the simple reason MJ is better than Bron and Kobe

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Is passing, playmaking, court vision, decision making, finishing, and basketball IQ not skills?

Not according to lebron stans,




anytime we say Kobe is mentally stronger than lebron yall act like we are speaking a different language.


Just because you cant convert intangibles into a statistical number doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I think young kobe's athleticism is severely underrated on this board.

Oh hey look a MJ vs Bron vs Kobe thread. I haven’t seen a thread like this before

Not to stir the pot or anything because you're right but I don't think he was ever the athlete that MJ or Bron was. He was still an elite athlete though it's not like there was plenty of dudes out there that could jump like Kobe.

And did you say lebron is “arguably” more athletic than lebron ..,,nikka there are g league players who have MJ athleticism now

You are grossly underrating how athletic Mike actually was. He’d still be the second or third at worst best athlete in the league today depending how you define athletisicism

MJ not the GOAT, because he wouldn't crack zone defenses and social media

I agree. Lebron's basketball IQ, shot selection, ability to control game tempo, passing ability, creativity, ability to hit shooters in rhythm, ability to run the PnR, and pick apart defensive schemes aren't easily quantifiable but they're definitely aspects where he's more skilled than Kobe.

But mental toughness means what exactly? Kobe's showed signs of mental "weakness" just like Lebron. His performance against the Pistons, his performance against the Suns when losing a 3-1 lead, etc.

Kobe's footwork, ability to create from anywhere on the court, ability to break down defenders in a One on one setting, his ability to shoot over multiple defenders, his sheer scoring versatility and ability to attack weak defenders consistently, his shooting stamina, ability to play through injury, and overall scoring consistency are things that I say he's more skilled at too.

But you morons don't count Lebron's advantages as skill and you only define Bron by his athleticism when he's consistently noted as being one of the highest IQ players to ever touch a ball because you don't think his game is pretty.

Them niccaz just jump higher.Their athleticism is not a perfect balance of harmony and mathematical precision like MJ's was.

MJ's mind was Mount Olympus.You gotta see all those moves in your mind first.The ability to execute/manifest those thoughts,

in a nanosecond, into physical animation-----> A true original.He was the one.The rest of these niccaz are his template.

Nobody ever had it all aligned like MJ.All the stones on the Gauntlet.

BRUH....this should be on a BANNER flying over this forum.

[zayk35]

I can't be swayed cause I was old enough to see it all and in my book Kobe came the closest to being like Mike..but LBJ Is one of the GOATS
..But nobody beats MJ..imo

Who in the league right now is a better basketball athlete than a prime athletic mike?

If you can’t convert your intangible into something tangible, it means you made it up.
