Lebron is not even trying, he's just toying with people, which only hurts his stats. He could go for 40 every night by just shooting 20 something shots.

trust me.
If lebron tries even harder, he'll start shooting 45%FG.
I mean just look at the ill advised 27 foot 3-pt kobe-like attempt he took to put the nail in OKC's coffin.
He's on the same level as a player. I doubt he accomplishes the same amount though.
No he is not.
LBJ is playing great. actually all-time great.
LBJ is not at MJ level.
MJs level is being on a "scoring champ" mode every year with 32+ PPG & still shoot 51+%FG despite TRIAGLE OFFENSE making pippen primary ball handler & playmaker.
LBJ is also not at BIRD level.
BIRD level is being 28+PPG with 9-11 RPG DOUBLE DOUBLE despite TWO 7-footers 7'0" perish & 7'0" Mchale stealing defensive RPG away from BIRD.
6'8" LBJ cannot up RPG to 6'9" BIRD level depite NOT having a single 7'0" guy on his team also wade is only 6'4"
LBJ is all-time great mode. BUT notch below peak prime MJ & peak prime BIRD.
& you are "EXCHANGING" an All-Star STARTER Wade for 1988 1989 pippen on Bulls so I said, MJ will get beyond 8 / 8
all-star STARTER Wade will give 2 more APG to MJ & get MJ total of APG to 8 + 2 = 10 APG
all-star STARTER 6'4" Wade will collect 2 less defensive RPG than 6'8" Pippen so MJ's RPG will go up 2 so 8+ 2 = 10 RPG
all-star STARTER Wade will steal 2-3 PPG from MJ so MJ's PPG will go down from 32.5 PPG to 30 PPG.
all-star STARTER Jordan + all-star STARTER Wade in 1989 Bulls line up will actually help MJ stats to 30 / 10 / 10
Those stats are spread among the team. You just assume Jordan picks them up over the whole team?
He plays completely differently with Wade in the team.

reality check.
Not that rebounding alone decides how great a player is, but did you know LeBron is the best rebounder in the NBA?
I know, it sounds like I'm just being a homer, but there's a new 3D camera stats system that proves it.
Think about it. LeBron is a wing player who runs the point on offense. He's not usually right next to the basket for rebounds, but when he is in rebounding range, he grabs the rebound 83% of the time. That's the highest percentage in the NBA.

thats the secret regarding Michael Jordan.
He is still the same attacking MJ.
When TRIANGLE OFFENSE was introduced to FORCE MJ to change the game & turn him into 24-25 PPG SG......MJ attacked back with "mid-range" game & still got to 32 PPG
When PF like PIPPEN playmaker ball handler was introduced to FORCE MJ to change his game & become 24-25 PPG SG......MJ attacked back with "post-up fallaways, fadeaways" Jumper's & still got to 32 PPG.
MJ's scoring insticts NEVER changed despite EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OFFENSE introduced by Phil Jackson.
You honestly think introducing Wade into Bulls line up will cause MJ to loose SCORING TITLES.

think again.
Who cares if it would or wouldn't? You act as if scoring is the undisputed most valuable skillset for being a basketball player. Michael Jordan can't shine Wilt Chamberlain's shoes as a scorer. It doesn't matter. That's not the be all end all of being a great player.
My only criticism of Lebron is that his jumpshot doesn't look as pretty as Kobe's or Melo's. But other than that, amazing player.. it seems like he can gel into any system.
Re: Lebron is on Jordan's level now
