    Default If you were a rookie entering the league, which would you rather have?

    Prime LeBron's size/athleticism/skill set (2012-2014) or Prime MJ size/athleticism/ skill set (1991-1993)

    You pretty much made the same thread yesterday. Nobody is choosing another perimeter player over first threepeat Jordan

    Just like rings>>every other stat. Same for tough shot creation>>every other skill. So no matter how many skills bran has, ill take tough shot creation of jordan. Its just the most important and most difficult skill to learn. Bran skills can be supplied by other players but jordans tough shot creation cannot. Thats why bran is 2/5 while jordan 6/6 or kobe 5/7.

    Forget MJ and Lebron... Especially Lebron - he has like the 10th best stats in the league.

    The perfect package is Russell Westbrook, assuming he was an elite, knock-down shooter with dimensions more moves, skill and offensive repertoire... Then let's make him 6'6", bigger, stronger, more powerful, more hops, equally aggressive but using GOAT smarts, with the overall ability that allows him to shoot a full 10 percentage points better.

    I'll take that guy over anyone - I'm quite certain that guy would be GOAT...

    With that type of ability, he'd probably be able to score at will.. He'd also be able to score in whatever fashion allowed teammates to play to their strengths and maximize their production.. With his style allowing teammates to maximize their production, the TEAM maximizes its production, reaches its ceiling, and avoids underachieving.. It's just my hunch, but this type of ability would result in Westbrook putting up goat stats AND getting more Finals MVP's than anyone in history, despite no spacing, legal paint-camping, and much higher physicality.

    Oh wait... ... My bad guys - I wrote all that and then it hit me... that's MJ...

    why u guys always like to link LBJ with kobe/MJ?? is LBJ SG? NO
    it's like talking about Dirk and KG, then this dude put Asik's name in. that's what u are doing now.
