that's because many critics and pundits don't know what we know in itt. they are just now getting put on to it.
lebron plays the pg style and generally takes his time making decisions, so substantially all of ray ray's looks come off of penetration where the defense can see the penetration coming and is closing out better.... as opposed to kerr's looks, which come with more time on the clock, and the look better because it is initiated off more unpredictable post play.
it's not a quantitative argument (although plenty of numbers could be applied to it), but it shouldn't be hard to understand either.
so kerr gets better looks than ray ray does. kerr got phenomenal looks.
and it has 100% to do with the difference in style of play of lebron and mj... one guy likes to take his time with the ball and spends time dribbling the ball a lot more, and the other guy operates more off the catch and acts very quickly, which intuitively, gives teammates more time to handle the rock and be threats.
as a result, lebron leads one playmaker teams, mj led multiple playmaker teams.
multiple playmaker teams > one playmaker teams. i'll say it until my fingers go numb.
