Stan Van Gundy: “Lebron James is Already Better Than Michael Jordan”

February 14, 2013
I know what Stan Van Gundy was trying to say when he made this quote on the Dan Le Batard Show. It is very simple, he is simply saying at this point in his career, Lebron is a more skilled player than Michael Jordan.

To even be in the Michael Jordan discussion you need at least three rings. Until then there is really nothing to talk about. Lebron is having a great stretch of games and he is totally locked into Optimus Bron mode, but none of that matters.
Bron’s legacy will depend on how much jewelry he has when it is all said and done.

LeBron James is having a history making season. He’s accomplishing things that we’ve never seen before as basketball fans. For an NBA record six games, LeBron has scored 30 or more on 60% shooting. There was a four game stretch during this same time frame that LeBron was at 75% shooting. Let that marinate for a second.
