The Lebron and MJ debate is a never ending topic. It can never be proven who will be better.

I think it can be. Generally, most people now have short attention spans and love to go with what is "in" and "hip" for the moment.

LeBron is hot. He's good. We get it. But, there is no way he's even on the same page as MJ. And heck, the "closest" to MJ was that silly argument with Beef just as recently as 2-3 years ago and what is he now? Chopped liver?

Even if Kobe or Lebron wins 6 or 7 in todays watered down NBA its not the same accomplishment there playing against a lot of inferior talent a bunch of 1 and dones from college and earlier in there careers a bunch of guys straight out of high school who never lived up to their potential that are mostly out of the league now. Like I said before at least 25% of the players in the NBA now wouldn't have made a roster back then.

While it is hilarious, it's not like us naysayers are telling the the LeBron fans that he sucks (well, I still do in how he played the free agency game), cuz he doesn't. He's a future HoF and arguably in the Top 5 of all-time players.

But, to be better than MJ after only 2 Titles and playing in an era with very different rules is IMO, lacking proper analysis and study and is kinda a knee-jerk reaction versus looking at Jordan's body of work throughout his career.

Now, seriously. What can my Bulls do to even have a chance to take down the LeHeat?

A healthy Rose is a start. But, is amnestying Carlos the next step...?

I think the Bulls in thier current form hit their ceiling 2 years ago they need to make some changes.

So, any followers of the Celtics who can talk more about feud between Rivers and Rondo? What's the deal?

I just read that Rivers wanted to have a fistfight with Rondo?

^ Well rumor has it that Rondo is widely considered "un-coachable". Basically he has a sh*tty attitude towards authority. But of course, that's according to Chris Broussard's sources, so take it with a grain of salt.

Also, just drove past that ridiculous sign asking D12 to stay in LA... I mean really? Are we turning into Cleveland/Orlando?

If that sign said "Good Riddance" it would be more accurate D12 is a crybaby and will cause problems everywhere he goes. He's not worth a max contract but will likely get one check out the graphic in this story comparing him to Shaq, Hakeem and Ewing.

I hope one day the Lakers meet the team D12 goes to in the NBA Finals or WCF and we crush them. If by small chance he stays he better just STFU.

IIRC, KG has a no-trade clause & has to agree to the trade.

But, I don't know why any team would be willing to make the offer Boston wants for him. 1 or 2 players & a pick or something sure, but 6 players & 3 picks for him & Pierce?

Are these teams forgetting how old Garnett is? He's only got 2, maybe 3 seasons left in him. And this is all after a few months ago about him possibly retiring or with Jason Terry saying that the team didn't want to leave the Playoffs in a way that might disappoint KG.

Well it's only been 3 years and they've been in the Finals all 3 and won 2 of them. What's so atypical about a national publication embellishing a little? They want to sell these right? And are we still talking about the team's pep rally that everyone else jumped on?
