I disagree that Lebron is faster than Jordan... I've never seen a basketball player as fast or quick as jordan, EVER!

I've always felt Lebron had more power than MJ. His movement to the rim might be the best combination of speed and power of any player I've ever seen - including MJ and Kobe.

But that doesn't mean he's a better player -- that's an entirely different discussion. MJ's still better...by some.

Jordan was a better athlete and basketball player.

I think Lebron is a better all around athlete. Lebron can you outquick you and out muscle you. I think Jordan was more fluid in his movements and had better body control but I have never seen an athlete with the combination of size, power, and explosiveness, in any sport, as Lebron. People are going to say Jordan just because hes Jordan but imagine if he had Lebrons body. He would probably would have averaged 35 and 10 for his career.

Well i wouldnt necessarily say either player had/ has physical limitations but when comparing the two Jordan was not as strong and powerful as Lebron. Jordan was one of the quickest, fastest, and most explosive players in the league but Lebron is not only one of the quickest, fastest, and most explosive players too hes also one of the most powerful. I think Lebrons the better athlete because he can do pretty much all of the things Jordan could (from a purely athletic standpoint) but Jordan couldnt do all of the things Lebron can do (such as guard a center if need be). All that being said at this point Jordan is still the better player.

It's a shame that Lebron the wunder athlete cannot reach as high as Jordan when they both jump.

I'm not sure about that. When they were both at there physical peak i'd say Michaels vertical was maybe 1 or 2 inches more but lebron is 2 inches taller with probably longer arms so I'd say Lebron could actually reach a higher point.

And Sean Kemp? theres no such player as Sean Kemp but Shawn Kemp was a good player and and athlete too bad he fell off so fast.
