A dozen reasons why Lbj>MJ In any era.

[TheWinningFam]

Jordan would be demar/kobe in today's game.

[COLOR="Red"]1.[/COLOR] Kobe and demar derozan are good examples of what jordan would look like in todays era except kobe was a BETTER three point shooter than jordan...

[FONT="Arial"]Kobe was somewhat efficient from mid range because [COLOR="Red"]he had decent three point shooting ability that forced defenders to guard him close[/COLOR], and when they did he had a GOAT fadeaway shot kobe being a better 3 point career shooter than jordan in the modern era proves so.[/FONT]




[COLOR="Red"]2.[/COLOR] [FONT="Arial Black"]In todays nba Jordan would be forced to either [COLOR="Red"]A. make double teamed fadeaway jumpshots the most inefficient shots in the modern era, or B make fadeaway threes like those seen above..[/COLOR]
Jordan had the luxury of not having to face top class defenders + less effective no zone defenses. All of this in a SLOWER PACED nba spacing era, Jordan would be less efficient due to lesser amount of possessions and ability to catch the defense off guard with fast play.[/FONT]

[COLOR="Red"]3.[/COLOR]What jordan's game would look like in the modern era:

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Red"]Even in a more spaced era, teams can easily shadow double team a player and jordan would be forced to make tough fadeaway shots that would only be worth 2 points because he couldn't make threes. Midrange chucking in today's era doesn't work because 3>2 no matter how good you are as a mid range shooter its no better than dunking at the rim, they are all worth 2 points[/COLOR]
[/FONT]
[COLOR="Red"]4.[/COLOR]The 90s:



That extra 1.6 points allowed per 100 possessions and extra 3.1 possessions per game in Jordan's era can easily provide 1.5-2 points extra and a bit higher TS% in the playoffs. It represents a roughly 5% inflation in stats.


[COLOR="Red"]5.[/COLOR][FONT="Arial"]otoh, [COLOR="Green"]With Lebron's playmaking scoring and defensive upgrades[/COLOR] the portland trailblazers would probably win in 6 vs the bulls in 92. REMEMBER Lebron has NEVER lost when he was 48 mins from a championship. jordan HAS TWICE.
[/FONT]
[COLOR="Red"]6.[/COLOR]Clyde's 92 finals stats 24/7/3
[COLOR="Green"]Lebron's 16 Finals stats: 30/11/9[/COLOR]
Jordan's 92 finals stats: 34/4/6
[COLOR="Red"]7.[/COLOR][FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Green"]Lebron's superior playmaking assists and rebounding numbers would make up for the measly 4 point advantage that jordan retained. we know this because an assist is ALWAYS ATLEAST worth 2 points, an assist is always more valuable face value wise than points alone. Not to mention lebron also was the main anchor on defense, otoh jordan benefited from the defense of Scottie Pippen.

[COLOR="Red"]7.[/COLOR]And dont forget, GOAT DEFENSE



[COLOR="Red"]8.[/COLOR][FONT="Arial"]If clyde averages 6 more points 4 more rebounds and 6 more assists the trailblazers win in 6 over the bulls keep in mind drexler had a BETTER supporting cast than lebron, he had 3 other 13+ point scorers otoh, lebron only had 1 and that was due to the gs defense keying in on lebron.

[COLOR="Red"]9.[/COLOR] Take the 3 because it takes pressure off of you and allows you to get more open. With only 1 other viable scorer teams can double team in on you. This is what allowed kyrie to score more than he usually would.[/FONT]

[COLOR="Red"]10.[/COLOR][FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Green"]Lebron having to be the cav's best rim protector, rebounder, playmaker, ball handler, AND anchor the defense, ALL WHILE BEING THE OTHER TEAMS MAIN DEFENSIVE FOCUS POINT speaks volumes[/COLOR], Jordan never had this type of load in any of his finals as he could rely on pippen for defense, and later rodman for rebounds. All jordan had to do was go out and score, anything else was just icing on the cake..[/FONT]

[COLOR="Red"]11.[/COLOR]If lebron had to be lebron consistently had a good team around him you would see more games like game 6 boston, and the back to back 41 point games agianst the warriors, he cant because he has to do other things or his teams collapse.

[COLOR="Red"]12.[/COLOR][FONT="Arial"]Lebron is actually a better scorer and shooter and closer, when it matters most.[/FONT]



[FONT="Arial"]Lebron is the GOAT in elimination games and game 7s..
Elimination games usually come down to 1 thing, and that's getting buckets and no other player on the planet does it better than your highness, lebron himself.If its game 7, you take lebron over anyone hands down, he just cant let you down, Otoh, jordan has lost multiple times when having the chance to clinch a series or championship..[/FONT]

39 year old Jordan was dropping 20ppg on the same 2p efficiency as prime Derozan. A 39 year old Lebron would resemble more like an old Shaq or Hakeem.

I forgot. Who has a DPOY award?...Lebron would be a Pippen in the 90s. Actually, I believe Pippen would make Lebron his bitch like how FMVP Kawhi does.

1.Lebron should have easily won the dpoy in 2012-13 he got robbed by tyson chandler

2.You just proved my point, lebron won that series while going up agianst a better defenders than anyone jordan faced (Outside of payton.)

3.Derozan isn't in his prime yet only 26 years old

4. Jordan didn't have to vs elite ball handlers like lebron does, when he did we saw what happened:

5. The fact that the player that guarded lebron wins mvp when his team is injured speaks volumes, You wouldn't get mvp if you guarded Joel anthony would you? and even when he lost his stats were fantastic.

If Lebron is really the GOAT then why the constant comparisons with Michael?

You're using Jordan as a measuring stick and indirectly discrediting your whole stance.

It's human's nature to compare one thing to the other, I'm not saying jordan's not a top 5 player. Im just saying he was ahead of his time and wouldn't be as sucessful in the modern era,

In terms of accolades he's a top 2 goat
Sense he is considered a top 2 goat by many it's only fair to compare top 2 goats to Each other.
