Lebron season at 29 vs MJ's season at 29

[Angel Face]

He been improving every season, it's almost super human. Yes he's gonna get better. I'll predict his peak will be a playoff avg of 36/6/6 on decent efficiency.

Agree, by the time he hits 30, he will have 10 flops per game.

[Leftimage]

Who ya got?

Just remember that this is a little unfair to Jordan since his averages are over the course of an entire season, while Lebron's are over 36 games. One sample size is an entire season while the other is half a season.

Jordan @ 29: 32.6ppg/6.7rpg/5.5apg 2.8 steals/0.8 blocks on 49.5% FG, 35% from 3 & 84% FT. 2.7 turnovers per game


Lebron @ 29: 26.0ppg/6.6rpg/6.5apg 1.3 steal/0.3 blocks on 59.1% FG 40.5 % from 3 & 75% FT. 3.5 turnovers per game



Jordan's team won a championship that year & Jordan took home FMVP. The HEAT are the favorite to do the same.

Lack of minutes-per-game stat...

per 36 minutes

Jordan 29.8 / 6 / 5 - 11.6/23.5 fga
Lebron 25.4 / 6.5 / 6.3 - 9.3/15.8 fga


I pick Lebron.


PS: 8 more missed field goals per game for Jordan... essentially 8 turnovers.

one of the most unintelligent comments in awhile..


anyways as for the minutes go

Jordan in 93: MPG = 39

Lebron 2014: MPG = 37

39.3

36.8

I mean if you're doing a stats-based comparison... you do understand the relevance of mpg in that case, right?

No matter what happens in the remainder of the season Mj's peak is still better, but what's your point? Mj is the GOAT and Lebron isn't far behind, that's all you need to know.

[Dragonyeuw]

but the overall impact on the game and how the defense plans for both, is on the same level

Really? I'd be curious to see a team employ a strategy of 'let MJ shoot' in the finals, and then see how long the coach is employed after the fact.

do you understand the difference between 39.3 and 36.8 is a two and a half minute difference in minutes played per game.

Right?

Portland did it for 1 half, let MJ shoot the three ball and result? 35 points in 15 minutes, not even a full half of basketball.

MJ is the GOAT

what is the point of this thread?

[KirbyPls]

Lebron is my all-time favorite player, but MJ is GOAT, and Lebron will never reach MJ.

8 more FGA doesn't mean 8 more missed shots.
