Really?! Jordan @ 52 can beat LeBron?!

[Go figure]

Our memories usually exaggerate the actual experience positive or negative

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

If they played today to 10pts, what would the score be? Idgaf I think Mike could make it interesting. Might have 5lbs of ice on both knees afterward though. Lol

 

[So ILL]

Nah, but Mike at 30 would eat LeBron alive at the same age.

Even this is overstating it. People say this like LeBron is some random bench player. Like he doesn't know how to play defense or something. Jordan did miss shots and had defenders who could make him work. Especially defenders that were bigger than him

I said that because Mike would wear him down mentally. LeBron be acting kind if bitch-made at times, I think Mike would take advantage of that and go in. LeBron isn't a scrub by any means, though. But look at how Mike played in '93 when he was 30, that nigga was not going!

 

[Like Water]

Another reason Jordan was as good as he was is due to Phil's coaching. I really don't remember Jordan having nearly as many iso plays run for him. That triangle had him coming off screens, catching the ball at the elbow, instead of at the top of the key, all types of stuff that LeBron's coaches never have thought to utilize. He's just now getting himself in the post! As big and athletic as Bron is, he shoulda been on some baby Olajuwon shit since the beginning.

Bron's coaches have been Brown, Spoelstra and Blatt. I don't think that aspect of Jordan's game gets its respect. Imagine if LeBron had Phil, or Larry Brown, or Pop -- he'd be even better than what he is now.

You dumb niggas kill me with this mentality weak shit

Something yall know nothing about.

I guess MJ mentally weak to because of all that crying he did to the media about hard fouls and shit.

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

SMH @ this.

Even the Wizards version of MJ isn't touching Lebron, let alone MJ at 52.

Niggas need to let this shit go and stop trolling.

Niggas talk about LeBron crying over fouls blatantly forgetting MJ telling the media outright that he thought the Pistons were dirty players and hit him too hard lol.

Nigga, the Pistons were as close to dirty as you could get back then in a way more physical league, and were putting him on his ass whenever he came into the lane, you've never heard of the Jordan Rules? And all he did was man-up and get into the weight room and prepare for that to become a monster in the 90's. He even said it himself that they beat his ass and it made him tough.

Nobody was denying that. Who wouldn't openly complain about getting tackled in mid-air while trying to go to the cup? The league was all kinds of physical in the 80s and 90s. If LeBron is complaining about the contact that he gets now, he would have been in tears after getting punked by somebody's front line back then. There's a reason why there were so many good shooters then lol.

Thats a weak argument tho. If the game was as physical now as it was then (league changed that not the players), then the players would be prepared for it and play accordingly. If they know a flop will send em to the line theyll take advantage usually, otherwise they would play thru it.

Its not any of the players fault the league changed the game around.

Lbj is bigger than mj and still very athletic, he wouldve been fine back then.

Everybody talking about Lebron is bigger than Jordan as if Jordan wasn't bodying, dunking, and beating up on bigger players than Lebron. Foh. Prime MJ would treat Lebron like he treated everyone else. But a 52 year old Jordan beat Lebron? You a hating ass fuck nigga for believing in that.

 

[EmM HoLLa.]

Lebron can't guard Melo now.. So how we expect him to guard Mike in his Prime at 30?.. Hell no..

As far as him beating Mike at 52. I mean that obvious.. Mike is damn near a grandfather.. lol..

 

[R0mp]

Mindblown that ppl are seriously debating this.

Shit's hilarious.

I'm mad at myself for even clicking this thread

Thing is though you can't acknowledge how good LeBron is and then say Jordan would have treated him like everyone else because contrary to belief Jordan didn't simply shoot 100% every night and did admittedly have to work his ass off to score on certain players.

Not weak, but clearly emotionally vulnerable in a sport heavily infused with masculinity. Some things go without saying.

Please don't pretend as if that picture isn't ridiculous.
