Nick Wright talks this b.s all the time and i hear alot of other people say it too. In relation to basketball mj is much faster. Its not even an argument. In almost everything that requires speed in basketball mj is faster. The only aspect where bron may be faster is in a straight line full court situation. In every other aspect mj is faster.

Maybe a better to put it would be to say lebron is faster but mj is quicker.

I’ve never heard this but don’t listen to Nick Wright. That guy is a dweeb. Like what you said LeBron might be a little faster down full court on a break but that’s it.

This is true. It’s possible Lebron is as fast on an open court but in terms of getting to your spots and covering your man, Jordan is faster.

I am probably the biggest LeBron fan on this forum, but Jordan would beat him easily. Jordan would psyche him out before the race started, gain a massive lead and finish running backwards with his thumbs up staring at LeBron. This is hard to say, but us in the LeBron family have to acknowledge this and accept it. Jordan is simply better than LeBron at everything.

If that cavs team faced the lakers that same year, maybe they could have taken the finals series to 6 or 7 games, as opposed to just 5 games by the magic.

I think MJ and Bron are close in the open court. Bron is a great athlete and has a longer stride. But he aint close to MJ in regards to overall quickness. Honestly, I don't think Bron is as quick as Zion. Zion is scary quick, he has 6'4 200 pound quickness.

Which reminds me of something I've always argued regarding quickness.

Some players are big and slow on the open court but their moves are quick AF, one player that comes to mind is Zach Randolph. That big ol blob was as slow as a snail. But had quick head fakes, up and under, hooks, etc.

Yeah zion is scary quick at his size. As far as bron snd mj i do think mj is a better defender mostly for the reason that hes quicker than bron. I think the reason why lebron makes it close is because of his versatility on the defensive end. He can legit gaurd 1 to 4. I dont know why people say 1 to 5. He cant gaurd centers really.

Oh.. Bron isn't close to MJ defensively.

When Bron wants to he can be great, not sure if he's as great as MJ when he wants to tho, but still great.

There are a number of issues with Bron's defence which I won't get into, but quickness isn't one of them. You can be a great defender without being quick. One needs to know angles, have discipline but more importantly have a high IQ with timing.

Bron has some of those, but lacks perhaps the biggest one of all... willingness.

A great defender is willing to put in the work more often than not. As you alluded, Bron at times doesn't always go hard on defense which automatically takes him down.

A great defender is non stop, doesn't care if they get beat, doesn't care if they're slower, they have a dog mentality. Which is why some non athletic players have been great defenders consistently. Why players past their prime can still be great defenders even if they get beat from time to time. A great defender will still get beat, but at least won't disrupt the team's overall defensive schemes. And what we see with Bron is him disrupting his team's defensive schemes time and time again. His IQ, willingness to defend cause the schemes to break down at times. Mistakes happen, but a great defensive player will minimize those mistakes.

I remember people laughed at Joel Anthony's stats when he was with the Heat, or Kwame Brown's impact defensively. They didn't always get the block, didn't always shut down their man. But they positioned themselves to be at the right place at the right time more often than not to help their team defensively. Either deter a shot, or disrupt the offence in some fashion which is the sign of a good-great defender.

Yeah i think brons defensively effort in the last few years has hurt his defensive reputation. For a stretch in his prime though it was pretty good. He made a bunch of defensive teams and was a dpoy candidate.

Im bout to get tons of hate... but I thought he was overrated while in his defensive prime.

Imo it's about consistency and effort. You can't get a nod for some possessions when you're not focused most of the game. Defensively lapses and mistakes aren't excusable. Like I mentioned, you don't need to be a stopper to be a great defender as long as you don't disrupt the defensive schemes you're doing your job. But he wasn't focused enough to avoid disrupting the defensive schemes. I get it, lapses will happen. But a great defensive player minimizes these lapses. Was he great? at times. Was he deserving of DPOY? naw, perhaps 2nd team, but not DPOY over some other more deserving players.

I hate to bring it up but the meme of Bron getting pushed to his spot is a small example of his career.

Mistakes do happen, mental lapses happen, bad positioning happen to every player. But that lapse is more common for him (imo) to be considered with MJ.

Aint saying MJ was perfect, but he minimized his mistakes far more than Bron.

Hate to sound like Im hating (I'm not) but while he's great, he aint MJ great. MJ is All Defensive 1st team, I'd say Bron is 2nd at his best... when he wants to be.

He's not faster, quicker, or a higher leaper. Doesn't have the same stamina, and definitely not the same lateral or anticipatory speed. He's bigger, but pound for pound might not even be stronger either. People get into full blown hyperbole about athletic human evolution. Let alone in such short periods of time like 20 - 30 years.

I dont know. In the open court id say bron was a little faster and He gets up higher of one foot. Mj gets up higher off 2 though. Mj also had quicker hops as he was just quicker in general.

And yeah mj is known for his underrated strength but hes not stronger than bron. Hes tougher though.

