I think not.

Jordan was just punching teammates instead of chalk boards.

After LBJ broke his hand it impacted his shooting. Jordan punched Kerr and it made him a better shooter.

To be fair, that chalkboard probably shoots at a higher percentage than J.R. Smith.

Well played.

Let’s not pretend MJ’s emotions never got the better of him. He was considered by many to be a jerk.

Maybe, but i still dont think Lebron is in his league and it seemed when MJ got emotional it made him better whereas LBJ seems to fall apart Cutler style when his emotions get the better of him.

It was an issue when he was younger.

I don't blame LBJ here, or the bench meltdown (which was bad and embarrassing to watch) because of the circumstances. JR is an idiot who is probably only in the league because LBJ saved his career. He lied about what he knew on the score, he didn't even take a timeout when he saw LBJ going nuts, etc. He has been mostly useless in the playoffs. He's a stupid person. The idiot cost them a great chance to win and the Cavs needed luck to win this series.

LBJ had a team that was passable in the east if it had a truly blessed superstar. Nothing short of a top five player could make that team look respectable. Kyle Korver or whatever the **** his name is a loser choker piece of shit. Tristan Thompson is a limited player, Kevin Love is still a good player, but he regressed faster than any other star I've ever seen. That team is shit. And JR ****** up a game where LBJ played better than anyone else in Finals history. He was a god.

Honestly Ty Lu or whatever his name is (he's a bad head coach and an idiot) gets outcoached every series. All he's ever been is the loser that Allen Iverson stepped over on national television.

So, I get it. LBJ was perfect, almost willed them back into a great spot, and a guy too stupid to spell the word stupid ****** it up.

He didn't shoot the ball in overtime until it was halfway over and they were down by a chunk of points.

It was like when Kobe wouldn't shoot in the fourth quarter when his team blew that 3-1 lead.

punching teammates is a much more effective motivator than punching a chalkboard. . .

Let us also note that MJ knew better than to punch Rodman. Jordan did not want that beating. Because that's what Rodman would have put in his life! IN HIS LIFE!

Maybe, and all we have here are opinions. Personally, I don’t think Jordan could have even taken a team like Cleveland to the finals.

I think Jordan would have violated the East. He would have then gotten demolished in the Finals.

You need a crew to deal with the Warriors.

Absolutely, and Jordan always had a crew. Pippen was one of the 3 or 4 best players in the league at the time. Rodman was the best rebounder in the league at the time. I don’t think LeBron has played with anyone of their caliber. Bosh and Wade were good, but I would take Rodman and Pippen any day of the week.

One could even argue Horace Grant was a more dominant player than Love because of his impact defensively.

wade over pippen all day, err day. . . scottie's a sidekick-- dwade's a full-fledged alpha dog in his own right. . . i would say jordan never played with anyone as good as wade. . .

Injuries kept Wade back, but he won a ring as the alpha on his own team.

So has anyone changed anyone's mind yet?
