What's better - 10 more ppg or 2 more defensive rebs

[3ball]

Everyone likes to brag that Lebron led his team in points, rebs, assists and steals on several playoff runs... But here's why that argument is kindergarten-level logic.

First of all, it's true that Lebron led his team in points-rebs-assist-steal, while MJ only led his team in points-assist-steal, not rebounds.. But MJ got more offensive rebounds than Lebron and scored 10 more ppg - so what's better - 10 more ppg, or 2 more defensive rebounds? .. What would you rather have?


JORDAN 1992 PLAYOFFS: 34.5 ppg.. 1.7 oreb.. 4.5 dreb.. 5.8 apg.. 2.0 spg
JORDAN 1993 PLAYOFFS: 35.1 ppg.. 1.7 oreb.. 5.1 dreb.. 6.0 apg.. 2.1 spg

LEBRON 2013 PLAYOFFS: 25.9 ppg.. 1.6 oreb.. 6.8 dreb.. 6.6 apg.. 1.8 spg
LEBRON 2014 PLAYOFFS: 27.4 ppg.. 0.7 oreb.. 6.4 dreb.. 4.8 apg.. 1.8 spg

Everyone likes to brag that Lebron led his team in points, rebs, assists and steals on several playoff runs.

However, this isn't a valid argument against Jordan because he did the same, minus the rebounds - and even though he didn't lead in rebounds, he has always gotten more offensive rebounds than Lebron, and also scored 8-10 more ppg than Lebron on those playoff runs.

So what's more important - 8-10 more ppg, or 1-2 more defensive rebounds?.. What would you rather have?

MJ was better in '92 and '93 than Lebron was in '13 and '14.

MJ was better in '92 and '93 than Lebron was in '13 and '14.
As the OP shows, I found a couple seasons where Lebron led his team in pts, rebs, assists, and steals - then I compared those seasons to when MJ led his team in all those categories, except rebounds.

As it turns out, MJ averaged 8-10 ppg more when he did it, which more than offsets the 2 defensive rebound advantage Lebron has.

Again - what would you prefer - 2 defensive rebounds or 10 more ppg?

just for the playoffs, for the metioned years:

defense goes to lebron (especially '13 dpoy), entire miami system was build on lebron's defense. Bonus : lebron also fouled less
lebron 2.5fpg, 3.4 fpg
jordan 3.6fpg 4.0 fpg

lebron has better ortg-drtg in both years
lebron 118-101, 124-105
jordan 115-104, 119-107

efficiency also goes to lebron, by a WIDE margin.
jordan '92 0.49 FG%/57TS% jordan '93 0.45 FG%/55TS%
lebron '13 0.49 FG%/58TS% lebron '13 0.56 FG%/66TS%

also lebron did it against MUCH tougher defenses (DRTG)
lebron: SAS (101), IND (100), CHI (103), MIL (105), SAS (102), IND(99), BRK (107), CHA (104)
jordan: POR(104), CLE( 108), NYK (104), MIA (110), PHX (107), NYK (100), CLE (106), ATL(110)

Other stats such as PER, BPM, VORP, etc are all slightly in lebron's favor.

Jordan usage was much higher 37% & 38% vs lebron's 29% and 31% ... so here is where the scoring discrepancy comes from. Jordan also stat padded 2 more minutes per game.

TLDR lebron is a much more efficient, team-oriented jordan that played in a tougher era.

Your stats are inaccurate for the individual ORtg and DRtg you listed earlier - you used MJ's 1998 stats instead of his 1992 - nice try lying itt... That's a great look.. :rolleyes:

Anyway, the team DRtg's you listed above are useless - DRtg penalizes previous eras for taking more two-pointers - for this reason, ORtg and DRtg can't be used to compare across eras.

Specifically, 2-pointers have higher offensive rebounding rate than 3-pointers - the higher proportion of 2-pointers taken in previous eras gave those eras higher offensive rebounding rates and subsequently higher ORtg/DRtg.. This is a well-known statistical fact.. It's just the way the stat is calculated - higher oreb rate increases ORtg and corresponding DRtg.

So again, team or league-wide offensive/defensive ratings can't be used to grade defense across eras.. Only dumb people do it.. Literally.

MJ shot much more because his efficiency could handle the additional volume.. Otoh, Lebron shot much less, because his efficiency tanks at high volume.

You guys have a massive misunderstanding of efficiency and volume.. When you see MJ shooting more at equal efficiency, that means he's doing exactly what Lebron is doing, but he's doing a lot more OF IT.. Apply that concept to the per 100 stats of everyone below (playoffs per 100) - since MJ's efficiency is the same, MJ is doing exactly what everyone else is doing, but doing much more OF IT:

JORDAN:. 43.3 pts.. 32.5 fga.. 118 ORtg.. 56.8 ts.. 2.2 oreb.. 6.1 dreb.. 7.4 ast.. 4.0 tov.. 2.7 stl.. 1.1 blk

If these guys could shoot the same efficiency at MJ's higher volume, they would.. But they can't, so everyone's stats are bunched together, while MJ stands all alone at the top - look how much more MJ did.. It's amazing.

