Tobra referred to Jordan as a killer, I think that's very appropriate when comparing Jordan and LBJ. Jordan would crawl through broken glass to win, and I don't see that consistent killer instinct with LBJ. Does anyone believe that LBJ would even try to play with the flu, nevermind scoring 38 points in the playoffs. When the game was on the line, all 9 guys on the court knew that Jordan would be taking the shot, and yet couldn't stop him. LBJ has been that guy at times, for instance in the conference finals this year, but not consistently. LBJ also has the habit of fading into the background at times when the game is on the line. Jordan also didn't need to join up with other superstars to win championships, he had a pretty mediocre supporting cast that he made great. LBJ is a freak athlete and I think clearly the best player in the NBA right now, but I would never rank him as "best ever".
