LeBron at 39/40: Benchwarmer on a stacked team as a ringchaser.

3ppg on 85.3 FG%.

By the time he's 38 yrs.old. He will be the all time leading scorer in basketball history.

Lebron Jr and Bryce Maximus >>>> Jeff and Marcus Jordan.

[ProfessorMurder]

A 40 year old Karl would be a top 3 PF right now.

[Lebron23]

A 40 year old Karl would be a top 3 PF right now.


He also became a much better passer as he became older. Nearly 5 apg at age 40.

A 40 year old Jordan would be top 3 SG though.

Karl and Stock both were amazing players up to being 40 yrs old, both players also missed 1-2 games on average PER season over their entire career(In Utah) with Stock missing games only in 2 of his 18 seasons and malone only missed 1-2 games in a season while playing for Utah. Amazing durability for both.

Not this sh*t again. God damn you are retarded.

[TheMarkMadsen]

What is the point of this thread?

is the OP really trying to discredit Jordan for not making the playofffs as a 40 year old? :roll:

[Lebron23]

SH*t the F*ck up Jordan Slurper.. The guy just ruined my thread. He already predicted that LBJ is going to suck in his lat 30's and early 40'. No $hit. By the time LBj is 40. He's gonna be a 22 yrs. NBA veteran.

Yup. Lebron stans are fking ridiculous. So insecure about MJ.:coleman:

[buddha]

LeBron James wont be in the NBA when he is 39. If a 3 peat now is too exhausting for him I can't imagine what it would be like 10 years from now.

A 40 year old Jordan would be top 3 SG though.

Those numbers are good, though.

I just posted Malone and Jordan's stats. That Wizards teams sucked. They only reason they televised the game here was because of MJ. They failed to advance into the playoffs in a much watered down, and much weaker eastern conference.

I love to see Lebron play against Lebron James Jr.

no you didn't




Jordan couldn't carried RIP Hamilton in 2002 and Jerry Stackhouse in 2003 in the playoffs.




They failed to made it into the playoffs in a much watered down, and weaker eastern conference.

Both of those Wizards team's finished 37-45. That's a 45% winning percentage.

Which would put them anywhere between the 6th-8th seed in the EAST right now..


FAIL

[JebronLames]

Lebron will still be a top 5 player at 39.

[Lebron23]

The level of competition in 2002 and 2003. No disrespect to Kidd, but those Nets team wouldn't win a single game against the Pacers and Heat in a best of 7 series. I even pick a healthy Rose with the Current Bulls to beat them in a playoffs series.

It's a $Hitty comparison the east is weak this year because of key injuries to their franchise players.

They were at 26-20 in 2002 and in the 6th spot in the EC before Jordan hurt his knee and had to sit out for like a month. They were on pace for 42-44 wins, which would have been an ABSURD turnaround considering they had won just 19 games the year prior, plus lost like 3 of their 4 top scorers from that season. They definitely make the playoffs in '02 with a 39 year old MJ if he didn't get hurt.

[jzek]

Didn't Jordan score the most points ever by an oldest player?

[Odinn]

This fvcking prick just won't let it go.

[Micku]

Those numbers are good, though.

He took a lot of shots to get dem numbers tho. He was a bit inconsistent due to old age and his injury. I would think he would need the Duncan and Wade treatment and take every other game out today especially on good teams. But his midrange game and off the ball movement was still money both years. 41% from midrange his first year back. And 43% from midrange in his last year.

I guess the top 3 SGs atm are Harden, Wade, and Klay Thompson?? Is wizards Jordan better than Klay Thompson? The early 00s were stacked with SGs tho Jordan played SF when he came back in the 00s.

[Miller for 3]

:facepalm

These agenda threads are the worst. This lady reps herself all day with her alts and no one does anything to stop it

[Dragonyeuw]

In the 2002 season Mj was averaging 25/6/5 on 44% right up till his(knee?) injury affected his production and ultimately led to him missing 22 games.

[dr.hee]

What the hell is the point of this thread?

[jzek]

What the hell is the point of this thread?

Malone is better than Jordan

[Lebron23]

Malone is better than Jordan


at age 38-40.

But Jordan > Malone in NBA all time ranking. The mailman is still a top 15 player of all time.

[diamenz]

By the time he's 38 yrs.old. He will be the all time leading scorer in basketball history.

Lebron Jr and Bryce Maximus >>>> Jeff and Marcus Jordan.

but his game is fugly.

[Sarcastic]

Didn't Jordan score the most points ever by an oldest player?


He's the only player over 40 years old to score 40 in an NBA game.

He also scored 50+ at age 39.


Lebron is never touching those. He barely touches them now in his prime. :lol

[Stringer Bell]

Malone and Stockton's longevity and consistency were amazing.

MJ playing at that level at 38-40, well I expected it, because it was Michael ****ing Jordan.

[Angel Face]

LeBron James by age 39/40

http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/greg-oden-miami.jpg

making sure the seats are warm for the starters. :applause:

[Artillery]

When talking about MJ, people refer to his GOAT years on the Bulls. Those Wizards years were quite embarrassing though and shouldn't be brought up. I'm not even sure he was better than Rip when he played on the Wizards.

[Artillery]

at age 38-40.

But Jordan > Malone in NBA all time ranking. The mailman is still a top 15 player of all time.

Malone's a regular season warrior though. Hard to ignore those multiple failures in the post-season.

Amazing longevity(2nd only to Kareem) but he was a choke artist. Dirty as hell too but most people seem to overlook the multiple injuries he's inflicted on opposing players. Ended a few careers IIRC.

[riseagainst]

did OP make this thread just to ultimately compare Lebron to MJ by "age"?
:roll:

[VIntageNOvel]

stop it op, you're reaching
the only weakness of MJ is his dick size :lol ,
but unfortunately lebron isnt really gifted either in that area :roll:

[annbafan]

how good was Malone! People comparing players primarily count a number of rings won and not how they PLAYED. But this is the way it should be and from this standpoint Malone unquestionably belongs in the top 10 list of best players.

[Milbuck]

And its all downhill from here on out.

This. Those "at age 28" stats are so ****ing stupid. Anyone who seriously thinks Lebron is gonna get 5 more rings and 5 more FMVPs with the Bucks on the rise is delusional.

[Lebron23]

It's kinda true. Karl actually had a good performance in the 1998 NBA Finals. He was the most consistent Jazz player in that series.

People try saying Dirk is better. :oldlol:
