Any NBA followers here?

That's why I said two different type of players and therefore difficult to say! It's not really fair to compare them. MJ is/was the best scorer in the league and has his merits there, but Lebron is a better overall player - he also makes more assists than Jordan did for example. But it's a bit like comparing a striker with a midfielder in football and deeming who is best - really makes little sense. A more fair comparison between a modern player and MJ would be Kobe, and MJ wins over him in almost every stat.

Is he though? They aren't that different. They both hog the ball and play an outside game. Lebron could be a better inside presence if he wanted to, but he likes to bully smaller guards so doesn't mix with the big boys much.

Are you just looking at rebounding stats? Jordan was a better scorer, lightyears better defensively (he continually led the league in steals and always took the other teams best player in a tag team with Pippen), probably the most clutch player ever and a born leader.

Lebron isn't fit to wipe Jordans ass. Its not difficult, its fact

I dont really get the Hill one either heard it on ESPN

Suns also brining in Beasley from the Timberwolves

[Darkon]

really? not that good anymore. I see Dragic is Suns replacement for Nash, so they have come out well really.

[Chazza]

Yeah some would argue that injecting some decent youth into the team long term is more important

Rumours they are also going for Grant Hill to join the over 30's club

[Darkon]

Good signing for the Lakers, really need an improvement on that position. Not one for the long term, but will give them something really good for a few season. Cost them 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks though!

[Chazza]

Steve Nash has joined the Lakers

[Chazza]

Few rumours knocking about that Howard wants a trade to Brooklyn

Also the Heat trying to sign Ray Allen but the Celtics have offered him more money

LeBron isn't fit to lace Jordan's boots.

No way is Lebron anywhere near MJ's level.

Of course he takes more boards...he's 6'9 and plays on the wing.

Jordan was incredible.

Lebrons not even as good as Magic Johnson was.

He's a great player, but he has some ways to go before he can be in the same league as Jordan/Magic/Hakeem etc.

Hard to say really, to different type of players. Jordan is without a doubt the better scorer, but I think Lebron is the better overall player, i.e. he takes more rebounds, have more blocks and I even think his assist rate is better.

MVP, NBA Champion, Finals MVP and Olympic Gold is going to be a pretty productive year for LeGod!

[Darkon]

Lebron had a fantastic 5th game there, triple double and deserved MVP. Durant was the only player that seemed to cope with the pressure in this game, Westbrook being out of it.

Good news for the Heat, makes it easier to keep the team together next season. OKC just needs a bit more muscle in the team, and they will be an even stronger challenge next year. If they keep the team together as well, I can see a big rivalry going the next few years.

[Chazza]

Lebron gets a ring and the MVP incredible performance and series from him

OKC looked shot and turned the ball over so many times although you cant legislate for Mike Miller shotting 7 3 pointers after shooting **** all in the previous games

[Trippendicular]

Luis was there for game 5
