What does LeBron need to do to surpass Jordan?

Shaq may be a 99 on physical ability but he was far from a 99 as far as specimens go. For the far majority of his career, he was overweight. He should've hovered right between 285-305 and instead always seemed to be in the 310-330 area.

285lb shaq ain't shaq. he was 300lb+ from day 1. just look at his massive frame. and it doesn't matter if he was overweight or not. he averaged well over 36min first 12 years of his career. he could power over dudes because he was that much bigger than everybody else yet still ran like gazelle. if shaq isn't a physical specimen than nobody is a physical specimen.

Lebron will never surpass Jordan in my eyes. I don't remember Jordan ever flopping and the 265 lb. Lebron falls over like a feather when touched. I also don't remember Jordan ever shoving the man guarding him out of the way time after time, then breaking to the basket for a wide open shot. Yes I remember one time Jordan pushed off. Lebron and Wade both push and shove and then cry to the refs if anyone touches them. I dislike both of them no end.

In terms of passing MJ, this beat down at the hands of the Spurs extinguished any chance LeBron had left.

In other words, LeBron will never be GOAT.

This fact refreshes me. Let's talk about something else. Maybe we could try talking about TEAM BASKETBALL?

I think a lot of it had to do with the era MJ played in. The late 80's-90's in the NBA was just a ton more physical than it is today. If LeBron/MJ switched places and LeBron had the accolades that MJ had the conversation would be the exact same if MJ was playing now. But if LeBron played in that era and had the finals record he had today (I don't think he would have 4 MVPs playing in that era) he wouldn't be in the GOAT conversation. I get LeBron is built like a freight train but when you are getting flat out punched when driving in the lane it takes a toll on you. So unless LeBron wins 4-5 more Championships and I would say 3 MVP's I don't think he will surpass Jordan.

he will never be as good as MJ

And to think he will be better is just laughable
