Take into consideration, James will be on the decline in his career BEFORE Jordan or Kobe started there's, this is been a statement from M.J. himself;
"James is to reliant on size, speed, agility. With age, you lose all of those factors in your game which is why the brighter stars in the league (he referenced Rose) have constantly been updating they're game. I've seen the same game from James since entering the league, when he's 31 his size, speed, agility will be average to any player in the league... he's not a threat."
This was stated THIS MONTH. Look at the 'stats' nobody mentions about Lebron, 37% of his PPG come from the FT line.
Take away his ability to drive the lane like Jordan said, in 4 years from now, & you have a player that went from 26 PPG to 16 PPG on average, 16 PPG is sad for an All-star at 31. Kobe is 32 putting up almost identical PPG as James. I'm not a James hater... just not a James believer. He hasn't proved to me anything but failure. This dude will no longer possess the athleticism he relies on today in another few years to win any sort of gold. So in reality, the point of the story here, James isn't as young as you think when you consider his style of play shaves off a good 3-4 years off his career-decline.
KOBE THIS SEASON: 22.5PPG
JAMES THIS SEASON: 24PPG
A 1.5PPG difference... an a 6 year age difference... one in they're prime, the other not. I say as long as Bryant's in the league, James doesn't win.
