Speaking of Rudy Gobert-like shooting….Jordan has seasons of 13%, 17%, 17%, 18%, 19% and 19% from 3. And remember, these are wide open, available 3s. Lol
That's funny because you don't realize how irrelevant those percentages are in the context of Jordan's career. In those five seasons (not six), Jordan had less 3 point attempts than games played. That means you're trying to ridicule him about something he tried less than once a game! lol
Would you take a lot of shots you couldn’t make? Lol. LeBron is a much better shooter. 13%, 17%, 17%, 18%, 19% and 19%. Yikes! lol
It's crap like this that proves you are insanely biased and don't know basketball.
MJ is better than Lebron by the vast majority of metrics and I consider him the GOAT. Lebron is the 2nd best basketball player ever IMO. I think most rational people feel that way.
As many NBA legends confirm, MJ would average 40-45 PPG in today’s defense-less, non-physical game.
Jordan would be out of the league today. In today’s game, who’s going to keep a 2 guard that only shoots 13% from 3?

The excuses just keep coming from you.
Just trying to teach you lessons in how to analyze basketball because you keep making the novice mistake of pulling irrelevant stats.
Another lesson: always double check your numbers. You listed 19% twice when it should only be once.

lol. Ok. Sorry. Jordan only had 5 seasons where he shot less than 20% from 3. lol.
Just admit the obvious -Jordan was a a far worse shooter than Lebron is. Lebron has never had a season where he shot lower than Jordan’s career 3pt percentage.

But, but Rudy Gobert. lol.
Four of them were Jordan's first four seasons of Jordan's pro career when the leaguewide average for 3 point attempts was only between 3 to 5 attempts per game per team.
The fifth one was his first year with the Wizards when he was a shell of his former self.

Spin it any way you want. Jordan had seasons where he shot 13%, 17%, 17%, 18%, 19%, and 19% for 3. And you’re trying to make the case that he’s a better shooter than LeBron who never shot lower than Jordan’s average. lol.
Lebron has a higher fg%, higher effective fg%, higher ts%, higher 2pt fg%, and higher 3pt fg%. And Jordan and Lebron have shot from the same average distance - negating the “but,but, but Rudy Gobert” nonsense.
I think he will go to the Knicks next year because he can make substantially more money over there. LA stay is option 2 as that was where he initially wanted to end career. Cavs return option 3. Retirement option 4.
Another interesting stat / fact: MJ’s WORST season FT% (.784) is better than LBJ’s BEST season FT% (.782). LOL

Jordan has seasons of 13%, 17%, 17%, 18%, 19% and 19% from 3. And remember, these are wide open, available 3s. Lol
And Jordan got his shot blocked more than he had And 1s. He was weak. lol.
Repeating things that are 1) irrelevant or 2) made up. While getting ZERO support. LOL- that’s how you know you’ve been owned. Just walk away, bruh.
Where did lEbRoN’s a mUcH bEttEr sHoOtEr go? You should start repeating that one again. LOL! I mean, 37% lifetime when 10+ feet away from the basket is super impressive. As is 73% from the line. LEGENDARY shooting ability right there. LOL
Add in the highlights of dunking over little Joe Schmoe (who’s standing there with his hands at his side, of course). Whew! Dude is a baaaad man! I mean, look at the mean muggin’ he does after that dunk- he’s an animal! LOL
Then the theatrics! That stage presence. I mean, is there anything more impressive than an enormous man that can strike that delicate balance between wild, violent beast… and yet also a fragile little flower being blown around in the wind?
How fitting is it that Space Jam 2 was a massive FLOP?? I mean, how ironic is it that LBJ wins Worst Actor (Razzie) in a movie and yet Best Actor in the NBA?? Wild stuff.
Whey do some people so vehemently hate Lebron and love Jordan so much or vice versa? It's a bit ludicrous and tiresome. There are things to love and hate about each.
Yeah, I saw this title, as I grew up with Jordan, Bird, Magic, and I have Lebron as the GOAT. Jordan was great, but if you were in it while he was at the top you knew wasn't even better than Larry Bird.

It’s called “flailing” (…much like LBJ when someone attempts to play defense against him).
Beemer is now flat out lying about stats. LBJ - who has a lifetime 3pt% of just ~2% better than MJ - has several seasons shooting 32% & under from deep. Of course, he shoots 3X the number of 3s as MJ, despite being the size of a power forward.
Its really a sad state of affairs for the NBA: Going from MJ - a 6’6” 215 SG - dunking directly over big men, being unstoppable in the post, and being a defensive master… to… LBJ - a 6’9” 265 true PF - dunking ‘around’ little guys, staying out on the perimeter because he doesn’t like the contact, being clumsy/predictable in the post, and being lazy on defense.
It’s going to be real interesting to see who the NBA tries to force down our throats after LBJ retires.
I think the real question here is, why is LBJ and his clear deficiencies even being mentioned in a GOAT debate, when Jokic is statistically better in EVERY category across the board? If he wins a couple more championships, wouldn’t he be the more logical GOAT consideration?

Oh NOW you want to count all Jordan’s years including those where the 3pt line was moved up. lol.
Jordan was terrible at shooting from distance. He had years of 13%, 17%, 18%, 18%, 19% and 19% shooting from 3. Jordan only had two seasons where barely shot better from 3 than Lebron’s average.
Jordan was blocked more than he had And 1s. He was weak.

Let me help you out: Jordan could only win an NBA title with one team, one coach, and one system. The minute he left Phil Jackson and the Bulls he never won again.
LeBron has been able to win titles with multiple teams- the Cavs, the Heat, the Lakers. Anywhere he goes he wins.
my final vote as i played during the MJ/Bird days is Bird and LeBron over Jordan because MJ is a quitter. No one wants to talk about his gambling addiction that allegedly got his father killed.
As a teammate, I’d take LeBron every day of the week. MJ is a competitor but he’s also a quitter.

Jordan averaged 48 dunks and 45 And 1s a season. Lebron? He averages 119 dunks and 79 And 1s.

Why are you making up stats? Not a good look. You really think MJ averaged less that one dunk per game? (I’m sure you’re aware that the NBA didn’t “count dunks” in the 80s and most of the 90s.) How old are you? 14? LOL
“Weak” is flailing and flopping like a biitch, which is what LBJ is known for.
As I’ve been saying, the game is all 3-pointers and uncontested dunks nowadays, so yeah… LBJ has “more dunks” (as do many other players). But he has far fewer fantastic dunks directly over big men than MJ.
