James better than Jordan? Silly rabbit.

Jordan is probably the greatest competitor that ever played the game. And I wouldn't make a heartfelt argument that anyone was better than him.

But I've never seen a player dominate a game as easily as James does.

This must have been what Wilt was like in the late 50's/early 60's.

So many just seem to want to not understand what i am saying. You will get no argument from me that LBJ is not the greatest player of perhaps all time. That for me is not enough. I of course do not know LBJ personally, as neither do any of you. I would like him to simply let his greatness shine forth and be the ultimate team player and to do it with class and style. Major histronics over a tweaked ankle in a game that is already decided may seem a small and insignificant thing. To me i see a totally self absorbed individual who has let all the hero worship get into his head. I think it's sad that so many are so impressed with an individuals talent that they lose all perspective and idolize someone (anyone) to the point that any criticism of that person is unacceptable and offensive to them. I stand by my comments and feel i have the right to my opinion. It is symptomatic that so many are offended or feel i am "cheating myself" to not blindly idolize someone simply because they are recognized as the best. I enjoy watching him play for that very reason so how am i "cheating myself"? candrew makes a great point about Wilt who IMO is the second greatest player of all time, but it must be said that Wilt also had many negative character traits.

The photo of you was totally unneccessary.

Must not have watched Jordan play that much.

Don't get me wrong, James is probably the most gifted athlete of all time, but he's not a better basketball player than Jordan.

That sounds reasonable.

Michael Jordan was and remains the GOAT. I don't think James has that literal insane level of competitiveness that Jordan does, and his career reflects that (so far, anyway). No player before or since combined such levels of skill, with such levels of intelligence, and with such levels of dogged will.

There is nothing wrong with saying a player isn't better than Michael Jordan, but the inverse is true.
