Jordan has one thing LeBron will never have....

A Killer instinct



If you scored on Jordan in practice he would make it his mission to end your life.

Lebron regularly doesn't hustle back on D and takes plays/games off and only puts it into high gear when he has to



That's my biggest reason I'll never put him in the same argument as Jordan


Where was Jordan's killer instinct the 9 times he didn't even make it to the Finals? Or the 3 times he was swept in the first round?

He was just a dick, and a try hard. That's what people see. He thinks his shit doesn't stink.he was also mentally fragile and the media got to him back then, imagine what it would do to him now...

this

the fact that his 10 part espn bullshit was personal footage he released and got paid out the ass for and it still showed he's a douche should be telling

lebum is literally 10x what jordan could even sniff being

the team everyone acts like he carried got to the ECF when he retired... you take lebron off those early years cavs teams and they are a favorite to win the lottery...

His “killer instinct” was there, he put up 63 points in a playoff game versus Boston. His all-star teammate & #2 option was not. Neither Jordan nor Lebron ever won without an all-star #2 option.

LeBron has been to the Finals numerous times without a second star though.

Jordan has not.

You’re moving the goal posts from winning to getting to the finals. Neither won without an all-star 2nd option.

Tell me about these numerous times Lebron went to the finals without a second star. He did it once in Cleveland.

He did it twice in Cleveland, who was his 2nd star vs gs? When he got swept?

I'm just saying, if Jordan had such a "killer instinct" he would have been able to do what LeBron did which was carry a garbage ass team to the Finals like he did when he was just 21/22 years old.

When Jordan was 21/22 years old he was busy getting swept in the first round back to back seasons.



Whenever LeBron leaves a team, they drop off dramatically. Like when he left the Cavs and everyone realized they are actually a bottom 3 team in the league without him. Yet when Jordan retired from the Bulls for one season, the Bulls went 55-27 and Scottie Pippen finished top 3 in MVP voting.

What’d you mean ? He had Dwade AND Drose ? No, you’re right, I forgot Kyrie wasn’t there that year. That’s my point though, neither won without a 2nd star.

I hear you, I’ve made the “look what the bulls did when Jordan retired” argument on jsp more than literally anybody else.

Young Lebron also wasn’t going up against historically great teams, like the Bad Boy Pistons & Bird’s Celtics haha

Crazy Stats posted this and I thought it was pretty crazy to think about too

There have been 57 NBA Finals games played over the last 10 seasons. LeBron James has played in 51 of the 57 games.
