Michael been the opponent that challenge his competitors challenging them and every aspect there is possible. Have the ability to play both side of the ball offense and defense made him a force to be reckoned with. Lebron there's a different story with him been the size that he is made him so dominant. Also being able to play pretty much all five positions is something you don't see everyday in the NBA. Not being much of a scorer Lebron loves getting his teammates involved and being a brick wall on the defensive end that lead him to multiple titles.…
Michael Jordan was born 17 February 1963 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Jordan was a competitor from the moment he started playing sports. His father, James Jordan, remarked, “What he does have is a competition problem. He was born with that … the person he tries to outdo the most of the time is himself.” Michael’s father was a minor league baseball player and encouraged Michael to follow in his footsteps but Jordan’s passion was on the basketball court. In 1981, Jordan enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as the basketball star. His sophomore year at UNC, the Tarheels won the NCAA Division I championship behind Jordan’s final basket to defeat Georgetown University.

Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are separated by six years. They play on different teams with different teammates and play different positions. NBA fans all around the world always ask the same question, who is the better overall player Kobe or Lebron as of today?

The best way to realize why Lebron is an overall better player than Kobe is to compare their stats in all aspects of the game.

Lebron James, the best basketball player in the world at the moment but there is one name that he will never surpass: Michael Jordan. Lebron can arguabably do everything on the basketball court: he can shoot, he can play defense, he can rebound, he can make is teammates better, and he is (freakishly) athletic. However, there are reasons why he will never be called, “The G.O.A.T – greatest of all time”.…
LeBron James or Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player of all time? That is the question that is constantly being thrown around in the media and in turn, to all of us here at home. For me the answer is quite simple, and I will tell you why. Jordan (MJ) is “the best,” nd LeBron is the second best, or is he? MJ won six rings and LeBron James won just one. Does that make MJ better or not? MJ played in the Bulls and LeBron played with Calves, then moved to the Heat. I like MJ because he was so good and never really showed off, he was selfless. I don’t like LeBron because he shows off too much and plays dirty. MJ was a team player and LeBron is ball hog. I know the NBA is way different now, considering that a lot of the NBA players are stronger. Well this evaluation can determent by the championships, skill, popularity, who had the better team. Maybe you can say MJ is better in the 4th quarter than LeBron or other way around. Other differences between MJ and LeBron could be that, Jordan had three seasons of playing college basketball with great players and a great coach. MJ won an NCAA championship and would then later learn how to lose in the same NCAA tournament. He understood how to win with great players and how to play with role players and make them better. Because of this, LeBron will never have the leadership ability of MJ. LeBron could not teach his teammates in Cleveland how to be better and to be a champion, he had never been there. But you can say that does not really matter because skill matters more than leadership. But does that really matter? So what’s more important “How their stats looked in their first year winning a championship” or “How they perform?”…

One of the remarkable characteristics of Jordan was his hard work and effort. He played numerous sports as a kid, and baseball was his favorite sport.

In Alcibiades I, Plato dialogues an encounter between Alcibiades, an ambitious noble youth, and the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates, who recognizes Alcibiades’ quest for power, subjects the young man to a series of pedagogical questions in an attempt to expose his ignorance. His hope is not to embarrass or ridicule him, but to slowly cultivate and guide his rationale and thinking. Socrates first proclaims that Alcibiades is unfit and ill-prepared to pursue a career in politics. He states that Alcibiades lacks both the knowledge and expertise to direct the city.…
