LeBron at 38 yrs old was better offensively than first team all nba Jayson Tatum.

Did he "roll" his ankle when he shot a putrid 36% against the Warriors and shatter the turnover record

Tatum scored the most points of of anyone in the NBA last season. Celtics would still be quality without him but that demonstrates that he's the kind of player that can carry an offense for a while season. James missed 27 games. Simple stiff. Tatum has records for both play in as well as game 7 but you want to act like he's just a choker. He's not perfect but you're being stupid.

Go rewatch the 2022 finals and try and tell me he's not a choker

So you are saying that Embiid the MVP is not an elite player?

When it counts no

Go rewatch him dropping Philly. Rewatch him getting 50 point games. And explain how missing 27 games doesn't matter. That season when Tatum had such a bad finals James team didn't even make the playoffs and he missed 26 games.

This thread isn't about LeBron vs Tatum...bron wins that all day, every day, including currently. What this topic is about though is how bad Miguel Jordan was at 38...both compared to the real goat, LeBron, and his peers at the time.

OP forgot to read his thread title

Most people don't realize that when Lebron was scoring all those points last season, he was expending the team's offense to do so - he was sacrificing chemistry, fits, ball movement and brand of ball to score, so the Lakers were missing the play-in.

Once he got hurt and the team took off, he was forced to play off-ball when he returned - he knew that he couldn't mess up the Lakers' chemistry with his trashy ball-domination.. it's proof that his brand of ball has always been shitty and held back teammates or teams from reaching their full potential... Otoh, expert jumpshooters like Curry or Jordan facilitate ball movement, so they allow a better brand of ball that allows the team to reach full capacity from a chemistry and strategy standpoint.

This message is hidden because 3ba11 is a window licking tard stuck on repeat.

Damn, one series constitutes as a choker? Was it the biggest stage? Yes. Did he play awful? Yes.

How about dropping 46 in Game 6 against Milwaukee on the road down 3-2? How about turning it on in the fourth quarter against the Sixers in Philly down 3-2? How about dropping 50 in game 7 against Philly?

He has very low lows, but to flat out call him a choker when he puts together performances like I mentioned, it's just ignorance.

If somebody tells you that current bron is still better than him, then what would your reaction be?

Current LeBron is not only better than Tatum, he's better than any version of lil Mikey post 1993.

I personally think that's false. They're both top 10 players. Where you put them is subjective.

[Real Men Wear Green]

You can't miss over 25 games every year and still be top 10. Being able to play is actually the most important thing.
