No matter how much Lebron tries he won't ever surpass the god. Lebron is a spectacular basketball player and will go down as one of the
greats but he just isn't the complete package that MJ was.
Boy stop. See this is what I'm talking about MJ fans won't allow LJ to be that guy.
Real talk. Mike is that dude. When people say "like Mike" they're talking about MJ. Hell, there was a movie called "Like Mike." His shoes are forever going to be the most popular gym shoe. He has hall of fame athletes on "Team Jordan". Derrick Jeter, C.C. Sabathia, Ray Allen, Randy Moss, the list goes on. The fact that there is a Team Jordan says it all. LeBron will never get that big. Kobe could never get that big. No one will ever get that big. And I have not mentioned what he did on the court. It's popular belief that Mike would have won 2 more if he didn't go crazy and retire after the '93 title. And who can argue when you see what he did his first full year back.
I read somewhere when Mike won his first title the feeling was "this is just the beginning" by everyone in/around basketball. LeBron is on the verge on winning his first and the feeling is "finally" by everyone in/around basketball. And I'm sorry but chances are LeBron won't win more 3 unless they have another free agent class like 2010. Wade is obviously losing it and it's been a battle so far. In two years Wade will have lost 2 steps Bosh will be (for lack of a better word) a scrub and LeBron's athleticism will be fading. Sorry to be bearer of bad news. Enjoy him now. He's had a first ballot HOF career already so be happy about that but don't think he's going to be considered the best when he's done.
Sorry for the essay.....i'm a huge sports fan.
