Why do many NBA fans who liked jordon fail to acknowledge that Lebron will be better than him?

Even Michael Jordan himself said that at this age of 22 lebron is better than him in every aspect of the game even shooting. Lebron James had less talent around him than michael jordan when he first played in an nba finals. Lebron James is playing tougher competition than jordan did. Right now in the NBA there are always 4-5 teams in the west that can win it and 2-3 teams in the east that can win the nba finals. Maybe the only team that jordan played who had a chance to beat them was barkley suns and malone jazz in 1998.|||Umm... Does it really matter? Whatever happened to wait and see? I am pretty sure that is why they play the games in the first place.





It's unlikely that Jordan would have been as successful as Lebron has been if he left after his 2nd year in college as opposed to his 3rd year. Still, Mike was a handful and NO ONE stopped him besides Father Time, (he's the best defender I've ever seen in the long run).





People's "opinions" DO NOT MATTER. Not mine and not yours either. ANY TIME someone offers an "opinion" on here they are pretty much violating the rules of Yahoo! Answers. Then again, most questions about basketball are subjective.





THAT IS WHY GAMBLING EXISTS! That way Loud Mouths can put their money where their mouths are. I used to gamble on basketball and I did quite well thank you. Once I got my system down I NEVER lost! I either broke even or made money EVERY TIME and NO I won't teach you my secrets. I will tell you it requires OBJECTIVITY and NOT OPINIONS.





From your scrilla clockin', snitchin' out terrible questions homeboy "Basketball Cop" a.k.a resonatingfrequency|||No Doubt LeBron is a good player but saying he will be better then Jordan is taking it too far...|||You might have kinda of a point there but I disagree with you when you say LeBron is playing tougher competition. Every team in the east has sucked the last couple of years.|||Just like they failed to ack Kobe.|||Dont forget the bad boy pistons, and the Bird Celtic teams that haunted Jordan early on in his career; those were truly great teams. To say competition is off as well, the international talent pool has been ballanced out through expansion. Lebron is obviously a better physical specimen athletically, however MJ was a better scorer, and a top notch defender. Yeah, Jordan had better supporting cast, and lord knows the refs (thanks to D-Stern) gave him every call they could. But let LeBron win a couple titles first before we put him ahead of MJ.|||you are feeble. cannot you generate a thought that people can respond to? this doesn't qualify as a question. just an absurd statement that suggests nothing. by informing you of your failure i should get the full 10 points.|||HAHAH U MAKE ME LAUGH ...THE QUEEN PLAY IN TOUGHER COMPETITION HES ON THE EASTERN CONFERENCE U IDIOT, ..LBJ PLAY IN THE WEAKEST DIVISION AND HORRIBLE EAST ... IF LBJ FACING BOSTON TEAM OR CHICAGO EVEN MIAMI IN 1ST ROUND THIS YEAR I GAURANTEE THE EARLY EXIT HAHAHA|||BECAUSE HE'LL NEVER EVER BE. HOW OLD ARE YOU? BE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR BASKETBALL HISTORY BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CONCLUSION. THIS ISSUE IS BEYOND STATS AND THINGS THAT ARE SEEN. IT'S ABOUT KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE OF THE GAME.|||probably if lebron keeps progressing through his game and gets rings cuz thats what its all about he has to win multiple mvps so im not sold on lebron being better than jordan oh yah don't forget the lakers,blazers,pistons, and the celtics they were really good franchises too|||Lebron is a great player, but he cannot be compared to MJ yet. It shouldn't even be a question for another 13 or 14 years. To say that Lebron is better now is outrageous. He did get his team to the finals in his third season, but seriously Michael Jordan was the greatest player to ever play the game. I really think that you are just a huge Lebron fan that wasn't around when MJ was in his prime, and maybe doesn't know the accomplishments of the real champion.|||First I must ask who Jordon is? I looked him up in the NBA register and there's no match. No Jordon has ever played in the NBA.|||Because he won't|||theres no comparison really. lebron is a great player %26amp; is atheletic but to be better than jordan he has to be like jordan first %26amp; then improvise so first he needs a couple of mvps, wins %26amp; then only can he match/come close to jordan.


LBJ23 ROXX|||Lebron will not be as effective a player as Jordan was later on in his career. He simply relies too much on his athletic ability ( and traveling ) and isn't as fundamentally sound. Jordan beat a tough 90's Eastern conference as well. Lebron at age 30? I'll be surprised if he averages more than 20 ppg.|||Just read this

Until the day comes when Lebron beatz this then i guess its safe to say Lebron Is the NEW MJ...until then Michael Jordon is the World's Best BasketBall Player. A legend for Decades to Come.
