MJ or Lebron? Paul Paul: Oh that’s easy ! Me!
bustdetector that’s true
🤣🤣🤣
I was crying when he said he was better than wade😂😂😂
And Lavar?
I would have been like "Paul, be serious and answer the dang question!!!"
I could've gone to a barbershop to hear this argument.
I heard the same exact conversation when I went to the barber shop. I swear all they was saying is: WHERE ARE THE RINGS, WHERE ARE THE RINGS
great point. why is this tv lol
@Frank Charles True dat
Hands would have been laid. LMAO
The barbershop was quiet until 1 guy came in with a 23 Jersey
I grew up, watching both MJ and LeBron and I have to say MJ hit a higher peak of greatness than Lebron during his entire career!
True but Jordan also had the greatest decline also pulling himself from the league. He was the greater athlete but is not the greatest player. Just my view. Bron has every skill and can play every position. Jordan could dominate 1 thru 3 but would struggle at 4 and 5 even in his Era. Bron could play all 5 positions in any Era. That's the sign of greatness.
@@kkaina2793 That's what they say. Jack of all trades, is a master of none.. playing 1 on 1 and winning is what I call the better player. Making an impact to the team and winning championships is what I call greatness. If Jordan did not retire, he would probably have a lot better stats than LeBron
Higher peak but how about consistency and longevity? I personally think that there is nothing wrong with having either Lebron or MJ as your GOAT. No need to knock the other down because they are both really up there and it just depends what kinds of player or playstyle you prefer because both players play differently.
@@syberdieforlove I'm just being honest, but people saying that LeBron is better. Just burns my heart
@@angrut agree because players played the game to win, there's probably a reason why Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward over Karl Malone because Duncan won a couple championship despite of Karl having a better stats than him.
Jordan is very strong actually, not weight, but strong, with very wide shoulder and big hands. That actually helped him a lot in the air, he has almost flawless body controls on the air because of how strong he was. We saw Kobe guarding Lebron on the court 1:1 at age 34 with no problem. With MJ it’s even easier.
Exactly Michael Jordan was just as strong as LeBron as a matter of fact I pick Michael Jordan to be better stronger than LeBron
Stop it. In his prime, the most MJ would weigh was 215. Lebron James weighed as much as 275 pounds during his prime. Jordan wasn't stronger than Lebron, and it's not even close.
Bro y’all Jordan fans gotta stop it bro like fr 😂🤦🏾♂️
@@mike2207 well let's not compare Michael Jordan to LeBron as far strength go we just compare LeBron to Wilt Chamberlain
Why do people keep saying there's never been a player like LeBron? Shawn Kemp was just as physically gifted,in his prime,as LeBron.
This is comparing MJs skills vs lebrons weight and height😂😂🤦🏽♂️
exactly bruh
Whats Jay's forgetting is the fundamentals of a 1 on 1 , thats man is crazy. Mj would honestly dominate against bron prime vs prime; there's is nothing unavailable in mjs personal scoring arsenal that lebron can be consistent of stoping.
@@tonymontana1410 mj can't guard born bcuz he he'd get outmuscled and he shorter, lebron also has an equal 3pt shot thats we saying lebrons size v mj skin
@@inboundcow8323 first of all, learn how to spell. 2n of all Mj is the best 1 on 1 player ever , when playing 5 on 5 is a completely different dynamic. Mjs scoring arsenal far surpasses bron in any fashion of the game, and he would honesty lock up bron . Itz not even a debate who s the better on ball defender( MJ ofcourrse). The only chance bron has ,its his post up game but the master of the post fade away is MJ. So does lebron really have a chance to beat MJ in his own game ,least than likely. Jay Williams is drunk and clearly a dummy. The 3 would not be effective in this 1 on 1 match up . Mj is faster and jumps higher than lebron so the 2 inch height difference wont matter. The only thing bron got going for him its his size, so the only thing that would make sense is his post up game. Other than that there's nothing MJ couldnt guard that lebron will throw at him. Like I said when yur this great, your 1 on 1 fundamentals are way more important than just sheer size brother.
