LeBron James has been statistically outplayed in 30% of playoff series vs just 5% for Michael Jordan. In addition, LeBron was statistically outplayed in 14% of series (8 of 57) by a teammate vs 3% (1 of 37) for Jordan. 1 of the 2 times Jordan was statistically outplayed, he was injured and his minutes were limited but he still had a higher gamescore per minute played than Pippen. It's very common for LeBron fans to use box score stats like pts reb ast to claim LeBron is the goat. The problem with that is it ignores the full box score stats and ignores any stat inflation that is occurring. If you don't adjust stats for an era, the best players ever would all be the top players today. Gamescore is a single value metric that evaluates the box score stats - pts reb ast stl blk tov fouls & shooting efficiency. To handle the stat inflation that has occurred, one method is to compare that player to the other players in that same series. Not only adjust for era stat inflation but it adjust for how that series was played (a slow pace defensive series vs a high pace offensive series). If you're going to use boxscore stats, then very little reason to not accept gamescore. Like all stats, it's not perfect but you will likely not find such a massive gap of 30% vs 5% between two players being compared where the player outplayed in 30% of series is better. No surprise then that Jordan has a higher BPM, ws/48, raptor, etc as well. Jordan's on-off net rating has also been recorded for his full postseason career. MJ has a 18.1 net rating on off. LeBron is 9.3 net rating or 10.5 net rating through age 35, the same age as Jordan in his last postseason.

LeBron was so bad in 2015 that he shot 39%ft 46%ts but Bronstans think that’s a great series! Low expectations!

LeDummy claims 37yr old Duncan that hasn’t made first team in 7yrs was at his peak playing like a top 10 all time player 😂

Yeah, so you’re saying Duncan at age 37 and not making first team in previous 6 seasons was in his heart of his prime? So if he made it at age 40, you would say “it’s still peak Duncan!” Nothing dumber a a Bronstan suggesting 37yr old Duncan was peak Duncan

Game 3 and Game 4 are the most watched game 3 and 4 since 1998. Jordan was in the 4 most watched. He was also in 5 of the top 6 and 6 of the top 9 most watched finals of all time

OG Anunoby reaction in the postgame interview when asked about how he felt after hitting the game winner: 🥱💤😴🫩

A bit flawed data if this is on the floor net rating since the whole team crumbles and game 4 is the big impact here but conclusion is correct, IMO. A 7'4 center playing on the perimeter AND protecting the rim is just going to tire out MUCH sooner than other players. Spurs need to keep him under 36minutes each game. Game 1-3, the impact seems likely only on defense as he's slower to rotate. Game 4, the defense AND offense came crumbling down and he was struggling to move from exhaustion.

Nothing dumber than a Bron fan who claims Bron is more clutch than Jordan by using ONE specific shot (buzzer beater) and only makes not %. They actually have the same fg% on buzzer beaters but MJ clears Jordan on fg% of other other shots while being far better in the final 5 minutes clutch time

Tom Brady since it wasn't against an injured team. Curry had his worst postseason & worst series in the finals. Bogut missed final 2-3 games. Draymond missed one 1 game.

LeBron fans that claims Bron is the goat uses all-nba and all-def teams to indicate who is a better player. Once again, their own argument proves MJ better han LeBron Jordan has more first teams all-NBA & all-Def teams combined than LeBron. Jordan: 19 LeBron: 18

Damn!!! 😂😂 He cost them a decent chance at the title. Maybe the odds for Spurs to Ei would have been 55% if Spurs won game 4 to 15% if Spurs lost Win: 2-2 with 2/3 of games at home Loses 1-3 and momentum for NYK

Early 90’s Cavs sent in a player ONLY to hurt Michael Jordan then took him out after he swung at MJ so Bulls couldn’t retaliate. Was kept out until it was a blowout in next game & Stacy King (RIP) got revenge w/ a hard foul. The enforcer 🎥@reesetheone1

LeBronstans trying to downplay Wemby's 2026 finals but they ignore LeBron in 2007 finals played much worse. And he also played much worse in the 2011 finals.

Typical Bron fan (Kawhi_ring). He criticizes Giannis 2021 postseason by saying Giannis doesn't win the title if Kyrie doesn't get hurt in BRK and Trae doesn't get hurt in ATL yet he will refuse to use the same logic for Bron's 2016 finals vs injured Curry and 2020 finals where MIA had 2 of their top 3 miss all or parts of 8 games. Then he claims he tried to have a normal conversation after I caught him with his hypocritical application of his logic.

When a LeBronstan makes a 'goat case' for LeBron, it's always full of the dumbest arguments. All of these are career stats yet they would not put Karl Malone and Stockton top 5ish despite having top 5ish career stats. Most importantly, many of these are stupid. 1. Most playoff games won: wouldn't titles matter more? At least use win%. Would you rather have 100 wins 0 titles or 90 wins 3 titles? 2. Most buzzer beating playoff game winner: LeBron has the most such attempts as well. Why not use % of those shots? Even better, why only use shots with 0 seconds left and ignore all other shots to tie or win the game?

I didn’t realize Scott Kacsmar was extremely ignorant with odds and dishonest LeBron had odds for more titles using pre playoff (and preseason) odds and similar expected titles using finals odds How are u this stupid with math & how u this dishonest to only use the finals?

“Sports writer” @ScottKacsmar has a bio that says he likes stats yet he proved he is stupid with math & he’s dishonest 1. Odds show using preplayoff & preseason odds, LeBron had more expected titles than Jordan 2. Pre finals odds have them w/ similar expected titles 3. Yet Jordan won 2 more titles The dishonest part is he only looked at finals odds knowing LeBron had a cakewalk in the east and he lost 4x as a favorite with home court! MJ never lost with home court

This Bronstan can’t give Michael Jordan credit so he starts in 1999 with “best player in playoffs” 😂😂 BTW, Jordan was statistically the best in almost every postseason but if you consider deeper runs in the postseason (his list isn’t just those that went to the finals), Jordan was the best playoff performer: 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998

Tony Parker in 2007 finals was on fire 24.5pts 3.3ast 57%fg 60%TS. Duncan played terrible on offense as the CAVs had a really good defense for bigs. Manu was the best offensive player on the 07 team but Parker would be the only one of the big 3 to have a good offensive series Duncan: 18.3pts 3.8ast 44.6%fg 48.3%TS Manu: 17.8pts 2.5ast 36.7%fg 57.1%ts x.com/pitlessball/status/206…
