Pros And Cons Of Persuasion Vs Michael Jordan

Although the stats do not lie, people still believe there is an argument to be made over who the greatest basketball player of all time is because of the number of championships won. Through the age of 31, LeBron James has accomplished more than Michael Jordan did through his 19 year career. Michael Jordan was six and zero in the National Basketball Association finals, but he did not have the productivity like LeBron James did. LeBron has put up some unheard of and unthinkable numbers, while leading a team in 2007 to the National Basketball Association finals that had no other star players on the roster. If LeBron James is not better than Michael Jordan he is just as good because of his career accomplishments, his statistical numbers, as well

Michael Jordan went to the finals six times, where he “won six rings in six attempts.” This is a valid point, but LeBron’s career is yet to finished and he could still win six rings, granite he will still have losses on his record in the finals, but he can tie or surpass Jordan’s six rings. With Jordan having “an efficiency rating of 27.91”, while LeBron “has a 27.58 efficiency rating” this makes him more productive than LeBron. The efficiency rating is not even a fair argument with how close they both are, and LeBron also passes the ball more because he is more of a passer which will result in him turning the ball over more which results in Jordan having a marginal edge in player efficiency. “Jordan has averaged an astounding 30.1 points per game” for his career compared to LeBron “averaging 27.1, 3 points per game less than Jordan”. Jordan was more of a score first player than LeBron is, LeBron prefers to get his teammates involved, but can score at will when it is needed. LeBron has a horrible “free throw percentage of 74.4 percent” nearly 10 percent below Jordans 83.5 percent. This is one of the lone blemishes on LeBron’s resume, as it is the downside to his game, he tends to struggle from the free throw line, but also hits them when they are needed the most. Since Jordan has more rings than LeBron and has never

Through the age of 31 LeBron and Jordan both have “three rings, three finals most valuable players”, but LeBron has the edge in the amount of statistical records. LeBron has proven his dominance as the greatest player of all time because he does it. He has set numerous records and broken many as well and he still has six to eight years left of his career to break even more. LeBron’s career has been nothing short of dominant, as he has been “elite from nearly his third season on, and he has almost never missed time due to injury.” This is just a testament to both his “durability and individual excellence” as he has kept his body in shape by spending nearly 4 million dollars a year. There is no sign of him slowing down anytime soon, as he continues to become more and more efficient as his career goes on, he has slowly dipped in scoring this last year, but has increased in rebounding and assisting, as well as his steals. The numbers this man has put up, to go with the things he has accomplished at such a young age with still time left to add to his resume are the determining factor as to why he is the greatest player of all
