Miami Heat: Ray Allen’s ‘LeBron James G.O.A.T’ Logic Has Flaws

Miami Heat: 1 “Point” Is Subjective And The Other Factually Shows Superiority

When it comes to shooting, this is a much simpler and quicker explanation.

LeBron James is a better shooter across his career from range and on more than twice the number of attempts that Jordan has across his career per game. Yes, the game was different as Jordan conquered it, however, those were the parameters that Allen set.

When it comes to this conversation, in particular, you have to acknowledge Jordan as the best to ever touch an NBA regulation Spalding, based on the baseline he set for greatness, his accomplishments, and his cultural impact on the game itself.

However, if you are choosing based on a “who you would take in a draft to start a team” or “on the playground” type situation, you have to go with the 6’8″ and 250-pound dude that’s just as athletic and skilled. They are more “1a” and “1b”, where preference makes the choice, as opposed to “1” and “2”.

So, again and while you can attack this case made by Allen from a few different angles, the logic he chose to use isn’t sound. The one point you give him is the free throw argument, where Jordan was better across his career on slightly higher attempts.

When handle is subjective and LeBron is, traditionally, the better shooter by efficiecy and on greater volume, you just can’t use those as two of your core measures, evidence, or proof in this scenario.
