    Gambling suspensions are bad.

    I agree.

    LeBron is better than MJ, and isn't as close as people make it seem. He does everything that can be done on a court. He plays with scrubs and takes them to championships year after year. He's the best all around player ever. He would beat MJ 7 out of 10 in one on one. He plays in the most athletic/diverse iteration of the NBA ever seen to date, and absolutely dominates.

    It's just too bad that so many people dislike dominance today. We are luckier than we will ever know for being able to watch him throughout his career.

    I'm a life long Blazers fan.

    Can't wait till he gets ahold of GS again. Hope Kyrie or k love show their face for a game or two.

    Lebron couldn't handle Jordan rules or the bad boys, let alone no call celtics. Gtfo millennial
    LeBron wouldn't get bullied by the likes of Lambier, Salley or Rodman.

    He'd push their old shit in.
    Nega, please. Anthony Mason, Ricky Mahorn, Oakley, Buck Williams...all would knock the shit out of Lebron.

    He would adapt - but he wouldn't run unencumbered like today.
    The rules change cuts both ways. LeBron can hit back.

    Or are you trying to make the classic doog altitude case?
    So take your pick - Jordan over Lebron under the old rules? Jordan over Lebron under the new rules?

    We know exactly what Jordan accomplished in the thug-em-up era. I can only extrapolate that his production would be even higher in the don't-touch-me/AAU generation.

    Not entirely certain that Lebron would be able to maintain his numbers if he's already topping out without encumbrance.

    It's actually pretty simple logic.

    Lebron gets hit more than any player today. It's the Shaq syndrome. He's bigger and stronger so you can whack him.

    It's why he flops. If he just took the blows he wouldn't get the call.

    Your logic does not resemble our earth logic.

    He had been with the team for two months since the gambling suspension.

    I agree. Bill Russell would have led the Bills to the title that year.

    So he should have been well rested. He had pretty much the same squad as his first run and knew Phils system.

    He wasn't good enough to will his team to the finals unlike Lebron. He needed help so they added Rodman the next year and the rest is history.

    He doesn't get a pass from me. He had plenty of time and couldn't do it. His numbers prove he wasn't playing badly, he just didn't have quite as stacked as a team as usual.
