Lebron all day long. Jordan is a scrub

LeBron is better at pretty much every facet of the game of basketball in addition to being bigger, stronger and faster. That said, he doesn't have that insatiable competitive drive that Jordan had, which is what elevated Jordan to such great heights.

So IDK. Probably LeBron because he didn't get suspended for his gambling addiction.

Jordan

5/8/2020 3:27:44 PM

LeBron

5/8/2020 3:57:15 PM

oh btw i vote jordan

so vote tally is tied 4-4 Jordan-Lebrony

or 4-5 if we wanna go ahead and include thegoodlife3's vote since he hasn't used his overwhacked lime juice stained hands to visit this thread yet and vote.

5/8/2020 4:02:12 PM

Jury is still out. Lebron hasn't sucked as an executive yet.

I mean he's a pretty terrible defacto GM already

"Jordan . . . Kobe . LeBron"

that's funny. so Kobe is better than Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Bird and Magic as well? lol

^How many in that group had a pair of balls so massive that it brought down a helicopter?

5/9/2020 9:19:11 PM

The size of Larry Bird's gigantic testicles is well-documented

5/9/2020 9:35:04 PM

Jordan

5/9/2020 10:18:57 PM

jordan during the finals, lebron any other time

Chuck Klosterman has a pretty interesting take on this in the latest Bill Simmons podcast. Essentially arguing that LeBron is better at basketball, but MJ is a better basketball player (which includes all of the intangibles/importance to the game/etc.).

I tend to agree, although The Last Dance definitely reminding me how easily MJ could just flip that switch.

5/11/2020 11:30:59 AM

So Chuck Klosterman stole my idea. What a hack.

After LBJ went back to Cleveland and won them a title, he was #1 for me. He had the best Finals series ever IMO the year they lost to GSW and Kyrie/Love were out.

Just compare Cavs records with and without him since he entered the league.

And then look at what the Bulls did during MJs forced "retirement" and playing baseball.

5/11/2020 1:45:15 PM

MJ wasn’t forced to retire

it’s time for that conspiracy theory to go away

5/11/2020 1:50:16 PM

With time goes by, MJ is more and more like Curry, while King James is standing out. GSW's three championships in four years is the best record in the 2010s. Also Curry and Jordan are both great shooters.

Why? Because a Michael Jordan approved/edited "documentary" said it didn't happen? This show isn't about the truth, it's about Michael Jordan's version of the truth.

OH MAN THEY INTERVIEWED STERN AND JORDAN AND THEY SAID IT TOTALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN SO LET'S JUST BELIEVE THEM. OH ALSO JORDAN TOTALLY WAS GONNA MAKE THE MAJORS

5/11/2020 3:17:16 PM

Jordan is basically a jump man. But James can play in the low post, block shots, and make passes.

5/12/2020 9:11:13 AM

well put shoot

5/12/2020 9:27:24 AM

He actually copied everything from Bird, then Kobe copied him.

5/12/2020 9:36:58 AM

If Lebron wins the championship this season or just leads Lakers to the Finals, this discussion is over.

6/10/2020 10:00:25 AM

Jordan is a better fisherman

6/10/2020 12:16:12 PM

He is fishing at Lake Norman?

6/10/2020 1:34:43 PM

Jordan for me, simply because I would want him on my team over Lebron if we were playing for a title. Interesting stats:

Jordan Per Game LeBron
30.1 Points 27.1
6.2 Rebounds 7.4
5.3 Assists 7.4
2.3 Steals 1.6
0.8 Blocks 0.8
2.7 Turnovers 3.5
38.3 Minutes 38.4
49.7 Field goal % 50.4
32.7 3-point % 34.4
83.5 Free throw % 73.5


Jordan Totals LeBron
1,072 Games 1,258
32,292 Points 34,087
6,672 Rebounds 9,353
5,633 Assists 9,298

Catch-23 is a pretty cool name for his boat.

6/10/2020 1:51:54 PM

Jordan

but it's a tough decision. there are a lot of attributes and stats that LeBron has that i'd prefer. but it's the absolute mad-dog mentality of MJ that can't be overlooked and overcome.

6/17/2020 10:05:01 PM

the real question is when will Giannis surpass Lebron as the GOAT
