Nah not at all
Well of course you're going to say that lol. I'd take your opinion more seriously if you were more objective. Or any one else's for that matter.

We'll see whose right in 5 years. Then you can come back at it.


Jordan had no rival player.

Lebron has/had rivals.....KD, Melo and Kobe. He may be better than them this season but with the other guys, people could realistically expect them to win the MVPs and win the title with Jordan there was none of that.

Not saying LeBron is Jordan like, but the way you can compare LeBron now to the rest of the league is Jordan like. That's how much better he is than anyone else. That's what's Jordan like. It's 90s Jordan all over again.

That's only happening because of the cheat code team he put around himself. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. It's not the same thing

For all we know lebron couldn't win with just a legit 2 like pippen, or Pau and role players. The bulls weren't out of this world stacked until the second 3peat.

The reason lebron has gotten so much better and efficient is because of the amazing all time team he has around him. It's not a coincidence. The man got up and told everybody that it was gonna be easy. And now people are acting surprised.

Jordan had no Rivals?

So Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, etc weren't his rivals? If you consider Melo and Kobe a rival to LeBron, then you have to consider Magic or Charles.

You can't be serious saying "Michael had no rivals". Thats flat out dumb. Jordan had rivals but he was that much better then them, the same way LeBron has rivals now and he's that much better.

I agree that in comparison Lebron is better than everyone else in the league which is "Jordan-Like", but people forget that KD isn't that far away. In this case, perception really isn't the reality.

I honestly believe that if that 22-game winning streak never happened, KD or CP3 would've had a legit shot at MVP. Lebrons team really makes him look a lot better.

To be fair, KD's team is pretty stacked too :lol

It was a 27 game win streak. And go look at what Lebrun averaged this year. He shot 57%. That's just ridiculously good.
 

Not having similar rivals at the same position is not the same as not having rivals period.

Shaq, Hakeem, DRob, Malone, Stockton, GP, etc etc. If anything his rivals were even better top to bottom than what Lebron sees nowadays.

None of those guys were his rival though

The Hell are you talking about? Are you on Meth or something? This is single handily the STUPIDEST comment i've EVER read on NikeTalk. Period.

I don't understand how you're fandom for Lebron can convolute rational thinking. Or do you honestly believe Jordan played with high school players or something? Charles Barkley, David Robinson and Karl Malone won MVP's during MJ's time and many many people will argue that MJ was robbed all those times as well. No rivals? Yeah, right :lol

Isaiah Thomas, Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Starks and the entire 90's Knicks etc etc. Yeah, MJ had no rivals alright :lol

The 90's was no damn cake way by the imagination. MJ was just THAT dominate to have single handily taken over an entire decade. So much so that it makes dumbasses like you believe his competition was weak. I've been lucky enough to watch MJ in his prime, so I can honestly say how dominate the man was. Dude was filthy. You guys think Lebron is a beast? Try living in the moment and watching MJ just single handily destroy the other team. At least going against Lebron you think your team has a chance. With MJ you know deep down inside it's over before it even started.

I'll even go as far as to say that I think Lebron isn't mentally "there" yet. But that's a discussion for another topic.

Honestly, bro--It's people like you that make Heat/Lebron fans look bad. Seriously.

:lol for real. Nowadays you got guys like Luol Deng and Brook Lopez making the all-star team and all-NBA teams. Dudes would be benchwarmers on some teams in the 90s :lol that's how stacked it was compared to now
 
Always comical seeing which posters didnt get to watch MJ play. Guy really said Jordan had No rivals :lol Someone needs to go tell Barkley, he was never Jordans rival :{

They would? Interesting.

And I think y'all are taking the "he had no rivals" thing differently than what the posted intended to relay, but I could be wrong.

We are talking about during Jordan's championship runs. 91-98.

No one at the beginning of the season said Charles Barkley or Patrick Ewing is better than Jordan and he's going to take over the crown as best player in the league.

No one

To say so is pure revisionist history

People write articles about Lebron and KD's rivalary and before that people wrote about his rivalry with Kobe.

People weren't writing articles about Jordan having a personal rival during those runs.

You ever hear the term this person is "Michael Jordan of Football, Golf etc etc"?

The reason why they'd say that is because Michael Jordan was so dominant it was just him alone as best player in sport for a long period of time.

No one is saying that about Lebron's recent dominance.

You say Im not objective

Dude you're not objective about your love of Lebron either

You're just smooth about your fandom of Lebron and all things Heat. :lol
