re: How can you justify saying Magic>Lebron?

Lebron is the better scorer. There is no debate about that. He's a better defender by a good margin. He is a good passer, but he's not close to what Magic was.

---

I haven't missed many Heat games over the past 4 years and in my opinion, the one thing LeBron does better than anything is pass the ball. I am dead serious. He isn't as good a ball handler in the open courts as Magic but his vision is just as good as is the zip on his passes.

Huh? Did LeBron win DPOY and I didn't see it? You know there are players who have won MVP and DPOY, right?

---

The fact remains there has never been a player with that size and strength that could defend all 5 positions on the court as effectively as LeBron.
Name a previous DPOY that is capable of guarding David West, Paul George and Lance Stephenson all in the same game.

FACT - This thread is about the comparison between LeBron James and Magic Johnson

It's not about his talent. Obv he would be fine there. How would he react to Ewing, Mason, Oakley ect hacking the hell out of him and trying to get in his head? Big difference between that and Lance Stephenson talking trash.

LeBron gets mauled regularly. Tackled by Hinrich. Forearm smash to the throat by McRoberts. Horsecollared by Teletovic. Broken nose by Ibaka, His response to those recent incidents was to get off the floor and win an NBA championship.
