Michael Jordan's Flu Game

[AdolfOliverBush]

Ironically, Karl Malone is the probably the NBA legend to whom LeBron compares most favorably.

Super productive for many years, but also an asshole whose game was like watching flies ****. Jordan is the GOAT. If not him, Chamberlain.

Lebron's legacy is much higher than Malone's.

That said, outside of suspensions, Malone hardly ever missed a game until his last season. Lebron gets injured all the time. Too soft compared to Malone.

This is so ridiculously wrong it has to be pointed out. Until his injury 2 years ago at the age of 34 after playing 16 years of basketball at the highest level anybody has ever seen, he was probably the most durable player in NBA history. There’s a reason he’s shattered (or is on the way to shattering) nearly every counting stat in the book and it’s not because he “gets injured all the time.”

Lame James has played 1 82 game season his entire career.

We’ve never seen a player as durable as LeBron James. The man has played 1,301 of a possible 1,404 regular season games across his career.

Those would be impressive stats even without taking into account the unbelievable strain put on LeBron’s body across 18 seasons of carrying his various teams offensively, defensively and emotionally.

And that’s to say nothing of his 38.3 minute career average, his 260 playoff games (without ever missing one), and all the drastically shortened offseasons that came with playing in 10 Finals, three Olympics and one World Cup.

Other than a groin injury which caused him to miss 17 games in 2018-19, James has never suffered a significant injury. And to top it off, he has retained an incredible amount of his athletic ability for someone who is 36 years old.

His 49,796 career minutes rank him seventh all-time and he’s just 316 minutes away from jumping into fifth place. Then he will be behind only Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Karl Malone and Kareem Adbdul Jabbar.

John Stockton was more durable. Don't post false facts. Stockton only missed around 30 games in his career. Mostly in one season. He had 17 seasons where he didn't miss a single game. Keep in mind when you research the stats that 1999 was a shortened season. He played every game between the age of 36 to 41.

Malone was also more durable then Lebron.

Nobody is contesting Stockton or Malone's durability here, though. Saying a guy is injury prone when he's played as many games as LeBron has over 18 years is just plain wrong. Accounting for the playoff games, he has played the most games of anybody in history over a 18 year period.

Cry more. The thread has basically consisted of a bunch of idiots just trashing LeBron with no real facts whatsoever.

How often were Malone, Stockton, or Jordan injured at 34? Yeah Lebron was durable until recently. Not anymore.

Once again, he was nowhere near the most durable in NBA history. Unless NBA history for you is the last 15 years. Hence my post above about Stockton's amazing durability.

Well MJ retired at the age of 34 and didn't actually play any of his age 35 through age 37 years (where LeBron has finally suffered a few injuries) so we'll never know. MJ then injured his knee in his 1st year back at age 38 and missed about a quarter of the season.
