The hate against Lebron HAS to stop

[GIF REACTION]

The reality is he's the closest thing to MJ we've ever seen

Let's compare MJ and LJ's playoff stats

MJ:
33.4 PPG
.568 TS %
35.6 USG %
28.2 AST %

Lebron:
28.2 PPG
.565 TS %
32.1 USG %
33.4 AST %

- MJ clearly scores more at the same efficiency, but Lebron has a superior assist rate, whilst using less of the ball.

Here's where it gets interesting

MJ Box Plus Minus stats:
OBPM: +8.3
DBPM: +1.8

Total BPM of +10.1

Lebron Box Plus Minus stats:
OBPM: +7.3
DBPM: +3.2

Total BPM of +10.5

As far as statistical volume, MJ has played 179 playoff games and Lebron has played 178 playoff games.

Stop trolling guys. There really isn't much between these guys as individuals.

Inb4 the haters bring up team accomplishments and 2011 finals like it's worse to lose in the finals than in the first, second, or third rounds...

No! They hate will continue

MJ is MILESSSSSSS ahead of Lebron.

The hate for Bron will stop once you nerds stop overhyping him.

The stats actually show that Lebron has been a more impactful defender in both the regular season, and easily the post season

[Asukal]

2/6 bitches! suck it!

[Trollsmasher]

damn, LeBron is twice as good defender as MJ in the playoffs

I knew he was better, but didnt think the difference was that big

[Akrazotile]

OP straight sprayin Raid on kids. Damn.


But I mean at the end of the day, Lebron will go on with his life as an NBA great, and the haters will have to go back to their same old lives with their same old problems.


Lebron James - Closest thing on the court to Jordan. Closest thing in the showers to Pippen.

The man is simply killin it at life. There's no use resisting it. Resistance is futile.

i love lebr0n's fat c0ck. Tore my azz up last night.

[dubeta]

LeBrons 2009 Playoff PER was the highest in NBA history




You cannot do a apples-to-apples raw stats comparison between MJ and LeBron since MJ played in a faster paced era and also played in a higher fg% era (worse defense)



Overall LeBron is the better playoff performer

[kennethgriffin]

1.5 for 6

Bingo Dubes.

The Box Plus Minus is such a good stat because it looks at the IMPACT of a player, in a net positive/minus style. When such and such player is on the court, what impact does it have on the score?