Tony Montana yo relax, LeBron post fade is still pretty nice ( just look up game 2 v Toronto last year LeBron can just body him, post up, 3 three back dribbles and get mj off balance . Mj only jumps 2-3 inches higher so that doesn’t matter and u acting like LeBron has no skill in the one on one, when LeBron drives to the hoop it’s almost impossible to stop 1 on 1, you need help d to stop that, he has the most deadly driveI’ve every seen, if.u cut him off he just spins and finishes on the opposite sidemuscles through the contact, LeBron is also much stronger and is fast as well, lastly don’t tell me i need learn to spell when you need to do it too 😂
Jay Williams has that weird smile where you can't tell if he's mad, happy or going to cry.
🎯 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 facts
Hahahahahaha maaaa nikkkkaa
yes I notice it too because he is desperate defending his queen. he is going to cry =))
😂😂😂
MJ hands down, not gonna even waste my time explaining why. I saw Jordan live as a kid against the Clippers. Watched ever game in the 90’s. It ain’t close.
Bron literally backs him down 😂
bud you know MJ is a pure scorer who plays great defense.. You can always tell who knows ball and who doesn't.. LBJ has lost to a lot of his teammates one on one that aren't half the scorer or defender Mj is... Do just a little bit of research and you will see who he has lost to @@reubenbowen5096
mj cant defend a more better version of karl malone
you can tell you haven't watched enough basketball@@xtucs
@@wattwatkins3574 height is 6,9 and his weight is 260 and lebrons height is 6,9 and weight is 250 lol thats a similar
Did this man say Lebron is quicker than MJ? LeNofootwork? LeNobag? LeClumsy? Cmon now
Rose: Mj is the greatest player ever both defensively and offensively here's the stats even without context, Williams: yeah but lebrons taller
🤣😂😂🤣😂😂 Facts
Hahahaa!!!
My guy, Lebron's the better player offensively lmao. He's better at clutch, higher 3pt shooting, Higher fg perc, passing, blocking and rebounding. The man defends the paint as well, MJ might be better defending the perimeter but offensively, MJ doesn't run the offense. He just scores on the drive and midrange. If you add in points responsible for on the stat line, Lebron's ahead a lot more.
@@Sklouchechi ooghhh offensively ??? That’s cap Lebron just has better IQ
@@Mobucksssss who's to say he even has better IQ? How do we as fans judge that? There's players that say MJs IQ was incredibly high too smh. To make the game look easy or make everyone else look like trash means u know the ins and outs of the game pretty well
If you use Jay Williams logic then Shaq should’ve dominated Hakeem... oh that’s right, Hakeem made shaq look like an amateur.
Shaq was an amateur. That's a bad way to make an argument
X-man no the arguments holds water Al Jefferson was 290lbs at 6 11’ in 2007 and was seen as a faster and stronger player then Tim Duncan 230lbs 6 10’ ,does that mean in a one on one al Jefferson would of won ?hell no 😂😂,saying that the most athletic player would win is not a solid argument because basketball is more than just a physical sport is also a technical and strategic game.
Chuck Tate - Driven365 people forget this Shaq didn’t dominate until all the big men of the 90s were GONE
Junaid Desai that fat ass out of shape Shaq that even his coach Phil said he under performed because he gained too much weight?
@@gawdszn302 false. Shaq was considered the most dominant player ever since the 90s. You're either having revisionist history or you have a bias against Shaq
It’s not about having a killer instinct it’s about coming through for your team in big moments. Look at jordan at the end of game 6 in the 98 finals and lebron at the end of 2018 finals game 1 when he passed off to the 3rd or 4th best player on his team
What you just explained is killer instinct. That's what jordan had and kobe had as well.
Love this. Jalen it's that guy. I love Jayson too and the fact that he's got a smile on his face the whole time. He knows and everyone in the studio knows Jalen is right
for Jay to even bring up this, shows he has no idea what he's even talking about.
you have to have someone to debate against.. jay has a lot of bad takes.. Most likely why he had the job.. Just like Perk and Nick Wright.. You have to have those guys that have learning disabilities and go against the grain to have a show..
Jay don't even believe it himself, it's just a argument 4 the show
Kobe guarded Lebron why couldn’t MJ.
TheBizKore in Brons prime Kobe couldn’t guard him
Young Astro that’s was an old Kobe young Kobe would lockdown lebron
Young Astro except in 2013 Kobe clamped lebron in the asg and blocked him twice. 34 year old Kobe vs prime lebron 🤷♂️
If MJ played in the NBA now.. LeBron’s name wouldn’t even come up.
chrys cap
If Jalen guarded MJ, MJ would have dropped 160.
