" well well…i’m gonna repeat myself from previous fridays…but wth. First lest start by (as you said) saying it’s apples and oranges since they do not play at the same position…It would be like asking “who was better Oscar Robertson or Kareem?”….pointless. I will just add 3 points on which MJ was clearly superior for the history of the game: – The era on which he dominated the game: As I’ve said for a couple weeks, MJ owned the game when it was a man sport, not one for sissies as it is today with the rules. Most players today would go crying to their moms if they had to face teams like the Bad Boys. Today, no handchecks, or if you are hard fouled on mid-air it’s a flagrant….when MJ was fouled on mid air it was a “get up b**ch”. – He built his legend around one team, the Bulls, the team was created around him out of nothing, either by drafts or trades, he had patience on this building process, it took him 8 years to get a ring. Lebron on the other hand….we know what he did. – the drive to win and the love for the game, the same Michael said himslef “Plenty of people save money for who knows how long to come see me play, and lots of them probably won’t be able to see me play again…it would be disrespectful if I don’t play hard every single night”…that drive is what fueled those amazing 63 points game, or the flu game, or those game winning shots…..Miami on the other hand, starts resting his players weeks before playoffs starts. Hell, the only player I’ve seen with that drive & motor and who could say was “closer” to MJ was Kobe…and even the guy who coached them both says MJ was better. " --erudain (nba-live)
