He played in an era where Centers and PFs actually existed. Where a flagrant foul had to draw blood. He played in an era where teams were rolling out 5 NBA stars and their bench could have another 3 NBA starters riding it. Dude did slam dunk competition dunks in game on fast breaks.

I’m old and young enough to witness both MJ and LBJ. When it’s all said and done, LBJ will be my # 2. What MJ did was dang near super human more often than not. And he never left to chase a ring

I swear, last MJ response; ppl say well what happened in 95? MJ played 30 games and was out of shape. He said so himself. Even so, losing in 95 fueled him so much. His obsession w winning would’ve definitely carried on that run.

Its weird cause I would take MJ but if I was to start a team I would take Lebron cause he makes others better. The thing is I hate when people say he has no help when he put the team together. Jordan let Phil coach and let the GM do what they do he never messed with all that ****. Lebron kicking himself in the azzz now that hes facing a power house that did what they did because of what he did with the Heat. If I was Lebron I would just join the Warriors fuq it or take a huge pay cut and sign super stars, force there hand.

I don't know how anyone who witnessed Jordan play could ever think Lebron was better. As was said by another poster, it was a different more physical game back then. And the opponents didn't all want to be BFF's like they do today! I would love to see the Lebron play against the Great Pistons team and see how he faired against Rodman, Mahorn, Salley, and Lambeer.

We are more like Wilt.

"Just remember (Michael), when you played, they changed the rules to make it easier for you to dominate...when I played, they changed the rules to make it harder for me"

I will make a quick comment on "back then" versus "now" in the NBA.

When MJ played, you couldn't assemble a "super-team" with a bunch of guys choosing to sign with one team in free agency. To get Bill Cartwright, the Bulls had to trade CHARLES OAKLEY, not just a bunch of cap slots and dead money contracts and veteran exceptions and whatnot. The Bulls had to trade for Craig Hodges. The Bulls had to engineer a genius draft-day trade to get Scottie Pippen (Pippen was drafted before the Bulls had a chance to pick him). To get Luc Longley, the Bulls had to trade Stacey King. To get Dennis Rodman, the Bulls had to trade Will Perdue.

And the Bulls draft picks from 87-90 were amazing.

1987: Olden Polynice (draft-day trade for Scottie Pippen)
1987: Horace Grant
1988: Will Perdue (eventually traded for Dennis Rodman)
1989: Stacey King (eventually traded for Luc Longley)
1989: BJ Armstrong
1990: Toni Kukoc

In the amount of time that it took to assemble a contending team around Jordan (who was drafted in 1984), today's free-agent superteams have already been assembled and disassembled.

Again, not making the argument for one PLAYER being better or worse than another, I'm just pointing out that HOW you assemble a team (and how much credit you give to a particular player for team accomplishments) was a lot harder previously. To get great players, you frequently had to give up a lot of value, you couldn't just go out and write a check to build a super-team.

Basketball?

If it's going to be off-topic - maybe a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages (not that I can think of) of women with big *******-es-es.

The benefits. The 'side' effects. How they come into play during an 'Around the World.'

You know. If we're going off topic. Fun stuff.

Productive discussions.
