Official LBJ thread: G5: Is Lebron fatigued? (173)

Asterisk rings don't really count. Just ask me, circa 1999.

Pau's is the best because it's so incredibly true. You know Kobe thinks he's the best player on the team, even though he shouldn't even start.

I love how Kobe will NEVER be Jordan even if he gets his 6th, but LeBron is in the conversation with 1. 2 years ago it was "now LeBron can never be Jordan, because he left his team and joined up with 2 stars" and now he wins one and he's back to the Jordan comparisons, absolute nonsense.

Jim Boeheim went on Colin Cowherd’s radio show and said that he believes LeBron James has a chance to surpass Michael Jordan as the best player ever.

"I've always thought Michael Jordan was the best player that I've ever seen,” Boeheim said. “I always have and I didn't think it was close. I'm not so sure any more. And I love Michael Jordan. I'm not so sure anymore. This guy is 6-foot-9 and 260 pounds, and he's getting better. He works on his game. His shooting is getting better. He's a phenomenal, phenomenal basketball player. I love this game; I love the history of this game. I know we've had great, great players through the years. He's like Magic Johnson with Michael Jordan-type skills as well."

Boeheim said James is a different player now compared to when he joined Team USA in 2005.

"Ten times better player,” Boeheim said. “Some of it is maturity. He's a leader; he was a kid when we first got him. ... He's a 6-9, 260-pound point guard-forward-center. He guarded the post guys. They always say a guy can guard five positions, I've never seen that. I've heard about it. This guy can guard five guys. He can guard your center, he can guard your small forward, big forward, point guard, two guard. You put him on anybody and he can guard them."

Let me say that James has improved his game (something I doubted greatly) and has shown he isn't the choke artist that he had been in the past. However, the praise he gets has actually surpassed the legacy of MJ after MJ retired. I heard the argument that Lebron has a ring before MJ did at the same time so he is obviously better. WTF? I said earlier I don't even hate on Lebron anymore because it isn't him that is asking for the slobberfest but the pathetic excuses we call sports media. I found it entertaining that whenever they spoke of the Olympics the sports media hardly ever really mentioned the Bronze medal team. It did happen once or twice but it was glossed over during all the gushing of the praise of "greatest ever", "plays all 22 positions on the basketball court", "OMG I have never seen anyone do a jump pass at that speed with such accuracy to an open teammate in my life before" by the announcers. Wonder how bad they kill him if he doesn't win anymore rings?

Plus they happen to forget that while LeBron didn't go to college, MJ did, so while LeBron may have been younger, MJ still did it earlier.. Also to be noted: superteam, lockout season, weak eastern conference even weaker after injuries, terrible officiating (no call game 2, foul call on harden in game 3)....
