Im sorry prime MJ is not jumping this high

[calh45]

Miami bron is the most athletic nba player ever.

This.

Why we even arguing this?

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Could Bron run a 4.3 like MJ did at UNC??

@YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy bout to question our blackness again for not believing it

 

[Standing on business]

It didn’t count but Bron had a reverse dunk in game one of the finals this years. I was thinking no way he just did that at his age with his mileage

 

[Remote]

I don't think it's necessary to compare Lebron's athleticism to Jordan's.

But I do like that the video clip in OP shows how athletic Lebron really has been in his career.

Look at how quick twitch that first dunk was but Jordan more explosive

mj got all time body control it allowed him to put crazy body english into his finishes

but in every other metric bron got him

he is on the back end of his career & still elite it's ridiculous ha

LeBron's one foot leaping is godly. It doesn't make any damn sense

That’s the only difference imo. Bron is a better one foot leaper and MJ is a better two footed leaper.

Nah MJ also had quicker first step and change of direction. That's why he was was so dangerous in the half court. He didn't need much space. Lebron takes longer to build momentum. MJ was also a quicker leaper from under the basket. He was able to posterize cats without gathering himself

first step i'd give him the edge change of direction i see as being under the umbrella of body control

it's gonna take bron more to build momentum seeing as he carries more weight

mj was built for his style of play came into the league a little under 200lbs then built up to around 220lbs

bron came in at 240lbs & who the fukk knows where he is at now some say he's played as heavy as 280lbs

different builds different play styles

Never seen bron do this

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

And that’s backwards

 

[Houston911]

6’8 and 6’6 is 4 inches breh

Not sure where you've been but LeBron is 6'9 and reports say mike's real height is between 6'4.5 to 6'5

 

[CHICAGO]

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

JORDAN WAS 6'4.88
BAREFOOT AT THE OLYMPICS.

BRON JUST MEASURED AT 6'8.5
BAREFOOT IN THE NBAS
OFFICIAL NEW HEIGHT MEASURING.

SO A 3.72 INCH DIFFERENCE.

LeBron grew in the league. He’s 6’8.5 in shoes and they rounded it to 6’9. But in the earlier part of his career he was 6’8.

LeBron was 6’7.25 barefoot predraft this is a fact.

Michael is 6’6 in shoes and probably 6’4.5 barefoot. It’s not a 4 inch difference it’s a 2.5-3 inch difference at most and it depends on the stage of LeBron’s career.

He has differed wildly in height and weight his rookie year he was billed at 6’7 240 lb. where as in Miami he may have been 6’9 275 lb.

MJ weight went from 195 to 218 pounds in his career. In Washington he was probably around 225 pounds.
