39-yr MJ: 30-30 with 02' Wiz.. 34 yr Lebron: 27-30 in LA

[3ball]

Riiiight


But MJ's 22 on 44% was plenty

MJ's leadership, defense, and clutch produce a better team than lebron's losing stats

39 year old improved the wizards 18 games versus zero for Lebron.. and 34-year MJ got the 1 seed without Pippen

So MJ blows lebron away and it's getting obvious... And we have 3 more years of this!..

Actually that was 35 year old Jordan.

Fact is they're 28-27 with LeBron And 6-15 without him. But look at what they've had to deal with.

Lonzo, Tyson, Rondo all missing 30+ games
Ingram, Lebron, Lance all missing 20+ games

For the season LAL are
20-10 when LeBron, Kuzma and Ball all start
19-13 when LeBron, Kuzma and Ingram all start
24-17 when LeBron , Kuzma and McGee all start

So, Lebron with two other guys worthy of being in an NBA starting lineup = playoffs in either conference.

Even if the above wasn't the case, anyone with eyes can see lebron has been hobbled post injury. This season adds zero context to the rest of his career.

There was a game I watched with a couple laker fan friends when they played the Celtics and I swear we didnt know who some of the Lakers were. Got Ike Bonga, Mo Wagner, Alex Caruso, and Jonathan Williams playing big minutes.

Look at this lineup from a couple days ago:

Who the **** is Scott Machado?

Nobody is impressed by Lebrons stats.

Today's game, if you're a guard in today's world and you arent averaging at least a handful of rebounds a game, something is wrong.

Doubly easy for a 6'9" power forward.

Assists are a dime a dozen as well (pun intended).

Stats are easier to come by in today's league. Jordan made 1st team all defense numerous times... Lebron gets praised for putting up stats and losing.

4 games against GS this season, LeBron played 21 minutes. Dude is traumatized.

[MJistheGOAT]

MJ with 38-39 years old led the 19-63 Wizards to a 26-21 record before the All-Star break/getting injured, also being the only player with averages of 20+ ppg 6+ reb 5+ ast and this with Hamilton missing 5 weeks.

Last 16 games with Rip Hamilton and MJ??? 15-1.

Wizards record without MJ/after injury: 11-25

26-21 record projected to 46-47 wins and a 4th seed
With Hamilton and MJ probably 50 wins and a 1st-2nd seed

Im not going to start on defensive impact of Wizards MJ before the injury:
- 2001 wizards 2nd worst ppg to 6th best, after the injury 19th
- 3rd worst opp fg% to 11th best, after injury 2nd worst
- team reb per game top 10 worst to 9th best pre injury to 4th worst after
- shutting down Pierce, Vince, Sprewell, Marion, Stojakovic

Wizards MJ >>>>>>> Lakers LePushed

I'll admit I am a Lakers fan and I have no clue who Scott Machado is
