What does Michael Jordan do better than LeBron besides score?

[Supreme365]

LOLI guess you can tell yourself anything when you basically shytted on every legend mentioned.

No one's taking anything from Lebron, he's a great defender, especially in the paint.

But you asked a question...I answered it ...Jordan had to guard every superstar from the 1-4. Bird, Magic, K Malone, Barkley, I. Thomas, James Worthy, J Dumars, Drexler, R Miller, KG, the list can go on...you keep pretending if Dan Marjle was his competition or something.

Mj wasn't guarding Malone,Barkley kemp or any other big from his era and pippen guarded magic during that first finals

Jordan's quick crossover in traffic is one of the more overlooked aspects to his game. It's a combination of reflexes, dribbling skill and basketball IQ. There are some point guards today who can't make that move.

Dude would beat the perimeter defender, get into the 2nd layer then make that quick move and dash towards the rim, usually ending in some incredible finish.

It should be up there with his fadeaway when it comes to signature moves honestly.

 

[Draje]

all of this is a load of bullshyt that's already been refuted in this thread and other threads numerous times.

Lebron took Eric Snow and Larry Hughes an nem to the finals in a historically weak east, and to this day his bytch ass has stayed in the eastern conference for a reason and only won his first two titles with two top FIVE, not top ten, top FIVE players from the same motherfukking draft class.

Jordan wasn't ALLOWED to go straight from high school numb nuts, but I'll give you(maybe) that he wasn't the physical specimen Lebron was at 18
that doesn't mean Lebron is the overall better player though.



Toni Kuckoc ain't no borderline HOFer you dumb nikka, you


and now we KNOW YOU TALKING OUT YOUR MOTHERfukkING ASS when you said "it took until he got 3 hall of famers on one team for him to win in Pippen, Rodman...."


you STUPID SON OF A bytch, he had already won BEFORE Rodman got there in the first threepeat. as far as scottie goes, MJ made that man the player he was and this is common knowledge.
unless your stupid ass honestly believes Scottie becomes a HOFer without playing with MJ



and the real kicker is how you bring up Lebron entering the league earlier and playing more minutes than MJ is that really demonstrates that MJ is indeed better. he's accomplished more in less time
6-0 in the Finals>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
not getting shytted on and literally outscored by the likes of Jason Terry in an NBA FINALS>>>>>>>>>>>
showing up big and not shrinking when it literally counts the most>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....



it prolly took you HOURS to come up with that diarrhea diatribe of falsehoods and lies


we can tell you never saw the GOAT play
nikkas out here grasping at straws and BALD FACED LYING to make bron better, pathetic



if I could neg you on sight for the rest of the Coli's existence I would for this dumb shyt




I'm looking forward to more lies from you
be safe tho



*edit* stop copying and pasting the first answer you see on Quora that supports your argument breh

shytting on Lebron's first two rings is straight bullshyt and shows me you didn't even watch the East. Wade was getting his knee drained and was playing injured for a good chunk of the playoffs whereas Bosh literally tore his groin so bad that he missed most of the Pacers/Celtics (The Celtics which went 7 games) and immediately needed surgery after they beat OKC in the finals.

Lebron absolutely earned that ring and carrying two extremely injured (2nd and third options) to a championship is amazing.

Lebron absolutely earned that ring and carrying two extremely injured (2nd and third options) to a championship is amazing.

From game 1 of Heat/pacers through the first 5 games of Heat/Celtics, Bosh played 25 total minutes over an 11 game span (13 in the first half of game 1 in the semifinals and 12 minutes in game 5 of the conference finals). 25 out of 538 minutes, with games 2 and 4 of the conference finals going to overtime. That's a long time to be playing without someone whose skill set was basically irreplaceable given what the team's other big men were capable, or I should say incapable of.

nope, it just bolsters my argument that the east was weak

How does that help your argument? the man got through a postseason and won it all while his 2nd and 3rd option were injured. Does losing to the Celtics or Pacers change the narrative that the East was competitive? No it doesn't, it just would give you license to shyt on LeBron.

If LeBron wins, it's because the East is weak.
If LeBron loses, it's because he's weak.

I'm not one in here saying Bron is the GOAT but do yall give him credit for anything besides "flop, whine, create super teams?"

