BS Lebron has not surpassed MJ in any way. But I would be interested in hearing why you think this in specifics.

By the way my buddy and I always argued about who was better Dr. J or Bird. He took Bird. I liked Dr. J better so took Dr. J. We argued box scores every day (following each game at least). I never admitted Bird was better but he was in my opinion. But Dr. Js hair was better.

I like Durant a lot. Liked him in college as well. I take no issue with him closing the gap on Lebron.

Stats are stats and that's fine .... they show a lot. but they don't show everything. there are a lot of variables you can't capture with box score. That said in my Dr. J/Bird example it even made me more wrong LOL

Maybe I should call him and let him know he was right all along and I knew it.

I am a big fan as well. Unfortunately until they get rid of Westbrook and hire a real coach I do not think he has a chance of winning a championship.

Speaking of variables....

I think this argument also just goes back to coaching and luck....Does MJ win 6 without Phil or Kobe 5? Does Bird win more with better coaching and fewer injuries to key players? Does Magic win 5 without Riley? Actually Magic should probably only have 4 because the Pistons got hosed in their 1st finals against the Lakers. Not that I didn't hate the Pistons but they were a damn good team.

Can't argue with any of that and that enters the smith sanders debate too. And of course it can go the other way... Does Jackson have so many without kobe or MJ. Does bele have them without Brady etc. In the case of Jackson I'd say probably not as many but he'd sure have his share. Then again .... he got to the point he could pick and choose when and where he went based on players.

I met bill murray once (for like 2 minutes) he was sort of a jack ass but not as bad as Dennis Miller was.

Jackie Moon is probably the best basketball player ever and it's not even close.

Lebron had the menstrual cramps in game one. I guess he'll stub his big toe or sumpin in game two.

Won't happen but I would like to see the Spurs sweep them!
