    Yeah, I know. It's all part of it, and the reason for message boards. I just find the whole "who is the greatest" arguments fruitless. There will never be a consensus #1 in any sport.

    Jordan is the consensus number one in basketball. We have prisoners in the past screaming Jordan, and prisoners of the present screaming LBJ. But, when you look at production, it's obviously Jordan. Even if you give a slight edge to LBJ on the offensive side of the ball, when it comes to defense Jordan is an all-time great. LBJ is not. The gap on defense is larger than it is on offense.

    I think LBJ is the second best player of his time, and he still has a shot to overcome Jordan. But, he's going to need two or three more monster seasons, more rings, and he's going to have to start playing defense again. Because I can tell you this, no one cares that he's ran into better teams when he has two other stars on his team and a great bench. No one cares. No one.

    Not too much different with the young honestly. When people say Manning is the greatest ever i just shake my head. While it is always subjective it does go both ways depending on the age group.

    LBJ is a great player, no doubt about it. But as previously pointed out people dont stop to watch what LBJ does but they did when Jordan played because they knew he was going to deliver. Its not a stupid argument to me so i disagree with Joe there. You can have a lot of great QB's to play in the NFL but one in particular was the best i had ever seen and doing so many different things and his name is John Elway. I have zero shame in stating that opinion just like i have zero problem with saying the same about Michael Jordan. It just is what it is to me. No matter how many great things LBJ has done it doesnt measure up to me compared to Jordan. Call it killer instinct, call it his demeanor it doesnt matter. It just doesnt match what i saw in Michael Jordan. If it angers people that i dont think LBJ is the greatest ever i really dont care. I believe in what i see in both players and as DenBronx said its like night and day to me.

    I don't like LBJ when he doesn't attack at the end of the game. I don't like that his propensity to go for setting up other players for success makes him too deferential. I like that he developed into a good shooter, and a more productive version of Magic Johnson.

    I think that Jordan is the best scorer ever, and a dominant defender. If that's true, how isn't he the best?

    Jordan in his prime never got outplayed for an entire series, though. When Durant made LBJ fall, and hit that pull up three in his face, Durant snatched his soul. I grew up in the nineties, in Illinois, watching Jordan. I'm super biased.

    When it came crunch time he was money. I'm a Lakers fan (Shoot me) and he's the best I've seen.

    I feel you there being a Trailblazer fan. He crushed my hopes time and time again. I still remember him shrugging at the sidelines when they were crushing the Blazers. Dude was cold as ice. lol
