In your opinion is the better mid range shooter between Jordan and Lebron?

Again avoided the question and responded with a question.

I never claimed Lebron has never had moments of being mentally strong. He did play very well and led his team against GS and the Spurs. He did show mental fortitude during those games. He has improved that aspect of his game. But he can be suspect in that regard at times. That is my point. Hopefully I have answered your question.

Now you're just fricking with everyone.

ETA: I see you've finally actually acknowledged his points.

What was the question? (Not being a smartass). I enjoy a good debate involving LeBron. (Full disclosure: I'm a huge LeBron fan)

Sorry to chime in so late.

There you go. Back and forth is key to a good discussion.

That was at least the second time you responded to his question by just asking a different question. And you cannot be oblivious to that fact. Therefore you are fricking with us.

Sorry for that, Or is there another question I didn't answer yet?

Now, my 2 questions.

Which player you rather in the finals?

Who does everyone consider to be a better mid-range shooter.

Jordan

Jordan

Neither of these answers makes Lebron not top 2 for me.

Assuming this question is open to the public.

LeBron. He has the ability to take over an entire series like no one else.

MJ. LeBron's strong suit has never been his shooting, but he has continued to improve over his career. He's actually shooting somewhere around 40% from three lately IIRC.

Yall are insane. LeBron is a physical specimen. He would've adapted to the gameplay at that time.

Only a completely biased person would agree with such a ridiculous post. Thanks for making it easy for me to distinguish you from the solid knowledgeable posters.

Jordan, nothing can be said for him that isn't known. He did everything the right way. He answered all challenges and conquered all before him. One of the reasons for his greatness-names of players that were denied championships because of him (P. Ewing, C. Barkley, K.Malone, J. Stockton, C. Drexler, S. O'Neal, K. Johnson, A. Mourning, R. Miller, G. Payton, S. Kempf, D. Wilkins) to just name a few. Once Jordan won his first, I don't think most ppl doubted who was going to win the championship every year. He never backed down, never shied away from competition. Oh, we are going to have a slam dunk competition. No problem, I will go battle what probably is considered the best dunker of all time and beat him (maybe a little home court advantage). Scoring leader every year, no problem. Defense, yeah just won defensive player of the year. He went through the toughest of the tough, Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Pacers. He was the ultimate competitor, alpha male, winner.

MJ definitely didn't do everything the right way. I think we can all agree on that.

Well one of my problems with Lebron has always been his free throw shooting. I feel like his inability to shoot a better than average percentage is partly because of his sometimes mental weakness. A player of his caliber should shoot a better percentage and be even better in the playoffs. I have seen him miss a number of important free throws that I would think can be attributed to pressure of the situation. This is where a player should show their mental toughness.
