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.
Listen dude, your not a fan of LeBron, I'm not a fan of LeBron. I still think he's a punk for going to Miami, I still think he took the easiest way out. I was campaigning for Chris Paul to be MVP in January/Feb. That changed tho.
But the difference between me and you is I'm not going to sit here an try to come up with a delusional reasons to why he isn't what he is. LeBron is the best player in the planet, he's becoming what Jordan was in the 90's. Once again, what I mean by that is - he's that much better than his competition.
Sure you can compare KD to LeBron, maybe one day he will be better, since he has more time left. But won't be anytime soon bro. That could be 4-5 years or more away.
But dude, you said Michael had no Rivals. How can anyone take you serious? You're not objective at all when it comes to LeBron. You stay here diminishing everything he does. Why can't you just accept it?
I never understood that about people who hate other players, you're disrespting the game if basketball if you just sit there, and diminish how great they are. That goes for the Kobe haters, LeBron haters, all the dudes who just can't accept someone's greatness. It amazes me.
Ok you're not a Lebron/Heat just like Bill O'Reilly isn't a Republican
You never said delusional stuff? Really?
I remember I said its going to really hard for the Heat to be a lock for championships past the 2014 season because of the CBA and players aging.
I even showed you articles with NBA sources that it's a strong possibility
But you scoffed at it.
You basically said its impossible and that Arison is just going to lose massive amounts of money indefinitely and that players will always take pay cuts to come play with Lebron.
That's not a bit delusional?
Lebron is not on Jordan's level.
If after this season Lebron hung it up to play for the Miami Dolphins people aren't going to lose interest In the NBA like they did when Jordan left to play Baseball.
People were crying for Jordan to come back. Hakeem, Ewing etc etc, none of those guys filled the void.
If Lebron left, people would so sad but people would just move on to KD and Melo as not big thing.
