LeBron vs Jordan at 38 Years Old

[8Ball]

LeBron - 29/8/7 on 51%
Jordan - 23/6/5 on 41%


LeBron is good enough to make All-nba 1st team this year, but Tatum, Durant, Giannis are having such a monstrous MVP like seasons. Putting Bron at all-nba 2nd team.

Meanwhile Jordan was not good enough to make any all-nba team.



How can Jordan be a better player than LeBron if LeBron was the better player when both were 19 years old and 38 years old? And Bron was equal if not better from 19 all the way to 38.

It makes zero sense to me how people can continue to hold on to the Jordan GOAT myth.

Bron also played about 350-400 more games by the time both were 38 and 5+ more seasons. And still better.


Jordan GOAT narrative is DEAD after this season is over, you will still have blind witnesses here and there claiming Jordan is the GOAT, but nobody will take them seriously.

Easier opportunity to put up big numbers now efficiently and Jordan was an actual quality defender. Even at that age. LeBron has been trash defensively for a long time.

Dont forget LeBron's close to 19 all nba teams vs Jordan's 13.

And the all time scoring record.

Easier to put up big numbers at 38?

I don't see any other 38 year olds in the league putting up big numbers.

Jordan's body could not sustain long enough.

He tried but had to take multiple load management seasons off.

That hurts his goat argument since you can't win all nba teams while golfing.

This. But OP is a brainless Bronie fluffer, so he'll refuse to see what's right in front of his face.

Like him saying Lebron can be all NBA first team this year.....that's utterly ludicrous. Bronie can drive to the hoop and layup the ball. That's it. Overall, he's a net negative, which is why his super team with four all stars is in the lottery bracket.

One took 19yrs to play 15 seasons (by choice). Only one Olympic appearance and turned down a 2nd, saying it was to taxing on the body..... :oldlol:

The other has played 20 consecutive seasons with many Olympic and FIBA appearances during that time.
