I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of Jordan shit tonight and this combo of stats blew my mind.
He’s never been a point guard for an extended time. I know he played point guard at the end of a season and racked up 10 triple doubles out of 11 games. Out of his decently lengthy career he’s barely done it but… he still put up 11+ assists a game in a finals and only 2 other players in history have done this. Both point guards their whole careers(Cousey and Magic).
Then 2 finals later he sets the finals ppg record at 41 points.
Both of these have not been broken since those years 30-32 years ago.
Bonus: he set the playoff scoring total record in the playoffs in the year between those. That hasn’t been broken either
He won all 3 years to support the awesomeness even further
Dafuq was this dude on???
You don’t think Lebron has an argument against Jordan? I think it’s debatable right now at the very least.
I put Jordan ahead (flair, duh), but I think there is a debate. Lebron’s longevity at such a high level is beyond belief, but Jordan’s insane competitiveness puts him above for me.
LeBron is just as competitive, just a stupid argument. The reason Jordan is the GOAT is his privileged upbringing compared to LeBron. LeBron had no one to teach him how to shoot and other basics at a young age. If LeBron’s name was LeBron Curry born to Dell Curry he would have been the GOAT. Jordan is just way better technically than LeBron
MJs dad was a mechanic and his family had a basic middle class background. What are you talking about? lol Also there was significantly more programs to develop young basketball talent by the time LeBron was coming up.
He can be argued but at the end of the argument it’s still solidly jordan.
Lebron is the solid #2 though.
