finally enjoying, decided to tell the world that LeBron James was better than
Michael Jordan. I know that Pippen is a migraine suffer but his statement makes one
wonder if said ailment has finally rendered him basketball stupid. This is the way I
see it. LeBron James is the best player...... of his time. Still though, James can't
be better than Jordan until he wins multiple championships. Last I looked, LeBron
is one championship series short of winning his first title. So if the the boys in Vegas
are right, the NBA championship scorecard will read.... Jordan 6 James 1 come
the conclusion of the upcoming NBA Finals. It's more than that though. It's the
fact that Jordan won six titles with virtually the same level of talent that surrounded
James in Cleveland for seven years. But while Michael was putting on
the cape and plowing the road for Championship gold when his team mates
were essentially useless most nights........ James would simply stand and watch
and pout and ultimately fail in his attempts at the coveted grail known as
the O'Brien trophy. Remember folks, LeBron was the man who quit on the
Cavaliers during last year's playoff series with the Boston Celtics.
Does this sound like someone who is better than Jordan? Would you ever in your life
witness Jordan surrendering in the heat of battle? Remember folks, LeBron James
took his ball and went to Miami. Why? Because he simply couldn't shoulder the load of
being the "man" on his own. Jordan had to much pride to ever be a second banana.
Jordan was a lot of things, but he was never a merc. That's what LeBron is to me, a merc.
He's a merc who lacks both Jordan's heart and Jordan's will. Make no
mistake though, LeBron is one of the most talented players I've ever seen. His length,
his quickness, his touch. If he IS like Jordan in anyway, it's the fact that he has the
talent to take over a game in the blink of an eye. I say again though, he is NOT Jordan.
This fact was made crystal clear the day he left Cleveland.
