Walk on Water

I was watching highlights of the Bulls dynasty and Jordan was getting carried. Jordan played off the ball and he wasn't even playing with that much talent.
Lebron on the other hand played with 7 All Stars and carried every single one of them while ensuring he kept his assists up. Jordan has less assists because he let his teammates carry him. If he was so good he would have just done it himself and played more on the ball.
Jordan has the 30th fewest turnover percentage of all time. That means he wasn't facing quality defenders and was letting his teammates carry him.
Remember what Lebron said. Never let someone ride your wave. Because kings are leaders. They dominate, they don't let their own teammates bail them out. They ARE the system.
That's when I realized that Lebron is a more impactful player than Michael Jordan. Jordan took the cheap way out by relying on guys like Steve Kerr and Tony Kukoc. Pippen even wrote a book insisting he did more than Mike.
If Lebron was on that Bulls team, he would have attracted better players like Shawn Kemp and Penny Hardaway. And he would've made sure that he was the alpha on that team and not let them bail him out. Why couldn't Jordan attract better players like Lebron? Why did Jordan just stand around and not get more involved? That's why his stats suck. 5 assists a game? Come on. Lebron ain't gonna let nobody carry him, even WITH better players. That's why Jordan was a pushover. He didn't have the hard responsibility of Lebron.
Even when Lebron was playing with stars, he still had to carry them. Jordan got carried by Pippen, so much so that Pippen had to write a book cuz he bailed Jordan out with those 6 championships.
Lebron had much more responsibility. And even if Lebron played in an easier Eastern Conference, that's only because he has a higher basketball IQ and knows that it's more practical to get to the Finals that way. That's due to his basketball IQ.
I mean think about it! Pippen wrote a whole book on how bad Jordan really was. And he played baseball and punched Steve Kerr. What a horrible teammate. In the end Lebron is the GOAT scorer and he's not even trying to score, he's trying to get assists and rebounds, something Mike didn't do. And yet somehow Lebron ended up with more points than Jordan? Lebron was committed. He plays golf in the off season, but would NEVER quit the NBA just to play GOLF.
