Nothing ventured nothing gained. Still the best to lace em up after Magic, with MJ and Kobe right behind. big grinbig grin

Dat said with everything else happening in de Yoo Ess. Me eh even have energy for bball debate.

Looking at Musky, DJT, Tim Grinning Fool, L Graham, Byron Donkey et al..makes me realize, dat relatively speaking, Lebron is an exemplary human.

Michael "AIR" Jordan....average points per game.....30.1 regular season......33.4 playoffs. Still a record. And that's when defenses mulled you.

Lebron James playing in a game devoid of defense avf ppg 25.1!

That tells the story. Not the cocamamee bush league of today that inspires no one and has led to people ignoring the league like a plague!

Lebron is in his 22nd season....has never played less than 45 games in a season. Took his team to playoffs 17 times.

That is with the constant picking and choosing top stars.....not just players, top stars to play with.

Jordan played 15 yrs. Missed all but 18 games one year and all but 17 another.

Carried his team to playoffs all 13 of his full years. Back in a time, again, when you could win by just mulling people....he was still a wrecking force.

Multiple Jordan's avg vs the advantage in years played today.....and NO, yrs played is not an individual thing, as it has multiplied considerably in ALL sports the last 2 decades for multiple reasons.....and you will see that Jordan is still the GOAT.

And a million times more exciting and revolutionary to the game.

Jordan brought eyeballs to the game.

Lebron has contributed to a departure of eyeballs!

Why every time someone praise Lebron some take it as a proclamation that he is better than Jordan?

Jordan was a dynamic offensive player and yes he played in a tougher league system, no one knows had Lebron born earlier he might adapt to that style and still be great but we don't know this, it's one of the reason it is tuff to compare across different eras.

The best ability is availability and Lebron playing at such a high level in his 40s is an amazement by itself.

Both Jordan and Lebron are Great!cool

EVERYONE is playing into their 40's....Even football players are playing into their it's when a football player touching his 30's 20 years ago was almost worthless.

Sports medicine as well as health tech and personal training has do e wonders for today's athletes.

If LeBron played back then? He would be beat down like Shaq was beat down....You can protract a player playing now over then.....much easier.....the NBA game today is less intense than the NBA All star game was back then.....what was guys like Michael doing in those games?

Fact is Jordan averaged way more per game in a way tougher League.....FACT undisputed.

Played less Seasons.....fact indisputable.

Did not have the tech of today or health advancements.....yet his work ethic was out the spectrum.

Extrapolate that.....those things don't change with era....it's personal drive.

Ok but are they playing within a couple of points of their career average?

Don't mistake me for a Lebron over Jordan guy, That said, I can still recognize Lebron's greatness!

Do you think Lebron James is Great?

For me, the best, and most underrated part of LeBron’s game is his basketball IQ

Maybe even the best ever at that. Certainly up there with Magic.

Show that to Velo.

By the way, how does most points and most missed shots fit into that false pass first narrative? wink

Not questioning the greatness [definitely top 15 smile ], so don't get me wrong. I am just highlighting false narratives and the hypocrisy of the bought and paid for media.

DWL. Magic is way behind MJ, the offensive-defensive juggernaut, bro. Let's not go there.

Looking at Musky, DJT, Tim Grinning Fool, L Graham, Byron Donkey et al..makes me realize, dat relatively speaking, Lebron is an exemplary human.


Compared to all those louts, anyone would be a saint. But don't sit there thinking this back stabber and waggonist is an exemplary human. Let's keep things basketball. That's when you get back yu henergy. big grin
