35 year old James or 35 year old Jordan, who has a better performance in the Finals?

Jordan in 1998 and James in 2020 were both 35 years old and led the team to win the championship 4-2 and were elected FMVP.

So who did the better in the finals?

In 1998, the Chicago Bulls 4-2 Utah Jazz in the finals

G1, Chicago Bulls 85-88 Utah Jazz, Jordan 33 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks;

G2, Chicago Bulls 93-88 Utah Jazz, Jordan 37 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block;

G3, Chicago Bulls 96-54 Utah Jazz, Jordan 24 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block;

G4, Chicago Bulls 86-82 Utah Jazz, 34 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals;

G5, Chicago Bulls 81-83 Utah Jazz, 28 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals;

G6, Chicago Bulls 87-86 Utah Jazz, 45 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 4 steals;

In the 6 games of the series, Jordan averaged 4 rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, and free throw shooting percentage; In the whole process, the Bulls won three games in a row with a big score of 3-1 in the case of losing one game first, and then the Jazz pulled back a game, and at the last moment of G6, Jordan stole Malone in the low post on the left side, slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, and completed the quasi-lore with the iconic mid-range shot, also known as the last shot.

In 2020, the Los Angeles Lakers 4-2 Miami Heat in the finals

G1, Los Angeles Lakers 116-98 Miami Heat, James 25 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and steals;

G2, Los Angeles Lakers 124-114 Miami Heat, James 33 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block;

G3, Los Angeles Lakers 104-115 Miami Heat, James 25 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 8 turnovers and 2 blocks;

G4, Los Angeles Lakers 102-96 Miami Heat, James 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 6 turnovers;

G5, Los Angeles Lakers 108-111 Miami Heat, James 40 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers;

G6, Los Angeles Lakers 106-93 Miami Heat, James 28 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal;

In the 6 games of the series, James averaged rebounds and assists per game, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage; In terms of average data per game, Jordan scored stronger, but James was more versatile, and he had to take into account the whole team while scoring, but considering the strength of the opponent, the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls at that time had a higher lineup age than the Los Angeles Lakers, so Jordan's performance was better than James's.

I think Jordan played better because I think Jordan was relatively aggressive in the Finals at that time, and Jordan did score more points than James in that game, so I think Jordan is better.

It can be said that Jordan's performance in the Finals will be better, because Jordan not only scored the highest individual points in the Finals, but also led the Bulls to a championship, which James cannot match.

The 35-year-old Jordan had an even better performance in the finals. The 35-year-old Jordan averaged points + 4 rebounds + assists + steals + blocks per game in the finals, and the 35-year-old James averaged points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks per game in the finals. Through the comparison of data, it can be seen that Jordan performed better.

Both won 6 games and won the FMVP. Jordan averaged 4 rebounds per game, and James averaged 4 rebounds per game. Both performed very well.

Don't look at anything else As long as Jordan is replaced with a player of the same level as him at that time, whether he can win the Jazz, and whether James can be replaced with a player of the same level can win the Heat, not to mention that the Bulls' opponent Jazz and the Lakers' opponent Heat are really very different.

I always compare who is with the helper, from the perspective of basketball, it is really two, but from the perspective of pulse, it is really effective.

Let's take a look at the whistle of the Finals, the Lakers have one benefit, one normal one, and the other four games are very biased by the Heat.

Jordan has been said to be a god by everyone, who can surpass it, you can take a look at Jordan highlights, and then look at James highlights.

Can Davis win without scoring 40 points? The thighs are not strong, and they are strained.

Jordan, is there any suspense left?

I think James is significantly better in rebounding and assisting.

James points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks

Jordan points + 4 rebounds + assists + steals + blocks

The gap is obvious!

James lived in an era that also made him very uncomfortable。Because this era is the era of small forwards, James as a small forward, although he is a top small forward, but not the best small forward, there are too many people who can compete with him in the small forward position, Durant, George, Leonard are all very powerful small forwards. And Kobe and Jordan, when they were in the era, they were the top, and they didn't have too many competitors, of course, Jordan didn't talk about it, he played without any opponents.

