There's a broad context of challenging Michael Jordan's place in history that is alive right now, and Bill Laimbeer added fuel to the fire via comments made on the Dan Patrick Show.
“There’s no question I would take LeBron James,” Laimbeer said without hesitation. “He can do more. Michael Jordan could score and make big shots and look spectacular at times with wild flying dunks, but LeBron can get you 18 rebounds, get you 15 assists or score 50 if he wants to."
It's Bill Laimbeer, so you have to consider the source, but it's another voice joining the several out there already that claiming James is the superior player. I bet Bill has been sitting on this one for 20 years, just waiting for the opportunity.
