[@nyknicks5934]

Dumisa Tony Johnson I agree 100% with your comment. There will NOT be another Basketball Player greater or the same as Michael Jordan just for one simple reason Basketball is not the same as before.. I laugh every time people say LeBron is better than Michael Jordan, that’s just crazy talk, I can compare LeBron to Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson or even Tim Duncan but Michael Jordan is just insane... MJ is always gonna be one or two steps above all of them.

[@kevinwheesysouthward9295]

Right? That’s what kids today don’t understand. I witnessed Jordan’s entire career. I’ve seen all of LeBron’s, to this point. The things Jordan did, didn’t even make sense. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. LeBron is amazing too but when I watch him, it makes sense. He’s big, fast, and strong and he does big, fast, strong things. He’s great but Jordan was super human.

Everybody wants to take the last shot now because that's what MJ did. MJ did it because he truly believed he was the best chance his team had to win, he wasn't imitating anyone.

Neil Howard Bobby Knight, who'd coached MJ at the '84 Olympic trials, urged Blazers GM Stu Inman (an old pal) to take Jordan. Inman said, "But we need a center." Knight yelled back, "So play him at center!" Inman didn't listen, and the result is a jaw-dropping scene.

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

In terms of playing style and agility on the court, and being able to take over the game the way they did.. Very similar. Both great defenders as well. No it's not nonsensical. MJ is number one, period. But they are similar ball players. Comparing Lebron to MJ is nonsenical.

What makes Michael Jordan so great is that his competitiveness and his willingness... we seen a lot of teams in the NBA titles and there's a lot of vacations we're a team when's the title is in the Fallen year they don't win another title and still have the same players are there times where they don't even go back to the playoffs... we have seen James like Boston Celtics won a lot of titles in the 60s and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 80s and you had Houston and the Denver went back to back and I'm sure there are other teams..... but to do it three times and win three times is Simply Amazing there's only Los Angeles Lakers Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls I believe the only teams to do a 3p.. I believe in my own opinion is that one of the hardest challenges and Sports in general is to defend your title.. yes you are very excellent team to win a title but how good are you to defend your title.. we have seen teams wear they don't have the same passion and Fire because they already won a title and they will go down in history.. Michael Jordan never lost his competitiveness and his passion as well as his holiness and you made it huge influence on the Chicago Bulls and players are around him where Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr as well as others that have the same passion and he did a 3-peat twice..... Michael Jordan works just as as hard when he first started playing basketball and I think well it's a very inspiring story because you and feel the same way about life in general....... climbing the mountain and make it to the top is one thing even though it's a really huge accomplishment on itself but but to stay on top where they painted their target on their back and teams and people are not there to kiss the Rings. they're there to knock you off the mountain so they want a chance to be on top and to stay on top

I'll tell anyone that has any doubts about Mike to watch him on the wizard's. Old man competing against young bucks and man was he awesome. Sure he lost his consistently cuz he was 40 lol But he still had some great moments and games. And to see how smart he was at that point. In some ways that was the best MJ because of all his experience. Truly amazing to watch MJ play. His Jump shot work ethic and will to win and determination to be the very best and care about defense and fans and teammates. Pretty easy to say MJ is my favorite athlete and what every young kid should aspire to be.