LeBron haters aren't much different than Kobe stans, in fact they're frequently the same people . Little more than barbershop talk, quality talking points, and a lot of double standards and goal post moving. You won't find any real substance in their arguments. He took a d league team to the finals at 22 and at 23 pushed the 66 win best defense in the league/best record in the league Celtics with 3 all stars and the defensive player of the year and the coach of the year to game 7 while dropping 45 in game 7 and people tried to place the blame for them not winning on him. The same people arguing that he had the coach of the year and that brown was good enough are the same people who insisted the lakers needed to fire brown so kobe could have a shot at numbers 6. The same people whining about "creating superteams" are the same ones who wanted him to stay in Cleveland because they knew that team never stood a chance to win a title no matter what he did. Basically the same roster minus him the next year had a 26 game losing streak at one point

 

[Goatpoacher]

Is Lebron better than Tim Duncan?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

So now he doesn't have any type of handle bruh. [ Might not be Steph Kyrie with it but the man is like 6'8 260. Ya'll acting like his handle is Mailman status or something when it's more on the level of someone like Mashburn's (but better) or LJ (but much better).

Might literally be the worst handles highlight tape I've ever seen

Well being that scoring is the most important aspect of basketball, you can say Jordan was significantly better than LeBron in the main object of basketball.

Not to say other aspects aren't as important, but the main object is to put the ball through the hoop, at which LeBron isn't even close as evidenced by Jordan's 172 40 plus-point games, compared to LeBron's sixty 40 plus-point games.

Jordan had forty-one 50-point games compared to LeBron's 9.

While some may accurately argue that LeBron is a more versatile defender, that's more due to his size and athleticism than actual skill. LeBron NEVER achieved 100 blocked shots in a single NBA season.

Jordan accomplished this feat, twice 131 blocked shots and 125 blocked shots, while also having 236 steals and 259 steals (league leading) respectively. LeBron highest was 93 blocked shots in a season and never had more than 137 steals in a season. People forget that Jordan was at one time considered the best offensive player in the NBA AND the best defensive player - as evidence by his winning Defensive Player of the Year, while also winning the Scoring Title.

Jordan has led the NBA in steals in 3 separate seasons, LeBron never. And before anyone says that steals can also reflect recklessness, that NEVER applied to Jordan - who is considered to be one of the highest IQ basketball players ever.

Jordan is a much better shooter, which again is offense, but let me elaborate, just because Lebron has a similar FG% doesn't mean he's just as good. Jordan scored at a MUCH higher clip.

Jordan was a much better Free throw shooter 84% to LeBron's 73%. LeBron also gets a little shook during free throws in clutch time, when he has time to think about the moment. Jordan NEVER got shook at the free throw line during crunch time.

Steals, Freethrows, blocked shots, scoring, and leadership goes to Jordan.

LeBron is a better rebounder and averages more assist (but a lot of players in the NBA had more rebounders and assists than Jordan).

I wouldn't necessarily say LeBron is a better play maker than Jordan, because when Jordan was switched to Point Guard in the 1988 season he averaged 32.5 ppg, on 53% shooting, with 8 rebounds (weighing 50 lbs less and 2 inches shorter than LeBron), with 8 assists, 85% from the FT line, with 3 steals per game, I challenge anyone to find a better season by LeBron.

I'll give rebounds and assists to Lebron, with the caveat that Jordan could easily average the same number of assists if he CHOSE to, like he did in 1988. LeBron couldn't score as easily as Jordan, unless refs allowed him to barrel his way to the basket.


To say "besides scoring, what else is Jordan better at" is stupid when that's pretty much the whole point of the game. It's like saying besides knocking muthaphukas out what else was Tyson good at during his prime? When the main object in boxing is to knock a muthaphuka out!!!

Nonetheless, I just educated you on what else Jordan was better at. LeBron is a better human being, he can beat Jordan on social issues. On basketball, he will never catch MJ.

I could keep going, but I'm gonna fall back.

Oh, and if you going to respond....address the FACTS that I just posted, not your opinions.

Y'all can close the thread now

When they say a player has that “It” factor that is the proverbial “ice water” in their veins that will not let them lose. In addition, having an “It” factor doesn’t just mean you elevate you’re game, you make everybody around you better.

The “ice water” is what Jordan is known for and why he is an icon. He just would not let you lose. Game-winning shot after game-winning shot, when you needed it he gave it to you. Jordan just had it. His motor wouldn’t let him fail and that hard work ethic made him into one of the most feared athletes in the world.

So he wins this right?

No.

He doesn’t because LeBron does one thing that Jordan wasn’t great at and that was make his teammates better.

