Kobe Bryant is a poor man's Michael Jordan

Karl Malone is a poor man's Blake Griffin

Rajon Rondo is a poor man's CP3

fixed some for you

[pauk]

Magic Johnson is a poor man's Lebron James

Fixed... sorry but the only thing Magic could do better was pass.... Lebron is a better overall offensive player and a ridicilously extremly much better defensive player...

Lebron being a poor mans Oscar Robertson makes a bit more sense at least statistically, although im sure Lebron would have managed the same or more likely better overall numbers in Oscars ERA...

[nathanjizzle]

Jeremy Lin poor mans Yao Ming

[jb220]

Sorry.. but the only thing Magic could do better was pass.... Lebron is a better overall offensive player and a ridicilously extremly much better defensive player...
He was also a natural leader that didn't disappear in big moments, if you're saying LeBron > Magic you need to end your pathetic life.

umm I wouldnt downgrade Magic Johnson to poor man's Lebron, hes the third greatest of alltime right below MJ and Wilt.

But yeah, perhaps Lebron being poor man's Oscar Robertson is indeed a better pick. Considering Kobe is poor man's Jerry West, Lebron vs Kobe is quite similar to West vs Robertson of the 60s.

With Magics career 16-19 ppg his entire life you could never see when he "disappeared"... LMFAO....... he was only a passer.... and padding your assists can never "disappear"..... what Lebron did last year in the Finals 18-7-7 on 48% FG is the numbers Magic won Championships with in the Finals.... difference is that Lebron had no Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, Green, Scott and so on to produce scoring for him.....

[Riley Martin]

yeah, no... not even close...

i get that you just love Lebron, but having him above Magic on the GOAT list is asinine

[JohnnyWall]

Magic never disappeared and choked in crucial games like LeBron.

Right, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh don't score. I guess LeBron needs a Kobe-level scorer to help him win a championship. :oldlol:

[pauk]

yeah, no... not even close...

i get that you just love Lebron, but having him above Magic on the GOAT list is asinine

I am not talking about career accomplishments... :facepalm
but individual player talents themselves.... Magic was NOT a better overall individual player than Lebron...

The only players i considered better individual players than Lebron in NBA history are Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain.....

Actually those points dropped in the 4th quarter would be being ON FIRE for a 16-19 ppg player like Magic was....

Besides, im sure a man given the nickname "Tragic-Johnson" had much worse playoff performances....

Speaking of Kobe & Finals... he has actually been worse than Lebron in his Finals appearances at similar age... like his 15 ppg in 2000 Finals and then 22 ppg in the other and so on on much lower FG%.... so no, i dont think he would need a "Kobe-Level scorer"..... if he would had Kobe they wouldnt even be in the Finals as Kobe would shotjacked/ballhoged/bricked that team out of the 1st round or something...

You seriously have to shut the **** up man.



Magic is a better playmaker, a better rebounder, a better post player, a better ball-handler.



Magic Johnson is the 2nd best player of all-time.



Shut the **** up. This shit is offensive.

You seriously should be banned. No wonder people hate your favorite player. You can't even get the stat right. It's like you never heard of 46 points in Game 6.





You sit around and talk so much shit on Durant cuz the game is about more than scoring. And you downplay freakin Magic Johnson...who's career playoff average is 19.5, not 16-19 whatever that means. That includes 4 seasons at over 20PPG, a career average of 12.3APG (stat-padded right?), 6 times leading the playoffs in APG, averaging over 15APG twice, while scoring over 20PPG one of those times, being the best player on 4 title runs, being a legit FMVP the one time he wasn't the best player, should have been FMVP at least 4 times, in the best era ever. Being Tragic Johnson because he had a "bad" finals, one of the 9 times he got there...




You are now blocked.

funny how its always these lebron fanboys :lol

It takes a special kind of crazy LeBron stan to claim that Magic Johnson stat padded his assists or was a sub-par scorer. :oldlol:

Magic made other players better. That's the difference. Without him, you wouldn't know who Worthy, Cooper, Green and Scott were.


Do you think James Worthy gets an NBA Finals MVP, is ranked among the NBA's 50 greatest players, and elected to the HOF, if Magic isn't playing point?


You are probably young so I will give you pass. But if there is any player in the history of the sport who could not be properly valued just by "googling some stats", it is Magic Johnson.

Nobody with any credibility at this point in Lebron's career would rank him ahead of Magic Johnson. That is not an arguable point.

Magic was a much better teammate, winner, clutch player, leader, champion, open court player, center, etc.

I don't think Pauk should be allowed to post here anymore after saying Magic is a poor man's Lebron. :facepalm

[D-Wade316]

Lebron and Magic aren't even comparable. Lebron is a scorer while Magic is a passer. Both clearly played different roles. Don't know why people are comparing both.