Christian Joel Cabrera He did in the 90's
You mean 162 lol
😂😂😂😂
Christian Joel Cabrera hahahaha
Jalen guarded MJ in multiple playoff series and Mike did not like seeing him, but Mike pissed on everyone
The closest (modern day) defensive comparison to MJ would be Spurs Kawhi, who Lebron hated playing against. They even have similar hand sizes. But MJ's offensive bag was more developed earlier on than Kawhi's. And while he was physically smaller than Lebron, he was just as athletic. And his game is better suited for 1-on-1.
That part.We seen Kobe lock lbj down & make him pass.Lbj would b calling 4 a switch n a 1 on 1 game
Except Jordan had 9 all defensive selections to khawhis edit: 7
Jordan is way better than Kawhi, his reflex n instincts was top tier, he would steal the ball 5 times from lebron in 7 possessions lol, Lebron wont stop him once. Prime MJ would make Prime lebron look foolish lmao. Its no debate.
MJ has a very high basketball IQ and superb athleticism. So it means he can beat anybody. Even LeBron! It's not the height but the performance on court says it all. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan! 💪💪
Jay Williams: “Lemme ask you something has Michael Jordan ever had to guard someone like lebron james?” Me: “has lebron had to guard anyone like MJ?”
Luke Gentry touchè! I'd have said the exact same thing. Then I'd answer by saying "Kobe! LeBron vs Kobe would be difficult to determine who wins. With that being said, MJ is a whole better version of Kobe and therefore it would be improbable for LeBron to win"
Luke Gentry exactly!!! James wouldn’t have a chance
Kobe
Kobe, KD
Jett Frank nah not KD, he aint got that big boi killer instinct like Kobe or Jordan did
Jalen on the floor praying like “LORD...please help this man” 🙏🏼
Jordan is good defensively but he never had to guard every position on the floor. Jordan never guarded the best player Pippen did
@@samsmacker9746 magic johnson?? Gary payton?? That's 2 of the greatest already.
@@raheemcueRCG don’t argue with that fool
Amen 🙏
@@raheemcueRCG you named 2 players I said Pippen guarded every position from 1-5 you named Payton and Magic. Last time I checked. Jordan couldn’t guard Malone, Barkley, Rodman,Worthy,
Next to the 1.4 clip this is the best ESPN video ever !! 1 on 1 ?????
"Defends like a guard" Argument lost
the statement that Lebron is faster makes no sense, yes lebron is fast but cmon man MJ had elite agility and quickness. Have you seen his film??
Yeah I had the same thought..bigger, stronger, but faster??
But I think they both ran 4.6 in a 40 yard dash. So Lebron ain't faster. He is probably equal to MJ. MJ definitely quicker.
@@ericklajara8641 Jordan ran a 4.38 and had a 46 inch vertical
@Henryneither
That's OK. LeBron would just chase Jordan down and block his shot.
Lebron had a very hard time guarding Kobe and Kobe gave Lebron a very hard time defensively and Kobe is the closest ever to MJ.
Lebron use to cook Kobe lol

@@aaronisbigg on you lol
@@brickgoon U a casual homie, been watching both of them for 3 decades Bron has given Kobe the works plenty times
If we're going with Williams logic then I'm taking Wilt Chamberlain 🤣
What Lebron did in the 2016 finals was incredible. He carried that Cavs team to the title over a more talented Warriors team. I don’t know if any other player could have done that.
And the first time he faced the SPURS for the Chip he had almost the same amount of turnovers as assist and the Spurs defense was to let LBj shoot... Then the MAvs series with LBJ having a super team VS a one allstar team... But for some reason you think the GOAT couldn't beat the Warriors with that loaded CAvs team is crazy to me...
How old are you? Or more specifically did you watch both of Jordan’s 3 peats live?
Kyrie Irving hit some of the biggest shots in that series!!!
jordan was known for being a monster in 1 on 1. he was humiliating players when he was 40 years old in 1 on 1
Not to mention, most of Jordan’s points came in the paint, where they had real Power Forwards, and Centers lurking.
Jordan didn't care those 7 footers were "lurking" lol. They were just poster material for him.
Back when the NBA was the roughest an the toughest
@@ndn2589 Mj got lucky didn’t have to deal 3 point shooters
Miss them days....
@@patriotskingnation8084 man I bet every big man too would be scared asf if they had to deal with gritty and skillful bigs like Shawn kemp even. They would go run and hide in the shadows
Bro casually said Lebroom is quicker than MJ. What a ridiculously false thing to say.
