From an athleticism standpoint its not a conversation. Bron is taller, stronger, faster and considering body weight more agile from genetics alone.

But there are a bunch of players now that I could say the same about compared to Jordan. Jordan came up in an era where guys were doing coke during the season and drinking and smoking cigars after games.

Body therapies, diet, and shoe technology is light years better now.

You didn’t even post the 1988 video that the dunk is from :stopitslime:

Jordan looks like a gazelle. That LeBron dunk is not touching that.


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

You posted a wack sped up video of Jordan’s dunk while posting a video of LeBron with a slow motion replay :stopitslime: When you slow them both down and compare them, Jordan’s looks better. Just stop. Jordan’s dunk is a logo. Nobody cares about Bron’s sh*t as with most things regarding him.

Mike's vertical was crazy but what made his highlights legendary to me was his retarded hangtime, not necessarily how high he was jumping

Its not completely out there to say young Bron gets higher on the bounce though

This.

You took the words right outta my mouth. They're both 2 different types of jumpers. Bron can jump higher but MJ can stay in the air longer which helped as he tried to contort his body through defenders on layups and dunks. Bron can get up higher but due to his weight he comes down quicker also. MJ ain't jump, that nikka glided in the air. :mjgrin:

Both are impressive

Faster? Based off what? More agile? Gtfoh. He's stronger and that's it

MJ is a superior athlete and it's not even debatable when you factor in acceleration, explosion, and body control.
LeBron has more acceleration he was a blur in the open floor and he’s more explosive in his prime he was dunking 150 balls.

Son moved like a 6’8 D-Rose :mindblown:


MJ is quicker and has more body control because he was a 195 lb. string bean most of his career unlike the 260 pound LeBron.

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
