But, but he's so much better than Michael Jordan at this stage of his career, right? Too funny. That was the worst thread on here in a long time.

So is Bill Russell twice as good as Jordan? Is Yogi Berra the best baseball player ever?

Judging a player by how many times they were on a team that won a championship is ridiculous.

That's correct. It's just as ridiculous as LeBron losing more Finals than he's won(2-3).

I pity you, your to worried about the Lebron Vs Jordon debate to enjoy the greatness that is Lebron James. I watch his greatness and wait for the GOAT conversation till he retires. Granted I posted in the other board just because osme of the things said there were just stupid. If we all just stopped and looked up to see we are witnessing one of the all time greats and be able to enjoy how great he is.

You're wasting your pity. And I've never said LeBron wasn't a great player. It would be asinine to think otherwise. About as asinine as pitying someone on a message board now that I think about it.

Never mind Jordan, that son of a ***** isn't better than Kobe.

The Big 3 have done pretty well regardless of the decision.

4 straight finals and winning 2 of them.

MJ never lost a final. James is on pace to match Jordans Ships and MVP totals, in finals defeats.

Exactly. Jordan is better than LeBron strictly based on the fact that instead of losing in the Finals he lost before his team reached the Finals? That's the most horseshit argument I've ever heard.

People really get ******** over Jordan. Some of you have watched Space Jam too many times.

Edit: bu++hurt is a banned word?

Not to mention that in this Finals, it was more like the Big 1+2, not the Big 3.

In this series, Lebron was 52-91 from the field (57%). He was 14-27 from 3 (52%). He averaged 28.2 ppg for the series.

I guess you could argue that he should've taken more shots and scored more, but I really don't think ANY superstar of ANY generation would've taken that Heat team and beaten that Spurs team.

They didn't get beat because of Lebron. They got beat because the Spurs are an excellent, well-coached team. I'm honestly still amazed the Heat were able to beat the Spurs last year in the Finals. The Spurs are a better team plain and simple. No individual in the NBA can beat a team by himself. It's just not possible.

I say that as an unabashed Jordan fan. I just don't think it's fair to point to NBA Finals record without considering the supporting casts and their performance. Also, just looking at the record in the Finals ignores all those other years when teams fell short of the Finals. Isn't it better to reach the Finals and lose than to lose in an earlier round?
