do you feel so threatened by lebron that you post such a question?

how can you even compare all that to someone who only has 4 year career to gather records. it's not fair for both players
yeah baby ! i say this with my tongue hanging out of my mouth.
People used to say that " man will someday walk on the moon " and look now. It has been done. With the advanced technology in today's society, someday there will rise up an athlete that outdoes even the great Michael Jordan. It may not happen in a year from now and may not happen in 5 years from now, but it will happen. Just ask Hank Aaron......
There is always someone better than the next guy but until then MJ is the best of all time hands down.
Wilt is the best ever
awards didnt get the celtics their franchises first 11 titles in 13 years (the first as a rookie who would change the way basketball is played (rebounding, firing outlet passes and running , facilitating the famous celtic fast break)...would have been 12 titles if bill had not suffered an ankle injury in one finals) awards given by sports writers had nothing to do with playing in a hostile environment night in and night out (not being able to eat or room with white roomates and being abused by sports fans and other prejudiced people in every town they played in, even at home... flashy scoring numbers and stats did not get more than a ring for every finger so much as hard work, sweat and determination...in a time where a black man was held down and probably not voted MVP nearly as many times as this man should have got it...lets face it...11 rings and only a handful of MVPs when the whole country knew he was the primary reason the team got them...a work and team ethic so held to that this man was quoted as saying 'scoring is not the primary component of playing winning basketball' leading yourcollegeteam to a 55 game win streak and back to back national titles, then leading your olympic team to gold BEFORE going pro...not with a whole team of professional 'ringers', this is a player who had 30 rebound nights (wins) against Wilt, arguably one of the greatest players to ever suit up...Wilt averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds one year...and thru Wilt's peak production years Bill still led his Celtic team to titles... so respected towards the end of his career he was made the first black coach of any major sport in america...in Boston of all places, where whites were rocking busses and fighting when students integrated schools...all this in the 60s no less...do you think mere stats can measure up to that...do you think stars of the last 15 years had the mentality to put up with that kind of treatment and still perform...
umm lebron did but no question MJ is the best
I agree and noone will ever be as good as the great micheal "air" jordan, just like there will never be another magic ,bird ,miller ,etc
yes eventually there will be someone better than him , the mj fans just wont except the fact.
Ya just can't compare one player to another when each of them played the game with different team mates, which makes a huge difference.

One thing I DO think....LeBron should be Coach of the Year!!! Mike Brown does nothing but let LeBron call the shots and the talking heads have the nerve to talk about how Brown turned the team around.........BULL!!
is jordan the best of the last 20 years. heck yeah

the best of all time?

not so much, Bill Russel with 11 rings is pretty stiff competition

edit:

thats a great point about the the overcoming of prejudice that Russel had to do.
Look at what Lebron has done in the years before Jordan was still in college. Lebron has way more athletic ability, way more leadership, and way more potential. Don't get me wrong, Jordan was awesome, but we only got to see "prime-time Mike" for about seven solid years. Lebron is not even close to his prime yet. He is a man playing amongst boys as was proven in the last two overtimes in his game against Detroit. Jordan is still the best that ever was...but my question is "do you really think that will be true in five years?"
