Phil Jackson Says "Lebron has tools that equal to Jordan"

Since Lebron James was a freshman, he has been known as a phenom. Now in his 9th season in his NBA, Lebron has proved to his haters, that he can win championship. The talk of the NBA right now is not the start of the preseason, it is the Michael Jordan and Lebron James comparison. It spread even quicker when Phil Jackson made comments about the two great players. "He's got all the physical attributes," Jackson said. "He is a player that can play four positions. Except for perhaps the center spot, which he hasn't (been) given a shot at yet, he can play those other four positions quite well.  This is unique; Michael could play three and was very good at all three of those, but as a power player that LeBron can become, I think he has an opportunity to explore and advance some of the status that he has already gained."
"Winning six championships is an elusive thing out there, and they haven't won two yet," Jackson said. "But he's kinda got the smell of it, and even the Olympic experience this summer, he was the granted leader of that team and was the critical player when they needed something to happen in the final games.  I think he's there, I think he's at that position. He's got good things ahead of him and a lot of it depends upon if he's gonna be healthy for the remainder of his career."
Lebron won his first championship at the age 27 and Michael won his first at the age 28. Lebron is in his prime and has more years to come. Will he one day be better then Jordan is the question.
