Because Jordan took three years off in 93’ and then took three more years off after the 98’ season. Simple. Micheal didn’t have near the amount of tread on his tires. Which you would think would be blatantly obvious to even the thickest of Jordan fans yet it isn’t. Strange yet somehow unsurprising.

@@jamessindel3205lmao wow the stupidly and blatant lies. He retired the 1st for less than 2 years and he was playing baseball during that time. When he came back in 2001 at 38 he hadn’t played basketball in 3 years. If you actually had a brain you would know not doing something will diminish your skills at it especially when you stopped for consecutive years. Jordan had to refine his skills and train his body again to be able to compete once again. Btw when jordan played all 82 his last year it was on essentially one leg and he actually played defense unlike lebum who’s a -111 on the floor 😅

In comparison In 21 full NBA seasons,lebron has only played in 82 games once, during the 2017-18 season, when he was still relatively close to the peak of his powers. Bottomline and up front. MJ has accomplished and done more in less time than Lebron have or ever will. Everything lebron has done to this point is for the sake of stat padding.
