Why Lebron is Better Than Jordan.
The debate among greatest between Michael Jordan and Lebron James is not even close. Every NBA star since the year 2000 have been compared to Jordan one way or another. You even heard the arguments in favor of Jordan: Six Rings, Six Finals MVP, a three-peat twice, 14 time all-star, 5 regular season MVPs, and blah fucking blah. Too much attention is paid to Jordan and his stacked squad with two fellow Hall of Famers, a Hall of Fame Coach, and the shortest and lowest road to the Finals.
The more compelling story is one of failure, followed by a perpetual narrative of beating cynicism. He can't win a championship. He created all these super teams. Jordan never asked to play with Larry Bird?
Let's dissect the super team argument. Take away MJ from all his NBA Finals team against a Lebronless Cavs or Heat team, what do you get?
[Pippen stood tall without Jordan in 1993-94 | Chicago Bulls]The Bulls would route the Cavs or Heat. They had Phil Jackson and a deep bench. Plus who did Jordan go against: An old, outdated showtiiiime (notice how slow that was) Lakers, Portland Trailblazers with Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter (#WhoIsPorter), Charles Barkley and Jeff *Yawning* Hornecek, Tim Porter *tuck in my blanket plz*, missed out on Hakeem Olajuwon twice !!!, Gary Payton and Shawn Kempt, the Mailman and John Stockton.
Lebron's adversaries. A more talented Eastern Conference. A stacked Boston Celtics, emerging Derrick Rose, and the scrappy Indiana Pacers. Finals Wise Jordan's road is more clear than Lebron's.
Lebron went up against the Spurs three times. All Spurs teams had a Hall of Coach, two Hall of Fame players with an added all stars. Lebron had only D-Wade in his latter years, spare parts in 2007 and 2015, Mario Fucking Chalmers, a first year coach in 2016. Players usually fail under mediocre coaching: Westbrook, Malone, Stockton, Howard, Harding, Durrant, and Barkley as examples. Not the GOAT.
Jordan's biggest threat: The Seattle Supersonics, Bad Boys, Celtics in the 80s, Showtime in realtime, and Utah Jazz.
[Jalen Rose Reportedly Claims Michael Jordan's 'Flu Game' Was a Hangover Game]Lebron's biggest threat: An incompetent front office for seven years, the Big Three in Boston, the Big Three in San Antonio, the Big Three in OKC, Big Three in Golden State with the deadliest shooter of all time *THE BEST DAMN REGULAR SEASON TEAM OF ALL TIME MIND YOU* (The Big Four).
Lebron takes care of his body more than any other athlete before him,logged more minutes than most stars ever had, longer career, took more shit from fans and media, worked with more front office responsibility post-2014 than any star before him. James is a better post-player,rebounder, and passer than Jordan
[Warriors best regular season sports team ever?]I know what you're saying:
But Clint MJ won 6 NBA Finals, 6 Finals MVP, and three-peated twice? I got three words for you: Bill Fucking Russel. Derick Fucking Fisher. Russell and Fisher have 10 and 7 rings respectably. Russel played in the Eastern Conference when there where only 5 teams. In Russel's day, players bagged groceries in the off-season to make a living. Coaches were responsible driving the team bus, counseling players when they were dope sick and other general management duties.
[Horace Grant tells story of Michael Jordan punching a teammate]Jordan never had to make a decision. Lebron never punched a player in the face (even thought Delonte West may have done what?). Jordan's flu game may be a hangover game.Lebron went through at least five head coaches. Most childhood stars; Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, and Kwame Brown flame out in their late 20s. Lebron extended his career after a sufficient diet.
We don't compare superteams and wanna be supper teams. Boston Celtics 2008; LA Lakers with Howard ,Bryant and Nash; New York Knicks with D Rose, Noah, Anthony; and a seven foot Latavian sharp shooter; and the San Antonio Spurs with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, best defender in the league Kwahi Leonard.
Jordan owns a team that went to how many playoffs? Lebron is shadow GM. ghost writing David Griffens Trade. Jordan is gambling, drinking, golfing in the summer time, screwing up the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats. Meanwhile Lebron got rid of the number one draft picks, Andrew Wiggins and sleep deprived Anthony Bennet, for Kevin Love. Considering Love's defense against Curry in game 7, that bet paid off.
[Kevin Love GAMESAVING LOCKDOWN defense on Stephen Curry |NBA FINALS GAME 7 2016|]So all hail the King, GM, superhuman, ever so present, and the Chosen One Lebron James. Not convinced here are five more reasons for you.
