is there a point in even watching games now with our eye? We should just go to basketball reference and get all our info from there.
Deal?

. The basketball nerds already do this. Dudes use advanced math for basketball discussions.

I wish this board was around when GP hounded MJ into 6-19 shooting and 5-19 shooting with 5 turnovers in closeout games. The hot takes would've been amazing. Or when Paxson and Kerr hit their game-winners, since we see what the narrative is nowadays when role players contribute something.
The man was great, but he didn't walk on water. Let some people tell it, it's like he never had a subpar game.
Also, I'm sure the people who deify his 6-0 Finals record would've been cool with LeBron not getting to the Finals until age 28.

I dunno. Seems like they averaged pretty low minutes overall but those injuries down the stretch taxed everybody.
Dudes completely lack context of the actual game of hoops when they rely on analytics. This aint mathletes
Per 36 tho

The argument isn't about career or mythlogy.
It's about who would you start a team around.
Lebron has a strong argument vs Jordan.

^ You already know losing in the ECF is better than having a blemish on your Finals record.

Analytics go hand in hand with the eye test though. I don't understand why people are so dismissive towards analytics. I don't know who's actually using analytics to back up a claim or come to a conclusion w/o using the eye test as well.

I just can't see the big difference between starting your team w/ Prime bron over jordan.

You'd win about 3 years sooner
You wouldn't lose in the finals to a less talented team
You'd have better accolades/numbers
