unbelievable players.
If i was to argue for Lebron i would say this.
1. The league is deeper, so night in and night out you're playing against better athletes than was MJ played against.
2. MJ didn't have to contend with GS, that is one hell of a super team and is probably better than the 80's Lakers or Celtics and much better than the Detroit teams. Earlier in his career he had to contend with the Spurs, not sure if they were as good as GS but they were the best coached team i've ever seen.
3. I don't think anyone would argue that Lebron is a superior athlete than MJ. LJ might be the greatest athlete i've ever seen in any sport when it comes to size, speed and explosiveness.
4. Aside from Miami has he ever had a lot of talent around him? Maybe 1 or 2 really good players but the rest...eh, not so much.
