Its more fairer than a 21 year old 3rd year in the NBA comparing to a 21 year old rookie in the NBA. Lebron chose to go straight to NBA so frick it, that's how its going down.

Thank you.

I really think the numbers are about equal considering Jordan played for the best coach in NBA history and Jordan had a superior team to work with.

You should probably look at both. There are advantages and disadvantages that go with entering the league early. As such, it seems fair to look at both.

didn't assign any ratings, I said they were evidence. You want a one to one correlation so you can argue Tony Parker and Rasheed Wallace. Sports, movies, music and life don't work that way. Only dungeons and dragons and fantasy sports.

It is interesting that you rag on "fantasy" sports, then talk about your ability to observe will and determination.

Most of MJ's best statistical years were under doug collins. Same with Lebron with mike brown.

Or made him appear to be. A chicken and egg argument can be had.

Not really. I mean, maybe a couple of the years.

Someone can be my fricking guest recalculating lebron's numbers minus his first 3 years cause it ain't going to be me.

First, I'm not ragging on fantasy sports, but the mindset it has created in some fans. Second, how is that interesting?

Ah. The ten-year constraint. Thank you for narrowing the focus.

not really

development is typically followed by age, not years in the league

you think kobe was kobe 18-21?

So, are we saying that Phil Jackson just has to be the luckiest son of a bitch in NBA history considering he has won 5 rings without Jordan?

I don't think anyone can argue he isn't the most fortunate coach in NBA history. Doesn't mean he isn't the greatest (I think he probably is), but it gives room for the "Robert Horry" argument.

I've never once played any fantasy sport, myself.

And the second question, because i think it is a fantasy to think you have this ability to determine how much will and determination goes into each player while watching from your couch at home.

lbj 1st 10 years average: 48.8 FG%, 27.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 6.9 apg

Lebron's year 2 averages: 47.2 FG%, 27.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 7.2 apg

See you might have a point only that Lebron's 2nd year, he was on par or better in all of his 10 year statistical averages. Seems, lebron got to be lebron pretty quickly. Granted, i'll give you a learning curve his 19 year old rookie season.

It really isn't. People see that through effort and other things all the time. It isn't concrete, but it isn't nearly as abstract and un-observable as you want to make it.

There was only one question.

yeah, he's fricking awesome

but if you deny the age factor you're just trolling. and i mean even with superstars

go look at KG/Kobe and see how long it took them to become Kg/Kobe. it was typically when they were 22-23

What? I just forgot we were talking about the first ten years. I was looking at their entire careers. Put your sword away, sir.

so statistically MJ has the edge
accomplishment wise MJ has the edge
mental toughness, clearly MJ with an edge
but from a raw size and athleticism view, LeBron has the edge

welp, clearly LeBron is better, he has more "tools"
