I'm a HUGE cavs fan and we have to write a persuasive speech about something not many people agree on. I couldn't think of anything so my teacher suggested I do something about if LeBron will pass MJ. I need soldid facts as to why this could happen. For example LeBron has went farther in the playoffs in 3 years than Jordan did his first 3 years. I need stats like that to back up my speech.

The best stats you have are age stats
LeBron is the fastest player to 5,000 points, youngest to record a triple double, youngest to average 30 points a game, is on pace to score more than Jordan and so on compare their accomplishments at the age of 22.
for instance by the age of 22 LeBron has about 5,000 more points than Jordan, has been an all star MVP, grabs more rebounds
the best argument is the age one

The problem with this is that you have no argument at all. MJ was clutch. He made the shots he needed to make. If the Bulls were losing by one point in the final seconds, and MJ had the ball you knew the Bulls were going to win. Lebron is not capable of hitting big-time shots. Also, his jump shot at any time is not consistent. Also, Michael Jordan played on both ends of the court. Lebron has no defensive intensity. So Michael Jordan>Lebron on offense. Michael Jordan>Lebron on defense. No contest.

Well, he did say he has to write on something MOST people will disagree on. With that in mind... I also disagree with your point, so you've picked a good topic. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to make a case for anyone ending their careers better than MJ's. The guy is only the most coveted athlete of his time. You can say that James is bigger and stronger than Jordan. That he has the body of a power forward, but moves like a 2-guard. That he signed some crazy deal with NIKE before he even entered the league. That this shoe contract is bigger than any other basketball player in history. You can say that he had a better body than most NBA players when he was a senior in high school. That most critics picked him to be the successor of Jordan. Yea, I know they've picked a ton other guys to succeed Jordan. You can say that James have Magic's passing skills in addition to Jordan's explosiveness. That he can play 3 positions not just 2 (like MJ). Good luck!

After this season, lebron will be the 2rd player in history to average 26pts, 6 asts, and 6 rebs in 3 strait seasons. The only other was Oscar Robinson, not MJ. He also plays in a more talented era, came strait out of high school, was rookie of the year, 1st overall pick, and the youngest player to win the all star mvp award. Hope I help!

if it was lebron vs. mj in a 1 on 1 game, mj would win like 21-12. lebron is great now and will be forever, and probably one of the top 10 players of all time. but mj is and always will be the best.
i would use that as some type of conclusion thing. i dont have any stats

of course Lebron might win. Muscle and top > capacity a million on a million on the courtroom the final public of the time, relatively if the gamers are interior the suitable shape feasible. Lebron posts Jordan up, and purely dunks on him..How is Jordan or Kobe assume to provide up that? Now if there have been refs to call fouls and stuff, that must be a compltley distinctive tale.

Sorry but MJ would win because LeBron isn't effective taking jump shots. You could argue that he's the strongest/fastest player in the league. One of the most durable as well. He could probably win slam dunk contests at will.

You have no speech. Lebron will never surpass the success, and impact that Jordan had. You should change your theme. I would suggest talking about advantages and disadvantages of high hoop stars jumping into the NBA.

Then go find some. I bet if you hit google first you would find some faster than people can respond. And what side are you taking Lebrons or Jordans?

Lebron has not played nearly enough to match up with M.J., but there is plenty of time! I love Lebron!!!
