Congratulations to LeBron James for overtaking Carl Malone in the Lakers' game against the Wizards to become the second highest scorer in history. After completing this achievement, the referee deliberately blew a halt to the game, and James and his teammates hugged and greeted and went off to rest. After the game, the famous commentator Perkins believed that the discussion about the first person in history was now variable, meaning that James should be discussed. Many people expressed different opinions on this.
Today, James's second position in history has been affirmed by more people, and a small number of people still think that Abdul-Jabbar's honor is similar, and strictly speaking, there is a need for discussion. But more people don't know about Abdul-Jabbar at all, and the media doesn't advocate him, and the discussion can only stay in a small part of the population. However, if you talk about the status and identity of the team, James is stronger than Abdul-Jabbar. In the mouths of some superstars, Abdul-Jabbar's historical status is also rarely mentioned, proving that those people are well aware of Abdul-Jabbar's abilities and do not think he can surpass LeBron.
Well, in terms of historical status, the only person who has formed a clear advantage over James is Michael Jordan.
If we talk about achievements, James is obviously inferior to Jordan in the main personal achievements - MVP, FMVP, championships - these items, Jordan in a shorter period of time, more results. More achievements in a shorter period of time, and fewer achievements in a longer period of time, which one is stronger? Obviously people for shorter periods of time.
Jordan's shorter time, not the "normally distributed" time, has obvious highs and lows, but stays there when it jumps up. At this point, James has clearly conceded points, especially in these two seasons. However, some people may feel that this has little to do with James. The Bulls are still in full-strength to win the title in the years after Jordan, and the Lakers' operation is far from being so good. However, from the scene, Jordan's game state is much better than James's, especially in terms of the attitude of the game.
James' flaws in defense are amplifying the evaluation of his career. In his post-retirement evaluation, it is impossible to forget his defensive performances in the last two years. This kind of defense has a state of exhaustive pursuit of Jordan, sometimes confusing, sometimes embarrassing.
So, the strenuousness, which is James' strenuousness in terms of honor accumulation, indicates his Jordan gap. Jordan is easier because he is stronger, and James's ability is not as good, resulting in difficulties in the accumulation of honors.
In addition to the difficulty of accumulating honors conveniently, Many of James' honors have top participation, but they are not the top ranks. Honors such as scoring king, assist king, and rebound king represent the most essential ability of players, and James is involved, but they are not the best.
Jordan has 10 scoring kings and so many defensive teams, and James has one, but he's not as good as Jordan. It is also a portrayal of James' entire type of honor. For example, the total scorer is also James's, so even if James is the first total scorer, you will remember that there is someone who plays basketball better than him.
James is good enough, but there are always deficiencies compared to Jordan. What is remarkable is that he has done as perfectly as much as possible. In every honor, it has been listed in history, which is a success and greatness in itself. Sometimes people pay too much attention to the top people and give too little respect to those who are at the top of every category.
