LeBron James has made history by setting a record of a
current 7 game streak of 30+ points in one game. Ever since he has gone on this
unbelievable streak setting NBA records, many people believe James is as good
as or better than Michael Jordan.
LeBron
James started his career in high school and decided to skip college and go
straight to the pros. The Cleveland Cavaliers selected LeBron in the draft.
James immediately showed the world of what he was capable of. In fact, he was so
good he was nicknamed King James. The King decided to leave Cleveland and join
superstar Dwayne Wade in Miami. It turns out Bosh had a similar idea and the
three superstars got together to form the Big 3. Ever since LeBron came to
Miami the Heat have made it to the NBA Championships both times and have one
once against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Currently, LeBron is on a seven game
streak of 30+ points setting NBA records and is on his way to his third
straight NBA Championship appearance with the Miami Heat.
Michael
Jordan decided to go to college and even though he loved North Carolina, he
decided to go to rival school North Carolina State. North Carolina State
already had a few superstars there including James Worthy, who is currently an
NBA legend, and David Thompson, who was considered one of the best players
coming out of college, but wrecked his whole career with his off the court
baggage. Anyways, Jordan showed his team he could play by knocking down shots
and becoming a top scorer. North Carolina State fell out of favor with the
collegiate rankings when Worthy declared he was going to run in the NBA draft.
However, Jordan managed to pull his team up. He was knocking down shots getting
rebounds and throwing accurate, but powerful passes. The Chicago Bulls were in
luck when they drafted Michael Jordan. The Bulls were one of the worst teams
and Jordan and Pippen were the start of the comeback. Michael Jordan teamed up
with Scottie Pippen to surprise the league with a comeback. Michael Jordan was
known for his abnormally long hang time and was nicknamed Air Jordan. At the
end of Jordan’s career Rodman decided to jump on board. Dennis Rodman already
played against Jordan and Pippen when he played with the Detroit Pistons and
was known for his tough defense. Jordan ended up with six NBA Titles.
LeBron
and Jordan have a lot in common. They both are/were a part of a Big 3. (LeBron,
Bosh, and Wade and Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman) They both could slam the ball
very well. Each of them had a clutch factor. Both of them set NBA records.
However, Jordan has six titles and LeBron has one. You might say that Jordan
had his whole career to play for all six and LeBron has only had half a career.
Well then, give me a call when LeBron wins six championships.
