Cowherd: just admit you're critical of Lebron because you're worried he's better than Jordan

[SJ76]

The first 3 peat was sweet. The 2nd one was the most impressive.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a team lock down like on defense.


Rodman, Pippen, Jordan -- all first team defense. No team has ever had 3

Jordan is the Babe Ruth of the NBA. He's the GOAT until someone can approximate both his numbers and his titles. LeBron isn't there yet, has a long shot to get there (not zero chance). If not him, maybe someday someone else. Lonzo Ball is close.

Yea, the problem with Ruth is that it was so long ago that he did it lol I mean people say basketball is completely different from the Russel/Wilt days, now think about how different it is from the early 10s up to the mid 20s.

Technically, Ruth is the GOAT, but Barry Bonds is the greatest player of all time in my eyes.

Where did I say that?

"Opportunity to create a dream team"

I know you homers are slow today but at least learn to read.

ah, don't worry about ol' Shane. he's still crying his eyes out because i wasn't buying his bullshit...

once he gets over his tear jag i'm sure he'll be just fine...

So to make 7 finals but only win three is better than making six finals and winning all 6?

No. Again, you are bringing MJ and LBJ into this. It's a separate argument. Is it better to go to the Finals and lose, or to not make the Finals?

Well, just like MJ and his rings, Ruth won tons of titles and Bonds won zero.

Had it since the CBS days..

I know, that's why I said he's technically the GOAT.

But if you told me to pick between Ruth/Bonds to start a team, it's a no brainer who I'm taking.

When it comes to LeBron and Jordan, it's not a no brainer at all.

i guess ask the 4 time Super Bowl Buffalo Bills...?

I think the argument trying to be made, is that LeBron gets more shit for losing 4 times in the Finals, than Jordan does for losing to the C's and Pistons early in his career, and then to the Magic in 95, which has never made sense to me either.

Joe Fan as in casual fans?


They also were saying Curry > Jordan last year, what those clowns say has no bearing on the real world.

The worst poster in the NBA thread (I don't need to need to name him), is better than any fan you're going to run into at the bar.

not that there aren't some days i could argue that...

 

[msgkings322]

Yep. And they would say it's better to be them than to have lost in the AFC title game every year instead.

 

[RobToxin]

That's a good point about this board and I am going to throw this out there in response to the original comment that people worry that he's better than Jordan.

I don't think, for the most part, that is true on Sports SportsHoopla.

Who are the most vocal LeBron critics on this sports board?

Most are Laker fans.

It would seem to me that if there was truth in what Cowherd was saying, these Laker fans would care more about how LeBron stacks up to Kobe than how LeBron stacks up to Jordan.

At least, that's the way I see it.

Ruth will always be GOAT I agree bc of the longevity of his complete dominance. Bonds probably had the best prime of all-time (Ruth is still right there) and he has 6 MVP's to show for it. If they had MVP's in Ruth's time I would be interested to see how many he would have won, there were some great great players in his generation.
