Also took him a lot more games to even be on Jordans heels for the record.
True. 205 so far vs 179 for MJ. Main reason being MJ didn't get to, or play many games, in the beginning of his career. Had a few first round exits, some second round exits, etc. He also played 3 seasons in Washington, got ousted by Orlando wearing number 45 and his suspension from the NBA for gambling that he spent playing baseball.
So all in all. Hard to blame LeBron for playing more playoff games in one less season.
Jordan isn't even sniffing LeBron's assist and rebound numbers though. LeBron is also the only wing in the top 20 for blocks.
LeBron has a good fucking chance of being in the top 5 all time for points and assists as a small forward. That's regular season. I believe he'll own the points and assists records in the post season.
I also always laugh at the number of games thing. Number of games means the guy is always in the playoffs, playing well and going deep into the rounds does it not? How is that a bad thing lol. Jordan's numbers would've been better if he didn't flounder in the playoffs prior to Pippen's arrival and/or waste those seasons in Washington doing nothing.
Jordan is the GOAT, no argument. 6 for 6 in the Finals? Hard to argue.
LeBron however is right there, right fucking there, lol, and he still has at least a few years left of dominating if I had to guess. While he may never get 3 more rings every single other comparison should end in his favor outside of scoring, and that's only because he doesn't want the scoring titles. If he did he'd have them imo.
