Who did Micheal Jordan look up too? Mike wanted to be like somebody. This conversation with George Gervin sets the tone for how Micheal Jordan mind set on playing basketball. These days a lot of people like to compare Micheal Jordan to Lebron James. There really is no comparison, Mike wanted to be a scorer, Lebron wants to be a point guard. Being so stong, so big, so powerful Lebron is having a hard time convincing teammates, general managers, owners that he’s best at the point guard position.
Why Lebron became a Laker
Lebron became a Laker because of Erving Magic Johnson which is who Lebron mimicked his game. A scorer a re-bounder, and make everyone around him better. Triple doubles is the name of the game. Outside of Magic there is no one else who’s game similar, other than the big O, Oscar Robinson, which is to far beyond Lebron’s scope.
Iceman
On the other hand Mike got to watch Gorge play and even teammates at one point. At the end of Goerge Gervins career Micheal Jordan got to watch the Iceman in action before he became your Airness.
NBA’s greatest Dynasties
Six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998 with two three-peats. All six of their championship teams were led by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson. Some would say, Michael Jordan is the greatest champion in NBA history. His six rings count more than Bill Russell’s 11, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s six, or Kobe Bryant’s five. Why is that? Bill Russell won more rings, Kareem won more MVP’s and just as many rings, Charles Barkley has won more games then any player in NBA history. Bill Russell won 8 consecutive titles. However I would say Micheal Jordan is the greatest scorer ever in NBA history.
