That'd be 05 Bron not 2015 Bron. Way different players. So that's foolish.

Bridges is an idiot.

MJ in the '86 playoffs was 23.5 yrs old, entering his athletic prime.

LBJ was 23.5 yrs old in the '08 Playoffs, already an MVP, made the Finals with gargabe and probably the best player in the league.

At least they were in a similar level at the same age, tho i would say Lebron was better.

Let’s be honest with ourself. Players are 1000000 times more skilled today. Lebron would average 45 ppg easily be the Celtics. Someone post that Jordan 90s defense video lmao

Were you asleep for the entire finals? Mikal Bridges starts for the Suns, ya know, the team you just faced in the finals.

If they played today's soft NBA rules then yes. If they played 80's rules then Lebron would be crying after the first quarter.

60% of the players today can’t even make a mid range jumper… and 85% of the league couldn’t guard a fence. If you mean players are more athletic, sure but skilled, just no.

This defense would make him cry? Man, i wanna see what you guys are talking about but every time i watch a game from the 80's or full highlights from one, the defense looks like chit. Same as today but with much worse athletes. Lebron would destroy this garbage

Have you ever watched a full 80's game or just a youtube hihlights with dirty plays? This is ridiculous. 84-93 era was more scoring friendly than 2005-2016.

But to go to the extreme like that just makes him look disrespectful and under-informed, to put it nicely.

You have former players saying MJ would average 50 in his sleep in todays league. That **** is just as disrespectful.

Like how they killed primarily passing threat magic to the tune of…26 8 13 in the finals??? and killed worthy? I literally just rewatched some Lakers Celtics finals games. There’s no extra layer of mystique to it. Good ball is good ball in any era and so are good players. No one is beating each other up every game. Not any more than how Jokic or Embiid arguably get fouled on every single offensive possession.

Sarcasm, bro

Two things. First, Jordan is the GOAT scorer, James isn’t nearly as dynamic. Second, the illegal defense rules make the game appear different. It wasn’t the athletes were so much worse.

Doesn't Jordan still occasionally practice and play against the Hornet's players? I swear I heard that and that he still kicks their asses, yet they think they are better.

If Lebron flopped the refs would have just laugh at him. I’ve been watching the NBA since the 70’s. The WNBA is tougher than the NBA. Today’s NBA players are pampered lead by Lebron. NBA is soft as tissue paper

Bro seriously, what are you guys watching? This is awful defense. I see zero resistance here.

Even I would average 50 against them as they were all 5' 4" alcoholics who smoked 3 packs of cigarettes at halftime and worked two FT jobs on the side as construction foremans and circus midgets. I heard they never even played basketball except for the games.

MJ scores 20 in his sleep, 30 before he laces them up and when he wants to kill you he lights you up. A true craftsman at scoring the ball with myriad arsenal and skill.

38.5 vs Orlando in 09. He has 4 over 35 series. Both losses vs respectable opponents and two wins vs bottom of barrel teams.
