No.

Stop yourself.

Please.

It pains me to say, and I’m currently shedding a tear by posting this, but it’s time for the denial to stop. LeBron will wind up surpassing MJ. The sooner we accept it, the easier it will be. His game last night shows how much he has left. He’s shooting 61% with 29, 8, and 9 at age 33. Jordan was 33 for the second to last championship. He was still a champion, but he wasn’t racking shit like that. And he had played a lot fewer games than LeBron at that age.

Now before I get crucified, know that I probably watched at least 78 of Jordan’s games that year and the next year... and he was slowing down. At that point, it was more of a Jordan-Pippen dominated team than a Jordan team. Jordan could still finish games and series, but he was having a lot of 7-26 type “warrior” games in the playoffs. We just happen to remember the flu game and his closing moments.

If LeBron retired today, I’d still say Jordan, but Lebron still has a number of superstar level years left. And when it counts, he’s still the best in the game.

Jordan might still be the best scorer or the most focused finisher, but if I’m starting a franchise today with either player, knowing that I’ll have them the next 20 years, it’s probably LeBron.

Look guys, I know it hurts. It hurts bad. And I’ll never admit it among non-friends, but it’s true. This is a safe place.

Still Jordan but I'm willing to concede that if LeBron wins a couple more titles and MVP awards, it's possible I change my mind. I never thought that'd happen.

I think Lebron would have been ruined mentally by both Jordan and the Pistons of the late 80s. Kobe in his prime would have put up more of a fight.

First of all, Cons, I don’t troll.

Second, to Peeps, if he wins two more titles, it’s not even a debate in my mind.

This has to be a pierogis coma

Going back to the OP, if we're starting a franchise, I'm gonna go with the guy who hasn't ditched his teams twice(gonna be three times after this summer).

You’re being emotional.
