Jordan beat a team of galactic aliens who had sapped the talents from several NBA stars' bodies in a winner-take-all game in an alternate, animated universe. So maybe let's pump the brakes on Lebron being the greatest until he does THAT.

No one is saying Lebron would be trash in the 90s but he is a ***** in this era with little defense I am certain that would be magnified once he started catching elbows
On the court I think LeBron is one of the best 3 players ever. Off the court, I think he has - at times - made some relatively poor decisions regarding his teammates / picking where he goes. You can say, "yeah, but he made the finals all those times". But look at the drop off when LeBron leaves. His former teams always suck. I thought the Miami move worked out well, but I kind of question everything he did when he went back to Cleveland. Again, not completely bad, but probably could have had more titles if he were a little smarter about it.
It will be interesting to see when he retires, buys an NBA team, and turns it into the next Charlotte Hornets.

Yeah but one of those aliens sapped skills from all time great Shawn Bradley so....
LeBron thought he could trademark Taco Tuesday.
I do like his show The Wall though.

I love Lebron because he's a student of the game and he's a coach on the floor. If you ever hear him mic'd up, it's incredible. He's talking the whole time. He also puts Larry Bird in his top 3 players of all time so he's obviously really smart.

Anybody who doesn’t have larry top 3 is a weirdo, had he not injured his hand and got to shoot with his normal release and not had back problems he’d be the GOAT
Jordan had ******* tendencies.
Lebron has douche tendencies.
Not really that difficult.

Lebron leans on upper management to put specific players around him (e.g., overpaying to get guys like Tristan Thompson). Then when Lebron leaves his former teams are usually complete trash. My argument is that he has - at times - done a crappy job of selecting the talent that he plays with. And the evidence is that after he leaves the remaining team twice couldn't win 20 games and the other time only won 37. Yes - it is a testament to how good he is that the drop off is that significant. But he absolutely had a hand in putting those teams together.
This too... he is kind of a *****.
Not to sound like too huge of a *** (lol too late) but Jordan, in a league of ugly alien looking weirdos, was a good looking, extremely cool looking guy who’s style of play was extremely entertaining to watch. In terms of esthetics Jordan is far and away that best, which I think clouds people’s judgement. LeBron looks like a balding homeless man with that god awful beard.
Larry isn't top 3 even if you don't include Lebron.
Jordan / Kareem / Russell / Magic in some order would have to be ahead of him.
Lebron looks a lot better than AD these days. It's like Mitch asked him to sport the checkerboards.
Bon Jovi named their new album "2020". After listening to it I assume it was because it sucks as bad as 2020 does.
Your fault for listening to a new Bon Jovi album in 2020 imho
To me Skid Row was underrated for the casual music listener who didn't grow up listen to 80's hair bands deep tracks.
I don’t like Lebron and acknowledge he is at worst the second best player to walk this planet.
Thank you and I am glad people are starting to acknowledge my basketball prowess.
I always find it amazing that Lebron has been incredibly famous since he was 16 or so and had to grow up in the spotlight. He seems to be from a fairly rough background. Kobe at least had grown up under his father's tutelage in pro basketball.
If anyone followed any of us dumbasses' every move since 16 and the worst thing they could find is mild doucheyness, that's pretty amazing.
I can't stand him personally but he is a remarkable individual.

It’s not so much play to play physicality, it’s the “don’t bring that **** in here and try to embarrass me” tackles that people didn’t give a damn to put you in check
Lebron, as big as he is, already allows his game to be pushed outside more than he should. I can’t imagine he has the toughness, from what I’ve seen in his career, to continually push that strategy to get “his” like some did.
I could be wrong, and he is absolutely a Top 5 guy EVER, but to throw out a list of names at the rivals position is silly when those teams were really good and had dudes that put MJ on his *** multiple times.

Jimmy Butler's facial hair is giving Lebron a strong run for his money on looking down on his luck.
Having a day that makes me want to pull a JCrow. Enjoy your midlife crisis, man.

I'm not a Lebron guy either. Lebron made me appreciate Kobe a lot more, but...
If Lebron did grow up in the No Babies Allowed era, the kid would have been a monster. He's probably better suited physically to play that style of ball. He would have demolished people. Can't really fault him for growing up in this euro-era.
Who was going to tackle LeBron in the 90's without literally tackling him and getting a flagrant? Again, he's bigger and more athletic than anyone from that era.
I give Jordan a slight edge, but James is 1b or a close second, and putting him in a different era kinda ruins your argument against the guy.

It comes down to this for me. If my life depended on one player to win a basketball game, I want that player to be Michael Jordan.
Legitimate longtime Bulls fan and Jordan honk here (Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, for the record; family ties to Chicago sports). And this is just the truth: LBJ is unreal and might be better than Jordan was. No one will ever know, but he is ridiculous. And I happen to agree that he is a product of his time. Had he been brought up in the "PHYSICAL 90'S?" Lulz. He would've mauled people.

Delonte West F’d his mom. People forget that.
Would Jordan stand for those sexual antics? I don’t think so.

Almost to the point where I want to call BS, but I'm sure Nick has done the homework on that. It's absurd.
A real dirtbag would make a joke about how LeBron didn’t do anything to Delonte West but how something awful happened to the one person we knew had relations with Michael Jordan’s mom but that person would be a real dirtbag.
You can easily create an argument that LeBron’s talent and overall skillset is superior to that of Jordan’s.
Here’s the difference though and what pushes Jordan over the top...

TS. That show's opening literally inspired me to move from Indiana to CA in 1976. Spent the next 25 years there. CA was once a nice place to live.
There isn't another human being that can duplicate what MJ did in terms of athleticism and body control with the ball....the first shot on this clip is sick.
I think Michael Jordan and LeBron James are both good at basketball.
Jamal Murray did that 2 weeks ago. Of course it was against Lebron and not THE Dražen Petrović so take it with a grain of salt.