Physical talent is different, Jordan Bryant is a scoring guard, mainly focused on scoring, while James is more physical, and has a wide basketball vision, can quickly move the ball to the right position after attracting the bag, and help the team through assists.

James has many flaws in hard power, and at the age of 34, the technical vulnerabilities are becoming more and more obvious, which has led to a widening gap between him and Jordan Bryant at the same time.

When Kobe Bryant was 34 years old, the Lakers' lineup was very strong, but James was 34 years old, but he frequently changed teams, and there was some chaos within the team.

Personally, I think this is related to their respective reasons, everyone has their own peak, and everyone's peak is also different. After their prime, it is natural that people will become inadequate.

It's weird??? Jordan Kobe Bryant not only has physical talent, but also tenacious fighting spirit! They don't report the group in the dictionary, and they don't brush the data in garbage time to make Xiaobai look like a superstar, and the opponent will beat him if he is not convinced.

Therefore, they are all shooting hard to make up for the impact of the decline of physical talent with age, so at the age of 35, they still have no solution to play singles with their backs. What about James? Playing completely by the body, the technique is rotten, the talent playing style has not changed for more than ten years, the body is old and has no body, and now the playoffs can be emptied, not to mention Jordan Kobe, even Duncan Durant is not as good, it all depends on the ** god!

Winning the championship at the age of 35, who is better James or Jordan? He's overrated after the comparison For other players, it's hard to have a season at 35, but for Jordan and James, they can still win an NBA championship at the age of 35. Today's James has not retired from the league, and the former Jordan is also the first person in the league who has attracted everyone's attention, and at the age of 35, they are the championship winners, so who is better James or Jordan?

Through comparison, you can find the advantages and gaps between the two, and one of them is overrated!

As a senior in the NBA league, no one has ever dared to question Jordan's ability and influence in public, and has even enshrined him as the god of basketball. No matter how well a junior player plays, it's hard to compare to Jordan, and so is James. However, in today's NBA league, James has created a lot of achievements that are difficult to break through, and even comparable to Jordan in some achievements, especially since they both won the NBA championship at the age of 35, which has further established James' status in the league!

To say that James and Jordan are better in the end, you can see one or two through comparison. First of all, in the 35-year-old championship game, Jordan's record was an average of points per game, 4 rebounds, assists, 43% shooting rate from the field, and 30% from three-point range; In the championship game, James's record is average points, rebounds, assists, shooting 60% from the field and 42% from three-point range.

Judging from the numbers alone, Jordan's average results per game are better, but other than that, James is stronger, so they have their own characteristics, and it is not completely certain that Jordan's limelight can overshadow James.

Today's James is 36 years old, and Jordan of the same age has gone downhill, but James's form has been surprising, and fans prefer to believe that James can play until he is 40 years old, and by that time, James will definitely be able to surpass the records of many stars. And the reason why we are more bullish on Jordan may be because of preconceived conventions, but there is no denying the talent and unparalleled creativity of the younger James!

If you look at the data panel at the age of 35, Jordan's data at the age of 35 is better than James's, but Jordan began to decline after the age of 35, and James is still at the peak of his body, and netizens can play until he is 40 years old.

James averaged points, rebounds, assists, and shot 60% from the field and 42% from three-point range in this game. Jordan averaged only 4 rebounds and assists per game that year, shooting only 43% from the field and 30% from three-point range. Except for the points per game, James has far surpassed Jordan in other points.

In terms of on-court performance, James has surpassed Jordan.

Jordan, Jordan was in better shape at the time, and he could get very good individual honors, and at this age, what James can get is such an achievement as an all-time total score.

Both won the championship at the age of 35, who is stronger Jordan or James? After comparison, it was found that someone was overrated! The Lakers' championship in 2020 allowed the 35-year-old James to win another championship ring.

Also won the championship at the age of 35, there is also the basketball god - Michael Jordan. They both won at the age of 35, so who is better? Let's look at the Lakers in 2020 first, with Anthony Davis as a big killer to help, James doesn't have to play as hard as he did in previous years.

