece." You mean Epoch Times?

[Angel Face]

Better defender... lets Kawhii win FMVP.

[sportjames23]

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

How is getting swept in the Finals almost winning a chip?

Hint: It's not.

2/5, brah.

His Finals wasn't good, but saying it was the worst ever for an all time great is such an exaggeration. Doesn't hold a candle to Kobe's 2004 Finals.
ESPN shows with clear agendas, like First Take, completely exaggerated an off series by Lebron and basically brainwashed the world into thinking it was a huge choke job. Lebron had one bad playoff series in 4 years with the Heat, so what? Wade and Bosh had at least 4 playoff series that were equally as bad as Lebron's 2011 Finals, if not worse.

lebron is bigger stronger and faster than jordan, that says it all. jordan has a bunch of fans who are basically hero worshipers, therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to see that fact (media bias).

LeBron is bigger stronger and faster than kawhi.. still got owned by him. When Drexler was challenging Jordan for his spot.. he embarrassed him.. Lebron getting embarrassed by leonard would be like Jordan getting embarrassed by latrell Sprewell or something, it just would never happen.

Why can't we just appreciate MJ and LeBron? F[COLOR="Black"]uck[/COLOR] Durant though

He is not even the best sf to play the game and you say he is better than the GOAT? Morons everywhere.