This guy saying James can beat Jordan cause of his weight and being tall? Michael went up against taller and heavier players like Shaq.
"Has Micheal Jordan ever played against a guy like Lebron James?" Well he played Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, Isiah, Magic and Bird.
Don't forget Karl Malone, John Stockton,Muggsey Bogues
And yet none of them are like lebron
AB AB And yet LeBron has never went against anyone remotely close to mj. But mj has went up against people comparable to LeBron
You're right they're better than Lebron
Queen James wouldn't last half a season in the 90's lol
You have to laugh hysterically at anyone that tries to say lebron could beat MJ one on one.
I get your nostalgia, but no.
Mj can never lose in a 1v1
The thing is we'll never know cauz they played in a different era
jj and that really does sum up this whole argument, it’s a bunch of “what if’s” but it’s still a good argument
@@jj-lw3zi agreed
This leads to whom has the most efficient and effective go-to move.
Remember when mj switched teams to win the NBA championship. Neither do I
Remember Lebron carrying an average Cavs team to a championship? I do, remember Jordan having the best team in the league for 6 years....I do
Beardedpower I still don’t understand why people don’t know this. Lebron played with the cavs and carried them for so long, he didn’t get much help and his organisation was trash unlike the bulls in the 90s who arguably had the greatest organisation of all time surrounding MJ with great players. If Lebron didn’t leave, people would be saying he’s just wasting his career in Cleveland. If your not getting taken care of, you’ve got to take care of yourself!
Beardedpower remember when kyrie had 41 points cause I do
@@jaimegutierrez1528 Cant compare Kyrie to Rodman or Pippen hes not even in the same league
@@jaimegutierrez1528 oooooh 41 points by the way. Lebron carried Kyrie
First 25 seconds is Jalen Rose demonstrating how a sane man reacts to insanity.
Even the crew in the background can't believe this BS 🤦🏽♂️
Everyone fails to realize you need to stop comparing what they have done and compare the two physically. The second someone say MJ did this or Lebron did this you already lost the argument because you cannot answer a 1 on 1 debate with what a team sport did.
Even when Jordan’s feet were bleeding with his original shoes on he still dropped a 30+ game
They dnt knw bout that size 13.5 and size 13 lmfao Jordan’s d goat
How about the 40+ game with the flu!!!!
LeBron hit a game winning 3 over one of the best point guards of all time while he was fresh off an injury and practically blind. LeBron is the goat and he would OWN jordan in a 1v1. no questions asked.
@@alexe2375 I don't think LeBron would win it will be close but here why LeBron would lose to MJ if they played 1on 1 LeBron is soft he cries when other players bump him and likes to flop while MJ had to play against a really physical team of the bad boy Pistons who made the Jordan rule and where out to hurt him I don't see LeBron James being able to handle that all LeBron James has going for him against MJ is that he is bigger than him.
I can't believe this is an argument.. MJ been playing with real Gs back then Lebron is playing with kids now.. plus the game now is very sensitive while game back then is more physical..
Truth
Let the media tell you that buddy. “The tough 80s and 90s” shut up lad LBJ would dominate in the 90s, he would average 32,10,9
@@liammcdaid2759 You obviously have no clue what you are talking about lol
Jordan’s competition was less athletic, poor shooters, and significantly less quick. Lebron would average 50 in the 80’s and 90’s.

This pops up every year for me 😂
Lol Jay said into a mic that Bron was QUICKER than Mike. Smh.
MJ played beat a whole team that was trying to injure him. Lebron was called Leflop at one point in his career.
Lol your so right. I never knew James to stop great players from Getting a ring.
For the entirety of his career MJ was double teamed many times triple teamed. The Detroit Bad Boys designed a strategy to stop him (The Jordan Rules) at all costs whether to end his career through injury so be it.

Lebron has faced the warriors who are the best team in nba history, a spurs dynasty team, and an experienced Mavs team. How many HOFers I hear? MJ faced 7 HOFers while Lebron faced 10 HOFers. Face the facts.

And Jalen is right, Lebron has never been elite defensively, at least not as elite as MJ.

That T-shirt Guy Under 30 year olds believe LeBron is the goat... Everyone who saw MJ play knows he's the best. There is a reason people call you the "Michael Jordan" of something if you are the best in it.
