I understand why Kobe gets that rep, I respect his game, but I don’t know why MJ is known as a “killer” when LeBron isn’t. MJ has 0 career ejections, 52 career techs, and 2 career flagrants. Meanwhile, LeBron as 2 career ejections, 90 career techs, and 8 career flagrants. He had a career high of 10 techs in one season, whereas MJ at his best only had 5. LeBron is much more dangerous on the court than MJ ever was, and is more likely to bite when provoked. MJ just barked, and had to recruit guys like Rodman to do his biting for him. LeBron did his own biting when pushed far enough, which is rare since he’s a scarier dog anyways.

Kobe was a true killer though. Bro was out for blood every night. He has 7 career ejections, 196 techs, and 9 flagrants.

    Here’s the thing, “killer” and “scary” are pretty subjective terms that could mean different things to different people. One person might say “killer” is someone who never lets his foot off the gas, while someone else might say “killer” is someone who is clutch. You seem to be using a definition that uses ejections, techs, and flagrants as a measurement, which is a new one for me
