The comparisons between Michael Jordan and LeBron James seem to spark the greatest debates with some of the best NBA minds, but it looks like LeBron wants you to stop… that’s if you want to give him a great birthday present.
If you are living under a rock, LeBron is looking forward to his 32nd birthday, he wants you to stop comparing him to the great Michael Jordan. He doesn’t feel he’s anything like him player wise or body type, if anything, LeBron feels you need to compare him to Kobe.
“No, (Jordan) was much more of a scorer, and at that point (he) did a lot of post work, but our games are just different,” James said via Cavs.com “His body is different, my body is different than his. You recognize the dominance in someone had at that age, but there’s no similarities in our game at all.”
“Our shots are different,” he said. “(Jordan) had much more lift in his fadeaway than mine. That was definitely a go-to move of his, but our games are completely different.”
