Cannot imagine this Lebron James dude being able to survive against the late 80s Hawks or Suns, let alone the Celtics, Bulls, Sixers, Bucks, Pistons, Lakers, Jazz, Knicks or Rockets.
What a whining wimp this guy is... Personification of the entire snowflake generation!

Different eras, different way of playing. Can't compare.
Different eras indeed, but definitely can compare.
Lebron has the aura of Sailor Moon, man. He just doesn't feel like he belongs in any of the "great" conversations. It's as if someone shoves him there, as if he crushes the party uninvited. I just don't see how he fits, the whole personality and playing style just doesn't cut it for me, plus he plays in a very weak era and has made a name for himself in the weakest a conference has been since the 1950s...
I don't care if he gets to play for 15 more years, that's a longevity factor, not a greatness one.
I much rather watch players like Melo, Tmac, Iverson, Kobe, Wade, Carter, Durant or Roy during their peak than Lebron. Far more flair, higher skillset and less hype [for the majority of those] with all the ref help that came with it.

I think what you mean to say is you don't find Bron's game aesthetically pleasing compared to the greats (or even Wade, AI, TMac, VC, etc in their peak), his handles, pullups, post moves, etc all look robotic or lack finesse.
But to say he's a jack of all trades and a master of none when he holds record for most points in the playoffs, is 3rd in all-time points scored, 8th in career assists, etc
I dislike Lebron as much as the next man but we shouldn't downplay his feats. His longevity alone needs to be appreciated. Right now I have him at #2 behind MJ and ahead of Kareem.
