LeBron cares way more about individual stats. I just saw it again. End of first quarter tonight. LeBron dribbled out the clock and then heaved a full court shot after time expired. He knew what he was doing. He didn’t want the missed FG in his stat line. The GOAT wouldn’t care about that.
Have you seen his dunks and jumps? LeBron is only good because his team was really good. Jordan was a one athlete wonder
The old Chicago score keeper wouldn’t be bothered. lol
Just think how many turnovers Jordan would have against that OKC defense. 30 at OKC. One, maybe 2 in Chicago just to keep it honest. 😉
Jordan's turnovers today would be causing other teams to turnover their roster after losing to him. LeBron would have switched teams 6 times!
You haven't answered my question. Do you really believe SGA is stronger and more athletic than Jordan?
SGA is more athletic and skilled than Jordan. That’s not even debatable. He’d drop 50 on him.
Jordan was great…..in the 90s. 35 years later, players are more athletic, skilled, stronger and faster than Jordan and the other plodders from the 90s. The game has changed since the half court iso and post up days. Just as players from the 50s and 60s would struggle in the 90s, Jordan would struggle in today’s game.

You're delusional if you think a guy with a 36 inch vert is more athletic than Jordan.
But they have cool nicknames, so they have to be athletic. That’s all you need, right? lol
Jokic and Doncic’s skill level is off the charts. Who’s going to guard them? Laimbeer? Duckworth? Maybe Ed Nealy.
Looking forward to tonight's game and wondering if Chet Holmgren can do a pushup.
You mean the 7’1” guy who shoots significantly better than Jordan did from 3. Players today are so much more skilled than the guys in the 90s. You’ve got 7 footers with guard skills better than the guards in the 90s.
Nah, I've just realized there's no sense in arguing with someone who is delusional.
You haven't argued a single thing in this entire thread. You just keep saying Jordan is more atheltic without providing any evidence to support your invalid claim.
Here's the truth.
MJ was 6'4 (olympic measurement), he has no official vert measurements, no official 40 yrd times, and there really is zero evidence that he was much of an athlete at all. You can compare Anthony Edwards and MJ dunks side by side. Edwards is so much more explosive, he's so much faster, he's heavier and stronger.
Basketball has evolved, the world has evolved. People that are unwilling to accept reality become bitter and pathetic. They can't adapt to the ever changing climate and drag everyone down with them. I hate people like that, I hate selfish losers that hate on players, hate on new ideas, and hate on kids just because they're different, because they're trying to improve the world. I hate people that don't even try to learn. It's just sad, I really hope one day you'll crawl out of your mental cave and experience the joys of getting better and learning from others.
Tonight was an embarrassment for the NBA. I've been hearing all week how the Thunder and Spurs are playing the highest level of basketball in the world. Only if the viewer is high!
Just atrocious play on both sides. Your boi Shai only shot 6 for 17. That's your MVP?! What a joke. Only skills he has better than Michael Jordan the GOAT are flopping and getting bailed out by the refs!
I WISH Shai could have played in the 80s and 90s. The men in those days would give him a real reason to fall on the floor.
Then there's Wemby and Chet. What the heck was that? Wemby only had 4 rebounds. Chet only had 3. Just 7 combined rebounds for two dudes who are over 7 feet tall?! Pathetic. They should change their names to Wimpy and Chit.
Don't talk to me about no "guard skills" with 7 footers. Only skills I wanna see from them are banging in the paint, setting bone rattling picks, protecting the rim, and getting rebounds like real big men. Not jacking up 3s like little lady boys who are too scared to bang down low.

WRONG. I literally had a list of like 30 ways Jordan is better than LeBron.
I don't need to "prove" that Air Jordan was stronger and more athletic than Shai Gilgregious Alexflopper. Anyone with a functioning eye can see that. It's obvious.
I notice you have nothing to say to the guy talking trash about Jordan and all the guys who played in his era. So you think it's okay for people to disrespect the elders then. Is that it? Shame on you.
Maybe when you learn to show some respect to the people who paved the path for those who followed them, you won't be such an angry hateful person.

SMH
The game has passed you (and Jordan) by. Jordan could not have been able to keep up with the pace of today’s game. No grabbing, holding, no half court iso, no just throwing it into the post and standing around.
Players are so much more skilled today than 35 years ago. 7 footers shoot better than Jordan.

Glad to see you give up on the ridiculous premise that Jordan would be even close to the level of today’s players and have moved on to “respect your elders”. lol

Could you imagine Jordan trying to guard Anthony Edwards? Dunk, Dunk, Dunk, 3, Dunk, 3, Dunk, Dunk. Then Jordan quits like he always does.
