LeGendary.

I like this one.:bowdown:

[Jasper]

*ries...

and he achieved in the NBA Finals. Crazy.
domination is the word...

And I actually thought he lost part of his game from when he played with the Heat :D

[Keno]

damn, greatest of all time tbh.

[Johnni Gade]

Jordan is better at scoring, but Lebron is better overall :cheers:
bold statement

[jlip]

I don't think people understand how impressive this is. Blocks and steals have been kept for over 40 years. Over 1000 players and hundreds of playoff series have been played since then, but only one player, Lebron, has led both teams in pts, rbs, asts, stls, and blks. :applause: :applause: :applause:

MJ led his team in passing, just like Lebron - he led the Bulls in assist percentage for both 3-peats (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713121&postcount=49), so he assisted on the highest proportion of teammate field goals.

In addition to his team-leading passing, Jordan scored 5.5 more ppg than Lebron in for their playoff careers, with better efficiency across the board (TS, FG, ORtg) - that's more valuable, requires more energy and controls the game better than Lebron's 2.5 defensive rebound edge (with less offensive rebounds) and 1.0 assist edge (with more turnovers).

Ultimately, Jordan's goat scoring load, team-leading passing, and best-ever defense at his position is the greatest all-round performance and biggest load ever carried.

[plowking]

This was the best finals performance I've ever seen given the context and moment. 30/11/9... Absolutely crazy.

What an awful outcome this series was for you

[SpaceJammeR]

and he was the best defensively.:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[DirkNowitzki41]

against a 73-9 team while still being the best defender on either team

you cant make this up. lebrons the goat in my eyes. and im not even joking. he should be top 5 at the very absolute worst in everyone elses eyes too.

I'm much more impressed that Jordan led his team in scoring for every series of his career by an average of 15.4 ppg (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=406920), while ALSO leading his team in passing - he led the Bulls in assist percentage for both 3-peats (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713121&postcount=49), so he assisted on the highest proportion of teammate field goals.

Btw, no all-time great led their team in scoring for every playoff series of their careers, let alone by 15 ppg like Jordan (who also led his team in passing).

Not at all - as Lebron accumulates accolades, it only shows how GOAT Jordan is, because his accolades are greater.

Also, the Warriors' loss means that Jordan STILL has both regular season supremacy over Lebron (72 wins by a championship team) AND postseason superiority (6/6 and twice the FMVP's)

[red1]

how can anyone hate. absolute greatness

[LeBird]

If Lebron fans could choose between Lebron getting 40+ points, 15+ rebounds or 10+ assists (they can only choose one), they would choose 40+ points most of the time.

So POINTS are the most important thing a #1 option does.. Think about it - Lebron won these Finals by producing back-to-back 40 point games, but he only has 15 playoff games in his career with 40+ points (1 every 14 games), compared to Jordan's 38 games of 40+ points (1 every 3.8 games).

If you could pick between 10 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists what would you pick?

What about 10 points, 10 rebounds and 20 assists?

You're the stupidest mofo on the Internet. And legit have mental issues. People are already coming around to Lebron being the greatest and the voices will get deafening the more he wins.

[Mr Feeny]

People keep saying that?

Didn't he do it last season? Or am I wrong?

[Dray n Klay]

Not in steals and blocks

[Mr Feeny]

Hmm I was sure he did.

Anyways this is absolutely insane.
He was the best scorer playmaker rebounder shot blocker and playing the passing lanes in the entire finals:biggums: he made the best players in the world look like pub players. King James ftw :rockon: :applause:
