I do agree that the gap isn't HUGE, but it's still significant.

No player but him has ever done that. MJ couldn't even come close those stats.
There is a reason for that. Michael didn't jump ship to win a championship. He stayed on the Bulls and make everyone around him better [Reply]

No he quit the sport all together in his prime and went to play baseball [Reply]
:-) you dumb ass of course Laimbeer says that he hates Mike and da Bulls. For every one link you find like this I can give you 20 that say it's MJ.
Is this really the road you want to go down? [Reply]
Lebron isn't the natural scorer mj was. Lebron is a more physical presence and all around game is probably better than mj, but mj was no defensive slouch [Reply]
Cavs went from a 62 win team with LeBron to a 19 win team without. He made that team better, just didn't have the sidekick to win a championship in Cleveland. Which every NBA championship team has. [Reply]
When MJ comes up it's all about the 6 rings. That's the main arguement. That can't mean you are automatically the best ever. Bill Russell has 11 total. Is he the best ever? [Reply]

Lebron is the greatest athlete to ever play the game
MJ is the greatest basketball player to ever play the game [Reply]
