Sacrilege naman ata I-compare ng ganitong kaaga si LBJ Kay MJ.
Hindi lang sacrilegious but downright unfair for LBJ. Hindi sya swak i compare dahil nga Jordan is a SG and Lebron plays all positions. So paano nga ang point of comparison kung sino ang mas magaling sa kanila? Ngayon kung si Jordan nga ay tulad ni LBJ na pwedeng mag PG at SG, tapos pwede ring pumorma bilang PF or SF at puwede rin mag Centro, yan pwede tayong mag compare. But the fact of the matter is, NO. So kahit baligtarin natin ang mga laptop natin at computer, hindi talaga pwede I compare si Airness kay LBJ dahil nga si LBJ is one of a kind, and IMO is a player beyond compare. The closest I can think of is Magic Johnson who can play center too but minsan lang nya ginawa yun nung mapilantod si Jabbar. So ala talaga.
But if we really insist in doing the comparison, lagyan naman natin ng common ground. Hindi pwede sabihin natin mas magaling si MJ dahil may 6 rings sya tapos si LBJ 1 pa lang e tapos na ang career ni MJ si LBJ kalakasan pa eh. May nag suggest kanina antayin na lang matapos yun career ni LBJ bago i compare kay MJ. To me that is an intelligent suggestion. May logic dahil by then we can say who achieved more and who had most impact in the game. May solid basis na yun. But now it's way too early. Jordan retired at 38 years old. LBJ is only 28. So mga sampung taon pa!
Pero para sa mga atat na atat, I have another suggestion. Let's match accomplishments by age. To me that's the most accurate and best way to cut a common ground. And let's take it from there as Lebron ages. Pwede ba yun?

Almost a tie because both won their first ever Championship Trophy. But stats wise, lamang ulit Lebron. And after the 2012 Olympics Lebron again added the following accolades to his feather : First player to ever post a triple double in an olympic basketball game. And has most points combined in all his games played, besting everyone else since 1992.
So for Rounds 1 & 2, we can see that Lebron owns His Airness, and was clearly the GOAT at ages 27 & 28.
However, "Jordanytes" know what happened after Jordan's first title. He went on a winning rampage year after year, claiming 5 more rings, more scoring titles and more MVPs. Can LBJ do that? Maybe yes, maybe not. But when these guys were 27 and 28 years old, Lebron trumps his Airness as the stats would show. Age 29 maybe a different story. Or not. Let's wait and compare again.
