Jordan would have won 77 in todays eastern conference. No Reggie, Ewing, or Bad Boys to go thru?? LBJ has had a cake walk to the Finals almost every single year since the big 3 broke up in Boston.

Lol at you guys debating Lebron v MJ with scoring and wins being the qualifying data to compare the two. Nobody in the world will ever debate Lebron being a better scorer than Jordan, but Lebron on offense isn't a scorer.
 
Jordan during his title runs from 1991-1998 averaged 23.34 shots per game, with an assist percentage of 19.35%. Lebron since The Decision has averaged 18.46 shots per game, with an assist percentage of 37.11%. Lebron knows his gravity, and is actively looking for the open guy when he's being closed out on, because its smart basketball -- he's a facilitator at heart. Jordan still tries to take the game into his own hands with the closeout, and still probably knocks down the shot.
 
I mean if you want to look at crazy skewed stats based on play style, during those time frames MJ had 20 games with 10+ assists, in 503 games qualified. Lebron in 588 games qualified had 123 games with 10+ assists (and technically not done yet).
 
Lebron's a passer, Jordan's a scorer.

One guy relies on others to hit shots and apparently makes “the smart basketball” play even tho smart basketball i guess = 3/8

The other guy takes it into his own hands and delivers the game himself because thats what closers do

Which one has won more?

Its actually embarrassing at this point how much of a cakewalk it’ll be this year if Kyrie is out

Literally zero competition

Lol if you think i need mjs scoring to prove anything

The obvious reasons mj >

- never had a meltdown like bron in 2011
- has a DPOY
- is an actual closer in the 4th
- more rings
- didnt have laughable competition year in year out and a cakewalk to the finals

And thats before getting to 6 for 6 with 6 fmvps and 5 mvps and 10 scoring championships

Lebron fans have no answer for these and whats the best is that they can never bring up one flaw in MJs career. They even go ahead and reach by bringing up losing to the magic after playing 17 games that year haha

3-5 record in the Finals is the death nail for LeBron's GOAT argument imo.

Isn't it "death knell"?
 
...or have I always said it wrong?
