Detroit Pistons vs. Lebron James and Michael Jordan

LeBron James has drawn many Michael Jordan comparisons, from their breathtaking talent to their No. 23 jerseys.

Before Jordan became a champion, he was fodder for the Pistons in three straight postseasons.

Detroit eliminated Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals and in the conference finals the next two seasons. Jordan finally got past the Pistons in his seventh NBA season, in 1991 _ and one of the game's greats went on to win his first of six titles as a 28-year-old guard.

After ending Jordan's seasons, the Bad Boys won two titles in three trips to the NBA Finals. The current Pistons are hoping to send the 21-year-old James, in his third season, home en route to their second championship in three consecutive appearances in the finals.

James said he doesn't look at the Cavaliers' matchup against the Pistons in terms of him taking the same path as Jordan.

"But Detroit will be a team that, in order to get to the promised land, we'll have to beat because they're going to be around a long time, especially for the first part of my career," James said.

Joe Dumars has encountered both stars, first as leader of Detroit's "Jordan Rules" defense as a shooting guard, now as the Pistons' president of basketball operations.

"There are similarities the way things are set up now, but only for me," Dumars said. "These guys don't understand that parallel."

Thanks so much Pareng Pool Hustler for this,,,

Im an all-time Michael "Air" Jordan Fanatic fan,,,

I still remember his all time great moves and the rest is history,,,

But now I can see his Air apparent named Lebron James......

In my own opinion there should be no comparison between Lebron James and Michael Jordan. Sa opinyon ko po at sa aking tingin ay wala nang makakatulad sa mga nagawa ni Michael Jordan.

yah i cant compare, plus i see more of magic in lebron than jordan.. but if james played with the badboys d pa kaya ala pa TAJ eh. d na makaka drive yan oe he can do it but he better be ready to count his teeth afterwards. ibang klase sila rodman lembier mahorn pucha compare to them si rasheed at ben at puppys. d pa ata nag bibigyan si lebron ng pistons ata ah d ko matandaan 2lad ng ginawa ni haywood nung sa wizards.

[spirit]

they're both great athletes.

There might be similarities between the two, but they'll never be the same.

Jordan is Jordan, Lebron is Lebron. That's it.

i don't like lebron, there's us too much hype about him....

n di pa sha mature, maybe in 3 yrs or so il learn to like him....

n remember, dami naren nacompare to michael, and sa huli, wala ringnakapantay...

n one talent of jordan people tend to forget is that he's an awesome defender...maskilala lng kc sha for his offensive skills so people would overlook his defensive skills....

young lad, offered tons of money, he might someday turn into a kobe....

[chierockers]

I think LeBron James is a future superstar maybe next year he's gonna be even better the only thing that I think he needs to improve is he's shooting consistency.

Eto mga tol sa mga ndi pa nkakapanood nito ngttres c LeBron sa whole court lenght

LeBron's game is similar to Magic Johnson, not MJ. Although stats-wise, they may have something in common now, James has better instincts when it comes to passing the ball than MJ.

I just pity these young guns who enter the NBA like Kobe, Vince, Leborn etc coz people always compare them to MJ. Let Leborn be Lebron. Let Kobe be Kobe. MJ's time has passed and it's time people start moving on and accept that sooner or later, someone will duplicate, and ultimately surpass His Airness' feats.

pra skn ang more smlar ng ky jordan ay c D. wade..xa kc ang ngdadala s team nla... at xa ang unang nkakuha ng finals mvp... naunhan p nya ang k batch nyang pmasok sa nba n cla LBJ, carmello at yng iba p....

[jigz33]

there will only 1 MJ, 1 Lebron, 1 Dwyane W. sana un n lang ang isipin natin...

swerte lang talaga n malakas ung team ni wade. built to go for the trophy.... s tingin nyo kung si lebron ang nasa heat....

[Pool Hustler]

Muntik na matalo ng Cavs ang Pistons kanina! Sayang!

[Kal-El]

I see more "Jordan" in Kobe than in Lebron. With Lebron, I see more of a hybrid of Magic Johnson and Dominique Wilkins....

[UnGraTefuL SchoLaR]

Let Jordan be Jordan, let Lebron be Lebron...  Let EJ FEIHL take a vacation from basketball forever...

[Temujin Elixir Santos]

Nobody can be compared to His Airness! If there's someone... only the closest. LBJ could never be, Wade could never be, who else? Kobe, Vince? Nothing Compares his Airness!
