The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate in basketball is eternal. LeBron and MJ have a legion of supporters, each with their own statistics and achievements to defend.
Let's start with the basics.
PPG: MJ 30.1, LeBron 27.
Career Points: MJ 32,292, LeBron 41,623.
Now let's look at what not many people don't.
Turnovers: MJ 2.7, LeBron 3.5.
FT%: MJ 83.5, LeBron 73.6.
PER: MJ 27.9, LeBron 27.
+/-: MJ 9.2, LeBron 8.6
Let's take a look at some playoff stats.
Playoffs PPG: MJ 33.4, LeBron 28.4.
Rebounds: MJ 6.4, LeBron 9.
3PT%: MJ 33.2, LeBron 33.2.
Now let's look at rewards.
Championships: MJ 6, LeBron 4
MVPS: MJ 5, LeBron 4
Finals MVP: MJ 6, LeBron 4
All Star: MJ 11, LeBron 21
All Defense: MJ 9, LeBron 6
Scoring Titles: MJ 10, LeBron 1
Now that we have some stats we can use them to decide the G.O.A.T. Based on who is better at every stat MJ would win, 10 to 4. BUT it is more complicated than this. Because MJ played most of his games with Scottie Pippen while Lebron played most with Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
In their rookie season MJ made all NBA 2nd team, Rookie of the year, also had 3rd highest points per game in the NBA. LeBron James was the rookie of the year and was on the all rookie first team. In their age 40 seasons MJ had 22.4pts 7.2reb 3.2 ast. Lebron had 22pts 7reb 7ast.
During their respective primes MJ averaged 33pts 7reb 6ast.during that span he won 3 mvps, 3 nba finals mvp, 1 dpoy, 6 scoring titles, LeBron averaged 28pts 8reb 7ast. In that span he won 2 mvps, 2 finals mvp.
If you translate mj in today's game he would have averaged about 30pts 7reb 5ast.
This makes me believe that mj is the goat. But to back it up more when you talk to a kobe, wilt, shaq, magic, larry bird fans and told them mj was the goat they would be like “i can see that” then move on with there day but if you tell lebron fans mj is the goat they would be breathing down your neck about it for their whole life.
That's why I believe mj is the goat. Thanks for reading my article!
The 2025 super bowl was a very interesting one with both the Chiefs and Eagles, there were a lot of different things going on during it. Our paragraphs will be first the Chiefs, second the Eagles, and the third the halftime show by Kendrick Lamar.
First the Chiefs, the Chiefs in recent history have been unstoppable playing in the past 5 out of 6 with only missing 2022 and starting in 2020. In those past 6 they beat the 49ers in 2020, then lost in 2021 to Tom Brady, then missed it in 2022, won in 2023 and 2024 to lose this year.
Now, the Eagles. The Eagles lost to the Chiefs back in 2023 and won this year. People have considered this to be a conspiracy because they lost to the Patriots then beat them and now they beat the Chiefs after losing to them. Lots of people were hoping that the Eagles won because of the hate that is happening on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and just that not that many people like the chiefs.
Finally, the halftime show from Kendrick Lamar. The Halftime show was the best part of the superbowl. This show was electric because of the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. This made this show electric and fun. We all wanted to not see each other because this ended the beef and accused Drake of crazy stuff which showed how Kendrick won.
To summarize this super bowl was one of the best but not because of the game mostly because of the halftime show, all of the hype in the halftime show really made this one a good one but also made it a very interesting one considering all of the beef and backstory being a part of it.
Basketball wasn't always the way it is now in the 21st century. People didn't always use hoops with nets, so let me tell you what basketball was like in its early days, who created it, and how different it is now from back then and now.
Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith who lived in New England. James created basketball because he wanted an indoor game that his students could play during the cold weather in New England. The way he found the idea was he saw a two peach basket and a soccer ball and that you would shoot the ball into the peach basket. To get the ball up there it was easy but to get it down was way harder. They had to get a ladder and take the ball from the peach basket because back then there wasn't a hole at the bottom or a net.
