Message: [QUOTE="JimHurley, post: 3557324, member: 6008"] As someone who did not see Jordan in his prime, what made him BETTER than LeBron? Not looking for an argument, just generally curious. I think there's difference between best player and greatest player. The best player is simply who is the best basketball player of all time. The greatest player is who left the greatest legacy and their impact on the game of basketball. I think Jordan is unquestionably the greatest but I also think there's an easy argument for LeBron as the best. LeBron is a better shooter, passer, and rebounder. He didn't score as much but Jordan was also more of a volume scorer. Jordan's toughness and defense beat LeBron easy. So what is the argument for Jordan being better than LeBron? You can always say 6-0 in the Finals, but winning alone doesn't make you the better player. If that was the case then Bill Russell is #1. And before anyone asks, I love both guys. Not hating on either one. [/QUOTE]
