    Default Lebron need 2-time all-star C; perimeter sidekick defender & COY to make 06 Playoffs

    while MJ needed nothing to make 85' Playoffs

    How am i wrong?

    Lebron needed a lot more help to make the playoffs (a 2-time center, a perimeter sidekick defender, and COY), and also to win rings (a third star)

    Thats why his stats are worse from any segment of his career - his better casts could do more for him

    He didn't need a winning record either

    MJ was a rookie - lebron won about the same as a rookie

    Splitting hairs about one or two games either way doesn't mean much

    That's why I don't give MJ too much credit for making the playoffs when other first-year guys like Lebron, Durant or Curry missed them.. it's always a game or two either way so who cares - but by the same token, when MJ's 8 seed gets spanked by a warriors-level team, let's not act like Lebron's 9 seed in 05' would've done any better, or would've beaten the champion pistons had they snuck in the 05' playoffs

    Well you've got new material this time, I'll give you that.

    MJ at 21 losing record of 38-44, but they let everyone in the playoffs back then. Bulls aren't even the 8th seed with that crappy record. Crushed in the first round.

    LeBron at 21 winning record of 50-32, 12 wins more than MJ at same age. Makes the second round and takes the two time defending conference champs to 7 games.

    Perimeter sidekick defender? What does that even mean? Sounds like a superhero name a 7 year old made up on the spot
