He lost to them for 2 straight years until he beat them and went on to beat the Lakers for his first Championship.Did he not just beat them once and lost the other times?

Yeh, but people keep claiming that LeBron is the perfect teammate and the ultimate player and yet he has never made his team as good as the Bulls or the Warriors despite handpicking his teammates along with 2 other superstars.For feck sakes, I'm not arguing that Jordan is inferior to LeBron. (Although let's not pretend like Pippen and Rodman were mediocre)
I'm saying that, saying "LeBron couldn't get it done against Curry" is an asinine statement.
I'm not saying he left because of the Houston Rockets. I don't think it's a given that his record would have been 8-0 if he stayed in the league, primarily because the Bulls had no answer for Olajuwon. Even if he did lose in the finals, it wouldn't take away from the player he was.There’s always gonna be the gambling theory... but there were a lot of things that went into him playing baseball then. I really don’t believe one of them was the Houston Rockets.
I don't know he's the perfect teammate or the ultimate player. He has flaws in his game as well.Yeh, but people keep claiming that LeBron is the perfect teammate and the ultimate player and yet he has never made his team as good as the Bulls or the Warriors despite handpicking his teammates along with 2 other superstars.
I've seen how much every players needed to sacrifice while playing to LeBron and I honestly can't get my head over how people keeps claiming that LeBron was always hamstrung by his teammates whenever they lose while giving him all the credit for their championships.
A better debate would be LeBron vs Kobe... I think that would mirror the spirit this thread was made in. If you think you've seen enough references to "clutch"... wait until that thread is made. My goodness.Someone needs to pick Lebron, just to make the poll credible.
For me it's easily Lebron. And I would pick O'Neal over Kobe but that's debatable.A better debate would be LeBron vs Kobe... I think that would mirror the spirit this thread was made in.
Yep - completely agree - he won the scoring title 10 times whilst also being the best defender in the league - and was able to score all those points whilst also being primarily responsible for shutting down the other team's best scorer.@swooshboy @elmo
And don’t forget that he not only shut down Kukoc, but he also shut down Marciulionis, too... and got mad at Drexler for not doing the same.
MJ’s tenacity on the defensive side of the ball was unreal, and in my opinion is one of the things that really sets him apart from James as a player.
You most certainly are not.Can someone please tell @Casanova85 that I'm not a Warriors fan? @Sarni or @charlton66 probably.
He wasn't. He's also expressed doubt that the first iteration of the Bulls team could make it past Olajuwon and the Rockets. They were that good.
Glad to help.Someone needs to pick Lebron, just to make the poll credible.
What
What is wrong with you? Picking Lebron over Jordan.Glad to help.
Poll needed some credibility.What is wrong with you? Picking Lebron over Jordan.
He is a forward but can handle the ball like a PG. score low in the post. make jumpers and threes, Score, assist, Rebound, and athletically in absolute beast.Based on what?
He had the mentality that if he scored 0 points all game you were not scoring that game either and I love that.@swooshboy @elmo
And don’t forget that he not only shut down Kukoc, but he also shut down Marciulionis, too... and got mad at Drexler for not doing the same.

MJ. He's possibly the best perimeter 1v1 defender in league history.WHO would win in a 1 v 1 MJ or LBJ?
I would pay a pretty fee to watch Prime MJ vs Prime LebronMJ. He's possibly the best perimeter 1v1 defender in league history.
MJ is up there for sure, but I think Pippen and Payton were better defenders on the perimeter.MJ. He's possibly the best perimeter 1v1 defender in league history.
I think that second one is actually true.My uncle will go to his grave believing that MJ got run out the league the first time by Stern because of gambling problems.
He also thinks the Flu game wasn't a flu, but a hangover.
Pretty sure that’s the case as well.My uncle will go to his grave believing that MJ got run out the league the first time by Stern because of gambling problems.
He also thinks the Flu game wasn't a flu, but a hangover.
I loved watching Pippen play! An incredible defender and all around player.MJ is up there for sure, but I think Pippen and Payton were better defenders on the perimeter.
MJ simply had a will to win that only the best across all sports have ever had. I can't see prime MJ losing against anybody honestly. He would lose 1 day, practice 24 hours and come back and win the next.I would pay a pretty fee to watch Prime MJ vs Prime Lebron
If they did multiple games I can see them trading wins because Lebron also is bigger and stronger then MJ and can bully his way into the hole.
I love that mentality about MJ. GOAT mentality.MJ simply had a will to win that only the best across all sports have ever had. I can't see prime MJ losing against anybody honestly. He would lose 1 day, practice 24 hours and come back and win the next.
MJ said that as well.The only one who would beat prime mj one on one is Kobe but that's because he stole all his moves.
Stop stalking me. Find a hobby.wild that casanova has bad opinions in every single thread
As in Elvis Presley?Elvis and Michael Jordan play in a whole different league.
MJ was the Elvis of american sport.As in Elvis Presley?
Probably the worst take I have read on here in a long time and I'm one of those lunatics who take a glimpse in the ronaldo vs messi thread from time to time.Your precious Warriors would lose every final vs 99-14 Spurs.
Strong words from a Rostock/Bradford fan.Probably the worst take I have read on here in a long time and I'm one of those lunatics who take a glimpse in the ronaldo vs messi thread from time to time.
What is that supposed to mean?Strong words from a Rostock/Bradford fan.
