lebron is a true superstar, will he win 6 titles and be as great as mj ? maybe, maybe not....well probably not. winning 6 titles will prob not be done again. that being said most players these days don't stay with their original team. remember drexler,hakeem,barkley for houston. oneal and kobe for lakers. getting superstars on the same team could happen.....he could be a free agent in yrs to come and go for a winning team rather than just $$$$$
mj stuggled in his early yrs to win and ppl were saying all he could do was score and score, not lead a team to a championship. remember it took him 6 or 7 yrs to win a championship.
lebron was younger than mj when he entered the league and is a better rebounder and passer than mj at the same stage of his career.
jordan had to beat some awsome combinations, sure he had pippen but how many more hundred times did mj outscore or out play pippen. mj had to win and lead from the front, he could never rely on pippen to win big. remember his alleged "headache" and all the times rodman got the better of him in the play offs. mj had to do it by himself
injuries- remember grant hill was suppose to take over for mj as the man for the nba...until he got injured. same could happen to lebron
i actually feel sorry for lebron, in only his third season people are already comparing him to mj- the greatest ever to play. he is only 21 or 22 maybe. to have this burden and expectations would be hard to deal with.
remember dr j was the standout for the league, then bird and magic, then jordan.... ppl are always looking for someone to carry and be the face for the nba.... they are now looking to lebron
rings are important.... karl malone and ewing, two of the greatest to play when compared to say bird or magic just aren't quite there and think of how many all-nba first teams karl malone has been on.....
