We all know that NBA has never been the same without MJ was still on the court. Will it be Kobe? Lebron? Wade? or who do you think it would be?

I don't know if there will really ever be another MJ. The reason is that when a star reaches the point of being one of the greatest ever, his game is very specific and different than everyone elses. And that is exactly the reason he's considered one of the best. MJ, Magic, Bird, etc. all had very different games than anyone we've ever seen. Lebron is sort of a mix between MJ and Magic, so regardless of how many championships he wins or the numbers he puts up, he'll never be 'the next MJ' b/c he just doesn't play the same way. Wade has the game that most closely resembles Jordan's, though i think Wade is an even better passer. Wade certainly has a long way to go before he reaches MJ's level, but if anyone in the NBA is going to do it, it will have to be Wade. Kobe has had so much negative attention around him his whole career, that no one will consider him on MJs level when its all said and done. Remember that while MJ's game on the court was unparalleled, he also was great off the Court, and that made him even greater.

I think Lebron is the next Michael Jordan. He has been playing well since a rookie and has the most potential. He is under shadowed since there are no other good players on his team to go further into the playoffs. Wade on the other hand had the chance to work with Shaq to win a championship. Kobe is not a team player and he takes way too many shots even if he scores a lot.

As for LeBron ,in uncomplicated words time will tell. His overall performance in the jap Conferenec Championship very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days grow to be astounding, yet even as the Finals began, he couldn't have choked more effective. Michael is one in all a type and ,for my area, Kobe is merely about on his factor. What Kobe is doing with the form of tragic supprting forged is astounding. Michael did not do something in Washington without Pippen or Rodman. Kobe has gotten the Lakers to the postseason on his personal back. If he might want to get yet another large call to play with (i.e, Kidd) he has a probability to bypass Michael because the the finest selection ever.

there will never be another michael jordan again ever ... of course, the comparison will always be there, but michael is absolutely the greatest! kobe, lebron and wade are great! they might even break some of MJ's records, but i don't think they can get as much respect as MJ got during his career ... fans, coaches, and some of the greatest players themselves believes that MJ is the only one on his level!

it's going to definitely be Lebron James. I watch ESPN and Scottie Pippen (former teammate of Jordan) said he would rather play with Lebron when he was 21 than MJ when he was 21. Just think Lebron is getting even better. Forget about the next MJ Lebron is going to make his own name.

Look at a highlight clip from last years NBA finals and you will see the closest thing that we have had to him since he left. D Wade has only one championship right now but give him a couple years to blosom and he might, might be close to Jordan. Jordan is Jordan and nobody will ever be better. Maybe close

Micheal Jordan is a one and only. I hate how everyone always says so and so will be the next MJ. Everyone is their own player. Someone could come along and be better than him then the years after that it wont be "who is the next MJ", it will be who is the next____.

No one will ever be MJ. There is one MJ, there is one Lebron James, there is one Flash. No one can ever be MJ. No one can ever be Wilt Chamberlain. There could be someone better, but not for awhile.

Lebron will develope to become the best to ever play the game. Unless he fails to ever win a championship but that is doubtfull.