How was that game you little sissy boy?

Did you see the throw where kap overthrew his receiver by like 20 yards and hit the equipment dude. ?

You s a ho.

A sucka.

Mj da goat of all goats and you a little bitch ass ho.

[choppermagic]

The answer to the question is whatever you team needs. If you team is loaded with scoring, you can help out more with assists, rebounds. If there is a lack of scoring, then you pick up that area. Magic is a great example. Assists, getting people involved was more important than scoring 30ppg, but he could also score when he wanted to.

Less fouls per game = better defense :lol :lol :lol

This idea that Lebron or Durant could've shot more "if they wanted to", and still had the same efficiency, is bullshit and sheer ignorance..

When a player starts shooting high volume, their efficiency will take a hit.. But as the stats show, MJ was the most efficient high volume shooter of all time.

JORDAN 1992 PLAYOFFS: 34.5 ppg.. 1.7 oreb.. 4.5 dreb.. 5.8 apg.. 2.0 spg
JORDAN 1993 PLAYOFFS: 35.1 ppg.. 1.7 oreb.. 5.1 dreb.. 6.0 apg.. 2.1 spg

LEBRON 2013 PLAYOFFS: 25.9 ppg.. 1.6 oreb.. 6.8 dreb.. 6.6 apg.. 1.8 spg
LEBRON 2014 PLAYOFFS: 27.4 ppg.. 0.7 oreb.. 6.4 dreb.. 4.8 apg.. 1.8 spg

2 rebounds is good for potentially 6 points after converting the rebound into a score. Very unlikely that you get 4 point plays off of fouled 3 point attempts and even so, that's 8 points max.

10 points is greater than all of that.

Also Jordan was a better help defender and lock down defender than everyone on that list.

Did you read my post - Lebron shot 18 times per game in the 2013 and 2014 playoffs, compared to MJ's 26 and 28 times per game in 1992 and 1993.. 27 shots per game at 49% is far superior than 18 shots per game at 52%.

You don't realize that if Lebron had the ability to shoot 27 times per game at 50% like MJ, he'd be 6/6, just like MJ.

But keep being happy because your guy took 10 shots less per game.. Obviously, anytime he shot more than that, his efficiency tanked, which is why his overall efficiency is worse than MJ's.. Lebron can't shoot well at high volume, which hurts his team.

Which one is better?.. (sidenote: one of them is 6/6, the other is 2/6)..

and btw, MJ won the championship in 1991 and 1993 with a weaker supporting cast than Lebron's 2012 and 2013 rings, according to 538's rankings (https://espnfivethirtyeight.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/paine-datalab-lebron-cast-2.png).. MJ won with less.

Yep, lebron was riding down south to Miami while his mom was riding West. Bron, mad at West, decided that he would get back at him by finding the biggest loser he could in Miami and hooking that loser up with his mom. He didn't have to look far before coming across Da Real Lambo.

Lebron led his team in points-rebs-assist-steal, while MJ only led his team in points-assist-steal, not rebounds.. But MJ got more offensive rebounds than Lebron and scored 10 more ppg - so what's better - 10 more ppg, or 2 more defensive rebounds?

Bran stans berate Jordan for getting his father killed. (not true) At least he had a father that gave a shit about him. Where was Lebron's father?

Another loss for Lebron fam.
Getting the man that helped raise you killed because you're a compulsive gambler is a lot worse(based on the mob conspiracy theory floating around the Internet) than never meeting him. Why are you so f*cking stupid?

Were you dropped on your head as a kid? Lebron was riding down south to Miami while his mom was riding West. Bron, mad at West, decided that he would get back at him by finding the biggest loser he could in Miami and hooking that loser up with his mom. He didn't have to look far before coming across Da Real Lambo.

Yet again you ignore context to boost your shitty agenda.
Jordan 1992: 34.5 PPG, 26.4 FGA, equals 1.31 points per shot.
eFG%=.514, TS%=.571

Jordan 1993: 35.1 PPG, 27.8 FGA, 1.26 points per shot.
eFG%=.502, TS%=.553

Lebron 2013: 25.9 PPG, 18.8 FGA, 1.38 points per shot.
eFG%= .532, TS%=.585

Lebron 2014: 27.4 PPG, 17.0 FGA, 1.59 points per shot.
eFG%= .616, TS%= .668

So Lebron was by FAR more effeciency than Jordan (more than 10% higher:eek: ) and scored more points per shot. The only reason Jordan had 10 more points per game is because he's a ball hog and shot a lot more than Lebron.

So when you take into account that Lebron was more effeciency and scored at a higher rate per shot, I would easily take his 2 rebounds and far superior stats over Jordan's less efficient chucking.
