There is a sizable percentage of sports fans who steadfastly believe that Lebron James will never be as good as or better at basketball thanย Michaelย Jordan was. Note, I didnโ€™t say โ€œbelieve that Lebron Jamesย is currently as good as or betterย than Michael Jordan.โ€ No, these people believe that Lebron is completely incapable of ever reaching that status. There is literally nothing he can do to change their minds.

The reasons for this belief vary. Some provide factual arguments.ย (Jordan never lost in the NBA Finals. Lebron has already lost twice.)ย Some prefer to craft their arguments around style/aesthetics. (Jordanโ€™s game was more graceful and seemed a bit more refined than Lebronโ€™s.) Some even get caught up in selectiveย nostalgia.ย (The faultiest argument, these are the type of people who discount anything that happens now because things were โ€œbetterโ€ back in the day.)

The most common argument, though, is based on something thatโ€™s both completelyย intangible and completely true: Jordan was, by all accounts, an uber-competitiveย asshole whoโ€™d cut his own motherโ€™s throat to win a hand in spades. Lebron, by all accounts, is competitive enough, but not nearly asย competitiveย as Jordan.

And, the argument states, since heโ€™s not that type ofย competitorโ€”since he doesnโ€™t have that sameย killer instinctโ€”heโ€™ll never be able to match or exceed Michael.

At this point, you might be wondering why Iโ€™d include Beyonce in the title of a piece comparing Michael Jordan to Lebron Jamesโ€ฆ
