Classic trolling. I give it to you MJ fans for that. When push comes to pull, you can always troll.

There you go again with your retarded ass posts.
MJ had better handles is wrong. MJ carried the ball most of the time. Hence a faction of the MJ rules and the play being diluted a gen later due to new wannabe MJ's coming up.
Had a better jumper. I would agree in terms of mid range, Lebron has more range on his shot.
You know damn well Lebron post game is superior to MJ. Lebron can post up centers, PF's, SF's, SG's and C's. Lebron can pass very well out of the post. That was a retarded statement. You are making a fool of yourself.
Lebron is a superior defender than MJ. Can guard four positions and spot at center. He play elite low post man defense, perimeter and off ball defense. Lebron is a superior defender to MJ via genetics and what he is capable by his size. Once again, you are coming off as a fanboy and someone who only see the game for highlights and passion.
Lebrons post game is garbage.That shyt looks awkward as fukk.I can't take you serious bruh how old are you? Cuz you sound like u never watched prime jordan or 2nd 3 peat jordan.
His game should have been more polished and perfected then :barkley:Cause he didnt go to college for three years huh
Took Lebron 3 years to make it to the Finals
Took Jordan 7
You still lose :yelaugh: :yelaugh: :yelaugh: :yelaugh:

This was from last season while he has worse post up numbers than this year.
Fact 1: LeBron James is posting up a lot more than he has in previous seasons.
Fact 2: LeBron James leads the league in field goal percentage from within five feet of the basket.

Are Fact 1 and Fact 2 related? Not really.
James is posting up almost twice as much as he did last season, a great thing for those of us who have been calling for him to develop a post game. But hes been less efficient in the post than he was a year ago, according to Synergy Sports.
James is posting up on 14 percent of his plays and scoring a little less than a point per possession on those post-ups (when he keeps the ball). Thats good, but not as efficient as hes been in the last two seasons in the post, mostly because hes not getting to the line as much.

Poss = Number of post-up possessions
PPP = Points per possession
%FT = Percent of possessions that result in free throws
James is taking 38 percent of his shots from within five feet of the hoop, up from 35 percent last season. But that increase has more to do with transition opportunities than post-ups. James is leading the league in fast-break points for the fourth straight season, but hes scoring a much higher percentage of his points on the break than he ever has.

In the restricted area
But James does occasionally turn a post-up into layups. In the three examples below, youll see him use both his size (first play) and agility (last two) to get to the basket.

Those last two buckets are evidence of some Hakeem-esque footwork that we dont often see from James.
In the paint
In addition to shooting more and better from within five feet of the basket, James has also increased his shooting percentage from elsewhere in the paint. In total, hes taking 48 percent of his shots from the paint and shooting them at 69 percent, up from 62 percent last season.
Here are a few examples of post-ups that turn into easy buckets elsewhere in the paint, even though his footwork could still use a little more polish

Passing out of the post
The outcry for James to post up more often was never only about his own shots. With the size of a power forward and the passing skills of a point guard, James can create as many or more good shots for his team by passing out of the post as he can by mastering the up-and-under.
When James has the ball on the perimeter, defenders can easily see both James and their own man at the same time. But when hes got the ball below the foul line, its harder to see both your man and the ball without turning your head.
According to Synergy, James has passed on 30 percent of his post-ups. And the Heat have scored 1.19 points per possession on those plays, as opposed to the 0.99 theyve scored when hes kept the ball.
Here are a few examples of James creating for others out of the post, with defenders clearly getting caught with their heads turned on the first and third plays

No...and I won't even entertain this shyt...Bron ain't better than Jordan...
MJ stans are the biggest idiots in sports, worse than Tebowbots or Matt Ryan homers. Logic goes completely out of the window with any of these clowns.
As a Bulls fan, I don't remember this
Going to the 2nd round and losing in game 7 with only less losses than the year before. That's a contender to me.
6 rings is better than 1 ring and getting ran out of your state
This is what your argument is? Rubbish opinions. MJ fans IQ: Under 100.
