Today's Lebron is just as good as '93 Jordan

'93 MJ was perhaps the most underrated MJ season. To me, it was probably his best year in terms the balance between the skillset of 2nd three peat and athleticism of 1st threepeat MJ. The guy averaged 40+ ppg in the finals. He averaged 33/7/6/3 STEALS in the RS. This year's Lebron isn't even the best he's ever been.

That's the same case with Lebron.

Lebron also average roughly the same in the RS. A bit Less points but much much higher efficiency.

Regarding the finals, don't forget MJ played 46 MPG in a higher pace and it's against Phoenix. They score a lot but allowed a lot of points (kinda like Nash's Phoenix).

5.5 ppg in a 82 game season = "a bit less points".

what a chucker

[Kvnzhangyay]

5.5 ppg in a 82 game season = "a bit less points".

The NBA also has a considerably lower pace now

It is when you factor in pace and minutes.

Lebron's own fans criticize how weak-minded he is and how he abandons his jumper. They get exasperated with his tendencies to be unaggressive. Defensively he's been sub-par all season as well. How can anyone say he's even close to Jordan? It's just a weak era.

now adjust for pace

'93 Bulls Pace: 92.5 (last in the league)

'14 Heat Pace: 91.2 (27th/30)

Jordan played in a weak era when the 2nd best perimeter player of that time was in his own team. He had no competition. He had the most stacked team by far and refs in his pocked. OVERRATED!

Pippen put up 17/7/6 on 47% FG, he was far from the 2nd best perimeter player in the league. And this era is FAR weaker than the early 90s NBA, especially when it comes to perimeter play. As for having the refs in his 'pocked':

Bron FTr in '14: .432
MJ FTr in '93: .284

[oh the horror]

And yet we are all watching the same historically lame eastern conference playoffs where it's so bad the league is literally considering changing the playoff format to make it interesting.


Okay.



Look, you dudes here can keep posting nonsense and rewritting the narrative to suit whatever BS you happen to be kicking this week or next week but this has been entirely underwhelming. Especially this year. It's been downright awful.



If the 90s were a weak era then surely this season is right there for the eastern conference.

You say this, but act like the East in Jordan's era wasn't responsible for 30 win teams making playoffs.

ETHER

[Warfan]

Scottie was far from the 2nd best perimeter play in the 90s

Id love to hear all the names that make him far from the 2nd best perimeter player when the Bulls were winning chips and when jordan 1st retired

[crawdaddy4ou]

OP must be young because no it isn't even close.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

only delusional people would still deny lebron being as good as jordan

[SHAQisGOAT]

Not saying it ain't close but no, not really.. People overreact way too much though
