Nah jordan first step was quicker and he was able to switch speeds quicker. The fact that jordan was much lighter than lebron only proves my point


The facts are LeBron covers the entire court in 9 strides and can run 20.4 miles per hour which is as fast as Chris Paul as a 6’8 260 lb. SF. LeBron flat out dunks more frequently and with more force than Michael did.

He is stronger, more explosive, and has better acceleration in the open floor.

So did shaq and he for damn sure wasnt more athletic than MJ. As for the cp3 comparison, cp3 was never considered an elite athlete so I'm sure what you're trying to say here. Bron is stronger than MJ but that's it. He definetly isnt more explosive, and there's no evidence to suggest he has superior acceleration.

Jordan legs were shot at 36
Bron still over the rim
‘97 Mike, 54.5% at the rim, 67 dunks, age 33

‘20 Bron, 74% at the rim, 104 dunks, age 35

LeBron is still flooring defenders with dunks and chase down blocking mfs regularly at age 35, by then Michael was a mid post jump shooter primarily.

How is Mike more explosive? Even with way more mileage at the same age LeBron is finishing and dunking way more.

Shaq is considered one of the most athletic players ever he’s in that convo.

It’s wrong for you to even bring him up because he’s a big man. But yeah a young in shape Shaq had ridiculous speed and nimbleness at 7’1 300 lb. he’s definitely up there in All-Time athletes.

Chris Paul was never a jumper or dunker he’s a generous 6 feet, but he’s always been known as a speedster especially before Rose/Westbrook/Wall. We’re talking about young New Orleans CP3 here.

That shyt is wack when it’s not slowed down and in HD picture with camera flashes peak jump I posted them both

Nique got robbed.

A boring ass one hand palm dunk

LeBron had a higher vert than Jordan and was more explosive in dunking and straight line speed/acceleration
We need a true apple to apples comparison.

Why don’t you post Lebrons slam dunk competition tapes:mjpls:

There is the ability to jump high and then theres hang-time. Im not sure if the height at which Jordan jumped at was that impressive more-so his hang-time.

MJ is 6'4.5 without shoes
Lebron is 6'8 without shoes
His pre-draft measurements were 6ft 8 in sneakers and 6ft 7.25 without them, weight of 245 pounds. In 2009 he said he was "About 6’8" and weighed "about 250+". In 2019 he was being billed by the NBA as 6ft 8.5 and in 2020 claimed "I'm 6’9".

Stop the cap ain’t no 4 inch difference between them.
