The Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate will forever be an ongoing conversation, but today we will put that to an end. Currently the Lebron-less Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a miserable 2-14 start, with nothing but a top lottery pick in its future. Well if you didn’t know LeBron James here is a little recap. James is an athletic 6’8 250lb Small forward that can get to the rim with ease, and has an astounding basketball mind. For his Career he averages 27pts 7rbs and 7asts. James is averaging more points than the NBA Leading scorer in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and more assists than Gary Payton. Bron is the real deal.
But so is Jordan, Michael Jordan had an tad of an unusual career as he retired
early to play baseball. During the 1993-1994 season in which Jordan left the
Bulls had a surprising 55-27 record as Scottie Pippen lead them to the
playoffs. Now if you don’t know Michael Jordan you have a serious problem and
should stop it and get some help. Jordan was a 6’6 195lb shooting guard that
averaged 30pts 6rbs 5asts for his career. Not to mention his six rings, 10x
leader in scoring and one defensive player of the year.
These two transcendent players should
not be compared to one another. Why you may ask? Not because they played in two
different eras of basketball but because LeBron James himself can affect the
game in so many ways that he is the system and this isn’t always a positive. In
fact Brons' control over the Cavaliers lead to the trading of Kyrie Irving. The
2017-18 Cavs made an excessive amount of moves in order to build a sufficient
team to build around James ultimately failing and leading to his
departure. In the case with Michael Jordan he was a dynamic 2-way player
without the dominance of the ball in his hands. The Chicago Bulls built their
to team to compliment one another with a legendary COACH in Phil Jackson...But
the choice is yours. There have been extensive amount of NBA
talent that have left their mark on this league throughout the years,
from Larry Bird to Shaquille O' Neal. Who is Your G.O.A.T. ?
