Quote:His obsession?  If his obsession is schooling you in this argument, then yes its extremely weird.

 

You have a slanted ranking on page 1, he counters, and because its not your opinion you want to say he can't have an unbiased argument.   He has countered everything you said and he's right.  It may be opinion in some cases, but he's right.

 

"I want to be like Mike" was a slogan that everyone fell in love with.  Lebron couldn't pull off anything like that because he isn't beloved like Jordan was.  Teams would go play the Bulls and want to watch Jordan but never really hated him because of his greatness.  That respect isn't there for Lebron.

 

This debate gets boring when people don't give LeBron a fair shake. Jordan is elite and LeBron is elite. They are 2 of the best players, ever. Who was a more dominant overall player is debatable and I don't fault anyone for thinking it was Jordan. I fault the people that don't give LeBron his due credit. He says something like "3 points more per game is better than 1.5 assists more per game". Says who? Him because it makes sense but because it supports his Jordan argument. I'm not interested in discussing it further with him because he can't judge LeBron objectively for whatever reason.

 

On a side note, can you get your brother to explain what he meant about zone defenses? I'm confused by that.

 

 

Hope to see you on the new board!
