He has seemed more cranky than usual this season. I can see why. Hope he finds some comfort.

Fun to see harden ball out tonight. I personally hate Anthony Thomas so it is fun to see his [BLEEP] pouting when they get rickrolled.

If Paul George stays on that team hes an idiot. They are going nowhere with Russel and Carmelo.

We will see if that continues in the playoffs. I mean its impressive, but I don't think they get past the 2nd round without him.

what is weird to me is how week to week all the hype is. one week the media is slamming LJ and saying he had to avoid a game 7 and then he does this. Don't get me wrong, this past week watching his has been some of the best ball i've seen from one individual player ive seen in a long while. The guy is a monster. It is just funny to see people doubt him after one one series.
also im not pointing out you either, i'm referring to the media in general.

I'm probably the biggest Jordan fan on earth, so here is my take if it matters.
I named my son after Jordan, so I'm a huge fan, and I have watched both Jordan and James.
Jordan could have won 8 Titles if his father didn't pass away. The only team that was even close to the Bulls was the Rockets. What many people don't realize is Michael could have been a MLB outfielder because he was that talented. But back to basketball. Michael was a ball hog and he took a lot of shots. He would tell you he was going for 50 points. And he did.
James could have went in the top 5 in an NFL draft as a TE, WR, and DE, or Safety. He would be Sean Taylor on defense and Shannon Sharpe on offense. But back to basketball. Lebron has the advantage at the end because he skipped college. He plays in a different era, however both could play in any era. They kept saying Lebron doesn't have that clutch gene...but that kind of changed this year without Kyrie. Kyrie won James a Title with a game winner, Kerr won Michael won. James never had Rodman, Michael had Pippen, James had Wade.
You can go on forever, but the fact is Michael was deadly and dangerous. Lebron is only like that in game 7s.
If Lance Stevenson blew in Michael's ear, then he would have been punched in the face.
They are both great. Michael was a little more sellable on the market...but Lebron is closer to him than Kobe.
Just my opinion

I tend to think that he's built his legacy big enough that remaining loyal to Cleveland by finishing his future with the Cavs would benefit more than chasing a championship with a team like the Sixers, Rockets, other which still may not be achievable since Durant killed any hope of NBA playoff excitement by going to GS.

He could have played the Rockets in 95. Except he was beat by the Magic with Penny and Shaq.
I think Jordon is better than LeBron too. But people always pretend he didn't lose in the conference semi-finals in 95. And then try to pull the 'what ifs.' Jordon had a chance to get 7 in the 90's with the same crew he got the 6 with, he just didn't get it done. Thats reality, not a what if.
All that said, LeBrons streak of finales appearances and general playoff excellence is really unmatched in the modern age. But I still don't think he was better than Jordon, he doesn't elevate the team as much.
