An uncontroversial argument that puts LeBron above Michael Jordan
He was part of that most exclusive club for a while, but history may have reserved it. lebron james It’s the perfect place for a passionate and increasingly heated debate about the greatest player of all time and who can tell the longest winning story on the court. For (successful) longevity and consistency, LeBron passed. Michael Jordan. And as things stand, the gap continues to grow.
Just another paradigm’s absolute scoring record of an extensive and illustrious career was destroyed. kareem abdul jabbar A few months ago, in February, LeBron James just reached a new climax in his impressive longevity. nba cup And that MVP This made him the oldest player to win the Most Valuable Player Award.
while we are together 39 years James recently blew out the candle on Dec. 30, and Jordan is playing his penultimate NBA season with the Wizards after retiring for the second time and still has some notable numbers. But it was already showing his decline, LeBron –21 years Already in MJ’s 15 years in the best league in the world, he can still show off his prime and win. MVP.
The critics of King They would answer that the Cup was in its infancy and was a short tournament.but Strength It’s proportionate to its brevity, and therein lies much of the benefit of the Lakers’ “23,” the high pace sustained during the final weeks that saw them survive the fierce competitiveness that marked this first Cup. I was able to do that.LeBron’s incredible sprint in the tournament, he can still do the same transitionreflected in the extraordinary numbers befitting a star at the height of his powers. 28.3 points, 8 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 2.3 steals, 57% field goal percentage, 66% triple percentage. But the crucial difference was that he did it when he was almost 39 years old.
In my imagination, the image of LeBron from the Heat remains in his prime. Kingthe Akron star has left constant evidence that that hungry, disruptive player still exists within him, and it’s very much beyond his age and need to administer himself. Project him only at selected moments.
He still has that desire, but the urge to win is no longer there, and this experience has allowed him to dig deeper into what is already inside him. Innate understanding of games To understand how I can improve my shooting efficiency and make my teammates better. But, as more or less expressed, this number shows no signs of decline, unlike Jordan in his later years.
LeBron’s average moments this regular season 25 points, Although he scored fewer points than last year -29-, he showed smart efficiency and shot the best percentage of his career, hitting 62.6% on shots and 40% on triples, especially on the perimeter from last season. Improved 32% from the meter. In any case, those 25 points are what he averaged eight years ago (2016) during his ring season with the Cavaliers. And those are not far off his 27 years in Miami with his two titles (2012 and his 2013).
number of King For the past two years, they have had nothing to do with the following people. Michael Jordan In his last two seasons, black jesus While he’s coming out of retirement for a second time and trying to turn the team he owned at the time into a competitive one, Bron is part of a team like the Lakers that is ready to step into the ring.
when lebron signed 29 points, Jordan averaged 8.3 rebounds, 7 assists, TC completion rate of 55%, 32% last year, and 25 points this year, 7.5 catches, 6.6 basket passes, 62.6% shooting percentage, and 40% triple completion rate. 23 pointsIn the 2001-2002 season, he recorded 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, a field goal percentage of 41.6%, and a triple percentage of 19%. 20 pointsIn his final season in 2002-2003, he recorded six sacks, four basket passes, a shooting percentage of 44.5%, and a triple percentage of 29%.

MJ has averaged 20 shot attempts over the past two years, almost twice as many as LeBron, but sometimes efficiency is more beneficial than quantity. Jordan averaged 37 points in his best year in this regard (1987), while James averaged 30 points (2008), moving further away from his best scoring numbers. The veteran’s numbers are much lower than James’ scoring average. King, low score number But more regularly.
But to add further benefit to his longevity, LeBron boasts greater consistency versus Michael Jordan, not only by maintaining his level, but by now maintaining it as well. . With 40 gates, However, in the NBA for over 20 years, the only person who has been able to do it longer against teams is 15 years MJ had two withdrawals before the third and final one. The first, in 1993, was likely due to a larger purpose after her father was murdered and a desire to honor him by becoming an athlete; Professional baseball-, the second -1999- was due to a pure loss of desire to compete after the departure of “23”. phil jackson of the Bulls. That’s also a characteristic of LeBron, who always has a desire to win no matter the situation.

