So it's not really basketball, it's run you over ball. Got it.

POLL: With Pippen's recent remarks on Lebron, I'm curious about what CB thinks- Who's the better basketball player: MJ or Lebron?

Michael might average 50-60 in todays nba
CarolinaCoug

he would have scored less
Josef K

How?
Sandy Lyle

Everyone scored more than they do now in his 86-87 year
Josef K

You should do some research and then realize you don't know what you are
kimdaddy35

There were more points or equal points scored without 3 point shooting
Belboz

They averaged .8 possessions more per game in '86-'87 than they do
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:28pm
And how about last year and the year before that?
Belboz
2/14/19 1:50pm
What does Lebron James have anything to do with comparing how much Michael
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:54pm
Maybe nothing. 80s basketball was faster paced than what we've seen since
Belboz
2/14/19 2:02pm
Nope. Still stands. I’m going off completed seasons.
Josef K
2/14/19 1:28pm
You go by what you said even though it is wrong? LOL. Why not compare it to
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:31pm
Average score per team was 105 or above until Jordan’s first retirement

You are ignoring the point of the argument regarding the physical nature of

Overrated. Here’s highlights from the 89 playoffs vs the knicks

Watch some video of when the Bulls played the Pistons. You are right, it

Sure. The last couple years of jordans career

Jordan couldn't be hand checked and grabbed the whole time. He would be
Sandy Lyle

agreed, the NBA was so much more physical. defenders could get away with so

The game was not more physical in the 80s. It was actually faster paced and
Josef K
2/14/19 1:11pm
Then the Pistons came along.
Belboz
2/14/19 1:21pm
Why did they score less points then?
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:21pm
So there is this thing called the 3-pointer that teams shoot now... 3>2.
Devouring1
2/14/19 1:23pm
Which helps make the game higher scoring. A direct contradiction to what he
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:29pm
He is referring to the pace and amount of scoring The amount was higher.
Devouring1
2/14/19 1:39pm
Teams average 100 possessions per game today, in 1986-87 they averaged 100.8
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:42pm
I think the reason we are on different pages is simple.
Devouring1
2/14/19 2:20pm
But most of Jordan's career was in the 90's, when the pace had already slowed
Game Changer
2/14/19 6:58pm
They didn’t. This is the only year of lebron’s career that scoring has been
Josef K
2/14/19 1:26pm
The average point totals today are higher than they were in 86-87, so you
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:29pm
but his point stands that for the most part of lebron's career scoring and pace
smokymountainrain
2/14/19 1:44pm
Why are we talking about mid-80's? He was referring to 86-87 and whether
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:46pm
86-87 was mid-80s. and sure, it wasn't way more, it was just a little bit more
smokymountainrain
2/14/19 1:47pm
But you are ignoring the physical nature of the late 80's. If you were alive
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:58pm
the physicality is overstated. but even if you don't believe that, i'm not sure
smokymountainrain
2/14/19 2:13pm
It was both faster paced and more physical. Those are not mutually exclusive.
Game Changer
2/14/19 6:49pm
He shot more free throws per game than Harden in 88.
Devouring1
2/14/19 1:19pm
and Harden would have shot 25% less if he played back in the 80's

2/14/19 2:07pm
Thats such a silly argument. It's like the players are getting worse over the

you're wrong. basketball is literally the only sport on the planet where guys

Chris Bosh the other day said Dwayne Wade would have scored 40 a game if he was
Dillinger
2/14/19 1:27pm
see, comments like this are so dumb. if that's the case, why isn't lebron or
smokymountainrain
2/14/19 1:30pm
i'm not so sure it's as silly as it sounds. MJ had 37ppg in an era with far less
macaroni
2/14/19 1:37pm
actually, pace is about the same now as it was mid -80s

this is why i added more to the argument. i could have also added that watered

One on One I'll take Lebron all day. If I'm putting together a team, I'll take MJ first every time
IceBlueCoug
2/14/19 1:02pm
I agree. Lebron is much more physical than MJ was
Croweater
2/14/19 1:04pm
He is bigger. Not sure I would say more physical.
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:16pm
One on one lebron just backs him down and dunks every time
Croweater
2/14/19 1:22pm
Wrong on this. MJ can foul him and LBJ is terrible at FTs.
notsofast
2/14/19 1:28pm
Who calls fouls playing 1on1
IceBlueCoug
2/14/19 1:29pm
James Harden definitely would.

2/14/19 1:55pm
So it's not really basketball, it's run you over ball. Got it.
notsofast
2/14/19 2:19pm
Lol, then why dont teams do this to him now? Cause he always gets the and-1..
Devouring1
2/14/19 1:30pm
LeBron is not a good FT shooter, really not that great of a shooter,
notsofast
2/14/19 2:23pm
Right...eyeroll
kimdaddy35
2/14/19 1:44pm
uhh
Cougz19
2/14/19 2:13pm
One on One? Would Labron beat Wilt? Kareem? Magic? Shaq? Malone? I'd say nope.
Benfica1
2/14/19 1:42pm
Pippen would have you believe that the better question is LeBron vs. Kobe.
garyfan
2/14/19 1:06pm
That is the better question. LeBron is closer to Kobe than Jordan.
Game Changer
2/14/19 6:50pm
Crazy. And not because LeBron is necessarily as good as MJ but because

in terms of that comparison the only thing i know for sure is that

Different players in different eras with different rules

Is this the same Scottie Pippen that said he was better than Lebron?
