He hasn't yet been to 8 straight finals. His team has qualified, but until game 1 he hasn't done that. Probably a 1 in 100 million chance he'll be seriously injured or die in a freak accident that prevents him from playing.
So you're telling me there's a chance?!
LJ gets to play in an era where every team doesnt have a 7 footer waiting at the basket ready to throw his ass on the ground.
His team today wouldn't beat the pistons Celtics or bulls of the late 80's to late 90's.
LJ gets to play with favorable refs and i dont think I have seen him come off a legal screen in years

Hey, look!
Someone is on your lawn.

The east is a joke year in and year out. 10 of 15 this year’s all-NBA players are in the West. The Celtics were missing their two best players. The Cavs will get swept by whoever they play in the finals. I think 5 teams in the west would take down the Cavs in a series. Nonetheless, LeBron is absurd and this postseason of his is ridiculous.
MJ would not even have been in the playoffs if he took LeBron’s place on this year’s Cavs.

Look at a picture of Lebron next to those 7 footers. If anyone's ass ended up on the ground it would be them. And there's this thing called a three pointer that he's pretty good at too.
MJ was freakishly amazing, but LJ is even more amazing. Other than center, the guy can play every position, and he has more dimensions to his game than MJ did. The guy is an absolute beast.
I'm suffering from Lebron fatigue. Seems like we've been hearing about him since he first dunked in kindergarten and posted up college players in 3rd grade. I know the NBA needs starts, but a Rockets-Celtics final would have introduced the world to a new generation of exciting, still-developing players. Instead, the NBA is like the movie business: if it worked last year, let's have a sequel.
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Lebron on the court? For MJ you think of a guy in the air defying gravity; for Kobe a long arching jumper; Kareem and the finger roll. For Lebron its holding the ball like a running back while taking four steps down the lane, barreling into other players who understandably are mystified when they get called for a foul.
Yeah, it works. But it's not the same.

-So I take it you prefer when inferior teams win out and face one another?
-As far as your description of LeBron's skills, you're laughable. LeBron doesn't travel very often. He's obviously more than just a big guy lumbering around. If that's all it takes, why is perennial All-Star Al Horford, who is bigger and stronger than LeBron, one-tenth the player?
This is all too obvious to waste time explaining.

You and a couple of other whiners are fatigued. See post above regarding ratings being up.
Just listen to him talk. He sounds like a buffoon compared to Jordan. Someone needs to coach him on his personality.
I'm very confident that Lebron James is vastly more intelligent than you. You probably voted from Trump.

Shows how much you know about basketball. Lol
You think of Kareem and the finger roll? Doncha think maybe the skyhook should come to mind?
Has anyone watched regular season games/ playoff games of Jordan? The league was garbage. The "superstars" that he faced were washed up af. More physical, yes, but better? Hell no. We like to overhype garbage teams from the past that wouldn't scratch today's golden state warriors.

How many times did MJ make it out of the 1st ROUND w/o Pippen?? ZERO.
right.
cleveland squad is not lousy at all, it's always a team game for the win at this level.
thunder ball, russell westbrook do everything does not get it done.
cleveland extras outplayed thunder studs by a wide margin.
lebron scores 30 per game, the other guys have to get 70 and stop the opposition.
without the cav defense there would be only the headline, ball hog lebron can't win without kyrie, wade, etc.

Jordan never talked about anything. Too busy protecting his brand to try and sell more shoes. He stood for nothing other than $$$. Lebron is 10 times the man Jordan was. You know and it's part of why you hate him. Sure you hate that he doesn't have illegitimate kids you don't of or mistresses either. Kepp on hating!

dude, back in the day is was 80% lakers celtics.
It’s hard to compare eras. The rules have changed dramatically. Hand check, zone, charging under the basket, etc. Teams were more physical and were forced to play man to man in Jordan’s era.
Lebron has had more all-stars on his team.
MJ was scoring champ AND defensive player of the year. He’s a more complete player in that regard.
The East is garbage now. Miller, Isiah, Ewing, Penny, Shaq....are no where to be found in the Least. Lebron in the West might be ringless.
He’s the best of this era, that’s all. He’s going to get swept this year. He’s like the Bills, just with a few more wins.

If you can win your league after imploding your team in January then your league is bollocks.
It took the Cavs 7 games to beat a Celtics team without its two stars.
Lebron would have been slowed down significantly during Jordan’s era due to the rules changes. It’s just a different era. Drive uncontested to the basket, score or pitch out to an open 3.
Alan
And what defensive category has Lebron ever lead the league in? None.
MJ was steals leader and the much better defender. Was also NEVER the second best player on his team (see: Wade, Miami)
