And Micheal can think previous player for thing what's your point.

He didn't invent the endorsement thing if that is your point, if you even have one.

He's right. It's what makes Ross' statement about the 6 rings argument and calling it dumb even funnier. The whole MJ/Lebron comparison at it's root is a loving stupid exercise in the first place. Comparing generational talents against each other is a pointless argument because no one knows how it would play out. The game is different. The players are different. How the games are officiated are different. It's not comparable. Not to mention that comparing the two in the first place is dumb because they didn't even do the same poo poo. Mike and Kobe were scorers, 2 guards, not facilitators like Lebron. The better Lebron comparison is Magic and even then it's dumb for the reasons listed above.

I don't know why everyone has to anoint people better than others from past generations, it's one of the most stupid and pointless loving debates in all of sports.

It is not necessary to compare them against each other directly in some holodeck 1v1. And they don't need to be the same position or role either. I don't have a position on whether Lebron or MJ is better but the construction of your argument is incorrect.

LeBron is the best player ever, and also the best off court ambassador for basketball ever, and also a funny guy in movies. I wish he was my friend and I was part of his entourage, I'd give anything to hang out with him

How so?

At it's root, it is a debate of personal opinion and preference above any facts. Although people supporting MJ will point to rings and MVPs while people supporting Lebron scoff at that calling it a dumb argument. MJ and Lebron will never go head to head, so we can never know who is better.

It's really not. I told you to lookup the shoe deals throughout the history of the NBA and to let me know when it took off. ie, who was the first player that blew the shoe deal endorsement game out of the water to set the stage for the future of shoe deal endorsements?

I'm not the one who can't admit I'm wrong. Because I'm not. You can dance around and ignore the subject all you want, that's your gimmick hey it's cool but if you are going to act like an idiot you are going to get called an idiot.

LeBron is bigger, faster, stronger, more handsome and never had to leave basketball because of steroids like Jordan.

Hell, consider the fact that we keep comparing EVERY great bball player to him. No one asks "Is Lebron better than Kobe" or "Is Lebron better than Chamberlain"

Jordan is a benchmark as much for his talent as he is for his iconic grip over the popular consciousness of the sport itself
