Michael Jordan transcended basketball. It's going to be tough for Lebron. It's like comparing Rodimus Prime to Optimus Prime.
To his credit though, Lebron did live up to the hype of being the most sought after #1 draft pick. He has all the physical attributes, he has a likable personality, and at such a young age is already ahead of Jordan i so many aspects of his game. But he hasn't won anything yet. He hasn't even won so much as a dunk contest.
He'll have to win at least a few championships. He'll have to have some heroic moments and make some buzzer beaters. And he'll have to star in an animated movie like Space Jam (I'm only kidding).
His Airness will never be eclipsed, and probably never equaled.
But then again we all put Tiger on a pedestal before too.
