Why Lebron Will Never Compare to Jordan

     Over the last couple of years i can't count the number of times I've heard Lebron James is a physical specimen, and with all due respect i agree Lebron is an amazing athlete.  Everyone that knows me knows that my ties to the UNC basketball program go deep.  I want to stress that this post has absolutely nothing to do with this.  When i step back and look at Jordan and Lebron there are a couple of glaring differences in their games that make me say Lebron cant compare to M.J. As a matter of fact i will give you three different reasons that make me realize that Lebron isn't even the second best player in this years Finals.
     First of all, the talent surrounding Jordan was not even close to the players that the Heat have put around Lebron.  Jordan had the likes of Kukoc, Longley, Cartwright, and who can't forget Big Bill Wennington.  Now lets look at this years Heat team.  You have Wade (the best player on the floor in this years finals).  Chris Bosh, Chalmers, Bibby, Anthony, House, and Miller. The talent on this Miami team should have no problems beating any team in the NBA this year.  But somehow they can't come together.  I attribute this to a lack of team chemistry.  Yea ok I've seen the ESPN specials about how Wade and James run around all over Miami holding hands and singing kumbaya, but lets face it they don't get it done on the floor like they should.  Pippen and Jordan complimented each other.  The gospel on the Heat is the big 3 do NOT compliment each other like they should.  Last night when Wade went out King James should have taken over.  That wasn't what happened!  The Bulls team had chemistry because everyone knew their roles.  Jordan was gonna get you 40 plus every night.  Pippen took over when Jordan was winded or double or triple teamed, and everyone else was role players.  Yeah you had games when Kerr hit a big 3 or Kukoc had a good night but in the end you KNEW what you were going to get. 
     Next, I'd like to point out that Jordan took games over.  Remember the Cavs game when he stuck that shot in Ehlo's eye?  How about when he took the game over in Utah when he had the flu and basically collapsed afterwards?  Now tell me when Lebron did that?  THE MAN CAN'T CLOSE GAMES.  It's that simple.  Clutch time comes and he's not there.  Jordan always wanted the ball and James seems to shy from it at times.  Jordan didn't just take over games he took over whole playoffs.  In his prime with the Bulls the man had the whole league in the palm of his hands.  You want to know who i think the best closer is in this Finals series?  It's gotta be Dirk (the second best player on the floor in these Finals).  The guy has an innate ability to put his team on his back and carry his team across the finish line.
    Finally, Jordan didn't have to tell you he was good.  HE WAS JUST THAT GOOD.  I understand that you must play with confidence.  Jordan exemplified that, but again you never saw Jordan up on a stage with smoke and lasers and you didn't see him grab a mic and say he was gonna win 6 NBA titles.  He just went out and did it.  Yeah when he was holding his trophy he may have held up his fingers counting the ones he had yet to win, but you knew the guy was going to do it.  I can't say that about Lebron because i don't think he's got it in him.  He hasn't proved it yet. 
     So, Lebron do what you want with your talents.  I really don't believe you're the chosen one at all.  He now owns the Charlotte Bobcats.
