Heres a better question how would have Lebron faired in the era of the big guys80-90s.

LMAO! I think LeBron would've faired just fine with teammates like Jabar, Worthy, Cooper, Scott, etc. I admit this and I don't even like LeBron.

LeSteroid James still has a lot of work to do.

Yep. I don't see LeBron ending his career with 5 rings. However, LeBron has a lot of years left so it's a possibility. He can possibly catch Magic and Bird but he's got no shot at Jordan status.

FALSE

Lebron accomplished more than Jordan when Jordan was Lebron's current age.

He has a shot.

Kareem is greater than Jordan.

When Jordan had a mediocre crew he gets eliminated in the 1st round

When Kareem had a mediocre crew he gets to the finals.

It is so stupid and pointless to bring up age when talking Jordan and Lebron. Considering Jordan was entering the NBA as a rookie at the same age Lebron was a veteran.

Much more relevant to talk about what Jordan did in his first 10 years, compared to what Lebron did in his first 10 years. See if Lebron looks anywhere equal to Jordan after that.

got to go with Earvin, the intangibles seperate him easily IMO.magic is on that "mount rushmore" of players in the NBA.
