Was LeBron's Path HARDER Than Michael Jordan's?

When it comes to talent they’ve faced, LeBron faced a lil better players. My opinion.

Jamaal

Lol right!!

lepawn... that mf has the best name to make f'd up nicknames with lmaoo

Lesson'd Burn

Shannon has to be on the payroll for Lepawn

First stint in meaning his first 7 years because that's the amount of years lebron was on the cavs his first go around, so they'll be jordan from 84 to 91. Give me 89, 90, and 91 Pippin over any body Lebron played with from 03' to 10'

Magic came to LA with Kareem, Worthy, and a great FO, You bring up LBJ in 07 but what about Bird in 1981 when he scored 15 and a role player outplayed him? Duncan came into the NBA with DRob who was still an all star and soon to be one of the greatest Coaches of all time, You trying to paint a picture of them not coming into good environment is disingenuous

The cavs did absolutely nothing before LBJ came, the bulls had great players like gilmore, jerry sloan, bob love etc before MJ came to that team

MJ stats that no one ever mentions: From '91-'98 (retirement) he never lost 3 consecutive games. its something like 630 games. Also, he is 1 of 4 players to win both the regular season scoring title, and the Finals. He did this 4 times, which is more times than all of the other players combined.

Lesson'd Burn

Well lets see... I remember distinctly when I was in 4th grade while Bron was still in HS and he was driving an H2 Hummer.. lol.. believe me; whatever hardships he faced in his childhood were nullified by the amount of money and adoration he's received since age 15 and up.

Lesson'd Burn

No one is lauded for losing more than Lebron!!!!! Stop it Shannon. How about the Magic team that Lebron lost to....or the Bulls teams he beat? How many hall of famers or all stars? Shannon at this point is just there to act as a propaganda machine for Lebron. Both are disingenuous liberal woke negros. Shannon just up there lying lol

And my guy how can u say jordan came onto a team of base heads but then say he came onto a good team? In his first 5 years he played with absolute crackheads doing jackshit in the league… you can’t average 32-37 ppg and be a 2-way juggernaut/1 man show while having a solid team, and not make it out the first or second round in your first three years at the very least. If he came onto a good squad, they would’ve made the finals twice in the 80’s. Scottie took two years to even do shit as well

Wow can’t say the same for jordan?😂😂😂how can u compare a first stint to an entire career. One guy left the other stayed.

Batman is a better superhero than Superman.

I understand where you coming from bro I agree with Mount Rushmore except I would change Ali with Floyd Mayweather Jr because where he took the sport to a whole new level and how hard it is to replicate what he did.

What you're saying is wrong. Bron had a squad around him the last 2 years on his first Cavs stint. They were the best team in the East. The Cavs were heavy favorites in 2009 against the Magic in the conference finals and heavy favorites against the 2010 Celtics in the 2nd round. So that's a myth. He just lost.

X-man

The Bulls Jordan was drafted to were worse than the Cavaliers Lebron was drafted to in terms of damaged franchises

Speaking of the 07’ finals how come I never see anyone mention how poorly Bron played 22ppg on 35% 69% from the ft line and over 5 turnovers a game? I understand it’s his first finals against a better team but it’s not like they got blown out either they lost by an average of like 5 points so who knows what could’ve happened if Lebron brought his A game or better.

Just the fact that Bron fell apart against JJ Barea kills any legit arguments people can make. This was a dude who people laud as this huge physical specimen in LeBRON…..and how he has to face legitimate defenders and MJ went up against substitute teachers. JJ Barea is a damn used car salesman and had Bron scared

Lmao what privileged atmosphere did Jordan entered? Playing on a team with a bunch of crackheads? And it’s funny how you bring up Magic, Bird and Tim Duncan. Those guys went to their teams and instantly elevated the team and won championships their 1st and 2nd year in the NBA. Larry Bird turned a 29 win team into a 61 win team made it to the ECF and lost to the 76ers. We know Magic won the championship in 1980 was FMVP. Duncan won a championship 1999 and was FMVP. We hear about LeBron getting swept in the 2007 finals (ad nauseam). But people rarely if ever bring up what those guys did their first couple years in NBA. Bill Russell along with those guys are the only players in NBA history to have come into the NBA and won right away (championships). And it wasn’t because they came into the greatest atmospheres they clearly were the difference.

Respectfully, We have to be fair to LeBron, we have to stop shaming players who don't have this ancient fossil build with one franchise state of mind, if you are a Jordan or a Duncan type of player who wants to stay on one team... cool, but we have to understand some players don't come into a privileged atmosphere like Duncan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, and Jordan later on.

Lol its ridiculous

Idk bout that. I mean technically you can...jordan and that team aint get no where til ~5+ years as well as lebron. Lebron didn't get to finals in east his first stint with "no help"...he wasnt scoring all the points just like jordan wasnt LOL...both was obviously the number 1 option being biggest contributors...but yeah then drops the cavs instead of contuining to build around one team (which credit to jordan he did that unlike lebron)... but yeah...goes to heat with all that talent brought together and his flame out that first heat finals was all time terrible.... etc etc know rest of the story...

The answer to that is, Its equal Jordan came to the bulls with a bunch of base heads, LBJ came in with a bunch of nobody's, I'll lean more towards LeBron because he had no help his first stint in Cleveland, Can't say the same for Jordan

I swear Skip is the only person.who doesn't kiss LeBron's ass but somehow Shannon thinks everybody is against the guy. 2 networks never say a bad thing about LeBron even when his team has played terrible this entire season
