Comparison and Similarity of Major Old and New School Players in the NBA

Kawhi Leonard & Scottie Pippen

Let's start with the defensive aspect, part of the game in which only elite players stand out, because to be in the highest level of the defensive teams in the NBA you have to work hard, Leonard and Pippen have many similarities in their game and that is that from the great defense they play take their game to the highest level, are fierce players in defense.

Even though Pippen didn't win the NBA defensive prize he was known for his great defense, Leonard has won the prize for two consecutive seasons in 2015 and 2016.

And it's not only in their defensive play that Pippen and Leonard look alike, they are very versatile and dynamic players who attack the hoop in their offense, they are players with great jumping power, and there's no doubt in their minds when it comes to knocking a ball in the face of their opponents.

The resemblance between Leonard and Pippen is more than evident and the resemblance they have in their game is incredible.

Magic Johnson & LeBron James

Many fans compare LeBron to Michael Jordan but I think the comparison is not the best one, James' game is more like Magic Johnson's game than Jordan's game. The explanation can also be very evident: James' passing instinct is innate and has been appropriate throughout his career, many fans criticize him because many times instead of going to the basket he passes the ball to feed some of his teammates, and that instead of being a mistake as many think is a great merit.

And that's where we can compare the similarities between Magic and LeBron 2 tall players for their position very good ball pins, although LeBron has diversified a lot because he can play all positions, Magic in his time could also do it many times, even though he was the base of the Lakers, he could also post and play as a forward.

Of course Magic had a magical touch in his passes, that's why he earned that name, it was spectacular to see him pass the ball in transition, from there they built the showtime in the Lakers.

I think the similarity between Magic and LeBron is more conducive to two tall players who have a good command of the ball, but who not only hurt you by scoring, but are also excellent ball pins with great vision on the court and also do a lot of damage in offense.
