The strongest arguments for Mike over Bron to me, is a)if you place a higher credence on him dominating his era more---->I don't, because I think it's abundantly clear that Mike played in a significantly less sophisticated NBA from a scheming and coaching standpoint, and the 90s era Mike won all his titles in, was significantly inferior in the talent and ability of the players he competed against
B)you value the skill of scoring over all other basketball skills;
C)the fact Mike never had a 2011 Finals moment in his career...
These aren't strong enough reasons to justify Mike over Bron to me, but I can understand if these are the reasons someone favors Mike...
Point A isn't strong enough to me for the supporting reasons I listed. Point B, I don't think the gap between their scoring is as wide as assumed, because of the fact LeBron played in an era with more sophisticated defenses, and the fact LeBron has a number of playoff series obliterating elite defenses like the '07 Pistons, '16 Warriors, etc; and the fact LeBron has some huge scoring bursts in the playoffs, in said era or stronger team defense. And, LeBron was just so much better at other basketball areas it nullifies any advantage
Point C to me isn't enough because it's the only Finals worthy of criticism. Bron's best Finals performance (2016) is better than any Mike performance, I think 2016 is the greatest performance of All-Time and I'm not the only person who feels this way, this video explains some reasons why:
So while I disagree with these reasons, I can understand someone who stands on them...
