Message: [QUOTE="MilliniumPrince, post: 2210872, member: 747"] People forget Jordan's early years ended in playoff failure. That is the nature of legends. The farther away you get from the story, the greater the positive details appear. LeBron has never been swept in a playoff series. He didn't have the same level of stability and quality of coaching Jordan had. Jordan had Doug Collins and Phil Jackson. Lebron has gone to the Finals with Mike Brown, Erik Spoelstra, David Blatt, and Ty Lue....every coach he has ever had except Paul Silas. That alone should improve Lebron's case. People remember that great game when MJ score 63 against Boston. What they forget is he lost both that game and that series. It is a fun debate, and these two are clearly the best non-centers in the history of the game. I would happily build a franchise around either. But to say Lebron has no shot of passing MJ, when his career isn't over is shortsighted. [/QUOTE]
