Which versions of Jordan were as good as 2009 and 2018 Playoff LeBron?

[Manny98]

91, that's it

If you’re using a stat like PER then using similar stats he has a few of them as good or better

86-98 Jordan

LeBron has never been a great shooter whether it be from 3 or mid-range,he got a little better at it over the years but for the most part he's streaky.His defense is overrated.He cannot guard all 5 positions,he's never been a great man to man defender and ever since he left Miami his defense rapidly dropped and got worse each season to the point where one of his teammates had to shove him in front of an opposing player,the guy picks and chooses when to play D.

Jordan didn't decide that. Jackson only wanted Jordan doing what he was best at. Jackson preferred other players to handle the other responsibilities because they were better at it.

1991 Bulls Roles:

Offense Initiator: John Paxson
Offense Stabilizer: John Paxson
Top Playmaker: Scottie Pippen
Defensive Quarterback: Scottie Pippen
Go-To Scorer: Michael Jordan
Clutch Scorer: Michael Jordan

LeBron Team Roles:

Offense Initiator: LeBron James
Offense Stabilizer: LeBron James
Top Playmaker: LeBron James
Defensive Quarterback: LeBron James
Go-To Scorer: LeBron James
Clutch Scorer: LeBron James

In terms of responsibility, LeBron does more in 5 minutes than Jordan did in an entire game.

Jordan was better at the things he did than LeBron is at the things he does--but LeBron simply is asked to do a lot more for his teams than Jordan was.

LeBron refuses to let his teammates play their actual game,he always wants to do it all.Jack of all trades MASTER OF NONE.

Well. No.



Better peak. Better consistency. More times. Equal years. What are you on about? GOAT MAN lives on.

All of them because MJ always commanded double-teams, so he's better than 09' Bron... And he never held tge ball for 11 minutes a game like 18' Lebron so his team never got massively out-assisted or beat by record amount

Stan said they "let him (Bron) dribble and get stats"... Kerr also didn't double lebron

No wonder his teammates didn't play that well because teams stay at home - they play an adjustment-less style against Lebron's long-dribbling and weak jumpshooting - it would be dumb to get the ball out his hands

Stats LIKE PER

Jordan has the all time highest GameScore for a playoff run, and litters the Top 10. You guys almost worship GameScore from what I’ve seen, and it’s just a simplified version of PER

Well. No.

^^^ Record losing vs record winning

Lebron's top PER's are record losses (14', 18') and record upsets (09')

So they were stat-padding drills and can't be compared to the goat winning that MJ's top PER's had in 91' and 93', and also 90' (basically beating Pistons with nothing except migraine pip)

And MJ is #1 all-time in PER, BPM, WS/48, VORP seasons and PPG (goat stats)... And he has the most rings as the best player in modern era/3-pointer basketball (goat winning)
