Top dog pedigree aside, no one is confusing Michael Jordan for a top-flight talent evaluator.

This is old. I'll still contend that Lebron is now a better player. Kobe, though, is a far far far far far better winner, and that's the most important thing in any sport.

One month ago maybe two MJ would have been blasted on this board for going where he just went but now that James has taken his talent to Miami MJ is safe, on here.

Noooooo, one month ago, people, including most of the mass media, presumed LBJ had some stones...now it's quite obvious he does not.

He has enough stones to not give a shit what you think about him.

this is the man that took kwame brown #1 overall.
MJ is a great player, not a good scout. i'll still take LBJ's talent.
but like i've said before if you need to win a game in November, LBJ is the GOAT, in may and june, this is not the case...

MJ is just agreeing with what I've been saying for the past 2 years. Glad I got MJ to see the light...too bad a lot of posters didn't agree with me, but I turned out to be right all along.

its a little harder to judge to unknown talent compared to the best players in the world

Can we get a link to the Kobe-Lebron debates from earlier this season? haha I'm guessing there has been some flip-flopping among a certain group of fans

jordo, you are such a fucking dumbass troll..really reading your shit, you are desperate as hell.
I think EVERY cleveland fan on this thread has said lebron has better talent.
I thought lebron was the better player, even after what happened in the playoffs.
but now since lebrons bitch move, by taking the easy way out joining a stacked team in hopes to win a championship, instead of being the man on YOUR team and LEADING them to a championship, i have changed my mind, along with a lot of other cleveland fans. Because that is something Lebron will never do that kobe has.
Since you claim to be a basketball fan, please tell me who your team is..Oh wait, you have said on here multiple times that you do not root for any teams. So your fan argument is complete bullshit.

I never realized what a dick Jordo was until recently.
Despite my recent anger and frustration, I'll still take LBJ.

My original opinion was that Kobe was better because he had won something. Then I decided recently, based on the season James was having that his skill set had surpassed Bryant's. Now that we know what a gutless liar James turned into with regard to his quick departure to a team that could win him a Championship, I have changed my opinion to it's original status. You can't be the best if you are afraid to be a leader. Additionally, you can't be the best if you don't tell the truth. (Unless, of course, you are trying to be the best liar, and frankly, James probably did win that contest.)

I mean..i understand him leaving the cavs, they did nothing to keep him. I wouldnt have thought lesser of him if he went to the bulls, nets, or knicks. Its the fact that he joined the stacked team to take the easy way out. No matter how many championships he wins, his legacy will always have an asterisk next to his name.

I'm not a troll just a guy with an opinion. You have admit it is kind of funny how quick Lebron has gone from the G.O.A.T to a goat. I realize opinions will change, even more so now that he did Cleveland dirty, I just get a good laugh reading some of the old posts.Since you claim to be a basketball fan, please tell me who your team is..Oh wait, you have said on here multiple times that you do not root for any teams. So your fan argument is complete bullshit.
I'd say that if I had to pick a team I rooted for in the past it was the Suns because of their uptempo style. Now I would say I even more of a casual fan since Kerr tore them apart. I'm leaning towards the Knicks now.

Lebron is still the best player in the world. However, Kobe is the best closer.
