MJ was a decent defender for his era, but he may be the most overrated defender of all time
I'd take Luka over MJ as a defender. And I'm 100% serious. No troll, no rage bait
LeBron "couldn't handle the west"
But from ages 35-41
1 Championship (16-5 run)
1 NBA Cup
MVP in both
2nd in MVP
8x All Star
7 All NBA
5 50 win seasons
7 playoff series won (more than Steph, Shai, Luka or Ant in that period)
LeBron’s 8 years in Los Angeles:
👑 NBA Championship
👑 NBA Finals MVP
👑 NBA Cup Championship
👑 NBA Cup MVP
👑 8x All-Star
👑 7x AIl-NBA
👑 2020 Assists Leader
👑 Became All-Time Leading Scorer
👑 2nd in 3PM
👑 2nd in TDs
👑 4th in DDs
👑 5th in AST
👑 10th in PTS
👑 10th in FGM
👑 13th in FTM
👑 13th in STL
👑 17th in REB
👑 18th in BLK
He’s getting a statue.
I am not even exaggerating. Jordan is the most overrated defender in the NBA history. They ran the most elaborate propaganda scheme in marketing and made 2 generations believe that this brother was a good defender. At best he was an average defender. Watch the full games people.
Everything in the Jordan story gets an overwhelmingly positive spin.
Everything in the LeBron story gets diminished, discredited or framed negatively.
Jordan’s adversity gets magnified. LeBron’s gets minimized.
That double standard is the foundation of this manufactured debate
There was 12 NBA games on last night and all the timeline is are 3 LeBron lowlights from last night 😂
There will never be another face of the league with this motion man, even his biggest haters will miss him 😭
After last night, Year 24 LeBron is now holding opponents to 26.5% FG.
They’re shooting 13/49 when guarded by him.
That ranks NUMBER 1 in the entire NBA. 🔒
