ESPN: Lebron or Durant, who would have been a better sidekick to MJ?

[LukeWalton]

ESPN has a thing going on
replace Pippen with LeBron or Durant, who would compliment MJ and the bulls team better?

Some pros and cons

Lebron
+ plays point forward like Pippen did
+ not very injury prone, can adjust to MJ
- breaks down in the 4th quarter, but MJ can probably cover that
- may feel insecure next to Rodman's bright full hair line

KD
+ could better match with the tall players of the early 90s, especially the Celtics
- would breakdown from MJ's constant trash talk or occasional punches to teammates

ESPN is cancer

Lol I don't see how durant becomes a sidekick when he's mostly just a scorer LeBron could play pg i guess so scoring wise would be a sidekick.

Ok Kev

Both of them are such douchebag credit whores they would ruin a good thing in time.

In terms of basketball skills, Lebron.

In terms of mentality, Durant.

I'm assuming prime versions. 91-93 MJ with 2009-2012 Lebron is a terror. Paxson automatically becomes a better player than he was. BJ Armstrong becomes boobie gibson with more space. Bill Cartwright gets more open layups. MJ is going to be MJ no matter what, you have to look at the team and it's clear as day roleplayers will perform better and that makes MJ even more dangerous. Horace gets easy lobs. Lebron would probably average 25-8-10 while Jordan averages 33-6-5.

I'd say while KD is long and very athletic.... The 90's had tougher physical front courts and Lebron despite whining, is built for that type of penetration ball. Assuming the Bulls have Horace, Cartwright, BJ, Paxson, that team would be a terror.

LeBron is a superPippen anyways so yeah LeBron, easy.

The answer should be Lebron and AINEC

Lebron is the ultimate sidekick in NBA. He is can pass and just let Jordan take over the game. Lebron shy away from big moments, which is perfect for Jordan

Lebron was a great 2nd opinion behind AD this year.

KD just doesn't fit as well with Jordan
