Michael Jordan vs Lebron James

[Coronis]

Steals per game are a gambling stat

I’d be surprised to see LeBron ahead in defensive FG% or even shots contested

Still a defensive stat. And what about blocks? No reputable analysts considers James a great defender, because he isn't. But MJ, they do because he is.

Tbf he can possibly be when he tries defensively. But he rarely does.

Yeah he had tried in the past but for the most part, his defensive acumen left a lot to be desired.

Kareem is second after Jordan in my view.

There is an argument to be made for sure.

And the fg% is marginal 50.5% vs 49.7%. Fwiw as a SG MJs fg% is also 50.5%. Then there's free throws and there, it's not close.

What's the TS% comparison? Because that should take into account both MJ's better free-throw and Lebron's greater 3 point shooting. Can do ra adjusted these days as well.

I think Lebron is slightly ahead. And then of course there are the turn overs. Lebron is worse there as well.
