just a fact.

and having to defend mj on the perimeter with 100% your feet.. that would be impossible.

i'd love to see the spurs play mj the way they played lebron. would have been ridiculous.

Imagine how much better Lebron would be defensively if he could hand check. Thanks for bringing this to my attention TWD

Fact: MJ never had a clutch game 7 finals performance.

They always won the series before making it to game 7.

at the end of the day, it is higher-variance for him not to take matters into his own hands. SA gave away game 6, MIA didn't take it. they got lucky. and I maintain that you can have Wade's contact or Allen's but not both. doesn't matter now, though.

will-imposing lebron eliminates most if not all of that risk. it will be interesting to see if he works on his 3-pt shooting this summer.

also because of the expansion era the league is watered down now, MJ played against much tougher teams

i mean the Spurs had like what, 3 good players? and labron still struggled mightily

confirmed not GOAT

couple that with the better 3-pt shooting, and lebron benefits from better spacing than mj could ever have dreamed.

kudos lebron. you play in an easier league. in the 80's/90's, there wasn't enough 3-pt shooting for lebron's game to be effective. just a fact despite the denial.

regardless, lebron's non-elite individual scoring ability will prevent him from being goat - magic johnsons are never goats.

if wade had played like scottie did in 98' instead of crushing it, lebron's offense would not have been enough.

I want to talk about the guy who won when there were fewer teams in the league who played before the game went global. Pretty sure it's easier to be the best team out of 26 than the best out of 30.

(in the NBA anyway)

And each team had 2 or 3 superstars?, like the lakers, pistons, knicks, cavs, suns, jazz, sonics ,etc?, ya, let's talk about him.

Pretty much this. If you compare careers up till now he's the GOAT, and it's more fun to call him that anyway.
