He was a MUCH better defender than LeBron has ever shown in his career. He did a great job on Derrick Rose in that series, but he's still not Jordan.
After watching the entirety of both guys' careers, there is no metric that would ever make me choose LeBron over Jordan....
Thats fine.
Then give me the guy that can get to the rim at ease for a high efficient layup/dunk or draw a foul for free throws at will. Not some circus layup. Give me the guy that can bang low if need be, muscle for rebounds and...most importantly...makes the best basketball play more times than not. I dont want your hero ball circus layup against bigs.
Of course...when its Jordan all you guys will take hero ball instead of the best basketball play. Size and strength doesnt matter. You will take the 12-15 foot 2 shot of Jordans over a LeBron layup. Nothing matters when talking about Jordan. But this site talks about the importance of best basketball play all the time and uses numbers/stats to form a strong argument. Efficiency doesnt matter when talking about Jordan.
