Michael Jordan: GOAT

Lebron and Jordan have different styles of play, and they are both very comparable in terms of overall talent, IMO. But what really set Jordan apart was his competitive fire. He didn't want to win, he needed to win, and would step on your throat when he had the chance. When it was time to take over a game, his sheer will became more powerful than his talent. 

Lebron is great, but his fire never burned the way Jordan's did. If the championship is on the line, you would want the ball in Jordan's hands 10 times out of 10 compared to Lebron. 

 
Most of the shots in that clip just aren't seen anymore.  It's either a three or a dunk.  The midrange jumper is a lost art.




That's because the mid-range jumper is wildly less efficient than either of those. I love a good mid-range game but the analytics and Curry-led revolution didn't happen without good compelling reason.
