That doesn’t entirely come off in your post and you leave the door open for interpretation when you say “more skilled”

This happened to be discussed in other forums but this is the quickest thing I can link to:
Thae fact that an idea has been discussed elsewhere, or that someone dropped a vid on YouTube about it, does not give that idea credibility. The stats are lying to you. (I'm tempted to drop a Bigfoot vid in here, but why take the time.)
Jimmy has an identical career TS% (.590) as Lebron, and that is where the similarities end. Lebron's eFG% is significantly higher and his HOB (Hand on Bucket) is almost double Jimmy's. And we'll see how Jimmy's counting stats fall off as he approaches 40yo. Jimmy is not and has never been close to the offensive force that Lebron has been. They play two completely different games. Jimmy is a stud, but I don't see that comp in the slightest.
Jimmy has 19 career triple-doubles; Lebron had 18 in one season. (122 total)
Jimmy has 8 career 40-pt games; Lebron had more than 8 in three separate seasons. (79 total)
Jimmy has 106 career double-double's; Lebron is at 605.
You may find some statistical similarities, but Jimmy has done it at a much smaller scale on the offensive end. And to be fair, Jimmy is a more impactful defensive player and I wouldn't compare them on that end either.
