What does Michael Jordan do better than LeBron besides score?

[HabitualChiller]

Scoring is the most important aspect of the game Notice you skipped over the defense too.
And yes, rebounding RESPECTIVE TO YOUR POSITION does matter. A center who grabs 6 rebounds despite being around the rim is not better than a shooting guard who gets 5. Smarten up

I skipped over defense because I'm 98.9% positive that LeBron is a better defender based off of the caliber of players that he's defended.

But because he's taller and stronger than a guard, he'd most likely be able to out-rebound him..

Sounds like you got nothing

I'm pretty sure I'd be able to if I watched Golden State. Steph can guard Russ so I'm pretty sure that he's not below Rondo defensively in terms of talent...

Magic and Bird had no shot a getting around him because they lacked athleticism(THE reason why Magic wouldn't be able to play point guard in this league). Oh, you mean Clyde "look at the ball while I dribble" Drexler? Karl Malone? Really? IIRC, Sir Charles didn't have too good of a Jumpshot. Remind me in the case that I'm wrong.

Nique? Nah...

Reggie Miller was pretty much Klay Thompson without the defense. And he wasn't as good of a shooter...

LOLI guess you can tell yourself anything when you basically shytted on every legend mentioned.

No one's taking anything from Lebron, he's a great defender, especially in the paint.

But you asked a question...I answered it ...Jordan had to guard every superstar from the 1-4. Bird, Magic, K Malone, Barkley, I. Thomas, James Worthy, J Dumars, Drexler, R Miller, KG, the list can go on...you keep pretending if Dan Marjle was his competition or something.

People act like everything is one for one. It's not that Mike was a better scorer, it's that he was a MUCH better scorer. He had a superior mind and heart, was a better defender too.

If Bron had Kobe or Mike's heart, he'd be the greatest player ever. He just doesn't though

Your certainty is wrong which is why I'm correcting you

Lebron is a versatile defender even though he was Hoe'd by Jason Terry and Tony Parker but he isn't a lockdown on-ball defender though his off-ball defense is elite.

Jordan was a better scorer, rebounder and defender.....count it up.

This is what I mean when I said that people hype up Jordan like he was the end all, be all of defenders.

Who was Pippen guarding, breh? Why does Pippen himself say that Mike was only better at scoring? You're really saying that Jordan was guarding Power Forwards?

 

[Mad Good Dro]

90's defense was fukking trash

Bron wouldn't be scoring over 30 in an era with no zone defense and stack shadowing a ball handler AND a shorter 3pt line?

 

[SlurRty]

Just wanna ask the question.

lbj is a better TEAM player then mj. michael can score better which is obviously always good and mj is a lockdown defender. but i think lbj makes people around him better and lbj is a waaaaayy better paseer

 

[malbaker86]

Bron and Jordan are on the same level as passing. Bron is more ball dominant and initiates the offense more than MJ which inflates his assist total.

Jordan is also a better defender

Jordan is a better shooter

He was a great defender ...if you choose to ignore that, than that's fine.
Jordan is a....

9x All NBA First Defensive Team
1X Defensive Player of the Year
3X Steals Leader

Lebrons a
5X All NBA First Team,
1x Second Team Defense
0x DFPOY
0X steals leader


Aint no "hype" about it lol.

They're both great for different reasons on defense...Jordan is more reputable though


And Yes Jordan as a 2 guard, generally guarded the best player from the 1-4 on any given night. That includes the list of players that I've named.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Jordan is better at Offense and Defense. How many times has Lebron won MVP, Scoring Champ, and Defensive Player of the year ALL IN THE SAME YEAR

How many Defensive Player of the year awards does Lebron have?

Ill give Lebron rebounding and passing(slightly ppl underrate how good of a passer Jordan was) but that's it.

And of course Jordan won more

 

[qashif]

better ...

• leadership
• Olympian
• speed and agility
• dribbling
• transition game
• at exploiting mismatches
• at beating double teams
• defense
• in steals
• at not resting when healthy

am i missing something?

Wouldn't even believe this shyt

 

[THE MACHINE]

Nothing. Don't forget that the league had 15% more white people that it does now. Imagine taking out 15% of the black people in the NBA and replacing them with white American born players. LeGM would be going crazy.

Jordan was Playing in the finals being guarded by Dan M. How he made a defense team was a joke only because the suns record was so good. See 2015 ATL when they had 4 all stars.

Imagine someone like Nik Stauskus trying to guard LeGM in the finals.

Didn't JJ Barea put the straps on Bron in the Dallas series?

This is like saying that Drake is a better rapper than Kendrick because he sells more records.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

do better.. nothing..

but he has way more heart...only player who rivals jordan in heart department is kobe..

I mean heart is cool, but how is that a tangible thing criticize or use it as a knock on other players?

Reggie Miller had heart, AI had heart, Malone & Stockton had heart, Larry Johnson had heart.

It could be argued those few of many non championship winning guys had more heart than most people in the league today.

But when it's all said and done what's that gotta do with anything?
