Why Lebron James is better than Jordan

Call me crazy but  Lebron James is a better player now than Michael Jordan was 6 years in his career. In his six season in the league, king james is the best player in the league hands down.  Look at what the guy is doing this year in the playoffs averaging a staggering 33.7 points on 55 percent shooting, with 10 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and just 1.4 turnovers a contest in 38 minutes. 2.1 steals a contest, and five blocks in seven Cleveland wins. Its only two words that can describe James performance "Simple Amazing" At the young age of 24 Lebron James is undoubtable the face of the nba. Dont get me wrong its some incredible players in the league such as Kobe Bryant, Dwayne wade, Dwight Howard just to name a few, but none of them can do the things lebron James is doing right now in his young career. At 6 years in the league Michael Jordan average an amazing 36.4 ppg on 51 percent from the field, 6.8 rpg and 7.2 apg in the playoffs. The numbers are pretty much the same but its one place that gives Lebron the edge, and its a big one. The bulls only won 55 games that year and lost in the conference finals 4-3 to the Detroit pistons. On the other hand lebron's team the cavs won 66 games this year a franchise record and two impressive sweeps over the pistons and the hawks, and whats even more impressive is that the cavs won every game by double digits. Once again i say "Simply Amazing" and the playoffs is not even over yet. The cavs are just sitting at home resting and awaiting the winner of the celtics and magics series, after finishing thier series against the hawks tonight. Very impressive.



I know many of you is thinking that kobe bryant is better than lebron james and those who are saying that has alot of reasons to say that. But i assure you that 6 years in the league kobe wasn't even close to doing the things lebron is doing now 6 years in his career. James was the youngest to score 5000 points and the yongest to score 10000 points. Not only has this guy been shattering records but he brought his team all the way to the finals his his third year in the league. They got swept by the spurs, but assure you that James was just arriving. Jordan third year in the league he was watching the finals at home, sure the bulls made the playoffs that year but they was swept in the first round.

At this point in his career Lebron James has accomplish more than Michael Jordan did in his six season in the league. James won his first of many MVP award this season, at the same age Jordan did when he won his first MVP award. Sure their will never be another Jordan and some might argue that one can't compare Jordan and James because they play complete different style of game. But i say yes i can, they both wear #23, Jordan was the face of the nba and James is the face of the nba. But its deeper than stats, Lebron James has earn more money at this point in his career than Jordan did his sixth season in the league. Teams are clearing up cap room for the summer of 2010 aka the summer of James, the year he becomes an free agent. they are doing it just for James, thats the impact this guy has on the nba at just 24 years old. It's just plain and sipmle James is a better player now than Jordan was at this point in his career.