You call MJ the GOAT because, you all are brainshawed. MJ was the GOAT of marketing but, on the court you guys seem to forget Hakeem Olajuwon. Hakeem is so underrated I cannot believe my eyes that his name is never mentionned. Hakeem was as strong mentally then Jordan and he was very quick for a Center. Also, you guys forgot how Wilt Chamberlain was strong and how Bill Russell was smart but, they played in a different era wich is why you cannot compare MJ to these guys. MJ is the one of the best of his era but, you simply cannot say he is the GOAT.
Right

TheBrotherTeam-2014 okay but as an overall player Jordan is better than all of them.

7 nothing all day...
@@Hinshu85 nah, all 10.. 7 nothing
Lebron is the most physically gifted player ever with padded stats since he came out of hs and played against a weak eastern conference for 10 years. Jordan is naturally going to have less stats when you go to school for 3 years and retire for 2 years in your prime but MJ was the better basketball player. So stats don't count. Championships are 6-0 with a likelihood of 8-0 if he played those 2 years. You can't be GOAT when you lose as many times as Lebron has in the finals. When Lebron joined up with his boyfriend for some fun on the beach the expectations were 5+ titles. If that happened he could have passed MJ. Reality is he didn't show up vs an inferior Dallas team and got his ass locked up by Kidd and Barea. Jordan put fear in his opposition come nba finals. Dallas smelled the pussy in Bron

The greatest argument for MJ ever is that MJ would rather be carried off on a stretcher to a hospital than lose that 1-1. Lebron would be fine to lose then make an excuse about it later. MJ wouldnt be able to sleep for weeks if he lost. Lebron would be out like a light. Greeny smashed it with that.

Players like Kobe and MJ are made for 1 on 1s I think lebron is more in his element on a team, MJ would dominate Lebron in a 1 on 1 I dont think lebron would survive a 1 on 1 against Kobe either
John Orozco factssss
Shhhh so much sense isn't allowed on KZhead
If u don’t mind me asking name the defenders that guarding MJ??
@@dreadheadj5558 Basically the entire Detroit piston team with their "Jordan Rule"
Its actually close but 8/10 MJ takes the cake.
Sheer will and competitiveness of MJ is unmatched. There’s no way he’d lose. When Lebron reaches MJ teaches
Same way he lost in '95 against the Magic.
LeBron won't reach. He's a disciplined defender
@@jaylonntullis6810 yea and he came back with a vengeance, he didn't run to another team!
But LeBron is a smart player he wouldn't reach LOL
Lebron was not a fierce competitor. MJ is the Goat in every aspect and I hated MJ
He switched so fast when he started naming the player mike played against and said no im talking one on one 😂 wasent he the one asking if mike ever played against as good as lebron haha
the question should have been turned around has LBJ ever faced MJ type player.. We all seen what Jason Terry and Berra did to LBJ on both sides of the ball... LBJ needs a team to be the most effective.. he isn't a one on one player.. LBj is documented losing to his teammates one on one that aren't half the player MJ was
A youngster told me that Jordan wouldn’t score as many points in todays game 🤦🏻♂️
Jay Williams doesn't even believe his own argument
Its facts lebron will win
Explain how I'm dumb I've never said lebron was better than Jordan I'm saying 1 on 1 not 5 on 5 it's a difference dumb ass
Marco Jay went to Duke Mike was a Tar Heel
I think he did believe it until Jalen told he was 9 defensive player of the year
See yall caught up in that when clearly scottie was the better defender Michael is the goat but he wasn't guarding guards like today's era..and yall know it
the NBA is now an exhibition sport- when jordan played it was an actual competition.
Spot on fam.
no 1 I’m new to basketball explain please if you can
Actual competition? Bro u couldn’t even play help or zone LOL kobe or lebron would avg 35 a game back then
@@doctronfour9060 take the 🏀....dribble it.....🏃🏃 down the court....then shoot it into the basket.
There were full double and triple teams but no zone, but you could hand check. The hand check slows the game down thats why they removed it. They had to bring zone defense otherwise it would be impossible to play defense on a good player.
Man if you compare old era and todays era new era averages crazy stats either defensive or scoring side that's why I think Bron's era is tougher than old era aside from that a just a little bit contact will be called as a foul immediately in today's time.
He obviously meant MJ being 60 against Bron being 38 ;)
MJ ran a 4.3 40 yard dash!!!!! NFL wide receiver speed!!!!!! Oh yeah he also had the highest vertical jump in NBA history. 48.5 in vert!!!!! This dude crazy!!!!!!
