If Lebron > Jordan, does that mean Westbrook > Curry?

Does Jordan score better though?

30.1 PPG 49.7% FG 32.7% 3FG 83.5% FT 50.9% eFG

vs

27.4 PPG 50.4% FG 34.3% 3FG 73.6% FT 54.1% eFG

To me, that says they are about equal as scorers. So the argument would be that as scorers they are about equal, and Lebron is better at other aspects (I’m not making that argument, but that’s what it would be).

Your analogy is terrible. Plus Curry at least has shown he can be the best player on a title team, whereas Russ hasn’t even won a title playing with the likes of KD, Harden, PG.

LeBron James is probably the most efficient scorer we have seen. He passed Michael in all-time points on way fewer shots.

Westbrook has a poor basketball IQ, but he plays hard. Curry is the undisputed best shooter of all time and 3 time champion.

This was a poor comparison.

LeBron is better than Jordan because he plays in a more advanced time of Basketball than Jordan. He has been the best player for a decade in the deepest most talented era of basketball yet.

LeBron's elite court vision, passing ability, and prime athleticism separate him from Jordan. While Jordan had elite athleticism in his prime as well LeBron was more freak and had elite size for his position as well.

Jordan plays smart, Westbrook doesn't. That's the difference

Westbrook didn’t start playing defense until playoff P got in his arse about it.

Westbrook historically is meh defender.

Probably my least favorite argument of the Russ vs harden MVP talk was splitting hairs on their lack of defense.

With Lebron completely falling off I thought it was completely settled that Jordan is the GOAT. why are we even discussing this ?

In some cases yes, in this one, not so much.

Translated: When it conveniently aligns to confirm my own personal biases then it makes sense to count titles. When it doesn’t, then no.

Westbrook is a better defender,

Not really. Westbrook is not a good defender. He is a terrible off ball defender. He often loses his man, over helps, and takes too many unnecessary steak attempts.

LeBron is probably the most talented and versatile player to ever play the game, but Jordan is still the GOAT.

Westbrook is a horrible defender
Curry is average at worst.

Any advantage in creating for teammates Westbrook might have as a passer (and I'm not sure that he's even better at all) is dwarfed by Curry's off ball shooting and movement.