Besides the combination of consistency and longevity, there are many other arguments involved in the definition. goat However, the discussion is never-ending due to its many readings.Until Michael Jordan wins 6 rings He didn’t lose in the finals and didn’t need seven games to build a dynasty compared to LeBron’s four and six losses in the finals, but LeBron can still improve his record. MJ won everything with the Bulls, but as others will say, King I was able to level the champions. 3 different teams – Heat, Cavaliers, Lakers – and many more series with the title on the line, playing up to nine in a row.
Until Jordan wins 10 times title of Top scorer just one season King (2008), but LeBron’s supporters would say that the Lakers’ “23” is the all-time leading scorer and more complete, but as proof of that, the privilege of reading a game with his title is top assistant In 2020, he became the 4th all-time basketball passer.
he black jesus He averaged 30 points in his career in the regular season compared to LeBron’s 27 points, but others will say: King He recorded more assists (7.3 – 5.3) and rebounds (7.5 – 6.2), and most importantly, he more efficient According to Basketball Reference data, he made both 2-point shots (55% – 51%) and triples (34.6% – 32.7%). Although Jordan took more 3-pointers, he also took more 2-pointers (21) than LeBron (15), which could explain why he was less efficient. King Also higher (4.6) than MJ (1.7). And a similar comparison is made for all playoff stats. air Outperformed Bron in points (33-28).
Michael Jordan beat LeBron James for the individual award. Regular season MVP (5-4), same as the final (6-4). However, as if to refute the argument that Jordan’s highest score in his best season was 37 out of 30, LeBron’s supporters said, King At best – they will say that “Bron” has been competing in an increasingly even and international NBA. Jordan accomplished it in a tougher NBA, with more contact and less space, but without the rules. 3 seconds.
Moreover, there are many points and arguments to discuss.But LeBron James has it. eternal youth It has no end in sight, and such a perfect pact with the devil allows him to return to his younger days as Bronn with years of wisdom and experience.
next door now HollywoodWith thousands of roles on the court, LeBron is also the one who stars, directs, and edits his own movies, travels through his own life, chooses which LeBron he wants to be, and returns all the way to the Cup. From 2013 To win the overall tournament MVP again. In terms of consistency and longevity alone, the King has already surpassed Michael Jordan, and even MJ has already lost sight of him in LeBron’s march that won’t stop until he plays alongside his son and continues to fuel the never-ending debate. ing. Which “23” is better?

PLEKHANOV: “There are also a few points I would like to point out”
Head coach of “Kharkov Falcons” Valery Plekhanov He summarized the team’s 2025 results and talked about the preparations for the continuation of the season:
“Summing up the results of the calendar year, I want to congratulate all our fans on the upcoming New Year and Merry Christmas, wish our favorite team peace and good victories! “Kharkov Falcons” are the first players of this Super League season, so second place at the moment is a good result.
There are a few points we would like to emphasize separately. First of all, seven players from last season’s active squad won the Premier League together, but five of them never played in the Super League. Therefore, the experience they gained in the first half of this season is almost priceless. Secondly, Kharkiv Falcons are one of the two champion teams that did not play a single match at home. It’s very difficult when you’re not playing for your fans, you’re training in one gym, and you’re playing in a different gym every time, even on home tours. In these conditions, 4 defeats in 13 matches is a good result.
One of the most negative moments of this year was not being able to participate in the last four of the Ukrainian Cup. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky in the draw. After an emotionally difficult and physically exhausting match with Krivbass, we did not have enough strength for the next match against Kiev-Basket in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, our performances in the cup are over, but now we will be able to focus all our efforts on the championship.
Our main problem now is injuries. We have five injured players, three of whom have serious injuries that require a long recovery period. We’re about to get off to a very tough start to the new calendar season because the Falcons will be playing basketball six weekends in a row, which means six road trips with no rest time. If we could count on all twelve players in the squad at the beginning of the season, there will no longer be such a rotation. Therefore, all the responsibility and burden will fall on the players in the rankings. I hope they get over their injuries in the new year, recover from their injuries as soon as possible, return to work and help their beloved club properly represent Kharkiv in the Super League.
Despite the holidays, we have training scheduled almost seven days a week. “I really hope that by January 10 we will be a combat-ready team that can solve serious problems.”
