Meaning every single one of these stars grew up idolizing and wanting to be Michael Jordan...and they played basketball every freaking free second of the day...
People try and tell me 'the league isn't as talented anymore' which is total bullshit. The talent in the NBA right now is the best it has ever been and it is FAR BETTER than the talent during the Jordan era.
People confuse talent and fundamentals. Yes, back in the Jordan era all of those players were fundamentally sound team players. The game has changed.
I have news for you...LeBron is the most talented basketball player to ever lace up a pair of shoes and this is coming from a HUGE Michael Jordan mark.
The Kobe fans, who seem to be the ones that hate LeBron the most, need to get over it. Kobe never was and never could have been what LeBron has been. He just didn't have the talent. That's not a bash, that's just a truth.

MVP's are a pretty poor way to evaluate players. Jordan only had 5, so you're telling me he was only the best player in the league for 5 seasons? Steve Nash also had 2. So you're telling me Steve Nash was actually the best player in the league for 2 seasons? Of course not he just filled up a stat sheet., Also consider who was winning MVP's when Jordan first came into the league. I believe Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were winning them. Who was winning them when LBJ got into the league? Kevin Garnett? Allen Iverson? Steve Nash? Come on.
