What are you basing him being a worse shooter on exactly? Lebron has wayyyy more 3s and shoots a higher percentage overall and from 3(on much higher volume) but nice try. Is a better passer and rebounder period. It’s easy to be a better defender when you never have to guard the other teams #1 option, which Pippen always did. Or did you forget that?
I’ll give you FT though lol congrats.
You think because LBJ has made more 3's than Mike playing in an era that heavily prioritizes the 3 makes him a better shooter? LMAO. As I said numerous times before in this thread LBJ is a below avg 3-pt shooter relative to the era that he plays in. Mike was an avg 3-pt shooter relative to his era, where he only attempted 1.7 3's a game. Let me ask you though since you know so much about LBJ what does he shoot outside of 3ft from the basket but inside the arc? Then compare that % to what Mike shot, and then you'll quickly realize who was the better shooter. Shooting doesn't just mean 3-pt shooting, or shooting inside of 3-ft from the basket. You also have to look at FT shooting & mid range shooting too. The majority of LBJ's shots are inside of 3-ft from the basket which heavily skews his shooting %. Thats significant because he's playing in an era that's as soft as Charmin, despite being 6.8', 260. And no, I didn't forget that Pippen was a great defender. But did you forget that Jordan won DPOY, & was a 9-time 1st team all-defensive team selection, even at age 35? When was LBJ's last all defensive team selection? But let me guess his versatility on Defense still makes him a better defender than Mike right? LMAO
