What Makes The King Vs Michael Bordan
The Goat v.s The King
There are many good even great players to play the game of basketball such as Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Wilt Chamberlain. There is a bunch of chatter going on around the world debating whether Michael Jordan or Lebron James is better. Many people would say that Lebron James is the best player to play in the NBA to this day. I would have to disagree and say that Michael Jordan is the best player ever.
Michael Jordan statistically beats Lebron in regular season points per game, steals, and turnovers, but Lebron beats him in assists, and rebounds, they are both tied in blocks per game at .8. Through total stats in their whole careers Jordan beats Lebron in points, steals, and blocks. Lebron just tied and passed …show more content…
Many people believe that is the only reason why Jordan is better, but it’s much more than that. Jordan has more game winners which means he is a clutch performer. He has a better go-ahead game winner percentage than Lebron does which means he could win the game for you if your down. But it is not just that MJ won six titles. It is that he went 6–0 in the Finals, whereas LeBron is currently 3–4. Some see this as an argument for Jordan and his postseason clutchness. But it also shows that LeBron has been better at getting to the Finals, whereas Jordan often failed to reach …show more content…
He led the NBA in scoring 10 times, more than anybody, in 15 seasons. The exceptions: his rookie year, the year he got injured, the year he came back from baseball, and his two years with the Wizards. Basically, he led the NBA in scoring for the entirety of his prime, and it was a lengthy prime. Sometimes he did it by astronomical amounts — in 1986–87, he scored 37.1 points per game when nobody else in the NBA cracked 30. He shot a lot, leading the NBA in usage rate eight times, but was remarkably efficient, finishing his career with a .497 field goal percentage. Nobody in the league’s modern era has shot so frequently and so well, James does not compare. He has led the NBA in scoring only once. His career high is 31.4 points per game, which would be MJ’s seventh-best season. Jordan had 39 career 50-point games; James has 10. But James is not all that bad, pulling down a rebound per game more than Jordan, and has had 72 career triple-doubles against Jordan’s 30. LeBron’s lead should expand in the years to come, as James had more triple-doubles this year — 14 — than in any previous season of his
