Michael Jordan and LeBron James : 2 Eras, 1 Legacy
Michael Jordan. LeBron James. Who is better?
You can decide on that. Maybe it doesn't matter who is better. Maybe we would know who is better if they played against each other a lot. But Jordan played from 1984-2003 and James have been playing since 2003 and still is playing today. Michael Jordan drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the first round and being the number 3 draft pick in the 1984 NBA draft, took 7 years to win his first championship with the Chicago Bulls and overall won 6 championships (All with the Chicago Bulls). Lebron James drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round and the number 1 draft pick in the 2003 NBA draft, took 9 years to win his first championship with the Miami Heat and overall winning 4 championships (2 with the Miami Heat,1 with the Cleveland Cavaliers and 1 with the Los Angeles Lakers). Michael Jordan last game with the Chicago Bulls was June 14, 1998. A legacy and a dynasty (two separate three-peats) most likely will never be duplicated ever again. Michael Jordan last game in the NBA playing with the Washington Wizards was April 16, 2003. A legend that will never be duplicated. Lebron James is probably going to retire very soon and it's going to be sad when that day happens. Winning 4 championships with 3 different teams is not easy. Jordan and James both wear number 23, with Nike and had a Space Jam movie!
