Is Lebron James as good as Michael Jordan?

LeBron's stats are like MJ's because they both averaged over 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, while MJ beat LeBron in points LeBron beat him in assists and rebounds. \n\nLeBron gets better every year so there is a possibility that LeBron gets better than MJ. Plus LeBron is a better all-around player.\n\nThe only reason MJ won 6 chanmpionships is because he had Scottie Pippen in the wings to help out. Who does LeBron have? Hmm? LeBron took the Cavs and in his fourth season (this year) he made them possible title-contenders. Go LeBron!

LeBron is better than Kobe because Kobe is really selfish and will never pass the ball.  And there is only one MJ.  But he is the only LeBron James.

I don't think so...Dwayne Wade is Special. Is he better than MJ?NO!\nBetter than Kobe or Lebron  .... Not quite. But he is up there.\nI would rate him above Iverson.\nThe hype is his right now he just won the title. But so is the Bullseye, everyone hates Kobe, so they want to crown someone as better. I recall Shaq saying after winning one of the 3 titles that Kobe was the best player on the planet. well guess what he was at that moment. As is Wade right now. But 1 ring doesn't put in inJordan status overnight.. let's not be ridiculous.

Right now?, Lebron.  I don't think MJ can move as fast anymore.\nMJ in his prime vs Lebron right now?, MJ.  He didn't just carry his team, he made everyone better.\nMJ in his prime vs Lebron in his prime? To be determined.

If were going for the future I would go with Lebron James. He is the second best player behind Kobe. He is only 22 and was already second in votes for MVP. Make it to the second round and almost knock off the pistons. Great ball handler, defender, driving, clutch shooting. I think the only thing that is not amazing is shooting although he has improved greatly since last season but now he shoots like Iverson sometimes he is on sometimes hes off but the thing he does great is when he is not shooting well he will get to the basket and get a layup or dunk and when thats not goin down he will pass it around and get his team into it.

Magic Johnson was a great player but Michael Jordan was the best

LeBron is so great because he can put up 30+ points, 7+ rebounds, and 8+ assists on any given night. MJ was and still is the best player out there but LeBron is catching up to him. If you look at LeBron's stats in his rookie year and then last year and compare it with MJ's, you'll find that LeBron is better all-around but MJ is better scoring. Remember, LeBron is doing all this and HE IS YOUNGER THAN MOST NBA ROOKIES!\nIf MJ joined the NBA out of high school like LeBron, then this would be a different story. Next year, LeBron has the possibility to be one of the greats.

In response to Chess...LeBron isn't overrated. For some reason you think he is but that is completely wrong. As others have stated Motown was just too good of a team for the Cavs to beat. Once the Cavs get another decent player and they develop as a team the could be the equivelant to the early 90's Bulls.

This question is asked about a thousand times a day by every sports writer in the country, LeBron or Kobe?  You can make a case for either player for the MVP, Kobe has had a spectacular season, posting numbers that haven't been seen since Jordan was on the courts.  Plus dropping 81 points in a game early this season, that was amazing.  But Kobe only cares about Kobe, he may be a great player, but he doesn't make his teammates better, there lies the difference between him and LeBron.  LeBron can score at will just like Kobe, and control/dominate a game like Kobe, but LeBron averages over 6 assists and 6 rebounds a game, Kobe doesn't.  LeBron plays team basketball, Kobe doesn't.  That will be the difference in the voting.

mcgrady is my favorite player, lebron is my second favorite, but i would have to say lebron is the best overall player in the NBA right now. he can make great passes. make steals and block shots. he can drive to the hoop anytime he wants because of his power and can hit a nice range shot. plus he is soooooo fun to watch because of his dunks. he also averages around 25-7-7. so lebron is the best. no, i seriously doubt that lebron will ever win a championship, ilgauskas is good, but not good enough to help lebron james carry the cavs to become a NBA championship calibur team. larry hughs has medical problems and probably will not be able to play for the remainder of this season and after he returns from his injuries, he still will not be as good of a player as he was when he was in washington with the wizards. drew gooden is a very inconsistant player and will not be able to contribute much to his team against all the good power forwards in the game today. such as kevin garnett, and tim duncan.

Michael Jordan and Dwyane Wade are both great basketball players. If Dwyane Wade wants to surpass MJ, the he has got a lot of work to do.

Their is no way that Lebron James is better than Kobe you can compare Kobe has won championships had 81 points in a game so no way that Lebron is better Its Kobe and year by year and getting better. Kobe the best without a doubt