Yes Jordan was great but he was drafted in 1984 and didn’t go to the NBA Finals until 1991 which was 7 years later. At just 22-years-old, LeBron had his first NBA Finals appearance with players like Eric Snow, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Daniel Gibson, Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden and Damon Jones. LeBron missed the playoffs in his first two seasons but in just his second time making the playoffs, he made it to the NBA Finals.

He has dominated the Eastern Conference. He has never lost in the first round. The East is weak but look at other heralded superstars in the East like Carmelo Anthony and Paul George and look at where their teams are at in the standings.

LeBron just has “It.” He will not settle for less than success and his team will always be in the top-tier of the NBA.

Stats
The thing LeBron was most heralded for when he came into the league was his ability to fill a stat sheet. LeBron has Jordan-like athleticism with the ability to pass like Magic and he can guard any position on the floor. Jordan was also multi-dimensional and able to lead the league in multiple categories. He’s also won a Defensive Player of the Year award.

Still, this category has to go to LeBron because of the milestones he has reached. He is the youngest to reach almost every point milestone there is.

People will say that is not fair because Jordan went to college. That argument only adds to LeBron’s greatness.

LeBron was a four-year varsity player and the “phenom.” He drove a Hummer to high school and signed autographs like he was already in the NBA.

Jordan was struggling to make his varsity team is freshman year.

Jordan spent three years in college.

LeBron never touched a college campus and skipped the college ranks for the NBA.

LeBron’s numbers are consistent every year averaging around 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists for his career. At this pace, LeBron could become the NBA’s all time leading scorer. Jordan is fourth after Kobe passed him last year.

Jordan’s career stats are 30 points a game, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Lebron’s accolades are three-time NBA champ, three-time Finals MVP, four-time MVP, two-time All-Star MVP, 12-time All-NBA, 13-time All-Star, 6-time All-Defensive Team he’s a 12 time all NBA player and Rookie of the Year in the 2003-2004 season.

Jordan’s accolades are six-time NBA champ, six-time Finals MVP, five-time MVP, three-time All-Star MVP, 11-time All-NBA, 14-time All-Star, nine-time All-Defensive team player, he’s a 11-time All-NBA player, Defensive Player of the Year in 1987-1988 and Rookie of the Year in 1984-1985.

Their accomplishments are pretty much the same and if you think about the fact that LeBron still has years left to play it’s safe to say that LeBron will shatter Jordan’s accomplishments.

Their field goal percentage is almost identical. Jordan shot 49.7 percent from the field his career and LeBron shot 50.0 percent for his career. Their efficiency is why they are the players that they are.

LeBron in his rookie year scored 20.9 points per game, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Jordan in his rookie year scored 5.9 assists and 6.5 rebounds.

Jordan clearly had the better rookie season but if you remember LeBron was only 18 and straight out of high school. He wasn’t a great shooter in the beginning of his career. Jordan was 21 and more mature.

LeBron when he was 21 averaged 31.4 points, six assists and 6.7 rebounds.

People will say that Jordan was a better shooter and LeBron can’t shoot but LeBron’s shooting percentage of 34.2 from three for his career is better than Jordan’s 32.7 percent for his career.

You can say that he is averaging more points a game than LeBron but LeBron only shoots the ball on average for his career 19.6 times and Jordan shot the ball 22.9 times a game on average. More shots equal more points.

In the playoffs the stats are the same. Jordan is averaging more points a game with 33.4 points with about 25 shots a game and LeBron has less shots a game with about 21 and only averaging 28 points a game.

LeBron is the ultimate pass-first player but when he wants to assert himself that is when he takes over games.

With these stats it is clear to see that LeBron will do more to help the players around him.

Conclusion
LeBron wins this comparison 2-1.

LeBron has just done more to help the players around him. He has dominated on the court and off the court in an era where there is social media and the athlete is under a 24/7 microscope. He has handled everything with maturity ever since high school and now in his fourteenth year in the league.

It’ll be interesting to see the heights that LeBron will take his career in these next upcoming years.


The reason why Lebron is the goat because he does things MJ could never do like make his team mates better

It took until he got 3 hall of famers on one team for him to win in Pippin, Rodman and borderline one in Tony

Lebron took Larry Hughes, Eric Snow and Boobie Gibson to the finals in his 4th year in the league while it took jordan 7 years

you just proved that you never watched MJ from the jump.

Kukoc borderline HOF?

You know he won 3 straight before Rodman right?

MJ got 2 3peats, Lebrick don't even have 1 yet

This man ain't better than MJ
