so KD and Lebron did less in 40 years than MJ did in 15 years
while averaging 5 less PPG in the playoffs (playing at a lower level entirely).
KD was locked up by Wes Matthews, Tatum and Prince in the playoffs - Tatum exposed that a tiny bit of physicality turns KD into a bad player, so he would never make it in the 90's.

^^^ if Mo's spacing was replaced by Pippen's bricks.
Pippen told Rachel Nichols that he can't provide the spacing that certain players need and compared himself to a bad Westbrick fit:

So Pippen could never provide the spacing to open up Lebron's stiff-arm game and win 66 games.....
Shame on Lebron for playing so badly in these finals. I didn't even know how bad he played until someone told me about his stats. 22 points on 35 percent shooting, 20 pct from 3 and 6 turnovers.
Tony Parker averaged 24.5 points, shot 56 pct and 57 pct from 3s. So he scored more than Lebron and shot a whopping 21 percent higher!
I have always...
Seems like he never hesitated to take Mutombo off the dribble and power to the basket.
I understand MJ was aggressive in general but it seems like he especially relished the opportunity to get right up on Big Deke. His tongue would stick out and you could see his determination to get up and down quickly.
Despite Mutombo's propensity for...
Thereby furthering their chances to re-sign Bron NEXT year?
It's kinda crazy if you think about it.
Lebron James will be an unrestricted free agent next year. He might just choose to sign wherever Bryce ends up so that he can get a year playing with his other son, then call it a career.
And realistically, Bryce's talent and bloodlines...
While with the Knicks, Nate Robinson said coach Larry Brown called him "the little s---" every day. After Robinson went to Brown's office in tears and asked him to stop, Brown again called him the name in front of the team and told his teammates that he had cried.
Brown told Bleacher Report that he didn't have any recollection of what Robinson...
best defensive series in NBA history. The 2004 Indiana Pacers vs 2004 Detroit Pistons. Both teams were having a block party. Pistons averaged 75.2 ppg while Pacers averaged 72.7 ppg. The defensive rating for both teams are 95.4 and 97.2 respectively. I think it was also the same series that Tayshaun Prince had his historic chase down block on...
if RJJ beat him probably the biggest win of his career after the Hopkins and Toney fight. Dariusz Michalcewzki only fought in Germany while Jones don't want to travel to Germany after he was robbed in the Seoul Olympics. Jones later fought in Europe when he was past his prime and a shell of his former self. 25 title defenses si DM sa Light...
What's the case for Lebron aside from playing at a lower level for longer (longevity)?
Compared to Jordan, Lebron's glaring weaknesses are offensive rebounding, turnovers, FT's, mid-range, clutch efficiency (the worst ever), and off-ball/ball movement/low assist teams (he lowers teammates' assists by turning them into spot-up shooter)
So he...
Kevin was considered one of the best interviews while a player in the NBA. His HOF introduction speech is one of the best and a great display of his natural charisma and humor. He definitely has the gift of the gab.
