Because the ball in the hands of the best playmaker and top 5 passing player in the league is maximizing opportunities to win basketball games. Why do you think Shane Battier and Ray Allen get so many open corner 3s passes from LeBron? Like duh.
Why would you want the best ball handler in the league to play off the ball? Why don't you tell Magic Johnson that playing off the ball would have created more opportunities for everyone else, and he'd be 9/9 in the finals instead of 5/9? I'm sure all the basketball savants in the world would agree with that.
I still think Jordan is the greatest player ever, but Jordan stans make the most horrendously bad arguments that it's so difficult to defend them. Stick to the 6 rangzz argument because honestly, that's the last thing left for LeBron to do. Strictly on the court, he's as good as Jordan ever was.
