The gap is very obvious! James left the team, his old club won 30 games less and Jordan 2 games!

NBA Mavericks boss Cuban's comments on James and Jordan once again caused heated debate. His point was that Jordan would not lead a bad team to change his fate, but James could! So is his point of view correct?

First of all, let's talk about it off topic. Both James and Jordan are very strong, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to compare these two people. In terms of rankings of major NBA media, many people usually put Jordan first and James second. In the previous 75 major selections, this is also the ranking. In short, just one sentence, both of them are very strong. Just as the fans said, Jordan is the highest mountain and James is the longest river.

For today's topic, Cuban compared the two from another perspective, and let's take a look at his point of view first.

First, Jordan and James have completely different styles, and it is difficult to compare them together.

Second, if a team is already strong and needs a killer, then choose Jordan.

Third, if a team generally wants to enter the finals, then choose James.

Judging from Cuban's speech, Jordan is more suitable to end the game as a scorer, and James has a stronger ability to lead the team. So is this the truth? Well, we use data to compare.

Now look at James, when a team has him or not, what changes will the team's record change?

1. James left the Cavaliers for the first time in 2010. Before leaving, the Cavaliers had a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, ranking first in the league. After leaving, the team's record became 19 wins and 63 losses, ranking last in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers' winning numbers decreased by 42 games, and the Cavaliers even won three No. 1 picks in a row.

2. In 2014, James left the Heat. Before leaving, the Heat had a record of 54 wins and 28 losses. After leaving, the Heat had a record of 37 wins and 45 losses. The Heat won 17 less games.

3. In 2018, James left the Cavaliers for the second time. Before leaving, the Cavaliers had a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. After leaving, the Cavaliers had a record of 19 wins and 63 losses, and the number of winnings decreased by a full 31 games.

Based on the above data, when James was not available, his old club won 30 games less each year on average. This data is already very exaggerated. James' role in a team was immediate.

After watching James, let's take a look at Jordan's situation. Jordan did not change teams in his career. The main time was to retire when he retired to play baseball. Before leaving the Bulls, his record was 57 wins and 25 losses, and after leaving, he had a record of 55 wins and 27 losses. The Bulls won 2 games less.

Another time was that Jordan retired in the 1998 season. Before retirement, the Bulls had a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. After retirement, the Bulls had a record of 13 wins and 37 losses. Of course, this time with Jordan's retirement, Pippen, Rodman, and Phil Jackson all left the Bulls, and the Bulls had completely entered reconstruction. To be precise, this time cannot be regarded as the team's record after Jordan retired!

Looking back, let's look at what Cuban said, is it right? When James was in a team, he was often ranked among the top few in the league at his peak. After he left the team, the team's strength dropped sharply, reaching an average of 30 games, directly ranking at the bottom of the league. This also proves Cuban's point of view that James can bring a bottom team to the finals. Especially the Seven Jedi Warriors, which were widely circulated back then, also proved this.

As for Jordan, after his first retirement, the Bulls only lost 2 games less. From the perspective of team record, Jordan has little impact on the Bulls. Although it does not have much impact on the record, its nature is different. You can win the championship with Jordan, but it won't work without Jordan. It also shows that Cuban's point of view is correct. Jordan is a scorer, more like a killer, and more suitable for a strong team. Jordan's final goal back then was also famous, and the God of Basketball was not a blow!

Overall, Cuban's view of James and Jordan is very accurate. James may not be able to do what Jordan can do, and Jordan may not be able to do what James can do. Both sides have reached an extreme in different aspects. There is no way to distinguish absolute superiority. If you have to distinguish superiority, then you can only say that No. 23 is the strongest!

30>2! The gap is very obvious! James left the team, his old club won 30 games less and Jordan won 2 games!
