Jordan would be using 3.4 more possessions at higher efficiency per possession (118 vs 116 ortg)...

So how many more close games would lebron win if he used 3 more possessions at higher efficiency, instead of deferring them to teammates with lower efficiency?...

Wouldn't lebron win WAY more close games if he used 3 more possessions at higher efficiency?

That's why MJ is goat - he used more possessions at better efficiency than any wing ever.. and btw, there's many spots where MJ's usage was 10 points higher, which would mean he used about 20 more possessions

I guess the OP was too complicated

Lebron's usage deficit meant that MJ used about 3 more possessions per game, at higher efficiency per possession

Wouldn't lebron win a lot more close games if he was using an extra 3 possessions a game at better efficiency?
