Better Defender - Lebron or Jordan.

[Magic Boo]

Lebron is the most overrated defender of all time ... even in his era, there are plenty of guys better than him. Kawhi, Iggy, PG, Tony Allen, Jimmy... Heck, in their first two years with the big three you could argue that wade was a better/more important defender than lebron.

Lebron is/was the better defender. And everyone criticizing Lebron for coasting and playing passing lanes ... so did MJ.

I have never been impressed with Lebrons defense, say what you will about the slower unathletic SGs and handchecking, but Jordan could shut guys down anytime he felt like it for quarters and entire games. I have never really seen Lebron shut anybody down for more then a handful of possessions.

I'm LeBron fan, but Jordan is way better defender than LeBron. LeBron is good, but not great defender.

btw, he had same really impressive defense moments.

Probably MJ but Lebron is not that far behind when he is dialed up, which admittedly happens less frequently than it dig for MJ.

Yes, guys who were slower, weaker and smaller than him. Athletic guys with poor handles like Clyde Drexler constantly scores on Jordan and so did Penny Hardaway. In fact, I watch Jordan struggle to defend Drexler in both their primes.

MJ can't shut down all 5 positions like Lebron.

Oh you mean the 19 year old Lebron that was second in the league in steals and WAAAAAAAY better as a 19 year old than Jordan.

WAAAAAAAY better than 19-year old Jordan? The guy who made the game winning shot to win an NCAA championship? Yeah right.
