At age 31, you wonder where the MJ vs LeBron debate is. I think at age 31 LeBron wins because at age 31 both MJ and LeBron won three NBA finals. MJ does have one more regular season MVP’s over LeBron. However, at age 31 LeBron has been to two times more NBA finals than MJ. You can say that going to the finals and not winning does not mean anything but it sure is impressive and something MJ has not been able to do. LeBron has more rebounds by more than 2,000, and has 3,000 more assists, 4,000 more points scored, and finally more than a 1,000 more points in playoff games. In '84 MJ came into the league and won rookie of the year and his team lost in the first round of the playoffs. Next, he broke his leg and they were swept. He came back and they were swept again in the first round of the playoffs.
Losses in the semifinals:
Then you have to consider all the losses in eastern conference finals. For the first three years, MJ made the playoffs, the Bulls had a losing record. LeBron wins rookie of the year and the first two years they didn't make playoffs but they had to win a record. Then they lose in the semis in seven. MJ was making to the playoffs with losing records yet LeBron with winning records could not get into the playoffs. In addition, he beat MJ to the NBA finals in his fourth season. LeBron did not go and play college basketball and get preparation like MJ. At age 31 LeBron has been to the finals two times more than MJ, he got their faster. In addition, he took the WORST TEAM in the history of the league to the NBA finals. We look at only Michael’s rings and trophies like we should, but we should also consider how he couldn’t even pass the first round of the playoffs at one point.
