LeBron is is a better player than Jordan.

[copyandpasteguy]

Jordan- 33.4 ppg in playoff career
James-28.0 ppg in playoff career

Obviously this didn't happen and I acknowledge that, but let's be honest if Jordan doesn't take a year off from basketball in '94 and didn't retire after '98, he could of won 7,8,9 nba titles. Not guaranteeing it just throwing that thought out there.
Also the bad boy pistons were much better then some of the teams LeBron bowed out against.
I love Scottie Pippen but Dwayne Wade was a better co star.

2011 NBA finals, 17.8 ppg compared to Wade's 26.5 and Bosh's 18.5 . LeBrons team blew a 15 point lead in game 2. LeBron scored ***8*** points in game 4.

I know I know. LBJ has whipped ass in his last couple finals and they won over the choking warriors last season, but this doesn't mean the old LeBron didn't exist.

No hes not, the eye test says no and the playoffs say no. The only acceptable arguments to put MJ anywhere else but GOAT are Bill Russell and his 11 rings especially factoring in winning as player/coach at the end of his career or Kareem

If you are going to compare, look at the assist and rebounds as well. Lebron is a well rounded machine.

The space between them is probably closer than a lot of the Jordan jockers will ever admit. And it's only getting closer now. But still, Jordan has to be ahead of him. 6-0 says a lot. If LeBron manages to end up 6-4, maybe it becomes more like a Brady vs Montana thing, especially if LB puts up bigger regular season numbers because Jordan played 3 years of college and retired twice, so he lost some time that LB likely won't. If LB plays another 5 years at a high level, maybe people start to say he's the GOAT over Jordan. Maybe...

yeah lebron has the edge in assists and rebounds while jordan has a 3 ppg edge and way more steals and less turnovers

Jordan would mentally rape Lebron. Would have won before the game even started

Once James got shook mentally, he would LeBrick easily. These derps forget how deadly and unstoppable his fade away was.

This is a dumb argument. Jordan was a better on ball defender. He was more clutch. He was better offensively.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I don't think LeBron can guard Jordan 1v1. Esp younger Jordan that still had his first step. He'd get driven on to Bolivia as soon as he stepped out to stop the J.

LeBron would basically have to post up Jordan on O.

Exactly. LeBron is not a finesse player on offense. He's not Kobe or Jordan in that regard. Younger Jordan would eat him alive .

 

[Chillez]

Lebron is poor man's Magic Johnson if we are being honest or more athletic Oscar Robertson.

 

[touchedbyjab]

Jordan GOAT status. 6-0, clutch shots, impossible looking shit in the paint almost every game, never faltered or flopped in high pressure moments.

If I want to win, I would put Jordan over LeBron on my team.

Assist and rebounds are stat padders. Nobody really gives a shit about these empty stats.

Juice is top 50 all time, SF, doubtless. You can't take that away from him, but he's -hilariously- lost too many times in the finals, sometimes choking his team to losses single handily. He isn't in this conversation and that's something we can all agree on.

 

[Breakitdown]

For those that think legoat isnt better than mj. If he beats the warriors this year how can you deny it?

You watch both of them play basketball.

Rebounds are overrated? A possession is worth around 1.2 points. If you were to say steals are overrated, I might agree but they are indicative to well played defense. Assist depend on how the offense is run. Kobe assist are junk because they don't flow from the offense. Same thing with Westbrook. Lebron's assist flow in the offense. But, yeah there is really no stat that is more underrated than rebounds.

Flow in the offense? As long as an assist generates a score, it doesn't matter if it "flows in the offense." What a laughable, CLASSIC Juice nuthugger attempt at a fake stat/accolade.

"Flow from the offense" LMFAO. This is like the "finals appearances" or "most free throws in the 3rd week of February" stats we are so accustomed to seeing from you nuthuggers.

At the end of the day, rebounds are stat padding gutter trash that impresses non-players like yourself. Sorry, but camping the rebounding spots @ 6'9 275 pure roids isn't much of an achievement LOL.

 

[Breakitdown]

The only STAT that matters

LMAO

 

[Money509]

What would MJ do when lebron posts his ass up and drives on him 1 on 1. He wouldnt do shit just like no one else in history. Lebron is too fucking big and strong.

 

[Money509]

You guys can keep regurgitating that MJ went 6 for 6 like sheep, or jsut accept the fact that lebron would manhandle him 1 v1. He would be the alpha.

He would play defense and watch the Known Steroid User (have links to support this) brick shot after shot.

The Known Steroid User has an ATROCIOUS post game LMAO. If you ever played the beautiful game you would realize this LOL.

You also forgot

Too Unskilled
Too Many Roids

We know you don't care how "good" The Known Degenerate is - you've never seen him play before nor have you played yourself. At the end of the day he is the 2nd most skilled player of all time and a great athlete in his own right. No offense, but when you're better on offense and defense than someone you will usually win in a 1v1 scenario LMAO. I see this game ending 21-7 in the Known Degenerate's favor. The Known Steroid user SIMPLY doesn't have enough moves in his repertoire for a 1v1 encounter as evinced by watching him play the game.
