Here's how Lebron's current supporting cast compares to MJ's and GS

[3ball]

Pippen > Kyrie

Grant = Thompson

Cartwright = Mosgov

Paxson < JR Smith

BJ Armstrong < Shumpert


Seriously, tell me what matchup I'm wrong about... Lebron's supporting cast is equivalent - here's how it compares to GS:


Kyrie > Klay

Thompson < Green

Shumpert = Iggy

JR Smith > Barnes

Mosgov > Bogut (just look at their stats - prime Bogut is LONG GONE)


2015 Per-100 Possession Stats:

Mosgov: 22.1 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 2.5 BLK
Bogut:.. 13.0 PPG, 16.5 RPG, 3.5 BLK

lebron > jordan

[Lebron23]

Put Lebron with the 1990's Chicago Bulls. And they are capable of winning multiple NBA titles.

LeBron has 3Ball completely shook. Shit is comedy bro.

[rzp]

LoL insecure MJ fans

[J Shuttlesworth]

MJ fans literally comparing the Cavs with a hobbled Kyrie, and no Kevin Love to Golden State, a 67 win team, at full strength

They are so shook that when MJ had a comparable cast to this one, he went 1-9

Why would I be shook?

Lebron faces less defenders on the strongside than previous era players - that locks it up right there.. That ALONE lets me know that MJ's massive statistical advantage over Lebron is legit - and it would be even greater if MJ played today (obviously, his stats would be even better against strongsides that have less defenders).

In addition to the porous strongside defense caused by weakside floor-spreaders, the bans on paint-camping and hand-checking "open up the game" for perimeter players, as the league intended.

Like, these things are all FACT - the hand-checking ban, the paint-camping ban, and the spacing/porous strongsides......... .... no reason to be shook

The fact that you responded to that post and had to make such a long post means you are

[PJR]

Shook.

If Bran goes to on to lead this cast of Knickaliers with a hobbled Irving, and no Kevin Love, it'll be a more impressive feat than that of any of Jordan's 6 title runs.

You better start praying.

[3ball]

it'll be a more impressive feat than that of any of Jordan's 6 title runs.

Haha, no way.. It's not better than MJ carrying the Bulls against the 1998 Utah Jazz and their 100.3 defensive rating (better than anything Lebron ever faced in the Finals), WHILE BOTH Pippen (15 PPG on 41%) and Rodman (8.3 RPG) were MIA..

Sorry, Lebron can't do that.

Nor could he top MJ carrying the Bulls to victory in the 1991 (despite not having any all-stars on his team) by averaging 33 PPG and 12 APG - Lebron will never come anywhere NEAR these numbers.. For his entire career, Lebron only averages 27.9 PPG and 6 APG in the playoffs, compared to 35 PPG and 7 APG for MJ thru the same age (30).

[PJR]

Golden State by all the objective pieces of information is one of the greatest teams of all time. They are a team that holds the number 1 offense and defense, and have the league MVP.


Like I said, it would be a better feat than ANY of Jordan's title runs (should James play great in the series, and they win )

Any.
