True
Jordan inspired his teammates to make a deep playoff run in 1994.
They learned a lot from him

Most of LeBron's "talent" is just being physically bigger than any of his compe ion and nothing else...

Daaaaaaamn
Why would MJ give a what Wade said about Lebron? If you're at the top, you don't concern yourself with petty things like low tier players commenting on 2nd best guys.
That was Shaq's only talent but it's not like big guys can normally move like point guards. When they can, it's a talent in and of itself. Shaq's ability to simply dribble and walk at his size far surpassed anyone else in the world his size. Add some footwork under the rim and the ability to actually run down the court and you have enough talent to matter.
Besides, it's not like MJ was 5'10". He was big in his own right, and his hands are bigger than Kawhi's. Give MJ Kobe's hands and make him the size of Kyrie Irving. Let's see how he does.
You might want to reconsider the size argument.
Shaq had a post game. LeBron has no post game, no jumper, no reliable 3 point shot. His only skill is that no one at his position is as big or as strong as he is. Who else at his position is 6'8, 250? Don't even act 6'4 220 and 6'8 250 are the same. LeBron is a damn tight end playing basketball and still doesn't dominate like he should.
Shaq's post game would be meaningless if he was the size of Zach Randolph.
The best player in the world, all because he's 6'8" and 250lbs. Who knew that's all you need?
At this point the ghost of MJ is so damn powerful I just dont see anyone surpassing him unless they win 7-8 championships in a row and remain undefeated in the finals. Growing up I really disliked MJ but I knew god damn right I was witnessing the most mentally tough individual in sports history next to Ali.
As a diehard Kobe fan some delusional part of me wished he could surpass MJ with 7-8 rings but once he lost in 2004 in the finals I knew it was over. Obviously he barely stood a chance to surpass him but even I knew you cant lose in the finals and surpass MJ unless maybe its your rookie year and you carried the team to the finals then that's a different argument.
Lebron's mental midget like state in numerous playoff runs including the 2011 finals is inexcusable. Look, no one is debating if he's top 10 anymore. He's just not #1 of all time. But he does stand a chance in winning 3-4 more rings POSSIBLY with that weak ass division called the ECF.
