Is current Lebron better than Prime Magic?

[Basketball IQ]

Discuss? Lebron is averaging 29/8/6. Even though LeBron has taken a stepback on defense he is still a better defender than Magic ever was. Thoughts?

Aside from playmaking ability, yes absolutely

Can’t make the playoffs with peak Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Rajón Rondo

Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Rajón Rondo

Always injured, kinda washed, out of the league, out of the league, out of the league

Do better bud

[WhiteKyrie]

IMO Bron has always been better than Magic

[1987_Lakers]

Current LeBron? Nah. Maybe 2020 LeBron.

Magic was a defensive liability when he hit his peak, but his impact on the offensive end has only been reached by a very few.

[Lebron23]

All time. LeBron is rank higher than Magic.

Solid answer to the question. Is 2002 Michael Jordan better than 2003 Tim Duncan?

[Full Court]

Let's see....prime Magic was winning championships....

current Bronie is in the lottery.



Does that answer your question, OP?

Michael Jordan in 2002 wasn't even a top 30 player.


LeBron top 10 for this year.

LeBron top 10 for this year.

Would prime Magic be less than a top 10 player?

[RRR3]

No of course not. Magic was the best player in the league at his best. LeBron is still a beast but he doesn't have near the impact over a game he once did.

Current LeBron? Nah. Maybe 2020 LeBron.

Magic ..... defense, never belongs in the same sentence. He was frequently assigned the least offensive threat on the opposing team.

I've seen people criticize players for their lack of 2-way ability, yet put Magic in their top 4-5.
