Who would you draft Lebron Magic or Bird?

[Malta]

Chris Paul isn't a mismatch so no and Chris Paul has Lebron like usage...you need a better example

Nope, you already put too much of an emphasis on assist percentage, CP3 is the perfect weapon

And CP3's usage rate isn't on par with Brons, it's 24.0, Magics was 22.3

 

[Malta]

doesnt matter Magic is putting up something like 26/10/15 in this era and coming away with at least 3-4 titles

He didn't put up 26ppg with a faster pace in his own era with more possessions

I been saying mismatch from the start

Cause his usage was low....give him Lebron's usage and he'd be there....shyt at 26% he was at 24/per36

26/10/15 and a mismatch at every position with shooters waiting to feast when the D overextends itself trying to defend the GOAT offensive anchor

 

[Poitier]

A 6'9 CP3 who can grab 10 rpg would really be the GOAT tho Magic number two, he was just born a few eras before his time to get the number one spot

You cant just make up stats and Juat assume he'll average that

Lebron already had a 27/7/7 53% (2012) 26/8/7 57% (2013) 26/9/9 %55 (2017) plus dpoy level defense seasons...Lets go by what actually happened

im not making it up....thats what advance metrics are for Magic is a much better passer, a better rebounder, and an equal mismatch and doesnt have to dominate the ball though he'd do just fine in a heavy usage scorer role especially in the small ball era

 

[ThaRealness]

you nikkas question is about who are you drafting for your damn team, not who's the best. bran stans really are mentally challenged mofos

we have no info on this hypothetical team, so Im taking the best player

. Larry never touched an assist percentage in the 30s. Lebron touched 40 twice. Magic was touching THE 50s multiples times....let that shyt sink in. Take his usage from the low 20s to the 30s like Lebron and you have the perfect basketball weapon

I don't see nothing about no mismatch when you started calling people perfect for their assist percentage

Cause his usage was low....give him Lebron's usage and he'd be there....shyt at 26% he was at 24/per36

He wasn't the scorer that LeBron is, therefore he wouldn't be able to have that usage rate. You're missing the point there, the guys with high usage rates have proven themselves to be prolific scorers. If CP3 increased his usage rate he wouldn't be able to sustain it

 

[Poitier]

he wouldn't be able to sustain it

agree to disagree

 

[Methodical]

In order Magic>>>Bird>>>LeBron

 

[Malta]

agree to disagree

How about you just join me and stop opposing me, this is the only place we disagree

I started off a Lebron antagonist and I must see it through to its completion

First No one in history is a MUCH better passer then lebron. But yes magic is the better passer. And Lebron is the better scorer (eye test n stats agree) and a Clearly more Impactful defender .like its not close if their at their best n lebrons is a all time great playmaker also his self. Lebron is cleary a better player then magic IN MY OPINION

 

[swag johnson]

ain't nobody more fun to watch then magic brehs

This, made every game a must watch for the crazy passes he'd pull off

I thought about Lebron at first, but really a 6'9 PG vs 5'10-6'3 PG's is a mismatch anytime Magic wants to take them to the paint, especially when paired with an abover average SG. You can't switch the SG/SF onto Magic because that'll leave the SG/SF free to beast on the smaller PG as well. Don't need a fancy handle when you have that much of a physical advantage.

The Lakers' opponents could switch their SG to guard Magic and their PG to guard a 6'3 Byron Scott. But if you had a 6'9 PG like Magic paired with a prototypical-sized SG as your backcourt it'd practically be 4 vs 5 basketball whenever you had the ball.

The nature of the position and Magic's mismatch potential for it make me go with Magic. I actually think Dennis Rodman/Kawhi Leonard straight could bother prime Lebron pretty badly in an all-time draft if you decide to go with Magic. I don't think there are many counters to Magic straight up without rearranging your team match-ups a little. Defensively he could get exposed, but many SG's can guard PG's pretty well today.

Not 100% on board with Magic like it's some easy pick, but that's who I'm going with.
