Speaking of the WWE, they messed with our perception of 50. Sure, MJ can come back and win a title -- look at Hogan!"
Yeah, I thought Lebron may have been staring at the Bobcats bench.

Jordan's going to go try and steal LeBron's children or something now.
Lebron is denying it.

Yep. Cats mad that LeBron "disrespected" a guy who would refuse to take a picture with them and try to take their dates just for the hell of it?
Yeah this really surprised me looking at this thread and noticing the time of the season.

MJ is hailed to much. He's not untouchable. Is he one of the greatest athletes of all time? Yes. Is he a human being? Yes. People need to stop placing him on a pedestal.
What? Lebron wouldn't just take a bunch of scrubs to the playoffs, he'll win 66 games with them. He'll take them to the Finals, and the first season WITHOUT Lebron, they'll instantly become the worst team in the league.
How people try to downplay Lebron's accomplishments even without real help is laughable. He gets crucified for not winning the Finals playing with a bunch of D-Leaguers, while people dismiss MJ not even making the Finals and getting sonned by the Pistons over and over again, until he got gifted a HOF sidekick and a HOF coach, then he got a HOF rebounder, one of the best of all-time. He also got gifted perimeter snipers.
MJ had it good, you can pretty much insert any decent player in that rotation and they still do some damage. Hell, didn't they still make it deep after MJ retired the first time? How did the Cavs do after LBJ left them? LOL

Lol like he's going to admit it. We know he was staring down someone, whether it was MJ or the bobcats bench is up for debate.
allen iverson dragged the sixers into the finals.
the eastern conference was MUCH tougher then that it is today. the first two times Jordan went to the playoffs, they had the Celtics in the first round lol

Why can't LBJ be great, and Jordan be greatest? The numbers bear that out. Why can't we accept the reality of that?
At least LBJ is still playing, so he has the chance of someday surpassing him. I don't get why he has to be better now...especially when he objectively isn't.

why would you 'hate to admit it'? LeBron is clearly the best today. comparisons with Durant is laughable. Durant simply doesn't have the all around game that LeBron has.

Yeah LeBron is so tough, he only gets clowned by our 36 year old back up center lol.
In this gif, does number 22 swing at a ref? I swear that's what it looks like.

Is he looking at Jordan or the bench/team?
Why would he look specifically at Jordan?

He's gunning for Jordan's spot as GOAT. It's just competitive thing. They don't really hate each other, but they don't have a friendship or anything.
They were one of the top defensive teams during the regular season. If they had another scoring option, they would be great.

The salt on both sides are great. I hate James and Jordan was a known dick. Both sides can burn.
Well I'll be damned, I'll admit my Lakers tanking and me moving to Japan has taken me away from the NBA.
That's pretty good for Rich Cho and Jordan then.

People were comparing him to Jordan since he was in high school. He's got the expectations in his brain that he's supposed to be a legend or even bigger, but in reality it's a most fabricated thing. With Jordan retiring, they wanted to create another Jordan.
So yeah, I can see him having this attitude in his head.

When LeBron retires, at worst, public opinion will have in the top 10 greatest basketball players ever. At worst. He's already got a better career than Bird.

That's one of the reasons why I don't think anybody will push MJ from the throne in the near future. MJ was so freaking big everywhere, while LeBron in comparison is a nobody.
Jordan is Legend. LeBron is LeBron. Jordan shouldn't care. If he did make the comments about 1 on 1 then that was pretty stupid. I mean dude is an icon. He doesn't need to say petty shit like that.

Let's just ignore this and go over to Kareem's side.

I hate them both....Jordan is/was an asshole. Lebron I get the feeling is all fake and a bit of an asshole behind the scenes like Jordan was.

Olajuwon would clown both these bums.

Um...that was when they blew up the team. No Jordan or Pippen.

Not even the same positions. Plus being 7 feet helps a lot.

I wanna see him stare down Bill Russell.
Yeah LeBron is so tough, he only gets clowned by our 36 year old back up center lol.
Lebron threw his ass down and got him ejected, I'd say this played into has hand just the way he wanted.
Asking fans if he could fuck their wife, demands pay to take pictures and give autographs, well known shit talker, etc etc.

This right here.....think about it the league sucks so much right now.
Look at all the so called best players from all the good teams.
Rose has been injured and probably never be the same
Kobe is injured and old now and the team is horrible
Dwight Howard is a baby without a bottle, still hasn't developed a good post game
Kevin durant while good knows you can't win series with jumpers by his self
Amare has faded away completely
Carmelo can't win because of his horrible shot selection and he can't play d
Harden while aggressive practically only plays offense (look up the video on his defense)
Pierce and K g are old men walking
Westbrook builds brickhouses
Dirk is one and done plus his team is lacking
The pacers are overrated and are struggling against the hawks.
Blake griffin is even softer than lebron and he hasn't even developed his game yet.
Everybody else is either inexperienced , old and/ or injured
The league sucks right now

You could fill up a similarly uninspired post about Patrick Ewing and the Knicks alone.
Anyway, you all see how LeBron staring Jordan down forced Jordan to comment on the Donald Sterling controversy.
Gotta get that dunk out of the news.
