So they give up 130 because of his superior defensive efforts? :-)
Even his biggest ballwashers acknowledge he only plays 1 way to conserve energy for the offensive end.
But let me guess you buy into the "But muy teammates" shit. [Reply]
Great great player that took the path of least resistance to make the finals as much as possible and only played 1 end of the court to pad those numbers got exposed when he moved over to the Varsity league. It's that simple although I'm sure some LWNJs that love his political stances will find some LeExcuses for the guy. [Reply]
The greatest player in basketball history passes the alleged greatest scorer in points in just his age 34 season. He will shatter every record in the books before he's done. This is just the beginning. [Reply]
I think it's a tremendous accomplishment and LeBron may very well pass Kareem, but it's also really weird that people act like Jordan didn't give up 4-5 seasons of his career. If you were being completely conservative, you would still add between 8,000-10,000 career points to Jordan's total. Even with that it took LeBron over 100 more games to reach this total. [Reply]

LeBron reached this point total in 23287 shots, 1250 less shots than it took Jordan. In addition to being better at every single other aspect of basketball, he was also the more efficient scorer to boot.
Also, why would anybody give credit to Jordan for going to play baseball in his relative basketball prime? Can you imagine the reaction if LeBron did something so ridiculous in the middle of his career? [Reply]

Jordan is Jordan.
LeBron is just another pretender.
In five or ten or fifteen years another kid will come along and everyone will anoint him the next Jordan...hopefully he won't try to run the entire team himself. [Reply]
