1) cause he always complains like a baby?
2) cause he always flops?
3) cause he is the best player ever and we rather MJ keep that title?


This should be a poll but I'm on my cell so no thanks

If anyone can find the Nick Wright segment on the Colin Cowherd show from about a week ago, he makes a very compelling case in favor of Lebron over MJ....

Lebron is best ever imo. Dont understand the hate. Guy is never in trouble off the court, and dominating on the court. Because he argues or flops sometimes? Jordan cried also.

I don't hate him, just not crazy about him and despite his achievements don't think he is worth comparing to MJ and the greats.
Most importantly, he never made me any money. I always seem to lose whether I play for or against.

The Decision show on ESPN caused all his problems. Never saw MJ or any of the greats do that.

Lebron seems so much more friendly too. I guess the decision made him a villain but outside of that I really don't get the hate. I think a lot of the hate is just jordan love

Lebron always, early on at least, came off to me as fake...or caring to much what others say...in an Alex Rodriguez sort of way. And then the Decision happened. My problem with the Decision was he was dubbed the "King", "King James"...and he went to another man's team to win. He could "abandoned" Cleveland and went to NY and I don't think my hatred would have grown because that would have been him being the "King" on the biggest stage on a team without a king. And the Jordan comparisons annoyed the shit out of me, because Lebron didn't have the killer instinct...like Jordan, or Kobe...or Westbrook now.

Regardless...he is a freak and a ridiculous basketball player and I think he's developed the killer instinct, but it's not on display as frequently as Jordan used it...and that annoys me, but I understand saving the body for when it matters. He's the most dominant player now and a more physically dominant player than Jordan, but I still don't think he's better than Jordan. My gauge is gun to my head, one guy to hit the shot or to lean on in the crunch...and I'm taking prime Jordan, over everybody everytime.

I want to like Lebron...but I think it's been too long now. Bob Ryan put it best: Jordan had to learn to share to win, Lebron had to learn to dominate to win. He's there now. Buuuttt...it's still Jordan in my mind. And I'll be rooting for the Warriors in the finals.

Kelly olynik is so garbage I don't care if he scored 100 pts vs the wizards. I would put Marcus smart on lebron honestly. Best chance you have out of any of these guys. Kelly olynik is who you choose tho as Lebron just laughs in his face while scoring on him

The decision thing hurt him perception wise.....but his greatness cannot be denied. They will probably lose to golden st, if gold st doesn't turn the ball over as much as they have lately, but gold st has 4 all star.....so it will be tough but Lebron is best player and it's really not close

Its very close.....I'd take Lebron but I understand why others would take Jordan.....I think even most Lebron haters have to admit if he's not 1st, he's 2nd
