Lebron James is 1000x better than Michael Jordan

The Thunder are a dominant Western powerhouse?    1 Finals appearance in their history and dominant?  

youre real clever talking in retrospect..i guarantee you that you had them winning the title that year,just like everyone else that installed them as favourites...real smart trying to down-talk them now.

so yes,at full strength,even with a retarded coach,they ARE a western powerhouse...check the best regular season records over the past 4 years of all teams in the league and get back to me on where the thunder rank.

jeez,people are quite slow mentally round here arent they??....so you dont understand that losing one of your absolute superstars,2 of the top 5 players in the entire league,during playoff runs for the past 3 years has a CRITICAL effect on your chances of winning the west or better??

theyre one of the elite teams in the west for a period of 5 or so years now end of story....if youre too dumb to see that i dunno wat to tell you.

Another thing about the Jordan/Lebron debate.  Jordan was always my favorite player when I was younger, and I was obsessed with him like most kids were at the time.  The most amazing player in the clutch of all time.  However, I always wondered how Houston with Hakeem, Clyde, younger Horry, Cassell, Mario Elie and Kenny the Jet Smith would have done against Jordans Bulls if Jordan had never retired to play baseball.  I always give the edge to the Bulls but I think it would have been his toughest match-up.  One thing that people rarely talk about is how Lebron has never had an elite coach since he has been in the NBA which in reality is huge.  Say what you want but Jordan didn't win a Championship without Phil Jackson.  Lebron has never had anything close to a Phil Jackson.  If you think elite coaches don't matter look at who has won the last 30 Championships and who their coaches were.  The only real semi-elite coaches to win outside of Spoelstra with Lebron, is maybe Carlisle with Dallas.  The rest is all Phil Jackson, Chuck Daly, Greg Poppovich, Pat Riley, Larry Brown, Rudy, Rivers...Consider that Jackson and Poppovich have won 16 of the last 25 Championships and consider if Coaches matter.  People always argue that Bird, Jordan, Magic all stayed on their same teams, and would never leave their City.  At that time Free Agency was much different and also they never had a reason to leave their city outside of Jordans first couple years.  However, Jordan got an elite team 5 to 6 years in to his time with the Bulls, you can't say what he would or wouldn't have done if he didn't get an elite team though.  You can't say that because your not him, and that's not what happened to Bird/Magic/Jordan.  My point is, Lebron is the first to win a Championship in 30 years with a Coach like Spoelstra, and he did it twice.  Bosh/Dwayne were not very elite in their time that Lebron played with them, certainly not Pippen who is a top 50 player of all-time, on offense and defense.  Rodman, who yes had zero offense but was the best rebounder of all time and Jackson who is the best Coach of all-time.  Jordan is the best ever, however Lebron James does certain things better then Jordan and vice versa.  Who cares whos better, Lebron is the best in the NBA right now...they are different players who played in different eras, that's all.  Jordan would be killed in the media these days for gambling during the playoffs, punching his own teammates and traveling to games alone of with his own friends.  Especially considering that outside of Lebron making one decision to go play in Miami, he has been followed his entire career since he was 15 and when do you ever hear a story of him getting into trouble off the court ever?  Nobody gives him credit for that.... 

huh??am i guaranteeing sumthing hypothetical??...ah,no i cant see into the future and in particular i cant see into an imaginary future predicated on a conditional statement about sumthing that never occured...are you on drugs,asking a dumb as.s question like that??...nothing is guaranteed idiot,it just improves your chances exponentially if your 2 studs dont break down every post season...duh..

no,during the playoff portion of the season they were NOT healthy/available for 6 seasons,not even close...but then ive already pointed that out previously and yet you just seem to wanna ignore it.....westbrook,durant(and then ibaka for a stretch also)have hardly been together for a full playoff run the past 3 seasons.

this is like smashing your head against a brick wall..

they WERENT "so successful" primarily cos of injuries at crucial times...thqats why they fired him..and doesnt it say sumthing for how good they were that they enjoyed such regular season success(and 2 very good post season runs also)with a retard for a coach??...shows just how talented their roster is that they cud win so much just on individual ability of players and basically no coaching and no system.

well,the bulls are one of the top 3 or 4 teams even with rose being injured,consistently over the past few seasons...but thats in the east so it dont count for a whole lot.

So if your two studs breakdown every post season you can't be considered a powerhouse right?  duh.  Isn't durability important if you are to be considered a powerhouse?   Not that hard to figure out.  Putting the Thunder into a conversation with the Spurs is ridiculous.  

When did I call Jordan a little kid?  I said, Jordan always was my favorite player when I was a kid.  Learn how to read....

Also, your a Patriots fan so it doesn't surprise me that you criticize other people without making any valid points yourself.  Take that cheater off as your idol, everyone sees through his bullshit now.  Go spy on some other teams practices and deflate balls on purpose.  Whatever it takes to win though, Right?  If only all our cities owners were former best friends with the commissioner we could all get a pass on being cheating fool....If nothing was so bad on the tapes of 8 years worth of you guys taping other teams practices, then why did Goodell have to get rid of the evidence so quick?

 

Nah...
