@NycVipers I’ve never said he’s “never had a bad game”
I *have* said, he’s never been bad for a whole series 🤷‍♂️

2007. 2011. No excuses.

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@NycVipers No one wins alone.
LeBron’s best costar in each Finals Series Win;
2012: D Wade 23, 6, 5
2013: D Wade 19, 4, 4
2016: K Irving 27, 4, 4
2020: A Davis 25, 10, 3

Kobe’s;
Shaq (fair judgment)
38, 16, 2
33, 15, 4
36, 12, 4
Pau
18, 9, 2
18, 11, 3

@thejbratc Nah, just as you do, we look at made shots being a league high.
Of course LeBron took less shots, he’s in the era of the 3 ball.
MJ lead the league by multiple points every season, so of course he’s gonna have more missed shots than the next guy.
It’s the volume that’s impressive

@Shane00 MJ’s 3 motion up and under (over 2 defenders btw)

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@Shane00 Allen straight up did an up and under,
MJ faked up, went all the way to his right, swung it back around and finished on the other side.
Can anyone copy MJ’s move? Absolutely.
I used to practice MJ’s layups because they were fun. It’s the fact he originated it on the spot <-

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@Shane00 Allen’s 2 motion up and under

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@NycVipers Jordan playing at that level on one knee at that age was insane.
LeBron playing at that level with that efficiency at that age is insane.

Appreciate both 👌🏻

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@JuggernautBron I mean, he literally has the most Finals MVPs in NBA history even though it started in the 60s…

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@thejbratc I see what? 2 other people averaging 10+ ppg.
Meanwhile LeBron left Cleveland to join teams with a Top 5 MVP candidate and a 24ppg All Star in Miami along with a list of 5 other guys who put up 10+ ppg…
Without MJ, there wouldn’t have been Pippen. They developed eachother 🤷‍♂️

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@shendy456 You aaaalmost had it.
You yourself said “road” which does NOT mean THE finals. It means the ROAD to THE finals 😂

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@shendy456 MJ shouldn’t have lost from 88-98
That’s 9 MVPs in 13 eligible seasons 🤷‍♂️

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@NycVipers It does when personal performance could have affected 33% of your series losses…

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@ThanosWasRightz @NycVipers Mofo double clutched that second one too 😭 😂

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@Lebronin1 There’s levels to longevity lmao.
LeBron -> greatest in terms of youngest to oldest
MJ -> greatest peak we’ve ever seen in modern basketball

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@34GOTME @LeBronasaurus_ @slicorey Well clearly the way I word things either wasn’t getting across to him, or he’s just ignorant…
I used it merely for a descriptional purpose that happened to pop out a graph that helped me try to convey what I’m trying to say
I didn’t use it as a “proof”
I used it as a translator

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@LeBronasaurus_ @slicorey Not that your gonna care. But I literally just plugged “what’s the difference between” and “compare these two players” into ChatGPT to see what a 3rd unbiased POV would be…
You’re mixing up skill with talent

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@LeBronasaurus_ @slicorey He’s an unbelievable talent. Best talent we’ve ever seen. But that doesn’t equal skill.

Talent → your natural tools and potential
Skill → your learned basketball mastery
Ability → how effective those things make you as a player
Greatness → what you were able to achieve

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@VinnysCorner1 Steph Warriors,
Westbrook OKC

Id say the rest is about right for now, but if Brunson has another deep playoff run - might be time to hang up Ewing

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@LeBronasaurus_ @slicorey It’s skill. We’re not discussing how great they are, we’re discussing how skilled they are.
MJ got a more skilled handle, more skilled finishing, more skilled post game, more skilled shooting…
LeBron is GREAT, but not AS SKILLED as mj imo.
And end of the day, that’s an *opinion*

[EBaillie @EBaillie7]

@LeBronasaurus_ @slicorey Why are you getting so emotional over an opinion?
Also, depends how “skillful” you are at everything.
You can be great at something and still not be as skilled as others…
