Yeah, I thought so.

He's better than all those guys clearly, except for Jordan and Kareem. You can make an argument for those two. And rings do not make you superior. And if you think it does, you're insane.
Wade has 2 rings, he better than Oscar Robertson?
Lebron is better at shooting range and he is much better defender. You don't have to hide Lebron and put Pippen on the best offensive player. Lebron is a great defender from 1-4 and can spot defend at center. MJ could only guard three positions. the King
Its not slim, imo. JOrdan could guard 1-3 better than Lebron can. Lebron is not in the on the ball defending class of a Jordan. People trying to force that.Finally, someone arguing something I said. I could give you Jordan slightly better defensively but the margin isn't anything significant. Lebron can completely shutdown almost anyone.
doesnt have the mental make-up, plenty of players had the talent. shyt TMac couldve been the goat. Keyword couldve as in its not reality.Lets be honest....there are always going to be a lot of people that will never accept the possibility of someone surpassing Jordan. Jordan is the biggest/most popular athlete of all time. His prime was absurd. The 90's decade creates more internet nostalgia than any other era combined.
Then again, I doubt any one ever expected a 6'8 270 pound player with Jordan's athleticism and Magic's passing ability either.
There's no shame in admitting Lebron could become the best ever. He sure as hell has the talent.

Pippen was a better defender, but it wasnt hiding. It was because Jordan was needed on offense.
And Lebron was having problems with David West against Indiana and he cannot guard point guards. Jordan is a better on the ball defender than Bron.

In saying that, Bron could def be better than Jordan. Lets let this all play out tho. And no, Bron doesnt have to win 6 rings to show that for me.
What was Jordan's "mental makeup" pre 28 years old?
no he's not. The object of the game is to win And from a career standpoint, he hasnt dont that more consistently than Kobe, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, or Duncan. Get over it. Theyve had better careers period. If that wasnt the case Bron would never went to Miami. Youre out of your mind if you think a 1 ring LeBron is comparable to any of those cats career wise.
