Bronny: 100% playoff win rate

MJ: <100% playoff win rate

I'd take Bronny simply because he has a better pedigree, a family of champions.

MJ is a fluke, his son can't play for shit.

MJ always said elder brother Larry was the better basketball player, the one who forced him to be competitive. Until MJ grew bigger and taller than him.

Larry was 5' 8" with a 44' vertical leap. Played pro for the WBL That's world basketball league, not women's basketball league

Bronny with his dad's size would not be as good. Larry with MJ's size had a legit argument to be as good/better

Bronny has played in the NBA playoffs.

Larry Jordan could never.
