So the numbers in the OP are fudged and incorrect, because this is floating around on FB.

I knew there was no way he put this together

In any event, Lebron > MJ

On what fricking planet is this a net positive for MJ?

Well, lets see . . . .

1) He was the NBA champ when he left, and once again when he returned. So its safe to say you could add 2 more championships, bringing him to 8 v Lebrons 3.

2) Same applies to Finals MVP titles

3) Also, at least 1 more MVP award (if not 2)

4) Probably 12x scoring champ to Lebrons 1

5) And, 11x defensive team, to Lebrons 5

6) Plus he would be about 5,000 points ahead of Lebron on the all-time scoring list


Yeah, those 2 years would have widened the gap significantly

Except he came back in 95 and lost in the playoffs that year.

Shouldn't you be busy making idiotic claims about lebron's defense and moving goalposts to defend those claims?

He played a whopping 17 games, dumbass

Being there all year, would have meant a world of difference; just in the seeding for Chicago alone

Jordan was undisputedly more feared, more beloved, more successful in the finals and played on greater teams.

Lebron is undisputedly a better passer, more versatile, a better 3 point shooter, and more efficient.

MJ never lost when it counted... (except all those times he did- Celts/Pistons in the 80s, Magic in the 90s.

Lebron never had a single teammate as good as Pippen in his prime, and also didn’t have Phil Jackson.

Michael has a better resume’... but would 5 MJs beat 5 Lebrons in a game? hell no.

So you guys keep arguing. Enjoy it. I saw them both. And it was incredible. Cant wait to see who’s next.

How did this make sense in your head?

Would 11 Peyton Mannings beat 11 Von Millers?

Would 9 Nolan Ryans beat 9 Bryce Harpers?

Seeding? He couldn't even get his team to the eastern conference finals because of seeding?

Lebron just got his team to the NBA finals as a 4 seed, but Jordan can't bring the bulls any further than they got the year before without him as a 5 seed? shite, they even won 3 games in the 94 semifinals against a better team compared to 2 games with Jordan the next year.

Because basketball players play offense and defense.

How did it make sense in your head to pit 11 offensive football players against 11 defensive football players? Or 11 pitchers against 11 batters? You really are a moron.

one thing that i dont see get mentioned in the mj debates often enough is the fact that the rockets (western conference team) won the championship when mj retired the first time.

when mj retired a second time in 1998 the west won the title the next five years. which begs the question, how good was the east really?

Dude, just admit that was a stupid as hell point to make.

Comparing baseball players and football players to NBA players in that way doesn't work at all.
