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.
The reason Lebron gets so many layups is that the nba is not as physical and the defenses are a lot worse. Jordan was automatic with his post up fadeaway. Lebron is not automatic in the way. He gets his points but Jordan was a sure thing especially in the clutch. Lets put it this way, scoring 30ppg when scores are under 90 points per game is huge compared to 30ppg when scores are over 110ppg. And the defense cannot be compared, Jordan was otherworldly on defense, while Lebron is good he cannot dominate in that way.
