Can Lebron be better the Jordan?
Sure…
Is it something worth spending time on right now?
Absolutely not…
Reason is simple, until Bron has at least five championships there is nothing to really talking about. Lebron’s statistics are going to be out of this world whenever he retires, but that simply won’t matter.
I think even Barkley recognizes that if you read his quote in his entirety.
“I do think he can be better than Michael,” Barkley said. “I thought I would never compare somebody to Michael Jordan. But this guy, LeBron James, he does everything well. Michael did everything well. LeBron James is just bigger, stronger, faster. That’s the only difference.”
Lebron is starting the 5th chapter of his NBA Biography. Chapter 1 was the high school phenom, Chapter 2 were the Cleveland years, Chapter 3 THE DECISION & Chapter 4 Exercising the Championship Demons.
The middle of any book or film is where the most action takes place. Lebron is chasing legends now (Magic, Bird, Hakeem, Kobe, Jordan and etc).
Curious to see how it turns out.
