Michael Jordan or Lebron James? (1 Viewer)

[fantasycurse42]

Another year in the books (almost).

I find it interesting looking back at all the comments, including my own. I officially have Lebron at number 2, and I won't laugh at the arguments that make a case for him as GOAT anymore. He is a beast, and after years and years of hating, I've come around - I can't deny him for being the top talent he is, and I don't know how anyone else could either.

Like I said, I still have Jordan as 1, Jordan just had it, you had no questions he was going to win no matter what and couldn't be stopped (essentially for that 6 peat, excluding the season & a half embarrassing himself on the baseball field). 

If I'm picking a team using every player in the history of basketball, Jordan is still 1.1 for me. Lebron would most likely be 1.2 over Magic for me at this point.

It's really that a coach finally realized "Steph, you're hitting 3's at a rate equivalent to hitting 2's at 67%...maybe we should give you more 3 point opportunities".

Coaches in general have never been very good at math.

This.  As a Knicks fan, oh, do I know.  

BTW, I don't at all hold this years' finals against Lebron.  He was a beast to get that crapload of a team to that spot.  But while he was "moping" after regulation in game one, Jordan was in some parallel universe nailing another dagger and nail in the coffin, because he simply refused to lose.  I barely remember the term "being in the zone" until Jordan.  He was in that zone seemingly for the length of his career - at least his peak.  And when he was in that zone, he was unstoppable.  

Still hurts.

You seem like you have great basketball knowledge.  You should post here more often.
