Michael Jordan at 38 was a 22/5/5 player

[AirBonner]

LeBron at 37 is a 29/7/7 player. I think it’s safe to say LeBron is much better at around the same age :biggums:

Oh look...this thread again...how many times in the last few days?

We all know Jordan would average a good 40ppg in today's league...

Probably even more, taking into account LeBarry is playing against players who aren't even in the NBA - due to covid protocols lmfao

No one cares, LeBarry is still only Top 5-20 somewhere

Jordan returned after 3-year retirement.

[expansionera]

Keep in mind this is with a half dozen years of rest, LeBron hasn’t taken any time off and is still producing far better numbers than Jordan on a more competitive team than the Wizards.

Easy to recover when A) You lose so many championship series' and B) You are pumped full of steroids. Awfully strange Lebron suddenly got the fountain of youth after a few weeks off with his "stomach" injury. Check the flight charters to Miami while you're at it. Remember how amazing it was when Roger Clemons and Barroid Bonds got better into their very late 30's and early 40's? Facts are tough, I know.

lebron isn't better than ever. he's also clearly lost a few steps of explosiveness and elevation. you're just leshook cuz he's much better than kobe and mj were at similar ages.

so was he juicing when he outran an athletic 19 year old rookie and did a reverse two handed dunk or nah? you should probably get your desperate narratives straight.

[Dengness9]

Michael had 6 titles by 38.

LeBarry still sitting at 4. Not looking good to get to 5. He would have 5 if not for the biggest beta cuck simp choke of any player in finals history.

Truth hurts.

Lebron at 36 averaged 23 ppg in the Playoffs with zero 30+pt games, even with AD out and the Lakers badly needing him to score. Cool, he's had a nice little 10-game streak against horrible defenses while half the players have been out due to COVID, let's see if he's actually going to end up with these averages come Playoff time..

And for reference, MJ at age 38-39 averaged 25/6/5/2 before injuring his knee. Kobe and T-Mac averaged just 26 ppg that season because of how tough it was to score for perimeter players, and pre-injury MJ basically matched that with just his mid-range ability and his team was 26 - 21 before they collapsed with his injury.

hurrr, lebron had played 4 games in two months before the playoffs started because of a high ankle sprain, durrr.

Tim Duncan is better than Lebron James. Certainly would never choke away a finals series on his own.

But that's the ****ing point. You're going apeshit over a small stretch in the 1st half of a season and y'all are comparing it against MJ's entire season.. Lebron's been injured 3 out of the last 4 seasons. Putting up numbers on the Wolves or the Hawks or the Blazers or the Kings is not particularly impressive.. Those teams suck to begin with and they're not healthy either.

ok fair enough. lebron needs to play about 30 more games for a better comparison. mj started 53 games at 38/39.

Lebron actually has someone his size and with similar athleticism defending him that can employ zone. Imagine if he got to iso 6’1 part time Caucasian players in isolation every play

This is a great post.

LeLeader against the Suns last year was so telling of what kind of player he REALLY is.

When he didn't have his all star side kick, he quit on the team and it was just so flat out embarrassing.

Not running back on D, head down, angry at team mates, down the tunnel 5 mins still to play - leaving his team mates.

He quit before the games even started.

LeBron is playing great offensively, but like others have said, he is beating up on mediocre comp. I'd judge LeBron more on what he does during the second half of the season, going into the playoffs. We saw what he was in the Suns series (a team that actually played defense and game planed for him). Injuries can't be an excuse either - he played well in the 3 or 4 games before that series.

His game was falling apart at 35, even though he took a sabbatical to help his mileage.

Even injured players who are forced to sit out a season or two improve their long term-mileage if they manage to heal completely from that injury.
But Jordan wasn't even injured when he retired, so imagine the advantage he had over other players when he returned.
