The worst part of all this is a bunch of millennials coming on here trying to downplay almost every aspect of Jordan’s game to put Lebron on top. Acting like he’s better since he’s a 0.5% better shooter (omg!), rebounder, and assists guy while downplaying Jordan’s defense, and tryin to make it like his team made him better than he was. Y’all stop. Just stop. Go take an objective look at the stats (like the fact that Jordan has better playoff shooting percentages), watch the tape (not just a 2 min highlight reel), take a deep breath, realize we’re comparing a shooting guard to a point forward, and then tell us what you think.

I’ve only seen Lebron do in one playoff what I saw Jordan do six times; put the freakin team on his back and will them to victory. You millennials just can’t get past that. Until then, no argument or stat you can throw out there holds any water.

Any time you start a point off with blaming millennials, especially when you don’t actually know the age of your posters, makes you look like the old man screaming at clouds.

How dare I ask volnation’s greatest insider to talk about the topics in the appropriate forum

People like coming in here and talking sports in general. No matter if it’s the cubs, MJ/lebron, the draft etc. just scroll past it if you’re not interested in it.

Arguing with you is no different than the innocuous bs I’m trying to avoid so this will be the last time I discuss this. There is an off-topic forum and entire forums devoted to the sports you’d like to discuss. I’d rather read about football here. It’s a few link clicks away and literally the exact same thing. You can go there and discuss. Everyone wins. I don’t want to have to sift through to find something relevant to the thread title— herego the point of other forums. You’re not a mod. “Just scroll through if you’re not interested” is the reason why a lot of good posters don’t post anymore. I shouldn’t have to scroll past and have a search party to find something I actually came here to read in the first place.

Meanwhile David Swaby is official visiting this weekend per VQ

What I read about him that Ron posted was encouraging. Sounds like he will listen to mom and family. CJP and especially Will Friend should be able to outshine anything Ole Miss throws at him if he chooses to take that visit.

Looks like a late bloomer in the classroom and he definitely has the body for the position with a good HS background. 4 to play 3 is also good.

Remember that time la bron guarded the mavericks best bench player, Jason Terry, for nearly the entire finals and got abused. I mean Jason Terry thoroughly outplayed la bron the entire series. That's the difference. Jordan had no series like that. Even when he was losing in the playoffs he was still unstoppable. You really can't find a single playoff game for Jordan where he was bad. La bron had an 8 point game that series.

Stats only matter with context though. Lebron has played on inferior teams compared to Jordan. The night the Cavs came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the warriors was the night Lebron became the GOAT. That warriors team is better than anything Jordan saw

If you weren’t alive or old enough to watch basketball during that time, how in the world can you say Jordan never faced great teams??

Lebron is elite but he's not MJ. And like Ziti and others have pointed out, it's much more than the stats too. For those of us who watched both careers its clear as day that Lebron isn't on the same level with mental toughness and other immeasurable intangibles. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. PERIOD. Lebron is on his way to 2nd place, that's a damn good place to be.

If you could somehow take MJ's mental makeup and put it in Lebron's body that would be something to see, I wouldn't miss a game.