Some ways basketball is different from then and now is that at the start of basketball in 1891 there was no rule on how many players there could be. Then later they tested 50 players on the court at the same time but found out it was difficult so they changed the maximum number of players that could be on the court to 5 players from each side. The positions of the players were the point guard that was who would bring the ball down court and pass to teammates and is a major role player. One player for reference is Stephen Curry who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Next is the shooting guard for reference, Klay Thompson who plays for the Dallas mavericks. After shooting guard is the power forward who is the person that is near the rim and helps get rebounds and tim duncan who played for . Then comes a small forward who does mid-range shots. After all those players comes a major position that is called center, centers get rebounds and are always in the paint. Initially for substitutions players couldn't get subbed out and go back in the game after, then later in 1920 they could join the game after being subbed out once, then later in 1934 they allowed them to go in twice after being subbed, finally in 1945 the rule was changed to where players could rejoin the game an unlimited number of times.
In conclusion basketball has changed over the years from once just a fun school game with a ball and 2 peach baskets to now being a worldwide phenomenal sport that is rated top five in the world.
WHY COLLEGE FOOTBALL 25 IS BETTER THAN MADDEN 25
By Brady Taylor
Let's start from the top. College football 25 has 134 different teams to play as they come from all around u.s and in different divisions like Big 10, Big 12, SEC, and many more. Also these teams have different overalls there are teams that are low overall and higher overall and there's 150 different playbooks. To play offense or defense with a realistic road to glory mode where you play as your own player and go to a school of your choice and try to win a national championship. And you can play as your favorite team, in online head to head and try to win as many games as you can.
While on the other hand madden 25 has only 32 teams to play as and the same of 32 playbooks. you can do career mode just as CFB25 (college football 25) but it's not as realistic as CFB25 cause they make it way more fun to upgrade your player like actually having to train to upgrade them unlike how in Madden 25 they just award you upgrade points when you finish a game in madden 25 you don't do any practices but in college football you do practices and when u finish them they give you coach trust which lets you pick a play to do while in a drive on the field. In conclusion college football 25 is a better game than madden 25 considering as it has extra content than madden 25.
There are many types of ways to curve a bowling ball. It takes skill to be consistent but it’s not as hard as you think. All you wanna do is you could hold it however you want and when you swing back and before you throw it you shift your wrist so your palm is facing left of you. Whether you bowl 2 handed or 1 handed, left or right you're going to shift your wrist no matter what. Practice this and you will be more consistent in curving.
When bowling 2 handed you want to kind of interlock your 3 fingers (left pointer, middle and ring finger) with your 2 pointer and middle finger. When 2 handed bowling you only use the top 2 holes because bowling 2 handed does not involve your thumb. Doing that will help you curve and rotate your ball. Bowling 2 handed is much easier than 1 handed for some people because bowling 2 handed you have more strength and you get more help. When you curve the ball 2 handed you want to shift your wrist but also when the ball releases you want to kind of flick your fingers so it gets that good rotation. These steps will help improve your 2 handed bowling performance and you will be more consistent.
When bowling one handed it uses more strength because you don’t have much holding the ball. It is a lot of work for your wrist but some people have a lot of strength and can do 1 handed very easily. When curving the ball for 1 handed bowling it’s kind of like how you bowl regularly straight but you shift your wrist and face your palm to the left or if you are a lefty then you shift your palm to the right. When curving the ball you want your thumb to release before your pointer and middle finger release from the ball. These steps will help improve your one handed bowling performance and you will be more consistent.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to win the NBA finals this year. They can do it all with their new starting lineup: PG Mike Conley, SG Anthony Edwards, SF Jaden McDaniels, PF Julias Randle, and C Rudy Gobert. Also, Donte DiVincenzo, Naz Reid, Rob Dillingham, Tarrence Shannon Jr, Joe Ingles, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, are off the bench.
Last season, the Timberwolves were 56-26. They were one game away from being the one seed but ended up being the third seed in the playoffs. The Timberwolves swept the Phoenix Suns four games to zero in the first round. Fun fact: The Timberwolves never beat the Suns this regular season.
In the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Timberwolves faced the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets. The Timberwolves took the first two games on the road, then lost three straight at home. They won game six by 45 points and forced a game seven, which was the most-watched game of the NBA season. They fell by twenty points at halftime, came back, and took the lead. They lost a couple of really close games and fell to 0-3. We could not get any defense on the Dallas star players Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić. And in game four the Timberwolves dominated the Mavericks and the Timberwolves fans gained hope. But in game five we were back to lackluster offense defense and bad shots. Even though the game ended in a loss the Timberwolves left winning and proving they are a championship contender, Exciting the fans for a fun ride.
Then, for the first time in 20 years, the Timberwolves made it to the Western Conference Finals but couldn't get any farther. They lost a couple of really close games, and after five games, they were eliminated.
And this year is for us and we will win it all.
