Jordan is probably the best scorer to ever play but I may go as far to say LeBron is the best player to ever play the game..

Sometimes people like Pippen say things to be in the spotlight, unless he is arrainged on murder charges, would Pippen even make the news anymore, but this is a debate that will bring every ESPN douche out of the woodwork.

It already has. Skip Bayless has already said that Jordan has 100 times the heart but that Lebron does have a better skill set. And I may not disagree with that.

He showed up last nite and that was very impressive, he needed to have that kind of a 'clutch' performance..Seems like defense isn't factored in enough though in these debates..which may not be 50 percent of the game... but 25 to 30 percent atleast. Hard to say who the best ever, dont think theres much of a margin difference between who's considered the top 25 players ever...fun to discuss though

Pippen would not even had been able to sniff the HOF if is wasn't for MJ.......thats just like Freddie Solomon saying Brett Farve is the greatest of all time. What a joke Pippen is.

I hate to say it, but I agree with him. Not a more complete player in the history of basketball.
Now Jordan is more accomplished, and if Lebron had a career ending injury tommorow Jordan would have go down as the better player by quite a large margin.

But If L J has another six or seven years at his current level with 3 or 4 titles he has to be considered the greatest ever.
LJ is just a monster.

I dont think people understand just how bad that Cleveland team was that he kept carrying to the Eastern Conference finals and the NBA finals year after year.

You cant compare the supporting cast that Lebron had to the cast Jordan had.

I will even say that Lebron's current team player for player is not even as good as those bulls teams of the 90's.

Was the Bulls teams of the 90's minus Jordan an all-time great cast? NO

But they were very very good. Crumbs did a great job putting the perfect supporting cast around Jordan.

I dont think I have ever seen a better defensive player then Lebron.
When he wants to shut you down, its game over.

Blah Blah Blah... Yeah, Lebron is great, but to post some shit like this and say IF he gets 3 or 4 titles. Well he hasn't, and even if he does get 3 titles
he still only has 1/2 the rings Jordan has.

The point being, why bother to compare the two and then say if if if. Well, let's wait until he gets 3-4 rings and then maybe we can start talking.

Seems like wasted breath to talk about it at this point.

And... I'm a big Lebron fan, and think he's the best player in the NBA right now.

If he played PG alone, he would average DD in assists. He can see the floor and his ability to see the play before it happens makes him great.

Your talking about a player that would be a 1st round draft pick in every single major sport if he took the sport seriously.
