Let's try this:
THBT LeBron James is, on balance, a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.

What's the proof on that?

LeBron James's statistics indicate that "LeBron is a more efficient player, shooting better from two and three-point range. LeBron is also a much better passer and rebounder than Jordan ever was." Thus, on balance, the statistics indicate that overall, LeBron James is a better player than Michael Jordan. He has also played significantly longer than Michael Jordan, while continuing to perform at an elite level.

LeBron James is also more "clutch" than Michael Jordan. In sports this is "the phenomenon of athletes under pressure or "in the clutch", usually in the last minute of a game, to summon strength, concentration and whatever else necessary to succeed, to perform well, and perhaps change the outcome of the game." Statistical analysis reveals that:

LeBron is much more clutch than Jordan. When the two smelled blood and had a chance to eliminate their opponents, LeBron wins 1.6% more often. When their backs are against the wall, LeBron wins 16.7% more often. Jordan only improved slightly in a few categories when facing elimination.

Thus, my argument is that LeBron James, considering everything, is the player you would rather have on your team if you had to choose one.

Round 3

If the two were to play one one one, would you choose the one that won regardless of the two to be on your team to be a winning team?

If you choose the one that loses because of their professional game statistics, would those stats explain why they lost that time or even in the games to come ?

See stats can't measure everything.

Some individuals are just the greatest of all time in spite of losses.

So to reiterate to let it resonate.

If the two were to play one on one, would you choose the one that won regardless of the two?

How exactly does this relate to my arguments? Extend.
I have shown that, on balance, LeBron James is the better basketball player, I am not sure what con's hypothetical has to do with the resolution.

Reason:

Con offered absolutely zero arguments other than that on the day the two 1v1 each other, MJ may win.

Pro argues that efficiency and endurance both in their career and even literal endurance to clutch victories as they have energy and effectiveness late into a match, makes tbe type of player LB James is superior to the one MJ was, statistically.
