Kobe is more skilled than lebron and lebron is the way better overall player

Lets not overrate skills

Kareem was more skilled than shaq and shaq would destroy that dude one on one

Lebron is not more skilled than Mike stephen a smith is overreacting as usual

definition of skill


nah, but he was naturally already fast. You can change your running technique to get faster but if you are slow, you are slow.

Learning how to play basketball (dribbling, shooting form, defensive positioning, screening, passing, etc) are all stuff that is learned. When its learned, that is a skill.

Jumping real high, you can maintain but if you dont have the potential to get a 40 inch vertical then you never will get a 40 inch vertical. Conversely, if you cant shoot a jump shot when you first start playing then you can learn how to properly and improve. Jason Kidd is an example of this. Why? Because shooting the ball is a skill.

You dont know shyt about basketball
b : dexterity or coordination especially in the execution of learned physical tasks


your brain skipped this?

Jordan is far more skilled, but stop this 80's and 90's being a better defensive era bullshyt.

Lebron is playin in a tougher defensive era now, defenses are far more advanced. nikkaz need to stop thinking more physical=better defense. Zones are legal and it's not as offensive happy as the 80's and early 90's. You had Kiki Vandegwhe averaged almost 30 PPG in 1984, come on breh:heh:

This is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during MJ's era(1985-1998).

Michael Jordan - 6 times
Chris Mullen - 6 times
Adrian Dantley - 4 times
Kiki Vandewedge - 4 times
Reggie Miller - 3 times
James Worthy - 3 times
Alex English - 3 times
Dale Ellis - 3 times
Magic Johnson - 2 times
Penny Hardaway - 2 times
Kevin Johnson - 2 times
Clyde Drexler - 2 times
Cedric Ceballos - 2 times
Mark Aguirre - 2 times
Gary Payton - once
Byron Scott - once
Rolando Blackman - once
Walter Davis - once
Jeff Hornacek - once
Otis Birdsong - once
Jeff Malone - once
George Gervin - once
Drazen Petrovic - once
Reggie Lewis - once
Derek Smith - once
Scottie Pippen - once



And here is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during the post-Lockout era(2000-2010).

Lebron James - once
Chris Paul - once
Tony Parker - once
Monta Ellis - once
Shawn Marion - once


So in MJ's era it was done 56 times by 26 different players.

In the last 11 years, it has been done only 5 times by 5 different players.

:heh: And I don't even like Bron

Every poster in this thread saying athleticism isn't a skill - is exposing themselves as never having been any kind of athlete beyond recess.

LeBron has done it twice now, Wade did it last year and KD did it this year as well.

Jordan could not guard Ewing and Dominique, Bron would've, while facilitating the offensive


were you alive or cognitive to even see mj play.

also,..i have seen mike come weak side and block ewing's j's and lay up.

plus i have seen him rip up ewing weakside in the post in ewing's sweetspot.

i have also seen the numerous dominique/mj early year one on one iso duels to dispute your bullshyt amd errant comments.

bron is not more skilled than mj.

as bron plays in the low ball iq zone d era.

incomparison mike played in the last high iq era.

plus mj,..played outta position at the pg,..which is bron's natural and averaged a triple double.

where bron shuns his natural.

plus at bron's natural he never averaged a triple double either.

mj was better defensively in the one on one defensive era and playing zone in college.

not to mention, mike was the original glove.

where somehow or another that handle was associated with another player wrongly.

no he is not,....bron does not even effectively attack a zone all game long like mj did in college.

where no zone or one on one could stop jordan.

you were not alive to see mj play every game as i was.

i know you do not know the facts.

you do not even know what a galaxy or sportschannel is or was, for starters.

LeBron James is the best player to ever play the game.


no he isn't.

if i took any mj out the time machine before the wizards and the not the mj in 45.

mj would have beat the spurs if i subbed in mj for bron.

then against the mavs,..i could haved subbed out both bron and wade and iced them to zero playing time for the whole series.


plus subbed in mj for them with a weaker player.

then mj, would have treated the mavs amd dunked all over chsndler like mark eaton for a ship, too.


fukk outta here with this bullshyt,......

mj is the goat period.....

best finisher, period,..best perimeter defender period
best dribble drive player period
best in game in traffic mechanical textbook trick shot artist period
best closer ever period.

best low post jumper shooter period.

etc etc etc,....

just stopthe bullshyt,...none of these dudes are jordan or will be close to jordan.
