                                                                   Did you know?

          Did you know during the game against the Orlando magic last Thursday Feb. 3, 2011 Lebron James put up 26 points in the first half of the game. When the game had ended the score was 104-100 but from my view point from what I heard Lebron James had put up 51 throughout the whole game that was close to breaking a record in a game. I mention this because Michael Jordan achieved this act by scoring 63 points in a game when he played for the Chicago Bulls and they played against the Boston Celtics. A quote was added from one of the players that played on the same team as Michael Jordan which was responded as this: “God disguised as Michael Jordan”, when he played. So substantially I see that there is a resemblance in the two players. These boys came here to play they have been recognized as leadings scorers and have been named rookie of the year there first season. First thing is first, we must set the table before they piled up the stats. Lebron is such a beast many forget that he just turned 22 years old in December. As most of you know Michael Jordan left North Carolina early to play for the Bulls at the age of 21 years old. Therefore, Jordan was a more mature and older player before he set foot on an NBA court. Lebron put his numbers and stats up with zero college experience and was 3 years younger than Jordan. Lebron James played 300 games in nearly four complete NBA seasons. His 300th game came on March 14th, 2007. Therefore, we will compare that with Jordan's first 300 games. It's worth noting Jordan missed much of his second year with an injury, therefore we dip into Jordan's fifth year when searching for his first 300 games. His 300th game was his 36th game of the 1988-89 seasons. Keep that in mind.
                                                                  
 

James vs. Jordan: Same jersey number, comparable stats in the first three years.

  1. i still believe jordan is the better player. more time to play the game the better he is than james. although james could have that slight chance of being better one day. but not today.
