Lebron passes MJ again

Blueto

Jan 3, 10:55pm

Only took 450 more games. Good for him I guess.

ManicBlue

MJ had 570 games with 23+ shots. LBJ only has 396.

Blueto

Jan 3, 10:58pm

23 is a very specific choice

He's great at picking very specific stats to somehow justify his views (and glorify his heros).

How bout this: LeBron has a higher career fg% against better comp

Why would you think lebron is playing against better competition? Highly doubt that.

Are you serious? Have you watched 90s basketball?

775coug

I think he meant to say that Lebron has played against much softer defenses.

Japan Coug

Jan 4, 1:10am

Hahaha. Lebron would average 50+ a game with the “illegal defense” rule

Not with his skill set. Now if you’re saying he wouldn’t have developed

We get it lebron fanboy.

I love ad hominems

775coug

I disagree. He would have gotten hammered in the Jordan era. The rules allowed

Japan Coug

Hammered by who? You cant hammer somebody if youre too slow to get a hand on him

How old are you?

Japan Coug

I have nothing to do with MJ or Lebron

775coug

Jan 4, 1:38am

He played in the worst of the dead ball era! Many put 04-05 or 06-07 as the most

Jan 4, 9:26am

Did lebron ever score that much?

NYCougz

Jan 4, 5:13pm

Agree that his first few years were during that era. But most of his career has

That "skill set" that is barely able to drive to the bucket without traveling?

Avg score for an NBA team in the 1990s: 101 pts/game. Avg score in 2020s: 112.6.

Well of course. They can hit shots that the players couldn’t hit before.

775coug

Jan 4, 1:21am

Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Jeff Hornacek, Glen Rice, Tim Hardaway, Joe Dumars

Japan Coug

Jan 4, 1:29am

Only because the 3pt line rewards longer shots.

Les IsMore

Jan 4, 1:31am

Show me step back threes from all of those guys

775coug

Jan 4, 1:45am

Do you know who they are?

Japan Coug

Jan 4, 1:53am

Why are you changing the subject?

775coug

Jan 4, 1:54am

Does LBJ have a ton of 22 shot games? Nice cherry pick

OKchief

Jan 4, 12:28am

No but he does have a bunch of triple doubles. You dont have to cherry pick

stansburycoug

Jan 4, 12:37am

As someone already said, it would be less painful if LBJ was better than MJ as a

OKchief

Jan 4, 12:51am

I watched both and wasnt young when MJ played Lebron is actually very on par

This is tearing the board apart. 😁

Jan 3, 10:59pm

Scoring 30 now seems to be easier now than it was then.

NYCougz

Jan 3, 11:01pm

Yes considering they don't play much defense in the NBA anymore.

SoValleyCOUG

Jan 3, 11:07pm

The game is built on offense with incredible spacing and less grabbing.

NYCougz

Jan 3, 11:16pm

It's turned into a 3 point match and dunks.

SoValleyCOUG

Jan 4, 9:28am

Yep the mid range is gone. Shooters all over the floor to create spacing.

NYCougz

Jan 4, 7:23pm

Yet...

Jan 3, 11:09pm

Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson too

Approaching a decade more seasons. That stat is really not that impressive, but
