Magic vs Lebron: Position By Position

[SamuraiSWISH]

PG - Magic
SG - LeBron
SF - LeBron
PF - LeBron
C - Magic

With that said, LeBron is the better overall basketball player. Mainly due to volume scoring, and defensive abilities.

Magic however the better floor general, leader, and competitor. Also has a more defined skill set that enhances everyone else on the floor.

LeBron is a swiss army knife, but sometimes it negates other great players. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Are we talking about only offense? Then Magic takes the PG spot...... but if we are talking about both ends of the floor/overall Lebron is better at any position.... you can give Magic PG to be kind, but even there actually Lebron is a much better PG defender while holding his very own offensively running PG.

I agree! I factor both sides of the court so other than PG (because Magic is so EPIC there and the GOAT PG), I have to go with Bron at all the other spots. What made Magic SPECIAL was his offensive versatility. He was also the size of a PF so size wise u could play him at PF. Bron is special due to versatility on BOTH SIDES of the court. So if we are talking just offense, I can see why u give Magic PG, PF, and C. Because he's a better back the basket player and is a bit taller than Bron. But in the two way sense, Bron is BY FAR the more versatile player. Bron, Pippen, and prime G Hill have the market on lock in terms of two way versatility for perimeter players.

Lebron is the greatest perimeter finisher ever.

Has LeBron ever played any C? I remember on the Heat it was always Anthony/Birdman/Bosh/Haslem with LeBron at the 3 or 4.

Magic was a killer on the court... stats watchers who never saw him play don't have a clue what magic was about...

With the ball in hand magic could dominate in ways Lebron has never sniffed

That's not taking away from Lebron, he's just not Magic Johnson...

Except convert a jump shot from the perimeter or a 3pt shot. Magic couldn't do that until much later in his career.
