@PaulsGospel1534 @BillSimmons In 2015 or 2016, when they faced each other, was there a question of who was the best player on the floor?

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@TheRealJHair MJ is not going 4–4 with the heat.. You know why.. Bc he can’t play PF. Miami had no size. LeBron was guarding Derrick Rose one series, then guarding David West the next. Then guarding Melo. They were not winning unless they had a Swiss Army knife to fill the gaps on the roster.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@MoryMagisSprts LBJ left Cleveland & they went from 62 wins to losing 26 straight gms & 19 wins. The best player they drafted was Boobie Gibson. MJ’s team drafted 3 all star and HOF players outside of MJ & when he retired in 93, they went from 57 wins to 55 & could’ve won w/o him. This is Fact!

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@Jacobtheclipper Do minutes or shot attempts lead to more scoring? If I shoot 28 fga per game, I should score more than somebody taking 23 fga per game right?

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@TheTruth8240 He was +6 on the game. 2nd highest among starters, shot over 50% from field in game and had one of the key plays by diving on loose ball and had several assists. Sounds like you ignored those facts tho lmao

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@QuincyAvery Travis Kelce is the exception lmaoo

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@LegionHoops The years were MJ took more than three three-pointers were years where they moved the line forward, which meant he was shooting mid range jumpers… LMAO

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@jjmaples55 Kawhi is more explosive today than MJ after the 1996 season. MJ would be great, but he still can’t shoot from the perimeter, and nobody is letting him take 28 shots a game like he did in his scoring prime.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@rolandsmartin @RichPaul4 @maxkellerman Guys play defense. At that time, guys could not shoot from the perimeter. Which means you didn’t have to guard outside of the 3 pt line. So it seemed like they played great defense because if you can’t shoot from the perimeter and the paint is packed, the defense seems better.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@DeeBlockDavo @eskgantt It really was Tajh.. He never played well in that game. If they had Deshaun, they would’ve won a national title with that roster.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@MoryMagisSprts So what you’re saying is, LeBron didn’t lose first round until after he had already played more seasons than Michael Jordan had in his career? LMAO.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@JonKrawczynski True. He also averaged 28 shots per game and 12 fts per game for a season lmao

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@Le_FRAUD23 2011 he should’ve won. 2014, he had absolutely zero chance. He cramped in game 1. They were up 4 with 6 minutes to go and lost the game by 19 with him off the floor… Wade was getting knees drained. Spurs shot 45% 3’s for the series. LeBron avg’d 29 on 59.3% fgs… They lost in 5.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@HassanC2244 @olympicbean Who was finals MVP? But either way, neither is as good as KG or Duncan. And the point is, Lakers beat both of them and lost in 5 to the pistons.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@SportsStatsFan @RicBucher No. If you intended to go to my house & punch me in the face, & instead, you mistakenly punched a robber outside of my house, you saved me from a robbery. So if I say you stopped a robbery, you can say but my intention was to punch you, but I’m only talking about what happened.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@SportsStatsFan @RicBucher I never said what their intentions were. I said zone defense made it harder to score, and that’s why they had the lowest scoring decade ever. I speak on what happened and stats. Not intentions.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@SportsStatsFan @RicBucher There are no lies afterwards. The 90’s had handchecking, illegal defense and no zone. The 2000’s for half the decade had handchecking and zone. And the other half had zone and def 3 seconds and the 2000’s was still the lowest scoring decade. Which proves my point.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@SportsStatsFan @RicBucher I said using the logic that he said about LeBron. Regardless, you brought up illegal defense vs 3 seconds. So that was not a part of the argument. The argument was you can’t look at 40 year old player and then say they couldn’t have done something different in their prime.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@_OfficialProta They missed. D’Angelo over D Book is a miss. BI over Jaylen is a slight miss IMO. Lonzo over JT, Deaaron Fox or Donovan Mitchell is a miss. Randle was a solid pick but obviously you’d take Jokic who went after him in that draft.

[Jared Martin @Jaredman85]

@SportsStatsFan @RicBucher Yes. Now read.. “Using that logic”, the logic that LeBron couldn’t handle handchecking bc of a video of him at 41, I could say MJ couldn’t play vs Zone def bc in his last yr he had 2 pt games vs zone def and never made playoffs in his 2 seasons with zone. What I just said lmao.
