MJ and quite honestly this debate is not even close.
Jordan is the better defender. He's got a far more killer instinct.
I saw people the other day bragging about how Lebron has now tied Jordan in 30+ point playoff games....yeah it only took him nearly 60 more playoff games then Jordan to tie him.
Get out of here.
Lebron is all time great. He's amazing. Anyone who won't acknowledge that is simply hating for the sake of hating. But he's not MJ great, especially on the biggest stages in the biggest moments.
The last 3 minutes that MJ played for the Bulls is all the reason I need to say I'd take MJ over Lebron.
MJ willed his team to victory in that game six. He was not going to be denied. I do not have any faith, at all, that Lebron would do the same.
As evidenced the other night. Now I'm not going to crush Lebron on this, because he's a super smart basketball player and he did, by all rights, make what would be considered the 'right' play by passing to Hill and Hill getting the foul shots.
But if you're the man. If you're the guy, in that moment, and you're not driving the lane and being doubled, then you don't pass there. You make a little move, you rise up over defensive nothing Curry, and you hit the game winner in his face.
Lebron passed that up for the 'right' call. MJ hits a jumper in Curry's face and the Bulls go up 1-0.
