What does Michael Jordan do better than LeBron besides score?

Jordan is way better at not losing in the Finals.

Win

 

[Poitier]

Better volume scorer
Better footwork
Better mid post game
Better midrange shooter
Better ballhandler
Better on-ball defender
Better of-ball defender
Better rebounder given his size

Is that a serious question?

If we are being honest, Kyrie had a last shot, singular...Bron had a last few, plural.

I'd take Bron with the ball and his ability to create whether it be for himself or others. And once again, we saw all those guys fold in those very situations just last year while Bron thrived. It's hilarious how you are pushing this talking point despite the cold hard ass evidence to the contrary.

I trust Lebron in the game....just not to take the last shot from mid range or in the perimeter over other players

I'd take Jordan with either shot in any situation.

Bolded is scoring.

Fam, this isn't boxing where nikkas have Pound-for-pound. You re either a better rebounder or you're not. Who'd he guard that was a complete offensive player?

Its the different ways MJ can score that sets him apart. MJ is the better defender as well. Jordan was a better leader. Bron still top 5

the flaw in Bron's game is that he doesn't have any fakes/pump fakes. what you see is what you get with Bron. when he's driving to the lane and his defender is on his hip you don't see him use a fake or shot fake to get the defender in the air and get an easier bucket. If he's not on the break or has a head of steam coming downhill his buckets are difficult because he doesn't keep his defender guessing with any type of fakes.

Lmao what?

Lebron is at his most dangerous when using his jab step to keep defenders guessing and he's even better at using it to get himself enough space to knock down in rhythm threes (Which is why his three point percentage has skyrocketed even though he's taken more isolation threes).

He's also extraordinarily gifted at selling fakes with his eyes to open up clear lanes to whip the Ball while he's in traffic and moving with the ball. Lebron is one of the best sleight of hand passers in the league and those are only capable because of his fakes.

One of Lebrons major gifts is that he's good at rebounding his own missed shot in the paint.
Th dude will go in the paint...miss the shot...rebound it about 2-3 times, make it on the last attempt and get fouled.
No hate...that's just what I see

Jordan and Kobe on the other hand, are "finesse" players...they have a intuitive ability and quickness off the dribble and adjust their body on any given shot when they have to. LBJ doesn't really do that...he's more a Jerome Bettis/Marion Butts/ Christian Okoye in the paint

Lebron is one of the most skilled slashers and best finishes of all time. Entire teams literally pack the paint and play Lebron for his drive or to contest him at the rim but he's still able to maneuver down there and get the ball into the rim better than anyone. Breh, do you watch Lebron play consistently? His ability to absorb contact, adjust his body, and finish with the kinda touch he does as 6'8 255 - 265 beast is otherworldly.

Magic, Bird, Barkley, Malone, D Wilkens, Drexler, Kemp, KJ, J Dumars, I. THomas...and just every other HOFer/Superstar

Scoring is the most important aspect of the game Notice you skipped over the defense too.
And yes, rebounding RESPECTIVE TO YOUR POSITION does matter. A center who grabs 6 rebounds despite being around the rim is not better than a shooting guard who gets 5. Smarten up

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

Nothing really if we keeping it 100 they like even

Thats usually when the convo turns towards calling lebron a ''bytch'' etc :LmaoMj:

The prob is you cant argue this with nikkas over 30 cuz their view jordan as untouchable, thats just the way it is tho, the next generation will view kobe/bron etc as untouchable and be shytting on the giannis etc

This is the next generation and Jordan is still viewed as the goat.

No disagreement there...the man can take a foul, and finish in the paint. He can rebound his own missed shot multiple times in the paint. He's great at that.

What's your basis for that, aside from narratives...like your basis in fact and what has actually happened? If we talking Mike, there is no debate but you sat here and told me you would take a bunch nikkas that choked away 3-1 leads last year over a dude that went nuclear (plenty of jumpshots included) to come back from a 1-3 deficit and scored 8 of the last 11 in the deciding game (seriously what is more clutch than that) and why...because they are better jumpshooters in the first 46 minutes in the regular season?

 

[Brozay]

Not fukk up the team's rhythm by being an a$$hole which equals more wins?

Sounds like you got nothing

 

[HabitualChiller]

you wildin....he guarded every top player from the 1-4 position....on any given night he was guarding Magic, Bird, D Wilkins, R Miller, K Malone, Barkley, Drexler etc etc between the late 80s and 90s

Magic and Bird had no shot a getting around him because they lacked athleticism(THE reason why Magic wouldn't be able to play point guard in this league). Oh, you mean Clyde "look at the ball while I dribble" Drexler? Karl Malone? Really? IIRC, Sir Charles didn't have too good of a Jumpshot. Remind me in the case that I'm wrong.

Nique? Nah...

Reggie Miller was pretty much Klay Thompson without the defense. And he wasn't as good of a shooter...
