Nope!
He is not better than MJ!
How many rings does he have? He had to leave his team and join with a superstar to try and get his first ring. If you think he is better than MJ, please save that opinion for at least 8 years. If Jordan hadn't been devastated by his Fathers murder, he would most likely have 8 instead of 6.
Your guy has a lot of catching up to do!
Simple as that.
If he can't win one in Miami, where will he go next?
Hollywood?
I think we need to wait a few years before comparing the two though i never liked comparing players playing different positions.
I still think LBJ is still probably a couple of seasons from getting to the point where people compare his career with Kobe even. Still, i'd rather not compare players to other players playing different positions. I also wonder how Kobe feels about this stuff right now. I'd like to see someone ask Kobe about these comparisons.
I don't think the discussion about who is the greatest basketball player ends with Michael Jordan. Pippen entitled to his observations and perspective. He knows the game and got first-hand look at Lebron during the Heat-Bulls series. I appreciate his comments.
He may be right too. At the end of Lebron's career, we may look back and decide that he was better than Jordan.