This is tell tale you don't know what you're talking about. It's a much over exaggerated brief moment in LeBron's defensive career.

LeBron merely stayed in front of Derrick by sagging, and contested someone who didn't want to take any jumpers. Let alone with a 6'8 guy guarding him.

With no offensive threats or distractions around him for the Heat to pay attention to ... Miami had Bron face him up, yet had Wade hedging / shading in driving lanes (leaving Keith Bogans LMAO because he's a non-factor) and Joel Anthony / Bosh / Haslem zoned up near the rim.

Go back and watch that series its not a myth at all. He played great defence on him. He was engaged and moving his feet. Yeah he could sag off a bit because of roses suspect jumper but he still played great defense. Its ok to admit it. It dosnt take anything away from mj defensively by doing so.

It was just an example of lebrons elite defense during that span. He played defense like that fairly consistently throughout that span. That was just one of the more well known times.

I agree with you that it wasnt as consistent as mj who was like that all the time. Practice, pick up games ect. Bron had times during that stretch where he wasnt as engaged. 2011 finals come to mind. Overall though he was pretty damn good on that end.

You make fair points so im fine with you saying mj is better but acting like bron wasnt close is a bit ridiculous.

This has nothing to do with Jordan.

I'm talking about how over exaggerated that defense on MVP Derrick Rose was. It was a team effort. That Heat team was amazing defensively, particularly when they turned it up in the playoffs.

And it was minimal amounts of time Bron even guarded Derrick. LeBron got all the credit by casuals who don't understand, because he was merely the man standing in front of Derrick during those moments. It was a team defensive effort, and Chicago had NO LEGIT offensive weapons besides Derrick.

This wasn't even some man to man smothering defensive effort as we saw with Mike and Scottie on a Mount Rushmore player like Magic in the 1991 Finals. It's highly exaggerated.

Of course it was a team effort. Even with great defenders its usually a team effort that does the job. Shit mj had one of the best defensive team help ever.

That 1991 finals is a perfect example and a terrible point. Magic was giving mj problems because of his size. Magic didnt have any problems until pip took over the defensive assignment.

He's not faster, or quicker. He's bigger. That's it. Doesn't have a higher vertical either. Doesn't have the same level of body control, and dexterity. Footwork is much slower. Lateral movement? Not even close. IDK if even definitively if he's actually stronger.

Mj is known for his strength but id say bron is a bit stronger. Mj is definitely quicker and as far as whos faster in the open court its close and debatable. As far as vertical mj is a better leaper off 2 but lebron is better off one although its close. Overall id say mj is a better leaper just because hes elite off one and two and bron is just elite of one. Mj also has quicker hops and a better second jump. Mj used to dunk on guys off a hop step. Im not sure ive ever seen bron do that.

Jordan has a higher vertical leap and is much quicker. Their 40 yard dash numbers are online. Jordan has the quickest figure in history. Westbrook never has his recorded or I suspect he would have challenged him.

Lebron is significantly bigger so he's stronger, but that doesn't matter in MJ' case since he had the fadeaway. His game in the post wasn't to back his opponent down with sheer force ala Shaq; he had the footwork and fadeaway to get an open look any time he wanted.

This is almost laughable. On what basis is Wade stronger? Wade himself wouldn't begin to argue that he was stronger than Jordan.

Plenty of bigger guys including Artest and Horry said that Jordan was the strongest guard they ever faced. They kept reiterating that he "didnt feel like a guard" because of his strength.

It doesn't make him stronger than a power forward or a strong small forward like Lebron but he was definitely much stronger than freaking Dwyane Wade.

lol Wade is clearly stronger than Jordan...especially if were talking a pre comeback Jordan. A pre comeback Jordan was walking around at 200 while Wade was around that from his rookie season. He was going around at 228 2009+. Wade is clearly a stronger player than Jordan pound for pound. Does that make him better? Obviously not, but Wade is clearly a stronger player, period, dumb ass.

Not sure how you figure that. Theres no determining who was stronger between Wade and second 3 peat mj. They were close in size and muscle mass. Wade might of been 15 lbs heavier but that dosnt alwsys equal stronger. All i know is theres plenty of players who've attested to mj's freakish strength and i cant recall anyone whos described wade like that. Hes obviously athletic and strong though so like i said who knows.

This.

Lebron is a freak athlete for any size and is one of the fastest players ever regardless of size/position. I have agreed that MJ and Bron in a straight race is close which is an incredibly compliment onto itself. But MJ was blowing by people even in the late 90s past his physical prime.

It shouldn't be taken as an insult to Bron or a diss to state he wasn't as fast MJ in the open court.

I didn’t say LeBron wasn’t an other worldly amazing athlete, I said he’s not as fast as Jordan. And he’s clearly not. He’s also not as quick. There’s only a 2 to 3 inch height difference between them. It’s not absurdly different.