Due to the epidemic, the Lakers' Bradley was absent, and other teams also had players absent, many of whom were still main players.

This made many fans unhappy and felt that this season was very boring to watch. The Lakers' biggest opponent, the Clippers, has two superstars, Leonard and Paul George, but unfortunately upset the Nuggets and had no choice but to make it to the next round. With their tenacity and Jimmy Butler's amazing performance, the Heat went all the way to the Finals, but they were also sleepy, and there was a big gap between them and the Lakers, and it was even more difficult to defeat the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Heat lightly and won the championship.

On the other hand, the 35-year-old Jordan is already at the end of his career, and the players in the Bulls are already old. Pippen is 33 years old, and Rodman is 37 years old. Pippen, Rodman and head coach Zen have all expired under contract, which is also a huge challenge for the Bulls.

Eventually, after deliberation, the group was able to stay in the bull. The lineup has not changed, but the core of the team, Rodman, has declined seriously, averaging only 3 points per game, and is no longer one of the Big Three, which puts more on Jordan's shoulders. Even more difficult, the Utah Jazz with Karl Malone and Stockcaton in the finals, Jordan played an average of 40 minutes per game, and finally won the O'Brien Cup after six hard-fought games.

In comparison, James's championship last year was somewhat overrated, this championship was relatively easy, and Jordan's championship was more golden. If you compare James' 2016 championship with Jordan's last championship, there is no doubt that James' 2016 championship is more valuable. And the championship of the same 35-year-old is Jordan better.

Jordan is a little stronger. Jordan once played basketball and set many world records, and no one has been able to break his record so far. And Jordan's personality is particularly relatable.

Jordan, Jordan's statistics at the time were better, averaging 35 points per game, and he also led the team to win the championship, Jordan's dominance was stronger, and James was also good, but there was still a gap with Jordan.

In contrast, Jordan is a little stronger. Jordan has great physical qualities. He's explosive on the pitch.

In the 2019-20 NBA regular season, James ushered in the 17th season of his career, and also spent his 35th birthday, James averaged points, rebounds, assists and steals per game, including 12th in the league in points per game, 1st in the league in assists per game, and at the same time, James led the Lakers to 47-13 and ranked 1st in the West. It has to be said that as a 35-year-old veteran, James' performance is admirable enough.

So the question is, as the greatest player in NBA history and often compared to James, how did Jordan perform at the age of 35? Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, and spent his 35th birthday in the 1997-98 season, which was also the last season after Jordan's first comeback. The Bulls have had a big crisis this season, with the relationship between coach Phil Jackson and manager Klaus broken, Pippen and the team locked in a stalemate over contract extensions, and most importantly, Pippen has only played in 44 games this season due to a back injury.

It can be said that whether it is internal or external troubles, the Bulls are in a very dangerous state.

In this case, Jordan stepped up and played all 82 regular season games, averaging points per game and being named the NBA scoring champion for the 10th time. At the same time, he also averaged rebounds and assists per game, and under his leadership, the Bulls achieved a league-best record of 62 wins and 20 losses (tied with the Jazz) In the playoffs, Jordan led the Bulls to eliminate the Nets and Hornets in a row, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers in 7 games! In the Finals, Jordan and the Bulls once again welcomed the old rival Jazz, and in Game 6, Jordan made a steal at the last minute and staged what is arguably the greatest killer shot in NBA history, the Bulls 4:

defeated the Jazz in 2, Jordan completed the second consecutive championship in his career! It is worth mentioning that Jordan won the All-Star MVP, the regular season MVP, and the Finals MVP that season!

I have to say that no matter from which point of view, Jordan is the first person in NBA history. But objectively speaking, comparing the 35-year-old Jordan with the 35-year-old James is also a little "unfair" for James. Even counting the 1994-95 season, which returned halfway through, the 1997-98 season was only Jordan's 13th season.

James is different, as he was selected to the NBA as a high school student, and this season is already his 17th season. In terms of the level of wear and tear on the body, Jordan is far inferior to James. But either way, both of them are great, and James is still creating his own legend.
