Either bitter or still passionate about their rivalry back in the day, Bill Laimbeer is still firing shots at those great Bulls teams.
Laimbeer is a guest on the Dan Patrick Show, and was who he’d take in the LeBron vs Michael Jordan debate. Did you really think Laimbeer would side with a Bulls legend?
"There's no question I would take LeBron. He can do more." – Bill Laimbeer on who is/was better in their prime…Jordan/LeBron.

When asked to explain, Laimbeer simply said James could do more.
“There’s no question I would take LeBron James,” he said (he starts talking about LeBron vs. MJ at the 4:10 mark of the clip above). “He can do more. Michael Jordan could score and make big shots and look spectacular at times with wild flying dunks, but LeBron can get you 18 rebounds, get you 15 assists, or score 50 if he wants to. The triple threat he poses is just phenomenal, and the size—he just physically dominates. It’s impressive.”
“Look at what LeBron has in the Finals right now,” he said. “Could anybody else in the world have led this team of role players to the Finals right now? I don’t think so. Jordan could not have led this team to the Finals.”
