The fact that James made a point of not only showboating in front of MJ but staring him down while he did it shows who's still the best and that even James knows it. And as far as off the court demeanor is concerned, one would be hard pressed to find a bigger prick than MJ, so I'm not saying this out of some personal affinity for Jordan, because frankly, I don't have one. MJ's HoF induction speech pretty much killed what little respect I still had for him as a person at that point.
And the only reason MJ didn't go 8-0 in NBA Finals is because of MJ. But I'm sure Hakeem and Clyde appreciated MJ stepping aside for two years to go play "baseball fantasy camp."

Lebron's legacy hasn't been fully written yet. So any talk of who's greater and all that is still early.
I forgot to include Tim Duncan: 5-1 in NBA Finals....came pretty damn close to 6-0 though.

Leaves Miami to try and find somewhere better to win a title. Gets criticism.
Opts in, collects a ton of money. Gets criticism.

Sounds like James is a better all around player than Jordan.
So why has he lost the majority of championships?
Inferior supporting cast?

I would say those Bulls Teams were better than any of LeBron's teams...no?

By the way I'm not claiming LeBron is the greatest player ever, or that he's surpassed MJ. I'm just saying he's putting himself in the conversation.
Of course in my opinion Wilt will always be the greatest player. Look at the numbers he put up. Mind boggling. Plus he's got a record that can never be broken. That being in his entire NBA career he never once fouled out of a game. Imagine that leading the league in blocks and not once in an entire career fouling out!

Sounds like stat wise Chamberlain is the best player in history.

The NBA changed the rules to contain Wilt. Not too many other people can say that. Mel Blount and...?
Seems to me they put in the Restricted Zone rule particularly to allow Shaq to plow over people for dunks without drawing charging fouls instead of forcing him to learn to fucking shoot. But that was an example of a rule change to help a player, not hinder him, so it's completely different...

LOL, the same guys who called Lebron a traitor are now welcoming him back with open arms

James will come across as a good guy for going back to Cleveland. I can't see any other motivation for leaving one of the best cities in the US and going to an undesirable place. Maybe he will keep his Florida residency to offset income taxes.

Johnny football AND Lebron Basketball in one town. Cleveland must be an up and coming city.

Cleveland sports fans' heads must be collectively exploding from such stardom being in their city.

Lebron signed a two-year contract.
He'll be back in Cleveland...but not for long.
