he is the greatest athlete of all time, all sports considered

your guys descent into haterism is only going to push my dickriderism further

continue at your own PERIL

PancakeBrah · 06-09-2018, 05:54 PM

The Mavs finals is the only black mark on his record. He's been the underdog, Vegas wise, in every Finals he hasn't won. Maybe he was favored Heat v. Spurs II cant remember.

Someone's opinion of LeBron is really just a litmus test for whether they're analytics based or hot take based. By statistical metrics he's clearly the second best player of all time. But if you want to make impossible to prove arguments about killer instinct or clutchness or whatever other nonsense then yeah, you can strawman the hell out of him. Or try to say he's a cry baby, even though every NBA player bitches about calls and he's the most durable/toughest player in the league, physically.

For reference, Jordan's Bulls were favored in all 6 of his Finals. LeBron has been favored in 2 of 9. Now there could be some circular logic in this defense of LeBron, as in Jordan is better BECAUSE he was favored every time. But the fact is, you need context for everything. Is Lionel Messi a worse player when he loses in the World Cup than he is when he's winning leagues and tourneys for Barcelona? No. It's just the breaks with roster construction and team dynamics.

I'm no huge Lebron/Cavs stan. I just think his haters getting worked up to shit on him when they could just enjoy a literal GOAT candidate for 15+ years is funny.

Bron to rockets?
Bring him to my lakers. Ungh

Ps
Loom at the team he brought to the finals this year. Bron da god.

Pharaohs Army · 06-09-2018, 06:08 PM

I think that's a well-worded Lebron take for Pancake...

In my opinion Jordan was a better scorer, but Lebron is a better passer and rebounder.
Jordan could play good D...Lebron impressive with those chasedown blocks.

They both are the all-time greats.

The Warriors probably couldn't wait to play Cleveland sans Kyrie Irving.
We just beat this team 3-1 and now we get to play them without Irving? Guess what, 4-0.

As great as Golden State is... I think they would have lost if Chris Paul played game 6 or 7. Rockets had them on the ropes.

Amen · 06-09-2018, 06:12 PM

Jordan average defense > LeBron's on his best game.

PancakeBrah · 06-09-2018, 06:16 PM

Nah. Jordan's probably better but it's not some crazy disparity like you're making it out to be.

James has multiple top five DPOY finishes and was the key part to that Miami defense of switching and closing out everything. Defensive versatility, across positions, is an edge he has over Jordan. Like I said, on balance Jordan is probably better but LeBron was a world class defender at his peak.

uh-oh · 06-09-2018, 06:18 PM

i've been listening to all types of nonsense about how jordan would single guys out and lock them down defensively. and hey thats great that he had the luxury to do that. he couldn't defend all 5 positions and that would never be asked of him. him trading assignments with pippen is cute. lebron is expected to defend everyone. he's expected to do EVERYTHING. jordan was expected to be the cerebral scorer he was. and thats all well and great

but it always comes back to how you weigh it out. anyone objectively can see lebron james is the better basketball player.

5 ON 5 WHO WINS

5 JORDANS VS 5 LEBRONS

Look at Stockton’s field goal percentage and free throw percentage. The Stockton’s would whittle down the defense with mid range jumpers backdoor baseline layups and free throw and 1s.

Respect for showing Stockton love.
