Magic and Skip say Jordan would beat Lebron 10 out of 10 one v one

[Segatti]

Who the **** cares about 1v1?

[Doranku]

It would be a stalemate. Whenever LeBron gets the ball, he'd just dribble around forever because he'd never be able to get a high percentage look against MJ's defense to justify jeopardizing his FG%.

[tmacattack33]

Lebron doesn't have better defensive versatility. In MJ's DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD year, he was playing passing lanes, best perimiter man to man defense in the history of the NBA, and could come from the weak side and block the shit outta the ball.

Tell me exactly what Lebron does better than Jordan on the defensive end? He's too big, and doesn't have the foot coordination of a Jordan to be as elite as him, on a 1 on 1 defensive basis.

When Jordan was called upon to assume Lebron's position, ball dominant distributor, he posted up better numbers than Lebron could ever dream of. When Lebron tried to play off ball like MJ, oh wait, he tried that, and it failed miserably. LBJ HAS TO BE BALL DOMINANT in order to be successful. He has no clue what he's doing off the ball, besides an alley oop, here and there.

You just fail.

Yes he does. Defensive versatility = ability to guard multiple positions. Lebron has defended (and has been successful) guarding players from Derrick Rose to Pau Gasol. MJ would not be able to guard Pau Gasol near the basket. GTFOH.

Lebron's defensive versatility is matched by only a few players...Dennis Rodman is one. I can't even think of another. Maybe Pippen.

Didn't Jerry Stackhouse beat MJ 1on1? Lol.

[brandonislegend]

MJ would probably win like 7 times out of 10.

But that obviously has nothing to do with 5 on 5 basketball, where passing, help defense, defensive versatility, and rebounding (there's obviously rebounding in one on one but it's different) come into play.

And passing, help defense, defensive versatility, and rebounding are three areas where Lebron wins over MJ.

Ummm....he gaurded Pau Gasol for like 3 possessions. The ability to guard a player for a few possesions don't necessarily mean you can guard that position.

Tell me when he consistently guards the opposing team's big men. HE HASN'T.

That's the biggest myth that BSPN has put out there.

Yes, technically he can guard all 5 positions, but that doesn't mean he's effective at it.

Magic Johnson played center for a game in the Finals. Does that make him one of the great centers of all time?

Floyd Mayweather can fight the Klitschko brothers, does it mean he'll be effective?

Edit: Rodman and Pippen are MUCH better defenders than Lebron.

Lebron guards 1-4 all the ****ing time. Watch some Heat game dumbass

[TheMan]

Didn't Jordan get his dad killed because of gambling debts?

Didn't Delonte West fckk LBJ's mom?

[Rysio]

i really hate to disagree with magic and skip right here but lebron would quit after the very first game.

[LikeABosh]

Didn't Delonte West fckk LBJ's mom?

Very relevant again.

He guards a SF for the majority of the game, then guards a PG/PF when the defensive rotation calls for it. He doesn't start out guarding the 1-5.

"DUMB ASS"

And please don't give me the "he guards Rose!" BS. He guards him at the very end of games, for like 2 possessions, and the media creams their pants over it.
