@Juhzuu @Chief_ZaZa @HoopMixOnly @BallTalkO a) voter fatigue kept LBJ from winning way more MVPs

b) Gasol has LBJs DPOY trophy. League/media made sure he didn’t have the perfect season

c) MJs scoring stats & accolades are impressive until you factor in shot volume…bro was chucking 200+ more shots than 2nd place each yr

@m10ced @ayden_5_ @ApexJones22 @Delma_331 @emanuelgodina MJ
>>1984: 27-55<< before MJ
1985: 38-44
1986: 30-52

LBJ
>>2003: 17-65<< before LBJ
2004: 35-47
2005: 42-40

- MJ adds 11 Ws from yr prior vs LBJ DOUBLING Ws from yr prior…
- MJ makes playoffs with 2 losing records, LBJ doesn’t make it with a winning record…

Do your homework

@FreeFlowin3 @5ive_7even_ @sumtac72 @psmith89_W @ColbWrld @seviour_nick @GibbyFor6 @floridaboycorey No doubt washed, today in 23. But 17-19 in Philly played more than acceptable ball w an aged&terrible roster + played solid for Indy w only Pittman&JT. Colts had a tough schedule that yr
Playoff teams:
LAR, TEN, SF, TEN, BUF, TB, NE, ARI, LV
4-6 in those games as mostly underdogs

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@BobkaRobbis @BronMuse @KingJames @ESPNNBA Worked bc all he was tasked w/was scoring…
Pip mostly guarded the opps best
Rodman shut down/out reb. most star bigs
Pip-Paxson-Kerr ALL hit big clutch shots, not just MJ
Phil is widely regarded as a top3-5 HC

MJ wasn’t tasked w/half the responsibilities/expectations as Bron

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@tfczdvc @BobkaRobbis @BronMuse @KingJames @ESPNNBA MJ avgd 1.7 3PTfga/gm at .327%, Bron avgs 4.6 3PTfga/gm at .345%

Basically if MJ took MORE 3s per game…his 3PTfg% would likely be even worse than .327%
& that if Bron took LESS 3s per game…his 3PTfg% would likely be higher than .345%

Either way, your statement is false lol

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@BobkaRobbis @BronMuse @KingJames @ESPNNBA When MJ was consistently taking 21-28fga every night to lebrons 16-20fga…
MJ took hundreds more fga than every #2 ppg scorer in his scoring title years lmao

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@ApexJones22 MJ scored 1234p >LBJ on 2154 more fga. Outside of ppg+total p (strictly from fga discrepancy), steals v weak 90s G’s & fts made, LBJ is > in 99% of stats in just his first 15szns. Let alone what he’s done years 16-20

“Levels”

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@Curry4daW @LeSteeler He can…effectively guarded DRose, DWest, TParker in playoffs. It’s just that you’re holding him to the standard(much larger sf, at 38 in 2023)to shut down Steph(much smaller pg)night in & out. He also made Jokic look terrible when he defended him h2h in the WCF

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@Curry4daW @LeSteeler Fact ur holding Bron(6’9 260 sf)to standard of guarding Steph(6’3 190 pg)is amusing. Steph just had to efficiently score to win…Klay guards best G/F & Dray guards any F-C threat (how MJ had Pip/DRod guard top guys)
Bron’s task/standard is do it all
‘13 guards DRose DWest TParker

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@Joeprince05 @LeJesusprophet @dyNASTYchad @shendy456 LBJ has 3-5 series rec v Steph/GS & Duncan/SAS

Bc 7/8 playoff series’ v his top dynasty opps were finals…he gets scrutinized?? MJ barely won gms, let alone series’, v the dynasties he ran into

(91 LAL not a dynasty opp, Kareem gone, Worthy not 100%, Magic retired right after)

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@Joeprince05 @LeJesusprophet @dyNASTYchad @shendy456 You lack logic, rationale, & context lol

MJs dynasty opps
IT/DET: 1-3 series rec, 2chips won (3finals app) while eliminating MJ
Bird/BOS: 0-2 series rec, 1chip won (3finals app) while eliminating MJ
=1-5 series rec v his top opps

—Never won a ring without 32yo-40yo Kareem or 23yo-26yo Worthy; Kareem was retired + Worthy not 100% vs MJ in 91—

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@MJ00909424 @takes1234 @dumlabsKen @Shane00 @mattcosta1234 MJ 1-5 vs dynasty teams

LBJ 3-5 vs dynasty teams
1-2 v Pop-Duncan-Parker-Manu-Kawhi/SAS
2-3 v Curry-Klay-Dray-KD/GS

—MJ v Magic-Worthy/Lakers❌Worthy hurt + Magic retired after; group never won anything w/o Kareem/after 91—

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@dyNASTYchad @shendy456 Delusional
1. MJ doesn’t even take 07 & 18 Cavs teams to the finals, let alone win them
2. Not 14 w/how bad Wade & Bosh played + how historical that Spurs team shot
3. Not 15 w/Kyrie & Love out or 17-18 vs KD Warriors
4. I’ll give MJ 11 but not 16 > 73w warriors, so it evens out

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@JDBrahmabull @shendy456 3. To act like MJ never bitched & complained about calls is comedy
4. Learn your facts, let go of bias (MJ was amazing—doesn’t need your lies to prop him up), & let the bodies of work do the talking. Regardless of your hate for Bron, the top2 spots are Bron-MJ/MJ-Bron

[Patches O’Houlihan @Dodgeball_1]

@JDBrahmabull @shendy456 1. Entering NBA-physical peak…LBJ was 6’9 240-270lb, ran 4.4sec 40yd, w/a 45in vert…you’re dumb
2. LBJ has the most playoff buzzer beaters of all time (yes > than MJ&Kobe) & has been to 10 NBA finals…his 55gm finals avgs are
42.5min 28.4p 10.2r 7.8a 48% 35%-3pt 1.7s .8b
