A Few More Jordan vs. LeBron Facts

Jordan's career-low points in an NBA Finals game: 22 (Game 4 vs. Utah in '97, Game 6 vs. Seattle in '96). LeBron had 8 points last night.

Jordan's first 8 career Finals games: Never scored less than 28 points (held under 30 just twice) and held under 50% shooting just twice. LeBron is yet to score 25 or more points in a Finals game, and has shot over 50% just twice.

Jordan's record through 8 career Finals games: 6-2. LeBron is the polar opposite: 2-6.

Jordan only once took fewer than 16 shots in a Finals game (Game 3 vs. Utah in '98). LeBron is yet to take more than 16 shots in a game in the 2011 Finals.

Unfortunately, I can't find 4th quarter numbers on Basketball Reference. But I'm sure they would be in Jordan's favor as well.

Any more questions? Mr. Pippen? And for those making the comparison that LeBron is the Pippen to Wade's Jordan.......Scottie had already won 3 rings before he finished with less than double figures in a Finals game.

A picture really can be worth 1,000 words sometimes.
