Let's dive further into this great point you just made.

Mj's team usually had more hof players than the guys he beat. He's actually only defeated one team that had equal or greater hof talent than his team (pistons 91) every other series he's had the advantage.

91 Lakers had 2 but Worthy was hobbled as well as Scott (2nd and 3rd options for LA)

92 and 93 opponets had 1 hall of famer each. Mj's teams obviously never had less than 2.

2nd 3peat the Bulls had 3 hall of famers and the Sonics had 1, the Jazz had 2.

Perhaps I'm missing a team he defeated feel free to add to the list.

On the other hand the only time Lebron's team had more hall of fame talent than the opponent was 2011 which he lost. Every other series was equal or his team was at a disadvantage from that hall of fame standpoint.

Again feel free to correct me if I've left out someone something.

Lakers and pistons had equal or more HOF's

And the sonics/jazz/magic/knicks/heat basically everyone had more decorated casts with more all-star players, appearances and accolades.. just more good players

The bulls were just MJ/pippen, and pippen wasn't a great or lethal scorer like say Wade/kyrie, so the bulls were a 1-man show on offense (MJ had to score 10-20 more than 2nd option to win all Finals, while lebron needed equal scoring partner to win)

concentrate more in scoring and let others do their roles

comprende?

It's not about concentration. It's a lack of scoring skills. Lebron can't hunt for his shot like MJ could. Lebron's an opportunistic scorer. He'll only attack the obvious exploits.

[Spurs m8]

Played less games.

Didn't have the 3 ball.

Two major reasons....you fvcking dumb cvnt.

Why couldn't lebron average as many points as Jordan?

[Patrick Chewing]

This point is whack

It doesn't matter how many "Hof" players are on a team if they aren't playing at a level indicative of having HOF talent. It's about how they played AT THAT TIME, not what their entire career body of work looks like

If you really wanted to go that route, LeBron didn't even make the Finals while having more HOF players than the opposing team.

[Soundwave]

He obviously could have had that record if he really wanted it. Could have jumped ship to join Phil and the Lakers or Scottie in Portland and stat padded for a few extra years if he felt like it.

PPG is the metric for NBA scoring leadership, Jordan has more scoring titles than Wilt + Kobe + LeBron combined in like 50+ seasons of NBA basketball between them. He has the highest PPG in the history of the game both regular season and playoffs. Them's the facts, he's the most dominant scorer in the history of the game.

[sportjames23]

Jordan was supposedly a better scorer than Lebron and played in an easier era. And Lebron gets more assists and rebounds. It's not like Jordan didn't shoot a lot.

Why couldn't Lebron win as many rings as MJ?

Lebron is supposedly a better playmaker and passer and rebounder and leader than MJ. It's not like Lebron didn't get to the Finals a lot.

You think if LBJ faced 6 mechanics he would lose?

What was the best team Michael Jordan ever beat in the Finals?

what a travesty

100%

LeBron has more points than Jordan in the playoffs and he's not even known for scoring.

Let that sink in

[COLOR="Navy"]How many more all-stars did lebron need to win than MJ?

And professional statisticians have determined that MJ won more underdog rings than lebron: [/COLOR]




*Kareem's finals appearances are off in the second chart. Refer to the first chart. He should have 10. Kareem's rings above expectation total is around +0.9.





*The numbers seem to fluctuate based on the changing ELO rankings and upsets. So in the first chart MJ has +2 rings above expectation and in the second updated chart he has +1.9.

*The Game Score averages above are not adjusted for pace.


Among NBA leaders, Bill Russell has the most rings above expectation with +2.4 (or +2.3), followed by MJ with +1.9 (previously +2.0).

on which he could've developed rather than dominating the ball & entire offense

Miami Lebron had spurts of low post game. He could've improved it & add to his own arsenal. He has the potential to become literally unstoppable in the paint if he wants to

Why are you posting old, irrelevant information? Please update your pitiful stats

He's never wanted to develop a post game because that would mean he'd have to play something other than face-up offence with the ball in his hands most of the times. He's not willing to do that even though physically he should be able to exploit defences that way.

His ego is too big. It's too bad actually that he lets stupid things get in the way of being the best player he could be. Things have to run LeBron Ball way or he freaks out and isn't willing to adjust. Didn't the Lakers want him to handle the ball less and let Lonzo/Rondo handle more of the ball handling and get LeBron more in the post? That lasted like oh, 2 games before he tuned Luke Walton out.

Jordan, even Kobe didn't give a f*ck about going into the post, if they could score that way they were fine with that versus slashing/driving to the rim all the time.
