Lebron's wife son

Wayne Gretzky.... maybe Lebeta too, but these next few years will be important to his legacy. Remember that Kobr had emulated MJ's old man game almost perfectly and was still a top 5 player in the league at age 34 before the devastating Achilles injury.

LeBron

I feel like these modern NBA guys are playing a different game to Jordan. Tactics, training, understanding and general optimisation have allowed them to achieve greater levels of mastery of basketball.

While their stats may reflect that they are on par with what Jordan was, his sheer athleticism is something that has not ever been matched.

Lebron is better in every single aspect except for the rings argument.

Jordan had better vision. too many times have i seen LeBron kick it out to the perimeter after getting stuffed. in other words Jordan was smarter.
>>
>>68866255
Lebron averages more assist than Jordan tho. I don't think you can conclusively say Jordan has better vision than Lebron
>>
>>68866388
i was talking about scoring actually. Jordan always attacked at the right time.
>>
>>68866153
Nobody even considered Lebron back into this argument seriously until this week. The ring argument might not be accurate but it's how these things are decided.

>will there ever be a more overrated athlete

Id bet a lot of money that most people who kiss his ass on here havent even seen him play

>>68866153
Man lebron was too much of a bitch to even do the dunk contest. He doesn't have the killer in him that Jordan did. Thats why Kobe was great too, had the mind of a killer. Lebron turned it on some at end of the series - it was almost too late, maybe he will get there, he has the tools.
>>
>>68866521
I saw him play. The man never choked. Those who never choke are the best. Jordan was poetry in movement. He faked 2 times before a layup. That was beautiful to watch. This nigger aint. Thats it.

And Jordan was able to push off without getting called. Jordan also didn't have zone defense to deal with.

Jordan was literally babied more than any other NBA player.

Memes: The argument
>>
>>68871573
Top fucking jej.


Lebrick has literally one move. Barge into the paint, pushing everyone and everything out of his way while traveling and dunk. If he misses, the refs bail him out literally every time.

He's Shaq: The Guard.

Easily the most boring "superstar" since pre Bird/Magic era

Financially, no.

BTW, if soccer is BY FAR the most popular sport in the world, why have no soccer players earned Jordan-level money?

MJ was only good at Basketball. LeGod could transition to literally any sport
>>
In terms of: a) expression of physical strength, b) coordination of upper and lower extremities, c) top speed in short distances and d) mental resilience; no, Jordan is GOAT. But only because of the sport he played.

Jim Brown is better. As good at football as Jordan was as basketball, and great at many other sports.

Also, unlike Jordan, Brown is no Uncle Tom.

mj is faster and can jump higher but for a taller heavier guy, bron isn't far behind. 44" vertical 4.6 40 on a guy that's 6'8" 250 or 48" vert 4.3 40 at 6'6" 195

most guys can't jump as high as either of them. they both look plenty fast to me, did you see bron's closing speed on dat block? if mj could still be mj but add 50+lbs like lebron...

>>68866153

and then there's Chamberlain who was faster and stronger than both of them.

>>68874672
yeah people who say he was an era babby are fucking retards no disagreement here. to say a 7 footer with a 48" vertical who could run the court like a guard wouldn't translate to any era takes a special kind of stupid.

That happens in practically every single sport.
The football that was used to play in the '80 has nothing to do with the one that we watch nowadays on TV, neither the training or tactics.

Being real for a second, Lebron James is probably the best athlete to walk the earth. There is no one with his combination of height, speed, strength, vertical, and his ability to stay health (might be using steroids tho). There is no one that can do the things he can do.

Too bad he's pretty shit aside from dunking

his overall game is garbage
>>
>>68866153

jordan was a better defender in almost every single way except for the chase down blocks. jordan is probably the best perimeter defender to ever play the game

jordan was also a better scorer. lebron is a better distributor and rebounder, so pick your poison
>>
>>68884662
>lebron is a better distributor

lebron's assist/turnover ratio is shit

he's too beta to actually impose his will himself. always has been. just look at game 7 where kyrie had to hit the last shot. entire defenses are focused on stopping lebron and so it's easy for him to sit back and statpad away.

his playmaking ability has always been overrated as fuck. he's actually pretty garbage at passing and isnt a good ballhandler under pressure.. hence all the turnovers
>>
>>68884680

i was clearly making the point that jordan is better....but lebron is still a better passer.

there's not really any comparison desu

>>68866054
