NBA: LeBron vs. The Turkish Michael Jordan

Found May 26, 2009 on Sheridan:
PLAYERS: Michael Jordan

Friday night LeBron James moved a chapter closer to basketball immortality with a game-winning three-pointer that rocked Cleveland, shocked Orlando and evened the series at 1-1. With one second remaining on the NBA Game 2 Eastern Conference Finals timepiece, James waged hand-to-hand combat versus the Turkish Michael Jordan, Hedo Turkoglu, and managed to briefly get free for a three-pointer at the top of the circle. With Turkoglu's outstretched hands in his face, James received Mo Williams pass and launched his perfect parabola to stake a claim to be the rightful heir to Michael Jordan.

Lebron James = Michael Jordan circa 1989

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  May 27, 2009
One of the first sports books I ever read was "The Jordan Rules" by Stan Smith. One of the main features of the book was a philosophy by Detroit Pistons head coach Chuck Daly (RIP) on the best way to defend Michael Jordan.The interesting thing was Daly knew you couldn't totally stop Jordan, but the plan was to force him to play 1 on 5 and to beat his brains in for...

I get into a little debate today at work. I told this guy that LeBron James came up lame during last night's game.
