Lebron...... 28.9

It’s easier to maintain a higher ppg average the less games you play

Thru 179 playoff games:

JORDAN: 33.5 ppg.. 56.8 ts.. 28.6 PER.. more game-winners.. 6 rings

LEBRON:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 28.2 ppg.. 56.5 ts.. 27.4 PER.. less game-winners.. 2 rings

Thats a 5.3 ppg gap on better shooting efficiency, offensive efficiency (ortg/per possession efficiency, PER), and defense

B-b-b-buh what's their Gamescore and VORP!!

[TheCorporation]

GAME SCORE DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR PACE

Then, in the same breath

CHECK OUT MJ'S PPG

Uh, does that account for pace

I'd imagine it lines up perfectly with the difference in fga op?

Fun fact

LeBron James scored MORE points on LESS shots than Jordan when he broke his record

MJ had better offensive efficiency than lebron, so no.. MJ scored 5 more points on better offensive efficiency (see below)

The fga difference is just because lebron took a lot more threes and FT's...

Offensive Efficiency:

Jordan:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 118 offensive rating (ortg)... 28.6 Player Efficiency Rating (PER)
Lebron:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 116 offensive rating (ortg)... 28.3 Player Efficiency Rating (PER)

offensive rating = points produced per 100 possessions (per possession efficiency)

5 more points on 4 more shots pookie. And the fact Lebron's a 49% playoff shooter in his career to this point.....You should be able to connect those dots unless you're smoking dope.

MJ shot 4 more times due to less FT's and threes, but his shooting efficiency was the same as Lebron's (within 1%), while scoring 5 more points..

Any lebron fan would give up 1% shooting efficiency for 5 more points, especially since shooting efficiency falls under the umbrella of per possession efficiency (ortg), where MJ's is higher

inaccurate.

He shot 4 more times because he's a different type of player that shoots more. By choice. By taste. By style. Quit with the stupid concepts bro. 5 more points on 4 more shots. It is what it is and you're smart enough to make the correlation yourself.
