Karl Malone, Drexler, Stockton, Kemp, Payton and Miller were his real rivals. Which aren't nearly as good as when Bird and Magic are taken out
Olaijuwon? Barkley?

Andrew3737

Barkley yes.

Hakeem is a funny one. He was elite of elite in the years Jordan was absent. He also never played vs Jordan post season, so hard to say.

Took him how long to make the finals? LBJ got there with the worst team in the nba lel
When Cavs made the finals, it was a weak period in the nba. AND HE GOT SWEPT HAHAHA. "the greatest of all time" should never get swept in the finals.

Love it how you act as if Lebron has been going up against guys at the level of Magic, Bird, Thomas, Malone, Stockton etc.


If only LeBron had Scottie pippen a top 50 player in his prime and Rodman the best rebounder of all time. LeBron has a guy as good as pippen except he is old and has knee problems and is a shell of hid old self and a undersized big man who can't grab boards and is just an oversized shooter.

Given LeBron those 2 and he would have 6+ rings in this weak era. The weak eta argument is mute when lebrons teammates in clevaland are terrible even compared to the weak opposition.

At least pippen and Rodman were hood players.

Master Q

I hate to say it but Heat would of still probably made playoffs last year without LeBron. Not finals, but playoffs. So that says something about the team.

I'm talking Cleveland.

The mav series has been his only flaw at Miami.

My Chumps

The Bulls did post a 55-27 record after Jordan left, and Pippen had a PER of 23.2.

Probs should've quoted him. I think the Heat without Lebron would've gone down second round tbh, but it's all hypothetical.

For now, Jordan > Lebron, but who knows at the end of their careers. We saw an MJ like performance in Game 7 this year no doubt.

All-time... There have only been 5 people to average 18+ for 14 straight seasons... I was kinda surprised by that tbh.

Jordan and Kobe are correct. Still 3 more :)

Wilt, Shaq and Duncan are not on the list.

Andrew3737

Kareem, Karl Malone.

Can't think of the 5th.
