Pippen favorably compared James to his running mate on six Chicago Bulls NBA championships teams during ESPN2's Mike and Mike in the Morning Friday.

"Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play the game. I may go so far as saying LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game," said Pippen, surprising even co-hosts Mike Greenberg and Chris Broussard.

Too soon on Lebron.

I would vote no, but I don't like the choices for no above.

The poll is just there to express the hate hate hate!

From a serious standpoint though, LBJ is indeed more all around than MJ, especially on passing and the transition game. As the postseason shows he can also play serious defense. However, his jump shot needs more consistency and he doesn't have the MJ killer instinct. If he gets more rings before he retires there could be a serious argument.

But, one thing is undeniable: MJ by being a superstar drove the ratings way up. LBJ drove the ratings way down since everybody hates to see him win

Sinoball is it just me, or all the options in the poll are dissig "Lebulls Killah"?

no matter what we vote, the result will be teh same. Mate you have you consider a career on marketing? I think a company like Coca Cola would love to have you skill.

let's see how you can convince people that Coke Zero and Diet Coke are not se same Scheiße

But, one thing is undeniable: MJ by being a superstar drove the ratings way up. LBJ drove the ratings way down since everybody hates to see him win

humm. is that how you see it? every likes some drama mate, if anything Lebron made this season more interesting top watch with all the whining and scrutinity and all that.

Gimme some soap'pera !!!!!!

Is Pippen on something? He played side by side with Jordan, they were good friends (at least apparently) and he now makes a comparison like this? Beats me.

[Saskibaloia]

Let's ...

Let's just wait after 10 years ... then we'll see that LeBron James is in the Top 10 of All Time ... but definitely not better than Mikey ... KING JAMES is still homie though!!!

[dxjayrock2008]

If Queen James failed to win a title in Miami, he has no reason to compare himself to The Great One(Michael Jordan). Lol.

Lets just say that MJ never sign with a team that has already an establish superstar... and MJ didn't abandon Chicago... James just did both does things... such a shame...

[seigle42]

no, too far because he with dwayne wade & chris bosh

[Lebron23]

I think LeBron is going to surpass Kobe in the next three years, But I don't think any player will surpass Jordan. Kobe won his first NBA Finals MVP in his early 30's, and he still couldn't shoot over 43% from the field despite playing with a bunch of talented bigmen. Just look at Kobe's stats in the NBA Finals. He only shoot over 50% from the field againts the 2002 New Jersey Nets. Even Wade and LeBron put up better numbers againts a great defensive team like the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. I think LeBron is going to have better Finals performance this year compared to Kobe's last 2 NBA Finals performance.

[C"TG"D22]

Scottie said that? Wow, well, Kobe is not on par with MJ, and will most likely never become better then MJ. LeBron will be remembered as being better then Kobe, but he will not be remembered as the equal of Michael Jordan. Michael was one of a kind, he dominated the game mentally as he did with his talent, Michael can perhaps be matched by Talent, but not by Basket Ball IQ.

actually you are totally wrong on this one.

Here:s a real proof (not just some seach on google) that Lebron hatred has contributed to NBA's prise in popularity

popularity poll shows LeBron James decline has boost NBA - ESPN


The numbers are up across the board for the NBA, and LeBron is the reason

[dwayneL]

Michael Jordan will always be Michael Jordan and Lebron can't be compared to him though he's also a great player. Today the Finals already began and Miami showed some power to defeat Dallas but it's not only because of Lebron James his team mates did a great job specially the captain wade. The Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat hold the home-court advantage. If you want to get your hoop on with this National Basketball Association Finals schedule and a glance at these titans of the court. I found this here: Heat vs. Mavs: Here is the 2011 NBA Finals, newstype.com. It will surely be a great battle between two great teams.

If Queen James....

It's el Duque.
