So its MJs fault that the superteam LeGM built didnt work out

Gotchu
So it's LeBron's fault that he utterly eviscerated the Eastern Conference throughout his career?

I'm just saying, your logic defeats itself. LeBron IS a better OVERALL player. To deny it any longer is intellectually dishonest

Pippen said it best

MJ was never asked to do everything that Lebron has to do, but if MJ had to, he would be getting close to double digit assists too if he wanted. Rebounds too if he wanted. But the Bulls just needed him to score

So the whole “better overall” player argument is flawed because MJ did it all too when needed

When MJ wanted, he averaged a triple double for a month. Once played PG for 20 or some games and averaged 10+ assists.

Lebron has built teams around him with players to purposely geek his overall numbers. To help him average close to a triple double. Its Lebron ball. If MJ got to play MJ ball and have the ball in his hands THIS much, his numbers would be even more impressive

all of that and i didnt even mention how much softer the nba is these days

More skilled? Sure

But SOFT.

How do you think MJ would do if he was backing down little Rozier in the post the way Lebron does all the time with barely any doubling

MJ had to drive to the paint with legit two 7 footers waiting to blast his ass

Come on man, this game today is set up to help the stats, to help guys like Lebron and Curry and so many others guys.

If you dont realize that, you’re just lying to yourself

Lebron has the most series sweeps in NBA history
Against trash teams. Whenever he actually does play a good team, he always seems to need some kind of reason to have a game like this. The other team has to win a few games first. THEN he goes into this mode.

This is ridiculous. Nobody is capable of a Herculean effort every night. He's 33 to boot
He's capable of giving more effort than he does. It really seems like he saves most of it for games like this. It's predictable now.

Prisoners of the moment
MJ put up some insane numbers too. It's not like MJ wasn't capable of doing anything Bron does. Bron has to do more, and he does it against lesser competition. People see these stat lines he puts up and yeah, they're great. But don't act like MJ didn't do all that same stuff many times.

Has there ever been an argument in all of sports that is more exhausting than MJ vs. Lebron?

Lebron vs Kobe used to be pretty exhausting

I just realized Bron is getting this praise for beating a rookie, a sophomore and al horford in a game 6

I mean its pretty obvious to even a casual fan that Lebron does more out there than MJ did

But thats by design

Lebron built it this way. Its Lebron ball

If Lebron played in the triangle, not a chance he averages all those assists. The ball wouldnt be in his hands at all times

In this era, if MJ had shooters around him and the ball in his hands this much, his numbers or “overall” game would be insane. Breaking up defenses and finding shooters everywhere with ease

This era soft and it favors the offense more. Its an offensive friendly era

I had a math teacher in 8th grade who used to argue with students about how much better Kobe was. Every day.

Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning was in that category. Now it's Tom Brady vs Joe Montana.

Winning the scoring title, mvp, being on all defensive team, averaging 32 a game, playing 40 minutes a game at the age of 33 is all irrelevant tho if its something done better than what Lebrons doing

Lol oh man. Comical
 
Jordan averaged 32 at age 29, not 33. At least try and get your facts straight

Assuming that was about 7-8 years ago, he was absolutely right
