Should comparisons to Jordan exist???

[Tyrant8RDFL]

I for one can not understand why anyone would compare someone to M.Jordan.

I just do not get it. I understand out of site out of mind, but Jordan is in a league all by himself. There should not be any comparison to him.

I guess many have forgotten how dominant Jordan was, and how great of a closer he was. MJ made the game look way to easy.

No one who plays today can be compared to the man, so why are they doing it?????

Do you agree, or do you feel there is someone that can be compared to M.J?

Here is a video to remind those who have forgotten MJ's skills.

I think you can make small comparisons. Like Kobe plays like Jordan. Or Lebron has a little of jordan in him. I don't like hearing he is better than jordan or he just as good jordan. In my opinion if jesus played basketball. You couldn't them on the same level.

I agree with you about Kobe, but help me out with the Lebron statement?

I see zero of Jordan in Lebron.

Thanks

Why are so many players compared to Jordan? To stir up controversy and get fans talking about the game. Hype like "he's the next MJ" gets people interested.

The answer to this is no....... should not exist. Even though Kobe is the closest player to Jordan that I have ever seen play, and only needs one more ring to match him.......I don't make that comparison any more. If not for D. Wade's Height, and having Iverson syndrome ,I'd give it to Wade. I don't see Jordan in LBJ's game at all. I see James Worthy in LBJ's game more so than Jordan. What I mean by Iverson Syndrome is.......He plays balls to the wall,gets to the rack and hits the floor hard often, and is injury prone. To Iverson's credit..... at lease he knows how to play hurt. P.S. Let A.I back into the NBA.

No, the comparisons should not exist. I could argue that, for as good as Jordan was for the league, he was also terrible for the league in many regards.

Yeah Hype is the word, The media did that with Kobe when he first came to the NBA, and Jordan was still Playing. V. Carter got some hype as well. The media does this and sometimes we forget who starts these things.

Jordan wasnt bad for the league, dudes need to be originals and the people out front need to be quiet about it and let players develop their own identity

its the quick fix microwave generation we're in now

MJ wasnt given stuff he earned the name he has
