That's just common sense. Anybody who has watched these two play in their careers know that they are on completely different levels. But sure, credit to you for not being such a hater that you believe something absolutely ridiculous.

You, on the other hand... I have never seen you say even a remotely bad thing about LeBron or a good thing about Kobe. Who's the one not being objective?

I've said plenty both ways about both. When there are so many irrational haters of LeBron, though, my rational side leads me to defend him more often than not.

Let me be clear about something... you are putting LeBron in the same conversation as MJ from a playoff performance perspective.

I haven't done anything of the sort. Even the stats (which suggest LeBron is the 3rd best playoff performer of all time so far) don't put him on MJ's level in the playoffs. He has to do more in that realm to get there obviously.

Yeah, that's a really fair argument for you to make, given that MJ played 3 years at North Carolina.

I'm not sure how MJ playing in college changes the fact that LeBron is ahead of where MJ was at his age in both team success and statistical dominance. That may be one of the reasons why, but the reason is largely irrelevant. The fact that he is is what's important. And you don't seem ready or prepared yet to acknowledge it.
