Like yoda i have watched a very large amount of MJ's games and in my opinion LeBron can't hold a candle to him. MJ was a killer. His desire to win is stronger than anyone who has played in my time (possibly the only bloke that comes close ever is Bill Russell). He carried some mediocre supporting casts to greatness (Longley, Purdue, Wennington, King, Buchler, Hodges, Kerr, Paxon, Dele, Parrish, Armstrong et all are essentially scrubs in BB speak). MJ wanted to be on the big stage, he wanted to take the big shot, and more often than not he made it. He also played in an era when hand checking was legal which made his job of scoring even tougher. If the young MJ played under the rules that Lebron Wade, Kobe and co do when you can charge at the basket and get a call at your leisure he would have scored 45 a game.Don't get me wrong i am not a Lebron hater. I love watching him play and actually watched him play high school ball in the USA when i was over there last. He is amazing and is one of the top 2-3 guys in the NBA at the minute but to compare him to MY is in my book just a silly thing to do.
West MVPs done for week 4 and 5...phew.
