I disagree, what you got to say about that!?

:)

haha well I disagree with your disagreeing about my agreeing of some sort of disagreement that provokes us to continue our disagreement in an agreeing way without actually agreeing because for some reason we still disagree. :P

Yeah we do love Naker. The best thing is that he doesn't take offence to much. A powerful characteristic of a "good" person.

Ok, this one is surely to start arguments........

I've been thinking about it for a while, actually, this one. I know he's got a lot of haters, but he is just so damn good.

Is Lebron better than Jordan?

How do you define better?
Do you mean better at offence? Better at defence? Better in league? Better in playoffs? Better under pressure? Better shooter? Better passer? Better personality? Better at motivating his team? Better at bringing fans to games?

I personally think that it is unfair/unrealistic to compare. They are two different generations, and also how good a player plays is heavily influenced by how good the team mates are, so it is virtually impossible to compare these two great legends.

i guess the only way to compare is against players of their own generation. I think MJ was a class above in his time, whereas Lebron is still on his way to building his legacy. In terms of what they've both acheived at the same point in career I think they are very similar.
The main point of determining the greatness of a player in the past has been Championship rings and as it stands MJ has 6 and Lebron has 0. So for now that is the only thing we can base who is better off.

Lebron will pass jordan. Lebron can defend all positions and is just as awesome on offence as Jordan ever was

That I'd have to disagree with, I don't think Lebron is even close to Jordan's scoring ability, if there's anyone Kobe would be considered as awesome as Jordan was. Plus the sheer clutch factor of MJ hasn't been seen by anyone since he retired.

I knew someone would blurt this out and...... uhoh!! look who it is!

If you were creating an all-time dream team, would you pick Jordan or Lebron first because, surely, these would be two of the first picks.

I've always considered His Airness to be the greatest of all time, but after observing Lebron....... and he's still so young. He's just so powerful.

yeh man, no doubt Lebron is more powerful and stronger than MJ ever was, but thats the evolving nature of the game i guess and can only base their talents and skills on the current crop of players around them.
I guess you could say that Lebron is a perfect speciment of what a Basketball player should be built like, Fast, strong, powerful and agile. He is Mr. Perfect and can play 1 to 5 hahah.

You spout lies!

Jordan brought the NBA to the world. I ask all my non basketball friends and work mates. They all know who MJ is, they have not even heard of the name Lebron in their entire life... nor do they know Kobe. Right about now even Kobe has earnt more accolades then Lebron. However in a decade time we will see Lebron stands, but I can guarantee you it won;t be above Jordan.

Being the best is not just about being able to defend all positions or about who has better offense, its about everything...
on the court and off the court...

there's also 1 thing Kobe or Lebron will never beat MJ in and it is the fact that Michael Jordan never lost an NBA Finals Series. Kobe has lost 2 and Lebron has lost 1.
