NBA: Bill Laimbeer: 'There's no question I would take LeBron James' over Michael Jordan

[spursparker9]

There's no question I would take LeBron James. He can do more. Michael Jordan could score and make big shots and look spectacular at times with wild flying dunks, but LeBron can get you 18 rebounds, get you 15 assists or score 50 if he wants to. The triple threat that he poses is just phenomenal, and the size, he just physically dominates. It's impressive.

Look at what LeBron has in the Finals right now. Could anybody else in the world have led this team of role players to the Finals right now? I don't think so. Jordan could not have led this team to the Finals. LeBron came into the league knowing how to play basketball and involve his teammates. Jordan had to learn that, and they had to assemble some great teammates around him in order for him to win.

I would take LeBron for 42 and Jordan in the last 6 minutes if it's still a close game

Laimbeer probably thinks Reggie Bush and Craig Biggio are the greatest of their sports "But but but they can do so many different things"

Laimbeer can go ahead and build his team around James. All fun and games until Lebron passes Bill the ball with 5 seconds remaining

Bird was slow and unathletic so he must have sucked

The East was not as ty back in the day as it is now. So of course the best player in the NBA will take them to the Finals, no doubt about it.

But he also said..

And that is one of the reasons why The Warriors will win that series.

Jordan had 18 rebound games. Jordan had 15 assist games. A little less than James but he also had 11 8+ steal games to James's 0 or 111 5+ steal games to James's 32

Exactly. 80's to early 90's MJ was essentially a bigger Russell Westbrook but with elite fundamentals, focus and brain

I'll take Westbrook on his best night over James' best night

I'd take Mike, but you couldn't go wrong with either.
