Let's see

-4 Finals losses
-played in an awful East
-had to join super teams to win in the East
-2011 historic choke job
-2014 3 turnovers in final 60 secs, bailed out by Ray Allen
2015- shot 18% in the 4th Q of Finals
2016 - needed Kyrie to take over & Curry, Bogut, Iggy to be injured & Green to be suspended.
- has only beaten 3 teams with over 50 wins in the playoffs :ehh:

:wow:

The problem with using this type of argument is that neither came in at the same age. LeBron got drafted at 18, Jordan got drafted at 21. So you're comparing 13 years of LeBron to 10 years of MJ
which makes jordan better to me because he accomplish more, faster
but why doesnt bron get more credit for this :what:

why the fukk dont we look at what they accomplished as 31 year old men? mj couldnt even position himself to sniff an nba finals from 18 to 20, so he gets MORE points from you? i dont follow at all

bron could have just gone to college with worse competition. he COULD have done that. so that would have made them equal? :what:

People can't be logical about this subject so it isn't a debate worth engaging in.

you know damn well why and you playing dumb


you are comparing their NBA careers correct??? so why wouldn't you compare 10 years in the league vs 10 years in the league??


IF you are purely going off age... then why only hold it to the NBA? why aren't you giving MJ his college accomplishments?? since its purely what they have done from 18-31.....




this is called shaping the narrative.. you are trying to compare nba stats of two players with UNEQUAL time in the nba... you need to either make it the same length of time in the nba... or make it purely about years and include everything that was done in those years


you trying to cut it both ways and it don't work like that...


it'd be like us racing cars for 10 miles... i'm going to start 3 miles ahead of you.. but you're not allowed to bring that up when we talk about who won

we don't know if jordan could have cut it cause it wasnt a big thing back then... going straight to the pros...

so by your logic, wilt, kareem, magic, bird and a host of other legends couldn't cut it either right? nikkas scoring 37 ppg and 25 rpg n their rookie seasons but couldn't cut it in the nba 365 days prior??


any type of comparison needs 1 thing.... equal ground.. you starting off uneven...

why not start the comparison at 21... bron had 3 extra years of nba training and couldn't outdo a rookie jordan :jbhmm:


see why this doesn't work with random starting points

Objectively having seen both play their primes for the most part(I'm 34) The closest person I've seen to being as good as Jordan is Kobe Bryant. I don't think Lebron is as good as him to be honest. And dude is also a stat padder.
If Lebron were truly a stat padder his stats would be godly. He can literally pull a triple double in every single game he plays if he chooses to play for stats.

Probably because going straight to the NBA wasn't as viable back then and going to college is what the majority did.

:yeshrug: still doesnt mean rings or accomplishments

Karl Malone has the second most points ever through sheer longevity. Is he the second best scorer ever? Is that how it works? Nah it isn't, that's fukking retarded. If you can accomplish more or similar stuff in less number of years/games then that means you were clear doing better in your career.