L Williams wilt ran 10.9 in 100yd dash and has the highest nba vertical ever recorded but okay.
esli garcia wilt was also 7’1. Gtfo with that highest vertical shit
Kenneth Dunn Vertical has to do with how high your feet get off the ground not your height. Scumbag
More lies, Mj's vertical jump wasn't 48.5 inches.
TheAnswerPP it surely was not
You're bugging if you think Lebron is quicker than MJ.
Bron beats Jordan in a 1v1 any day
@@ccf3195 wartch bron vs kobe highlights 1 on 1, then think...
Uhhh he is faster tho?
@@observer6681 but Kobe is quicker than LeBron you idiot
@@caircn5747 ;D? I'm sayin dat kobe was better the bron 1 on 1, so mj would also be better then bron. Im in Kobe, MJ team. No disrespect to Bron. Peace !
Jalen has experience against MJ, too. He was with the Pacers while MJ was in his second stint with the Bulls (the first time he came out of retirement). Rose knows for a fact that peak MJ would smoke LeBron.
You can save better ones better where's whatever it doesn't matter they're just two different type of players
Only people alive during MJ career can comment on this and MJ puts Lebron to shame, I’ve experienced watching both and live, not just on television. MJ would crush Lebron
IM NOT MN FAN BUT LEBRON IS NO MJ AND HE COULD NEVER BEAT MJ 1 on 1
Xxxaaaccbb same here Mj is the 🐐
No bruh absolutely not. MJ never had anyone in the league like lebron, stature, physicality. Same way how mj was ahead of his time, lebron is basically the first demigod of the league. As great a defender mj is you cannot tell me lebron would body that man in the paint
MJ is faster and a better shooter. They asked MJ about going against Drexler in the Finals. They said people are saying Drexler might be better because he can shoot 3's better. Mj said because I choose not to shoot them. The next game he hit six 3 pointers in the first half setting a record the NBA finals. MJ will just go to the next level on someone when challenged.
...... who was Jordan play against
MJ is way better…. i don know why people sill discuss this mate
He was beaten 1v1 against a short fat buisnessman
Bro lebron would beat him because of size
realityking tv mj beat him even in stats... you can have your opinion, people who really know about basket have the same of mine. Listen to Pippen, for example. Mj didn’t lose a final, for me it’s enough just that
@@antoniorubioaldehuela1168 it doesnt take 1 person to win the finals lol
MetroX Division But did he lose when it mattered the most?
One vs One would be a great matchup and it would go back and forth just leave it there
With the quickest thought I would’ve asked him MJ shot attempts once he brought up scoring titles and as soon as he talked about comp I would’ve brought up the age of these players
MJ shot 50% Fg for his career while winning 10 scoring titles lol
This guys argument is "LeBron weighs more so he'd win" LMAO WTF this is ridiculous.
LeBron weighting more is a bad argument, but jalan throwing up stats isn't good neither.One on One b-ball is different. They're alot of great one on one ballers on the playground who could take mj and LeBron who never made the pros.
Weight makes a big difference in basketball. If you don't weigh a lot, on offense your movement can be altered more easily. On defense, it's harder to alter the offensive player's movement. For rebounding, same situation.
@@aChristian4RonPaul Well, Kevin Durant, Kareem, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and George Gervin were thin and great scores.Dennis Rodman was a great rebonder and skinny. Strength, toughness, and durability can make up for lack of size.
@@courylanders8647 you can be thin and still weight a lot when you're tall. Duncan weighed about the same as Lebron. Garnett did too. Durant is close to Lebron. Furthermore, you can be the lightest person on the court and still be the best scorer, even the best rebounder, even the best defender. Agreed that strength, toughness, and durability can make up for lack of size. My only point was that weight does make a big difference in basketball. All other attributes equal (ex: height, speed, metal toughness, etc), someone with more weight is at an advantage than the person with less weight.
Have you seen Carmelo and Kobe Byrant battle 1v1?? Kobe got dominated in the paint, Carmelo's post up isn't even his best offense but Kobe couldn't do anything to stop him even with great defense, just too small. Imagine what Lebron would do with Jordan just physically. I'm not saying it will be one-sided, MJ will probably break down LBJ mentally in 5v5 but 1v1 where LBJ will have the confidence with just physicality alone!!!
