Jordan athleticism vs Lebron athleticism

[JohnMax]

Jordan athleticism - Kobe, T-Mac, Melo, Wiggins, Rose - iso scorers, start offense in different spots on the floor, late offense ( shot clock is between 0-15 seconds when they score)

Lebron athleticism - Westbrook, Wall, Lavine - pick and roll, start offense behind 3pt line, better at fastbreak, early offense ( shot clock is between 15-24 seconds when they score)

Op's athleticism

LOL you listed 3 guys who Lebron outweighs by like 50-60+ pounds.

There isn't really a guy who has Lebron athleticism. And haters...it's ok. It doesn't always translate perfectly to basketball the way Jordan's did. Relax.

But yea...

[dhsilv]

MJ is pound for pound among the best in strength....those other guys are not. MJ and Lebron should not be compared to the crap you listed. Both are insulted.

Pretty much. The original OP is just trying to simplify something that can't be simplified this way.

Give me Jordan easily once we include stamina. Jordan easily

How would Bo Jackson compare to mj?

MJ is an equal to Lebron off 1 leg:

How would Bo Jackson compare to mj?

Bo Jackson wins by a lot.

[ShawkFactory]

Bo Jackson is a different kind of athlete.

There's a difference between 6-8 and 6-2, obviously. Different discussion.

But Bo, randy moss, Jordan, and Bron. Are the best athletes ever IMO.

Calvin Johnson nipping on the heels.

[Cocaine80s]

MJ doesnt even come close to lebron off one leg


3ball quit fooling yourself

In what ways us Bo better?

Lebron's isn't bringing the ball all the way back from the FT line, nor is he doing a rock-the-cradle from past the dotted.

MJ is at least equal off one leg.

[TripleA]

Michael Jordan is not a better one foot jumper than lebron.
I am the expert on athleticism here. Not these two fools who never moved past their couch.

lebron doesn't c ock it back at all or double-pump like MJ did... or make it look easy and graceful

and lebron didn't take off from as far - MJ took off with his tippy toe ON the ft line, not his heel like Lebron...

again, mj is the better two-foot leaper by far, and at least equal off 1 foot - he proved that with his ft line dunks - lebron isn't doing BETTER than that...

he's only matching it, if that... of course, he's too much of a bitch to show us in an actual dunk contest, so we're left to speculate.. :( .. what a *****

Nope, Lebron is vastly superior off one. Not to mention he outweighs jordan by atleast 30 lbs :lebronamazed:


Show me a gif of MJ taking off on one leg from the FT line in a game

show me a dunk where Lebron takes off from the ft line...

the one you posted shows him taking off with his entire foot was inside the ft line, so that's not taking off from the ft line.

then show me where he c ocks it all the way back or double pumps it... btw, mj is 2 inches shorter and still matching or superceding lebron off one leg... and crushing him off two

Nikka, the only reason jordan took off from the free throw line is because he didnt take any dribbles before it.

Lebron did that shit off a fastbreak. Plus you see how high the ball is above the rim? He couldve took off before the free throw line and made it

Lebron,Shannon Brown and James white all better one foot jumpers than Jordan. This is coming from the leader of athletic studies on Ish.

MJ dribbled up to the FT line just like Lebron did..

That's actually the reason why MJ's ft line dunks are better than everyone else's:

dr. j, brent barry, drexler, and pippen all RAN/TRAVELLED with the ball up to the takeoff - MJ was the only one to dribble with ease like he was in a game, except MJ was more jogging like he was on the playground.. :pimp:

btw, mj c ocked it back or double-pumped his dunks... imagine if he didn't do that - he could've dunked from a foot behind ft line..

Is everyone stupid?

In terms of pure lift, it's a fact that Jordan jumps higher

the earlier gif only shows the end of the runup - here's more of the runup:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-03-2015/64Ba72.gif


dribbles it all the way while jogging, boss style.. Like he's showing a few friends on the playground - "hey guys, I can double-pump from the FT line super-easy... Wanna see?"

[TripleA]

Lebron in his peak had a least a 44 inch vertical off one
Jordan had 48 off two feet

[HighFlyer23]

No he didn't

You've got to have serious deficiencies in the head to believe that

Jordan doesn't get up as high as Lebron

[Dragonyeuw]

Lebron usually needs a full court sprint to build momentum up for any distance jump off one leg. MJ could explode in the halfcourt from a triple threat, take two dribbles, plant and then explode off one foot and cover a lot of ground. Alot of his reverse layups start with him well away from one side of the rim and winding up clearly past the other side when he lands.

[Straight_Ballin]

All these arguments from these teens against the adults on this site regarding Jordan are just comical at best. These guys are old enough to fvck your mothers.
