![]() ![]() Lebron gets accused of passing too much, while Jordan has never been criticized for passing too much. In the end, I think there can be no doubt that James is the better shooter. ![]() Also keep in mind that the NBA, in an effort to increase scoring, moved the line into 22 feet during the 1995, ’96, and ’97 seasons, which helped Jordan. Jordan for his career was a 32% three-point shooter on 1.7 attempts per game, while James has been over 34% on 4.0 attempts per game for his career. Now, it is true Jordan took a lot more shots and defenders could hand-check him, which gives Jordan fans an argument, but they also forget that teams couldn’t play a zone defense against Jordan, either.īehind the three-point arc, even the biggest Jordan fan can’t argue this one.

In this article, I will look at the reasons that make me lean toward Lebron as the better player. I think a lot of it stems from people’s inability to even consider that someone can be on the level of Michael Jordan.
