I think the biggest argument here against LeBron is his level of competition. Lebron is clearly the best player in the NBA right now. Nobody can match him.


...so how does he score 11 points in a playoff game? How does he flop like a light wind can knock him over? Why doesn't he take over games and dominate his competition consistently?


Jordan was on the court with some all-time greats--Malone and Stockton on the Jazz, Ewing, Magic, Barkley, Bird...the NBA was far more talented overall during his career. Now, it's two teams that have a shot. That's it. Then, there were at least 8 extremely strong teams.


And Jordan consistently rose to the occassion to do what he had to to win. Lebron will NEVER be in the same leaguebas Jordan, and it's only people who never saw Jordan play who will think so.