This is an interesting discussion. LeBron earlier on his career was one of the fastest players anyone ever saw, especially at his size. To be 6'8" and 240+ lbs and fly the way he did was remarkable to watch. Having said that, MJ was earlier, but I think for a shorter period of time. Between 1984-1988, MJ seemed to have unmatched speed and quickness of anyone in NBA history. But that was a short amount of time. After getting beaten up by the Pistons physically, over and over, MJ seemed to have lost a step in addition to gaining some weight. But early MJ was faster than LeBron at any point of his career, though it is close. Quickness is where MJ is unmatched.

Not sure if anyone has read this article from 1983, but have a read: https://www.nytimes.com/1983/12/26/sports/jordan-settles-into-success-as-a-tar-heel.html

The article mentions: "He is a well-proportioned, 6-foot- 6-inch, 190-pounder who can play either guard or forward. He is fast, having run the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds. He is strong and a good jumper, which enables him to play against forwards a few inches taller."

But I do believe that level of speed was short lived.

LOL and Wade was so healthy and productive in the 2013 playoffs? I love Wade but LeBron basically dragged his corpse through the first 3 rounds. Granted, Wade was much better in the finals than he had been in the first 3 rounds, but he still wasn't exactly dominating offensively.

Lebron might have a comparable topspeed to MJ, even though MJ edges him out on 40 times

but Lebron's long strides means his acceleration is not nearly as quick. Bran has a VERY pedestrian first step, which limits him as an iso scorer in the half court. there was a reason the man needed a PnR his first season in the league. He never had the blowby speed from triple threat stance due to his mediocre quickness

TheCorporation is a troll that seems to prefer sloganeering to actually discussing the topic of this thread. Both LeBron James and Michael Jordan were athletic freaks with remarkable speed. The data we have shows us that Michael was a little faster. It’s that simple.

No one "shows" anyone "how to win". You sound like Skip Bayless.

What? Thats the biggest pile of nonsense ive ever heard. Plenty of people have showed others how to win. Wether its a player, coach, assistant coach, parents. Nobody does it on their own. Not mj and not bron

Lebron and it’s not close. Can find many Lebron clips that’ll leave you blown away by how fast he gets end to end. Jordan not so much. He’s honestly pretty overrated in that regard athletically his true niche was leaping.

BS. You're either trolling or ignorant. Jordan's speed was such that he would routinely outrun players on the break while dribbling. But don't take my word for it.

He and LeBron are two of the fastest players of all time. You couldn't do wrong with either of them. Jordan has a decided advantage in overall quickness and LeBron has an advantage in pure strength.

If only quickness is enough to make your team win in several situations.

Lebron is definitely the fastest in terms of running away from competition and teaming up

Thanks to ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” it’s prime season for mythical Michael Jordan stories. One of his assistant coaches at North Carolina threw another one out there on Tuesday.

Current UNC head coach Roy Williams, an assistant under Dean Smith during Jordan’s college career, recounted an incredible display of Jordan’s athleticism to Colin Cowherd on Tuesday’s “The Herd”.

The set-up was a team practice shortly before Jordan’s sophomore season, in which players’ heights, weights and 40-yard dashes were recorded to track their growth. Jordan, who had recently hit a shot to win a national championship, took part and blew the coaches away.

From The Herd:

His freshman year, he was really athletic and fast. He was like a 4.5. I’ll never forget this, his sophomore year, he ran the 40-yard. Me and coach [Bill] Guthridge and our trainer Mark Karns. We all three had hand stopwatches. We’re not professional timers by any means, but he crossed the line, I looked and I said, ‘Wow. Coach Guthridge, what’d you get?’ He looked at me and Mark said, ‘I got 4.39.’ And coach Guthridge said, ‘I got 4.38.’ And I said, ‘I did too.’

“I said, ‘Michael, we missed your start, made a mistake. Come on, I need you to run it again.’ He said, ‘Too fast for you, huh?’ He goes back to the line, runs it again, and all of us got below 4.4. As a sophomore, he went from 6-foot-4 and a half to 6-foot-6 and got faster.”

An unofficial 4.38 40-yard dash. At 6-foot-6 and nearly 200 pounds. To go with this vertical jump.

That's just what he did in Carolina. He was clocked at 4.3 in a Deon Sanders special.

Lebron tells ESPN that once did a 4.6. That's really fast for someone his size, but he obviously isnt9 as quick as Jordan.

Ironic isn't it?

Since you have about 2,5000 post in LESS than a year defending Lebron

Please think before you call other posters out

Thanks

Wow a straight 4.3? Is there video with Deon Sanders or any documented reference to that? I've never heard of MJ running that fast before. 4.38 is already insanely fast.

think to this

michale can be .10 faster in a 120 feet race of 40 yard dash

BUT

do you want to stand in front of
280 pounds of muscle going 100 mph
180 pounds of muscle going 105 mph

Uh, speed in basketball is more important in more ways than just thinking about who you'd want to take a charge from.
