      I wish someone could make like a 10 min video comparing LeBron’s game vs Michael Jordan’s game. It would be a comedy show to be honest with you. Someone just watch LeBron trying to create his own shot. The dude has no footwork. He travels half the time. Stumbles on his own foot sometimes. (No joke). No shot. Also, more than 80% of his shots have come off assisted layups and dunks.

On both ends, and did it relentlessly every night. Its funny whenever the debate is brought up that the only part brought up is career achievements and not the skill difference between the two.

      Unless people got to witness the Jordan era, they shouldn’t be able to have an opinion on the goat debate. MJ was not human and you felt his presence and everyone, I mean everyone feared that man. Anyone who says Lebron is the goat, obviously didn’t get to witness true dominance and consistency that Jordan showed. Nobody was even close to being named in the same breath as MJ. Lebron is a beast. But he isn’t and can never be what MJ was. Even if Lebron wins another couple rings, that won’t change anything. Lebron has far too many L’s. Jordan didn’t even know what an L was.

    Just a clarification... Max was with Rockets from 1989-95. They went 8-4 against the Bulls in the regular season (sorry Max!). What I love about Max is that he's fearless, and also played on edge: his opponents never knew if that fuse was gonna go off! He definitely wasn't afraid to go against MJ, but he did say he had many sleepless nights thinking about the matchup. Dude still looks like he could go 10-15 mins in an NBA game today!

    Vernon is right about winning 5 out of 6 during the first 3-peat of the Bulls, but it's not true the Rockets dominated also the years before. In the three seasons from 1987 to 1990 it was 4-2 for the Bulls. Also, we can imagine they would work on a tactical plan to find the answer against Hakeem if they played Houston in the finals. Another clue is Houston had a very hard time with the Knicks, even harder than Chicago had in the previous years' Eastern playoffs. So, the best answer is we just don't know. Yes, the Rockets would have a chance to win, but MJ was MJ.
