Lebron is 3-4 in finals; MJ is 6-0

That doesn't seem relevant to the conversation.

crack

The extra shots were needed to win and MJ has been more consistent

donnerstag

5/26/17 10:43am

He always scored 20+ except for these times when he didn't score 20

crack

5/26/17 10:48am

Now compare MJ's consistency with Lebron

Jordan lost in the first round 3 times. LeBron never has.

You claimed your purpose was to put LeBron's passing Jordan into context

Coop

5/26/17 10:07am

There are further implications of scoring

What does this have to do with anything?

It's even closer - 48.7% to 48.3%

Coop

5/26/17 10:14am

And add in that one shot long 2s (why did they think that was good???), while the other does not

TS% LeBron 57%, MJ 56%. TS as a stat >>>>>>> FG%

But he took 118 less shots so...

BYuckner

5/26/17 10:17am

lol. its the games that are irrelevant, if LeBron did it in less shots,

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:17am

Superiors TS%?? Id take 5 more points per game over an increase of 1% TS

Shteve

5/26/17 10:25am

You're going to take and refer to whatever confirms the decision . . .

Coop

5/26/17 10:29am

Your whole basis is "he took more shots." If their TS% and FG% are essentially

Shteve

5/26/17 10:37am

I don't have a basis; I'm not arguing that one is better than the other

Coop

5/26/17 10:44am

Of course shot attempts matter

Coop

5/26/17 10:20am

Efficiency is a pretty big deal.

It's not 118 shots over 179 games; it's 4.4 shots per game

Coop

5/26/17 10:47am

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue.

Lol the fact that he takes 4 shots less per game and has more assists tells you

thebruce

5/26/17 3:18pm

Jordan was absurd. He also averaged 5.7 apg, compared to James' 6.8. And

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/26/17 10:04am

LeBron 9 rebs, to MJ's 6.

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:19am

More 3s, more long rebounds, less bigs around the basket getting rebounds

Shteve

5/26/17 3:00pm

Both Lebron and Jordan were great in the playoffs. Why not use PER to compare

Baron

5/26/17 10:13am

As time goes on

LeBron could break everyone of Jordan's record but somehow the fan boys will

WDaddy

How old are you?

LifeLongLakerFan

5/26/17 10:24am

Oh there it is. It has to be age.

WDaddy

5/26/17 10:27am

It was a serious question. Age has a lot to do with this debate.

LifeLongLakerFan

5/26/17 10:29am

I was in high when Jordan won his first. So age isn't the issue here.

WDaddy

5/26/17 10:35am

Ok. That's why I asked. It matters to the credibility of someone's opinion.

LifeLongLakerFan

5/26/17 11:01am

I totally agree with that.

WDaddy

5/26/17 11:23am

Kobe's right in that conversation. . .

LifeLongLakerFan

Here's the biggest knock I think there is against Lebron James' playoff resume:

ldssdl

5/26/17 10:28am

70+ win teams eliminated:1 Lebron, 0 for everybody else so...

Baron

5/26/17 10:37am

In and of itself, that stat is pretty meaningless

Coop

5/26/17 10:46am

yeah, that's not accurate. and lockouts affect this stuff as well.
