Phil Jackson: Lebron James can be better then Michael Jordan

[mastermind]

Yeah but you really think Wilt could avg 50 ppg, 25rebs and like 20apg now?

Hell naw!!

probably not with the zone defense. But it wouldnt be out the blue to say 30-35 points and 17-18 rebounds a game. If Dwight can do 14 a game, why cant a better player do more?

If he played today he would clearly be the most valuable and probably the best player in the league.

Who would stop him?

Wilt is not avgin 50ppg in 2012..

So we're going to play the Phil's word is gospel game again?

As for mike, he wasn't some mythological figure, anyone can be surpassed

 

[THE K-MAN]

Yeah but you really think

Hell naw!!

Wilt said in the 90's he would avg 75...

Depends on what he says and who he says it about.

Damn I remember back in the days, around 2008, when LeBron vs. Kobe was a legitimate debate.

They grow up so fast ....I'm both sad and proud.

kobe is about to win his 6th ring. like guess who? we've already witnessed MJ 2.0. what happens if kobe walks away with 7 rings. 1 more then air j?

so of course a 6'8 265lb, high jumper/trackstart/football player with handles and a decent jumper should be able to be the best the nba has ever seen. yes better then kobe, mj, etc. kobe said this years ago when lbj just got into the nba. he said WE better hurry up and win are ships before he figures it out. WE was all the older ballers that were still sitting on contending teams at that time.

no one was in denial about LBJ. IF LB gets a SERIOUS post game, learns to shoot the mid range jumper and 3 ball with confidence no matter when he's shooting it, or no matter where on the court he's shooting it. if he does those things. he will be the best player ever to me.

Of course Lebron can Pass MJ

Lebron is 27 and just won his first ring, he can win 6 more easily...


This isn't a slight at MJ this is just math.

 

[DallasTxRep]

Lebron has a legit chance....

Phil Jackson: LeBron James has 'all the physical attributes' to be better than Michael Jordan - CBSSports.com

Well duh

People have been saying Bron has the physical tools to be better than Jordan for awhile now.

What set Jordan apart was he had a perfect combination of skills, physical abilities and talent.

Since Jordan retired we've seen guys with more natural talent, guys who are more skilled and guys with way more physical gifts, but nobody has had that perfect combination that he had.

The Zen Master had an agenda with that quote - one that had a lot to do with winning playoff games and encouraging Kobe.

Nowadays he's just keeping it real.
