I hate when young people that never saw a single game of Michel Jordan on TV or something and talk like he is the GOAT.
Few youtube videos don't make an expert, keep that in mind. And enjoy watching Lebron, he will clearly pass the all-time scoring record, which is crazy.
Micheal Jordan's charisma and attitude i think separate him from Lebron James. I was lucky enough to watch Michael Jordan plays at his peak and watch the beauty of his plays.
Michael Jordan was a king among kings when the likes of Magic Johnson and Dominique Wilkens were playing up against him and the Chicago Bulls were a team going to the playoffs as Golden state are every year.
He wasn't very arrogant and always had a smile when he played.
He was a gentle giant on the court, and LeBron James is not.

Haters? lol.

You will not see the positive traits on the other side as long as you only looking on a single side. There are big differences about Michael Jordan and LeBron James nature and system during their time and for me, it's doesn't making sense to compare those. Why in the first place?

Just enjoy the game mate and appreciate greatness. Smiley

True.
Lebron have a different kind of game and he is not trying to mimic Michael Jordan that is why he became great in basketball. He won't be in that place and that kind of high salary if they see them as a shadow of one player.

Remember this. There are scouts in NBA and once they traced you it will be easy to make you fall by just learning how you play. Look what happened with Jeremy Lin. Scouted and down he go.

I wouldn't say that he is not arrogant and had always a smile. But MJ is different kind of animal inside the court and the fire inside of him to compete at high level is something to be awe with. Remember that MJ won 3 rings x 2 and he is playing with a lot of legends back then. Never see him choke at crunch time, on the contrary it bring  the best out of him. I still recall how he played when he was sick, and how his body is bang, but yet he continue to play and he made some players a household name and I'm sure that Kerr today as a coach have applied what lessons he learn from MJ and coach Phil Jackson. But I'm sure that Lebron will always be a legend as well, but yeah as you have guys been saying, different era's, different perspective.

There's no question about that. Whether you love him or hate him, lebron has been doing a lot of things that deserve's any basketball fan's respect. I'm not an lbj fan but i'd admit that the guy is playing above your average nba superstar and beyond.

LOL what's happening here? Guys don't debate on this thing, you can't compare orange to apple. LJ and MJ aren't on the same era so you just have to appreciate their greatness and LJ will soon become a legend too.
LJ is already a legend if we do see those stats he already reached out those numbers which can really be considered to be one of the best but in my part he hasn't still achieve on the charisma on where MJ do have but I agree on what people do said above which theres no really need to argue or to compare since each one of us do really have different perceptions and likings into a certain player.Comparison is there but both players are really on different era. MJ has retired and now we are seeing LJ heading to that spot too.
Others might not understand why I said that he's going to be a legend soon. They are telling that a player becomes a legend if he doesn't play anymore but base on his stats as you mentioned, yes he can be considered as legend already.

You are right, you cant compare LJ and MJ because they were in different eras, but you cannot compare the defense and the amount of skilled players that there are in the League now and the players that were playing back when MJ played, Lebron had it worst in my opinion, MJ changed the game completly, but Lebrons strenght would have been a huge problem back then. In my opinion you cant compare eras, but this era was way thougher than when MJ played.

Sunday's bets

Denver Nuggets - Milwaukee Bucks - handicap -4.5:4.5    Denver Nuggets     - 4.50   1.85
Portland Trail Blazers - Memphis Grizzlies - Asian handicap (first half)    Portland Trail Blazers  - 8.50 1.82   
Minnesota Timberwolves - Utah Jazz - how many points in game?    Over 207.5   1.89   
Denver Nuggets - Milwaukee Bucks - Asian handicap (first quarter)    Denver Nuggets        - 1.50   1.93   
Not a good day for you mate, you only won one bet, the one I highlighted.
Sometimes games does not result based on our expectation, but one thing I notice on your bets is that the odds are very low considering the point spread
does not really give you a bigger advantage to win. I realize based on my experience that low odds are gonna kill us if we continue to bet games with low odds, now, I bet higher odds like 2.00 to 2.10, same result but at least my loses decreases.  Grin
Yes, I did not succeed in NBA, in fact I do not believe in chance, I did not do good analysis. I will work well tonight, if I can not be 75% success, I will get away from NBA xD

When MJ dominates the league he really get all the attentions, so it's really hard to compare this two superstars, they have their own era of domination
but just like what you have said, MJ's charisma and attitude separate him from LJ,  everything can be answered in different perspectives from each individuals who idolized this two players.

Warriors SG/SF Patrick McCaw bad fall against Sacramento. McCaw is a good contributor for the Warriors but for sure after that fall he might be out for this season. A lot of people says that it was a dirty play for Vince Carter, as he extends his shoulder trying to defend McCaw. It was a scary fall but I hope its not that serious. Warriors is now facing a lot of injuries this year, Steve Kerr must adjust again for the Playoffs.

Cavs can still win, the playoffs experience will give them the advantage, now that Thompson and Love are playing plus they have
great addition, I think they are better this season compared to last season although they only did will when playoffs is nearing.

Are you sure of that?maybe they have experience in play off but the way i see it its totally different.They are struggling to win this last games.if Lebron can make mistake or even choking in the first half then they got into trouble.


Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise if they fall to 4th place because their first round opponent will be the 5th seed so that will be an easy task for them. Don't mentioned Lebron choking, that's one of his weaknesses and that is why many hate him for being a choker. hahahha. But let us see, fun to watch him still play high level of basketball at his age and do hope that the Cavalier will improved with Love and Tristan back in the line up.

Good thing the Los Angeles Clippers got rid of Blake Griffin when they did. Cause he got injured just yesterday.
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/3/30/17181184/detroit-pistons-playoff-picture-disappoint
They saved themselves in paying him out for the rest of this years salary(cause they paid him $5 million just for sitting on the bench since the beginning of the season anyways Embarrassed ), so they let the Pistons take that on instead.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidberri/2018/02/01/blake-griffin-was-traded-with-just-weeks-to-spare/

Oh well, I think they didn't saw that Blake with be injured that's why they traded him. The decision boils down the the team needed some changes that's why they have to let go of their 2 top players. (CP3 and Blake).

In the end, its just business and nothing personal, but yeah maybe they got lucky of offloading him at the right moment and that's too bad that he got injured and hope that he can recover soon.

Really interesting in the West though. We still don't know we will in the playoffs specially in the 4th-8th spot.
76ers still have a chance to beat the Cavs for that 3rd spot. Cavs have been struggling lately but its going to be really interesting once the Playoffs start. A lot of expectations for Lebron but this time hes by himself, hopefully Kevin Love can get back to that level he had before, because they will need all the help now that Kyrie is gone.
Cavs can still win, the playoffs experience will give them the advantage, now that Thompson and Love are playing plus they have
great addition, I think they are better this season compared to last season although they only did will when playoffs is nearing.
