Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 3550609, member: 3807"] It's Jordan 1(a) and Lebron (1b) and that's not slight to anyone. Jordan went 6-0 and set a standard for NBA greatness that every player will chase forever now. I think Jordan is a better pure scorer, Lebron is a better passer. I think Jordan is probably the better on ball defender, but I think Lebron in his prime could legitimately guard all 5 positions and his "free safety" defense into transition baskets are something else. In my opinion, Lebron has an interesting need to be liked that both elevates his game in some ways (he makes everyone around him better, as hilariously mentioned previously) but also prevents him from having the same sort of ruthlessness as Jordan had. 1 v 1 in their prime? Lebron probably wins, he has 2-3 inches and probably 40 pounds. If Jordan came make him shoot instead of drive and gets hot he can win but if Lebron just bullies him I'm not sure. Just my thoughts.
