Magic Jordan vs LeBron Jamesbrook


Who you got??

[warriorfan]

lebeta + omegabrook = brain roughly the size of a peanut

Jordan obviously loses quickness with Magic's body (which is not to say Magic isnt quick, just that MJ's quickness was crazy).

Bran's body with Westbrook's intensity is scary to think about. Even tho MJ is more skilled than Bran obviously, I think "Branbrook" would be physically unstoppable. Bran has already done some crazy impressive things. With even more mental ferocity shit would be ova. I'd be worried that Jordan would actually lose some of his advantages with Magic's body.

Jordan at 6'9.vs LeBron with Westbrook's mentality

Does Jordan keep his speed, agility, and body control at that height? :oldlol:

LeBron's strength is his IQ. With WB's mentality, he'd probably chuck his team out of a ton of games.

Did you create this thread in the hope that people couldn't make a choice between the two??


You succeeded.


I feel imprisoned by the question :oldlol:

[Smoke117]

How exactly would Jordan with Magic's size/body make him better? Jordan is much more athletic than Magic. A couple inches taller and significantly slower isn't going to make him any better.

[ShawkFactory]

Very little difference.

This. LeBron gets much more from Westbroon's intensity than Jordan does from a size increase.

Jordan with Magic's size... well he might get some shots of easier and the extra length might give some more court vision?

Lebron with Westbrook's "intensity".... does nothing, well he might shotjack/chuck a bit more?

You know Lebron has the tendency to become passive or shut it down if things aren't going exactly as planned. Westbrook's intensity takes care of Lebron's biggest flaw as a player.

Since the question is assuming they keep the traits they already have, we assume Lebron keeps his playing IQ in general.

A taller Jordan with his same athleticism and ability is easily the best choice - it's kind of a dumb question.

[3ball]

btw, does the extra intensity mean more alpha too, or still beta for lebron?

The problem with Westbrook is that he doesn't have elite efficiency.

The problem with Lebron is that he doesn't take enough shots.

MJ solves both problems and combines the best of both players - he took a maximum number of shots (Westbrook) at an elite efficiency (Lebron).

Both Lebron and MJ have exactly 4 seasons with over 60% TS, but Lebron was taking 18 shots per game, while Jordan was taking 24 per game.

Btw, you can give Lebron all the intensity in the world, but his offensive repertoire will remain unchanged - it would still be a fraction of Jordan's, so he still gets locked up by 2007 Spurs and 2011 Mavs... However, the greater intensity probably allows him to beat Celtics in 2010 and make the Finals like his #1 seeded team was supposed to, instead of underachieving.. so i'll give you that one.

[AintNoSunshine]

Jordan already has Westbrooks intensity and Lebron isnt 6'9 so...

Jordan in a fat slow body vs Lebron without his beta tendencies


Lebron all day

Lebron would be breaking bones with Westbrook's intensity. Imagine Lebron driving like a savage all game

I would rather try to stop Jordan driving than a raging intense Bran. Jordan was a skinny wimp compared to Bran

[G0ATbe]

Jordan easily. LeBald with Westbrooks aggressiveness would foul out before halftime literally every game through offensive fouls alone.
