    I wish fans would actually study the game. Go back to Wilt and Russell. So many people don't realize MJ was a stone cold shooter too. 38.5% from 3 in his fist 3 peat. Hell, he still has a higher 3 pt playoff percentage than Bird, Kobe, and Lebron. Best shot blocking 2 guard ever, 3rd best rebounding 2 guard ever, the man did it all. And he did it in a time period where there were more great centers than any other time period, and you actually had to play defense to win.

      Lebron through 13 years in the playoffs averaged 33.2 percent on 3 pointers, this is the same as Jordan’s full career in the playoffs. Jordan took 446 3 pointers in his playoff career, 13 years in the playoffs lebron took over 670 more 3 pointers at the 13 year mark in the playoffs than jordan did and still maintained the same percentage. For those that don’t want to or cant do the math in their head this is equivalent to 1,116 3 pointers attempted in a 13 year playoff career. Clearly lebron is a better 3 point shooter. This argument is for those that would make the argument that jordan was a better 3 point shooter simply because lebron‘s 3 point percentage is lower in the playoffs. If you took the 2019-20 playoffs and 2021 playoff average he would’ve averaged 33.7 percent. His percentage dropped below Jordan’s however because in the 2023 playoffs he took 106 3 pointers but only made 28. Leaving his percentage .01 lower than Jordan’s while taking over 943 more 3 pointers in the playoffs for his full playoff career. For the majority of lebron’s career, he took more 3 pointers but also made more and did it at a better percentage than jordan did. Jordan is not a better 3 point shooter than lebron. He shot way less 3 pointers, and shot at a shortened 3 point line for 3 years. Try again.

However going on a stretch of 626 games without ever losing more than 2 games in a row in the process winning 6 titles in 8 years does.

    I watched his whole career. Any one that thinks MJ couldnt play PG is delusional. If he needed to be THAT guy, he wouldve been that guy. But they built around his other skills. He was a killer. He wanted to receive passes, not make them. But just getting his teammates into the game, you can see those passes are from the guy with the best vision on the court. Add in his legendary will, athleticism and talent, and you realize the doubters just cant extrapolate.

    Honestly, MJ should have stayed as a PG. He would have been the greatest PG ever; the best 2 way player ever offensive, monster and defensive nightmare and all that shit about him not being able to pass would have never been a thing. What would it be then? Oh.. the infamous 3 points, that he was a bad 3pt shooter, nah, he wasn't.
    Anyway MJ is the GOAT. MJ WAS the NBA and he is the best player to ever grace the game. To me LB ain't a top 5 player, let's be real, he ain't better than Magic at PG and he can't hold a candle to Bird at the SF position. Then we still have Kareem, Russel, Duncan, Kobe and Shaq. So, if anything, LB is lucky to be in the top 10.

    You don't have to be PG to pass. The key has always been look for the open player or player with a better shot.

But it also known that Jordan took a while to trust his own team mates shooting the ball.

    The problem with Michael Jordan is not that he lacked any ability it's that he chose to play a selfish style of basketball. That matters. Michael Jordan was criticized early in his career for being the league leading scorer. He was told that the league leading scorer would never win the championship. He wanted to prove that he could win the championship while being the league leading scorer. When he was switched to point guard he was better,and the team was better, but he got that coach FIRED because he was no longer leading the league in scoring. The next coach had to dust off a college offense from the 1950s just so that the other players would get to touch the ball. Sorry, but tie goes to the player who passes the ball, when that was the right basketball play, and didn't need a genius coach to win.

    I've always thought MJ and Lebron could play like each other...Lebron could score more if he set his mind to it, and MJ could (and did) assist more if he needed to....it all comes down to which style was more successfully and that obviously goes to MJ......not a knock on Lebron but he's boring to watch (almost like Tim Duncan...fantastic player/scorer, but boring to watch)...MJ (like Magic/Bird) was exciting to watch AND won

      @paulusrumanouw3176 there are only 82 games in an NBA season every year unless there are unforeseen circumstances that causes the season to be shortened. The majority of teams that have been to the finals in the modern era have won 50 or 60 games. And there have only been two teams in nba history that have won 70 or more games. So jordan facing more 50 or 60 win teams or teams averaging a similar amount of wins shouldn’t be a surprise or a groundbreaking discovery. Teams aren’t breaking records every year. And excluding lockout seasons the 2021 bucks and the 95 rockets since the 80s every nba team that has won the nba championship has won 50 or more games. Plus this argument is only used so that Jordan’s competition doesn’t actually have to be broken down. Which makes this argument a logical fallacy.

    And just like westbrook and harden, nobody got to touch the ball on offense accept to shoot. There's a reason no coach ever wanted him at point. You can't win that way. I can't defend james because he plays the same (accept in miami) but when magic was at point he averaged 12 assists. But cooper also got 5, worthy and Scott 4. The ball was shared.

      There was a lot of offense going around in those days too. Lol.
      But I have to disagree with you.
      In 1983-84, Magic averaged 13.1 apg and cooper 5.9apg. They were the only 2 players to average over 3 assists per game. The team overall averaged 29.9apg.
      In 1988-89, MJ averaged 8.0apg. Vincent average 4.8, paxson 3.9, and pippen 3.5. 4 guys averaged 3.5apg that season. The team overall averaged 27.0apg.
      So that shows you are not correct. The bulls shared the ball more than the lakers did even though MJ was playing point. It clearly shows that players other than MJ touched the ball.
      Also cooper came off the bench that season. So there is a high chance that most of his assists came with magic off the floor.

      I didn’t cherry pick. I picked the season where cooper had career high assists. You cited seasons where magic had 12+ assists and copper had 5+. So I went by your criteria. The other seasons where cooper averaged 5+ were the same as that one.
      The point still remains that the year MJ averaged 8.0apg, other players averaged 3+ apg as well, 3 of them and Hodges was at 2.8. Which is equivalent to what the lakers were doing. So it was not MJ getting all the assists. I showed you that other players touched the ball as well. Even when MJ was the PG, other players got 5+ assists in those games as well. Some got as many as 8 on the same day MJ had 10.
      “Why was MJ not put back at point?”
      Because Jackson took over the next season and didn’t want MJ to do so. As you said, they would not be able to win that way. But also the triangle wouldn’t work with MJ playing that way. I don’t disagree with you on that point. And even after that, MJ still averaged 5.5+apg for the next 4 seasons.
      The funny part is MJ accepted the change
      and won as a result. Lebron, however…
      Anyway the main point I proved is that MJ was not the only bull in 1988-89 who got touches and spread the ball around just as much as the lakers did.

Early in Jordan's career, Cap would have had issues with not getting the ball enough. One of them would have to be traded. I do think the pistons win more with him, the team was constructed differently. Though that team was predicated on ball sharing as well. Thomas has spoken of how his stat's going down helped the team win.
