Even though they come from different eras of the game, they often are compared to each other. That is because they stand out as some of the top players to ever play the game. They are without a doubt in the same company as NBA greats such as Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird and many more.

LeBron really is. Today’s sports fan obsesses over the art of arguing over things such as best team, best coach and of course, best player. The debate may even be most alive in the NBA. Basketball is very much a team sport, but it has the ability for one player to take over. That is why basketball fans like to compare great players of different times, like Jordan and James. This particular topic is almost the stepping stone for all other debates. These players are very often compared by sports media. For example, this Sports Illustrated article describes a scene in new movie “Bad Teacher” where the main character has a quick argument over LeBron and MJ with a student, “a teacher and a middle school student arguing about Michael Jordan and LeBron James. It is the truest sports scene I've seen in a long while. It's about me. I have become a grumpy old man, a bad teacher. I cannot even listen to the Jordan versus LeBron arguments” (Posnanski). It is also popular in the music industry. In the song “Sideline Story”, rapper J. Cole gave his stand on the popular sports debate, “But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan, twenty years, wonder who they gone say was more important. Both changed the game, came through and made a lane. Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same.” Clearly, this is not the first time the idea of comparing these great athletes has come
Throughout basketball history, there have been many amazing players to be a part of the NBA. The NBA, also known as the National Basketball Association, is not only the foremost men’s professional basketball league in North America, but is also widely considered to be the top-ranking men’s professional basketball league in the world. One of the most controversial topics in the history of NBA today is whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the best player to ever be a part of this association. James began his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and currently plays for the Miami Heat. Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls for most of his career; however, he played for the Washington Wizard’s from age 38 to 40. According to the New York Times, Jordan announced his retirement in Chicago on January 13th of 1999 (D8). Although LeBron James is one of the best players to be currently active in the league, Michael Jordan is known to be the best player in NBA history. Both player, without a doubt, have left a mark in the history of NBA, Michael Jordan, indisputably, is the best player to ever play in the NBA with his unstoppable defensive and offensive ability along with the determination and leadership he provided for his team.
Many have heard the name "LeBron" at least once due to his popularity among basketball fans and the basketball player's countless merchandise items. LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the most successful ball players in the game today. The 6'8" 250Lbs Cleveland Cavalier Forward has always had a talent for basketball
Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are two of the most explosive players in the NBA today. Each player has his own playing style that separates him from the rest of the league. Both players have their own career achievements, endorsements, and personal life stories behind the game. If you ask anybody, the comparison between these two players is great. It is a never ending debate between who is better because both players have something different to bring to the table. Side by side on paper, both players seem dominant and may one day end up in the basketball hall of fame. But as individuals, side by side, each has a different but similar life.
Michael Jordan is considered to be the most iconic person in sports history. Since 2002, Lebron James has been compared not only to be the next Michael Jordan but also having the potential of being a better basketball player than him. Some basketball fans might agree and some might disagree, but at the end of the day everyone will have their own opinion of who is better than whom. Lebron James and Michael Jordan do have many things in common even though they play different positions in the national basketball association. They both can dominate the court with their leadership, their skills, and their strength. Surprisingly, there are just as many differences as there are similarities between the
Michael Jordan is arguable the best basketball player who ever played the game. A phenomenal athlete with the unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. The thing that separated Jordan from the rest of the all-time greats was his compulsive need to win. Jordan was and is still known for his intense competitiveness and will to win, but that has not translated to his ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats.
When looking at Jordan and James’ fame, they are both equally popular, but it is how they handle the fame that sets them apart. Jordan is a class act, meaning he carries himself with honorable pride, not vanity. After Jordan signed with Nike his game only got better. He never felt as if he was too good for improvement and showed everyone great respect. James differs after he signed with Nike, his game flat-lined. He never showed any kind of improvement in his game, and his team never got any better. It seemed like he only tried when he had the ball, especially when his team was getting blown out.
Firstly, Michael Jordan’s whole entire career was incredible. All those years of him soaring through the air slamming the basketball ball with absolute authority, and owning the rim. He took controlled of the game basketball with acrobatic drives at the rim that defy the laws of
Lebron James, the first pick taken in this year’s draft, may be the prototype for an athlete having immediate fame and wealth by jumping straight to the NBA. Almost undoubtedly, he has set the bar for years to come. Before he even played in an actual NBA game, he already had his own commercial and shoe deals. When he was a senior in high school, ESPN and ESPN2 were already publicizing his regular season games whenever they had the chance. Amazingly, as a junior in high school, he was already being considered the next Michael Jordan (Broussard).
In Regarding Henry the main character Henry is a harsh lawyer in New York. Henry tends to use his id mostly in his occupation. He is very blunt and rude to his wife and daughter. It is almost as if he doesn't have a superego before his injury. After his injury, Henry is a totally changed man. He is super nice and caring for others and always wants to be with his daughter.
Also Michael has done some crazy things players like Lebron James only dream of doing. He had 10 triple doubles in 11 games when the Bulls put him at point guard but he then went back to shooting guard because it is more comfortable for him. He has the highest. He has the most 30 point playoff games with 109 and when Jordan made it to the finals the Bulls won the championship every single time. In his last finals game ever the Bulls trusted him so much that he was the only person on the Bulls to even touch the ball in the last 40 seconds and hit a game winning shot. Also in every full season that he
Many people think of two men when the question of who the best NBA player is of all time. Some may say Michael Jordan, and some may say Kobe Bryant. They are both insanely good and their statistics are extremely similar, but the statistics lean more towards Jordan. This is why Michael Jordan is better than Kobe in the sport they both love and care for dearly.
LeBron James plays the small forward position and stands at 6 foot 8 and weighs 250 lbs, and Stephen Curry plays the point guard position and stands at 6 foot 3 and weighs 190 lbs. LeBron James has played 13 season and Stephen Curry has played 7 seasons. Obviously LeBron James’ stats are going to be higher for the most part because he has played longer, but I want to compare and project who is going to be better at the end of their careers and who’s better now. Granted, both players play different position so they have to be judged on if they are better players overall. Although, both players are very qualified, one has to be better and that can be determined by aspects such as: offensive performance, defensive performance, championships and
Why should musicians and writers get all the credit of composing? Who deemed them the rulers of composing? Composing is typically defined as: to write or create (a work of art, especially music or writing); this is a very general definition of composing. The definition of composing should be expanded because so many people do things that should be deemed as composing, but go unrecognized and/or unappreciated. For example, upcylcling should be recognized as composing; some of the same processes those musicians and writers go through so do upcyclers. Instead of composing being just thought about as being only done by writers and musicians, it should be expanded to anything that goes through a thought out

When LeBron James was born, nobody would have guessed that he would have been the one to go all the way to the NBA and perform like he does. He has amazing talent and he knows how to use it.
