It's hilarious reading these who's best from different era arguments. Only people who are old enough to have watched both eras should be able to state opinions. The author of the Rodman link is obviously, under 25 and/or a Heat fan.

As an older long time fan, I have no doubt the Jordan/Phil Jackson led championship teams would destroy the Heat. The Heat had to step up to beat the current Bulls who were missing three starters. Jordan's Bulls would have beaten the current injured Bulls team by 30 points every game.

Rodman's joking about James being "average" but James would have a hard time scoring if he was covered by Rodman for the entire game.

Lebron is good, best in the league right now easy, but Rodman brings up a good point, that he's doing it in a much less physical league. Lebron is averaging 25 points per game, whereas Jordan never had a playoff ppg average under 30, with ppg averages as high as 43, and with a lifetime postseason ppg average of 33.5! You look at it stat wise, Jordan was superior in every scoring capacity and success capacity. Lebron takes games off, how often did Jordan score under 20 points in a playoff game?? And it's not like Jordan didn't have anyone else around him either...

Two words: Hand Check

Jordan would have averaged a LOT more with today's rules.

Lebron is good, but the talent in the NBA isn't as strong as in the Jordan era.

I'd put Pippen right there with Lebron in terms of talent.

Jordan recently came out and said that his flu game was actually a food poisoning game.

LeBron is a flop!! Jordan or Pippen never had to resort to acting and drama shows, they Fn played ball not like this jag bag looking to get a foul every second. He should be given a oscar for his acting...

Lebron James mix - King of Flop - YouTube

He is a good player, just quit the BS and play like a normal guy! enough drama

How does the league not watch this bullshit and suspend him for acting like a fucking ******? More important how do his fans defend that type of behavior?
