im going to go ahead and write this before game two so that lebron has the opportunity to make me look like an ass tonight. and once again i would like to say that this argument is more about the greatness of jordan than the shortcomings of lebron but because the cavs made the finals people are saying that at year 4 of their nba careers that lebron is better than jordan i give you the year four stats and acomplishments. first i will give you this years fine so far career year for lebron.
- 25.8 pts per game
- 8.3 assists per game
- 8.3 rbs per game
- all nba first team
- first team all nba defense
now i will give you possibly the best year ever had by anyone in sports micheal jordans 87-88
- 35.0 pts per game
- 5.5 assists per game
- 5.9 rebs per game
- nba mvp
- scoring title
- nba first team all defense
- defensive player of the year
- all star mvp
- nba slam dunk champion
so yes lebron did get his team in the finals and yes he is well on his way to becoming the nba's biggest star( mostly because kobe is so easy to hate). but the kid is just not yet the overpowering force night in and night out that jordan was for 10 years. not only that but his grand acomplishments have not even matched the pace that jordan set before he started winning his six rings and statues were built outside of stadiums. i know that lebrons got the billboards and the commercial, the style and the smile. but he doesnt have the handle, the mid range jumper or well scottie and phil. call me in three years when he has either devolped these and rings start piling up or he hasnt and the next one starts his journey towards greatness.
