Jim Boeheim Used to Think Michael Jordan Was the Best Player He’s Ever Seen, But After Coaching LeBron, Boeheim’s Not So Sure Anymore | The Big Lead

He’s a leader. He gets on the court, he tells people what to do … this guy can guard five [positions] … put him on anybody, he can guard him. I always felt Michael Jordan was the best player I’ve ever seen … I didn’t think it was close … and I’m not so sure anymore … this guy is 6-9, 260 pounds and he’s getting better … I know we’ve had great, great players through the years. He’s like Magic Johnson with Michael Jordan-type skills as well.”

LeBron is coming off one of the best years in basketball history, and he only turns 28 this December. He’s just entering his prime. Forget the 1992 Dream Team vs. the 2012 Olympic Team debate … what about in a game of 1 on 1, 1992 Michael Jordan vs. 2012 LeBron James?

But in all seriousness...Lebron is the most physically gifted basketball player I have ever seen...he is impressive. Will he be GOAT? Remains to be seen but he is on the right path.

You can technically make the argument(and ive seen people do it)peak Lebron is a better "all around player"

However IMO Jordan is so much better as a complete offensive player(and as a scorer blows him out the water) that i can never say id rather have him then Mike. And Lebron doesn't have much of an advantage defensively(especially man) to make this an argument

If the lakers are lucky enough to survive the thunder then the epic match up we've been waiting for can happen next june heat vs lakers

If lebron can do what he did this past playoffs and beat 4 future hall of famers?
