I’m a younger guy 20 years old and I think Lebron is the goat

Saying top 10 though is foolish. Lebron and Jordan are easily 1A and 1B

You still wonder if Lebron is going to come through. Plenty of times he doesn’t

Amen. Also, Bron has a weak, entitled mentality. Jordan’s intensity rose above

Jordan made the NBA massive. Built off of Magic/Bird. LBJ hasn’t improved on that really.

In the US yes, globally no.

JoeExotic

6/16/21 7:49pm

That actually sounds familiar. I think the main growth is in China, but the bigger US audience contracted significantly.

Division Bell

There is no question MJ was more of a draw and more marketable

One could argue that Kobe took it international

You are wrong about the clutch stats for one.

youngcoug20

Finals Jordan 24-11. Lebron 15-31 before bubble. Swept twice in finals and lost

And how many times did Jordan lose in the first round?

Please. This is your argument. Please Celtics had 5 hall of famers and these

Yep. That Mavs final...beating his Superteam.

vabeachcoug

You could draw those conclusions if you didn't see them both play.

6/17/21 7:41am

Lol, Jordan carried his teams, imo his teams had less talent than LeMiss's

semisonic

6/16/21 7:28pm

Lol look at the records of the teams when lebron left the cavs and Jordan left

youngcoug20

6/16/21 7:31pm

You haven't watched Jordan's games and his teammates play, have you?

semisonic

6/16/21 7:35pm

He had Scottie Pippen arguably the best small forward of that era, Dennis Rodman

Imo, not past media analysis, Scotties level is about Thurl Bailey or

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Did you just say that Scottie Pippen is equal to Matt Harpring?

Michael Jordan would have never lost to the MAVS.

jr0b44

6/16/21 8:02pm

Rodman was good with Jordan for one year.

lilpenny

6/16/21 8:13pm

Pippin went to the Rockets and disappointed. LeBron…surrounded by stars.

thegoodmeister

6/16/21 11:34pm

Can't have it both ways; do Cavs years define LeBron or Heat/Lakers

krindorr

6/16/21 8:43pm

Jordan played both ends of the court and would shut down opposing best player

CougarGregor

Yup, amen! Just said the same thing, although without as much detail.

Pick any playoffs series MJ had and tell me which one he was more impactful

JoeExotic

6/16/21 7:55pm

LeBron is the evolutionary Magic Johnson. More athletic, makes players around him better, can play basically all 5

specsauce

6/16/21 7:32pm

I may get some heat for this but, watching all 3, I go Jordan then Kobe then

Countcougula

6/16/21 7:37pm

As far as enjoyability in watching their games, I agree with that list too

Turnpike Lane

6/16/21 8:06pm

I think Jordan had a higher peak while Lebron had a longer peak

machete

6/16/21 7:37pm

I’ll agree there with the Mavericks point

youngcoug20

6/16/21 7:39pm

He let his team lose to the ‘95 Magic

PHXSUNS31

6/16/21 7:45pm

That was #45 Jordan, not #23

CougarGM

6/16/21 7:49pm

Who's fault is that?

JoeExotic

6/16/21 7:58pm

My friend played on that magic team. And Jordan had just returned to nba.

Taccoug

6/16/21 7:49pm

Not an excuse in my opinion. He was in shape. The Magic were just better

PHXSUNS31

6/16/21 8:04pm

Baseball shape, not basketball shape.

machete

6/16/21 8:10pm

He had 21 games and 2 months of basketball before he played Orlando

PHXSUNS31

6/16/21 8:30pm

2 months is nothing, just ask lebron

machete

6/16/21 11:41pm

He swept the magic the next year.

Taccoug

6/16/21 8:25pm

Yes with Rodman joining the team

PHXSUNS31

6/16/21 9:05pm

I agree with you that he wouldn't let his team lose to the Mavs

JoeExotic

6/16/21 7:46pm

Like said, Jordan had just returned from 1.5 years off playing baseball

machete

6/16/21 8:10pm

Yep. I don't think he loses vs Mavs or beats warriors

JoeExotic

6/16/21 8:16pm

Watched it live and have watched it a time or 2 since bc schadenfreude lol

The game is different now- give MJ today’s rules and it wouldn’t be close

6/16/21 7:47pm

I watched a lot of MJ and LBJ

JoeExotic

6/16/21 7:48pm

Watch this video. Lebron does not have better stats and Jordan is the goat.

gp232

6/16/21 7:58pm

I've seen plenty of both.

JoeExotic

6/16/21 8:03pm

Exactly. Jordan was Must See TV. LBJ isn’t.

Turnpike Lane

6/16/21 8:10pm

I agree. I’ve never thought it was close. LBJ is phenomenal, but

OmahaThunderCoug

6/16/21 8:24pm

If I could buy a ticket to watch any of them in their prime, I pay to watch Jordan.

Turnpike Lane

6/16/21 8:09pm

Your welcome to your opinion, but I don’ agree. I believe Wilt is the greatest

Bullrider

6/16/21 8:15pm

The real question is how good would Jordan be if he played in this day

GSwarriorcoug

6/16/21 8:17pm

People have said Jordan would average 50 with today’s rules.

gp232

6/16/21 8:26pm

"People" is not really a strong authority or reference point.

GSwarriorcoug

6/16/21 8:42pm

Multiple ex NBA players. Better?

gp232

6/17/21 1:08am

Lebron is a better rebounder and passer, jordan better scorer.

LeBron is probably not even a top 5 current player in the NBA right now. Can
