Rebound(Lebron vs Michael Jordan)
I know Lebron got tons or total rebound compare to MJ but don't be fool by his statpadding ass.
MJ>>>>Lebron on rebound here is why:
Most of Lebron rebound comes from easy to get defensive rebound. He rarely box out and fight for a rebound and if he fight for a rebound he often lose. He just wait for the opponent miss shot and steal rebound from teammates and if his teammates doesn't let him get his rebound, he'll be pissed. Look at this video, may be it's also one of the reason why Lebron leave the Heat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZhm0wcwn0c tsk tsk such a diva.
Let see their offensive rebound stat.
MJ: From his rookie year up his 9th year, MJ collect 1131 offensive boards.
Lebron: From his rookie year up to today, LBJ collect 1030 offensive boards.
And lebron is 6'8 250+ lbs and is playing in an era of watered down bigman.
Another facts:
MJ: 125.66 offensive rebound per season( in his prime) rookie-9th year.
MJ: 119 offensive rebound per season on chicago
MJ: 111 offensive rebound per season on both chicago and wizard
Lebron: 93.6 offensive rebound per season(still prime)rookie-11th year
and this wil still go down as LBJ fade.
Offensive rebound is very hard to get because you have to fight for it every time and it takes so much energy and skills to get one and in MJ's case his doing this on Bigman golden era.
So in terms of hustle and rebounding, good anticipation and guessing if the ball will miss or not.....MJ>>>Lebron.
MJ craftiness and taking advantage of opponent mistake by not blocking him out.

Re: Rebound(Lebron vs Michael Jordan)
i evaluate players on skill, stats and competition. lebron simply does more than anyone in history, including jordan - and its not very close.
scoring: wash (lebron was more efficient
playmaking: lebron
rebounding: lebron
overall defense: lebron (can guard multiple positions on the floor)
athleticism: lebron
competition faced: lebron
lebron is a better rebounder because of his size, speed, and strength. essentially a pg in a PF body out-rebounding most of his peers H2H.
a better playmaker, also because of his height and strength (checkout his FULL court passes). there isn't anything he CANT do on the floor,which makes him the toughest cover in history. beethoven in sneakers

not a single play from lebron can compare to that LOL
rebounding: Jordan as I stated above
overall defense: Jordan (Lebron can't guard patty mills, green,terry, barea, parker, marion, nowitzki LOL).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4gigN2zMU4
DOPY, 9x 1st defense 3rd steal title, 3rd alltime leader in steal.
athleticism: lebron i'll give you this
competition faced: Jordan( because Lebron always got beat down doesn't mean the league is tough its means someone is not better than Jordan but better than Lebron). east is garbage like never before

Re: Rebound(Lebron vs Michael Jordan)
Theyre both comparable athletes
the difference is MJ is one of the most skilled players ever while Lebron is still a terrific athlete with some smarts. Hes not a technical or very skilled player just physically very dominant

outside of volume scoring, jordan has nothing on lebron and Kobe is better at every facet of the game - scoring (efficiently), shooting (three ball) defense, ball-handling, off hand, etc.
jordan has no CONSISTENT long range and was close to a liability in that regard. he struggled to score against taller, athletic swingmen, evident by his numbers during the 2nd 3 peat and wizards stint.
jrodan also lost 9 times in the playoffs, winning just once before pippen, the better all-around player of the two was drafted. he had a loaded roster, and his leadership is overrated.
jordan is the GOAT SG , but lebron > jordan overall.

nor would he wouldn't need to play with the very best talent to every single one of his rings.
also, it's kind of dumb to keep calling lebron the better rebounder when OP already showed how Lebron is a VASTLY WORSE offensive rebounder, which means he only gets the easy rebounds - why am i not surprised on iota?

HOF (*)
prior to jordan, guards were usually 6''2-6''5, now they go up to even 6''8 or 6''9 (swingmen). just watch every Jordan game, and you will see a few things.
1) he was generally guarded by a shorter defender (2-3 inches shorter)
2) he was able to back his shorter defender down 1 on 1.
lebron Defenders:
Durant 6''9
AK47: 6''9
Prince 6''9
Battier 6''8 (now retired)
Marion 6''8
Pierce: 6''8
Posey 6''8
Johnson: 6''8
Harrington: 6''8
Bowen 6''7 (now retired)
Artest: 6''7
K.Martin 6''8
Bell: 6''5
Davis: 6''4
jordan Defenders:
Russell 6''7
Ehlo: 6''6
Payton: 6''4
Ainge: 6''4
Dumars: 6'3
Starks 6"3
lebron faces better, bigger, stronger, athletic players night in and night out against zone defenses (illegal in Jordan's day). all the elite defenders of the 80s were 6'4" and under (look it up).
bottom line...
typical defenders jordan faced 6''2 -6''5, less athletic
Typical swingmen lebron faces 6''5-6''9, more athletic

Sorry you're wrong dude.
Outside of scoring..
Rebound MJ>Lebron as I stated on my thread.
Passing MJ>Lebron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiTOXUmsdoM
Defense MJ>Lebron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4gigN2zMU4
MJ is not a liability on 3's because he only take few of them and most of his clutch 3's and game winner went in.
And pippen>Lebron outside of scoring

Re: Rebound(Lebron vs Michael Jordan)
regardless if you think shorter defenders are better or taller defenders are better, you can see that lebron goes up against more athletic taller defenders. FACT.
also, you consider that lebron 2003-2014 played against BOTH zone and handchecking (they still allow it) and his best season during that time span 2012 .FACT
Jordan only faced handchecking, not zone in his prime. FACT
