this, people forget that LeBron, at 23 years old, was in the Finals.
he single handedly took a bunch of D-League players to the Finals and lost.
what Bron is doing right now, is better than anything Jordan and Kobe have ever done.
if Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan ever had a baby, and that baby got pregnant by Karl Malone, and that baby got pregnant by Magic (pre AIDS), that baby would be LeBron.
at 6'8" 260lbs, he's doing things that even Jordan/Kobe are jealous of.
when Jordan and Kobe agressively go to the rack on a fastbreak, who can stop them !?!? pretty much anyone in the league that can jump and make contact, because they're toddlers in size compared to Bron.
when LeBron gets out on a fastbreak with a full head of steam, everyone clears out - even Karl Malone would get pummeled standing in front of Bron. hell, Bron weighs as much or MORE than Malone in his prime.
pfffft, Jordan was an athletic kid in his prime and there was never anyone like him up until that era, but he never had the size and power of Bron.
we are watcvhing a legend in the making - there will never be another 6'8" 260lb basketball player that is faster than Jordan, as powerful in the paint as Shaq and Barkley, can pass like Magic and that can score literally at will against anyone.
Jordan couldn't pass like Bron, he couldn't rebound like Bron and he couldn't shoot 3's like Bron.
and get this - for the last 7 years Bron's FG% has gotten better EVERY SINGLE YEAR !!!!!
so, in short, from the field and from behind the 3pt line, Bron is still a better player...
Bron can get to the basket better because of his quicks and size...Jordan was a child at only 195lbs compared to Bron's 260+.
one thing that Jordan does better than Bron is defense - Jordan was an animal on defense.
Jordan didn't start winning championships until there were multiple all-stars surrounding him on the floor - remind you of anyone ??
again, Bron made his first finals appearence when he was 23 years old - and his team consisted of roll players and a fan that won a Cavaliers contest during one of the halftime games....
Bron can play every position on the floor, and ghas on several occasions.
Jordan could play 2 positions at best, because he was limited by his size and athletic ability - i would have never ever thought i'd say that Jordan was limited by his athletic ability, but when you compare him to bron, that statement is 100% legit.
