Is LeBron Jame$ the Best Player Since Michael Jordan? (First Take Debate) (video)

Hard to say. Two Four in his prime had that same k!ller instinct Mike had but he wasn't as much as a natural talent as Lebron. Neither of them compare to Mike for what Skip said though. Mike went through the Bad Boys, Larry's Celtics & Magic's Lakers. Neither of them have had those types of road blocks...

we never seen anything like LBJ in a way he is in a league of his own i agree with that. but i cant !! with 1st take AT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO LBJ because u have one old white man who is as bias as they come who will just go out of his way to discredit and hate for shock jock. 2 u have screaming A who has took on the role of shock jock to so all they want to do is discredit LBJ. Watch if LBJ wins a ring all they gonna say is go get 4 more now or u got 1 now u need 2 not 3 not 4 not 5 bla bla bla . These guys are in the biz of discrediting like they ever done anything close to what a player could ever do. So i hear nothing when these two of all ppl talk about LBJ

Allen Iverson with no rings > LeBron with no ring

If Bron led the cavs to the Finals or atleast a the playoffs in his first 2 years then maybe but Kobe got them 2 years and maybe 2-3 years after that then Bron took over from then to now

What. about. Shaquille O'Neal. Or. Hakeem Olajuwon. did those guys fall off the face off the earth after jordan left

No..................

Love the point Stephen A made about Lebron trying to est@blish a name for himself while he's in the game, and that's what people hate about him. He seems too business savy and not on winning. That's not a problem for me, but with some people it is.

I know one thing though

Kobe or Jordan couldn't win a ship with Moe Williams and Larry Hughes as their sidekicks, and I feel Lebron on going to Miami. If he didn't he would have just rotted in Cleveland, ringless, with no help , because noone wants to come to Cleveland.

He means since Jordan retired.

1.LeBron
2.Shaq(if Shaq could have stayed healthy and in shape, he'd be the GOAT)
3.Duncan
4.Kobe

jordan in his prime = MVP awards and deep postseason runs

as a player, kobe cant compare [pic]

kobe in his prime = winning championships. that was one series

Nope, lacking in clutch gene. Great player, but not better than KB, KD, AI, DW etc etc. [pic]

why is screaming A mad because ppl think LBJ is dope weather he wins a ring or not . They act like the way they think is the only way to think. and make it seem like MJ always won and always won rings every !!ing Year and that not true . MJ wouldn't even make if he was in the league today cant even argue with these two when it comes to LBJ way to bias

05-09-2012, 12:45 PM

hold on...so he is better than Duncan? !! outta here

but still, Hakeem and Jordan came thru the same draft class, and he retired later than jordan, has two rings, and is the only player to be top 10 all time in 4 categories when he left the game, only MVP, Finals MVP, and DPOY in same season, I mean the list goes on and on, and the Competition he played against at his position too?

I understand TS made a legitimate spinoff thread from First Take but I will reiterate my sentiments from last nights game thread. If Lebron James does not win the NBA Championship this year I'm going directly @ TS something serious.
