Wemby vs LeBron at age 22

Dwight Howard's 2009 #NBAFinals run vs LeBron's 2007 run: With similar help, Howard faced three 60+ win teams (all higher seeds) w/o home court, beating 2 (including MVP Bron). LeBron faced no 60 win teams & only faced 1 team w/ a winning record in the entire East playoffs.

Ranker asked sports fans to re-rank ESPN's 2024 list of the greatest athletes of the 21st century. Kobe Bryant shot up 5 spots. LeBron James plummeted 10 spots.

Coincidentally, the win percentage of Jordan and LeBron's #NBAFinals opponents are nearly identical. Their win percentage *against* those Finals opponents is not.

Due to the strength of his superteams, LeBron has been the favorite to win the #NBAFinals prior to the start of the season 7 times, but has underperformed. Michael Jordan and Steph Curry have overperformed.

LeBron's 3rd option on Cleveland put up better numbers in the playoffs than Scottie Pippen during the 72-10 season.

Kevin Love has been unfairly dismissed as "no help" to LeBron, and his contribution to the Cavs has been erased, but he was an underrated superstar who was a huge part of the team's success. #NBAFinals

See, the issue is you think Jordan going 24-of-24 in series as higher seed is a “stat.” For other people, it was a crushing dominance they actually watched year after year.

LeBron and AD's 2020 playoff stats 👀 LeBron did not make the playoffs on the Lakers until Anthony Davis joined the team.

Michael Jordan was the most impactful player on the Bulls. Every season. Every postseason. The "most impactful" player on a dynasty doesn't get traded for Roy Rogers and a 2nd round pick.

LeBron and Kyrie Irving's 2016 playoff stats 👀 And Kyrie hit the title-clinching game winner...unassisted.

LeBron and Dwyane Wade's 2011 playoff stats 👀

Maybe if Michael Jordan was allowed to travel 3 times on one possession, y'all would finally say he had a "bag"

The OKC Thunder's start is impressive, but they've only played 4 games against teams that had an over .500 record. They've had the easiest schedule in the NBA and have the toughest remaining schedule in the league. Don't be surprised if they win fewer games than last year.

@AirJordans2323 @Jumpman23 @KingJames It's a lot easier to get rebounds when the ball falls into your hands by accident and you don't even have to jump...

LeBron has been teammates with 10% of the top 100 players of all time. That is a LOT of elite help.
