The silly thing here is that people act like Jordan was ancient history. I get that many of y’all weren’t born yet, but Lebron and Jordan played against the same players.

The  nba isn’t that much more insane athletically now than it was back then. There are super athletes such as Westbrook, Lebron, Giannis, but there are also guys like Nikola Jokic who is fat ans insanely skilled.

jordan played a ton of minutes. With the pace and space of today’s nba I think he would average in the high 30s for points.

Jordan is a much better scorer than Lebron. Lebron better passer, rebounder and dribbler. But as an offensive weapon and scoring, Jordan is superior to Lebron.

Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pier, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki all played against Jordan.

Also, Shaq was around. Or maybe some youngins think Shaq would not be as good because he couldn’t shoot 3s and a stretch 5 would take him away from the basket.

It was not as long ago as people think. There was basketball before Lebron.
