PostScoring.
L.J is known for his 6 ft wide shoulders with which he uses to chuck up his baby hook shots and execute his low post spins with some sort of regular success. That is 1 shot made for every 3 air balls. Mark Jackson is known for his 6 ft wide ass with which he uses to push opposition guards into the paint until he is close enough to put up the patented 'tear drop'. Also with some sort of regular success. That is 1 shot made for every 3 that is blocked.
Score. Johnson 4 draws Jackson 4.
Passing.
This is one area where Mark Jackson is far superior than Larry Johnson. Jackson can come up with some excellent passes which is indicative of his 8.0 apg. What he loses points on is the lack of style he throws those 8 assists with. Jackson is the only guy in the league that can make a look away behind the back dish for a power slam look like a netball chest pass. Totally lacking in flair. But that doesn't mean that L.J is better, not by any means. L.J is the
most one dimensional player in the league today. Johnson does a great impression of the human black hole. The ball goes into him on the low blocks and it is never seen again by his
teammates until the next possession.
Score. Johnson 2 defeats Jackson 6.
Rebounding.
L.J gets only the rebounds where the ball falls into his lap. He is void of all abilities to get more that 3 inches up in the air for rebounds due to his lack of a vertical which seemed to disappear overnight after he suffered a dibilitating back injury. Therefore getting any sort of contested rebounds are pretty much impossible for him. Jackson, in the foot steps of his counterpart L.J also possesses an amazing 3 inch vertical jump. Coupled with being 6 ft 3 inches, he is unable to grab any rebounds at all.
Score. Jackson 1 defeats Johnson 3.
Shooting.
Both of these guys think they are some sort of sharp shooter. Both love to bomb away long range without any consideration to the demoralising effect it has on the rest of the team. To see their shots barely draw air is just too much to bare! Johnson has somehow fluked several good shooting games, we think mainly because he was possessed by Bernard King.( total hog, a Dominique wilkins wannabe ) Jackson's shooting game can at times even make Bruce Bowen embarrassed. Not only are his shots ugly, his two handed shooting style is also one of the worst in the league.
Score. Jackson 1 defeats Johnson 3.

Johnson 14/50 draws Jackson 14/50
TieBreak - BattleOfTheSigns
L.J has the patented 'L' which looks like that he is trying to support his elbow as if it has unhinged itself from the rest of his arm. Jackson has the + or X and skips like a silly donkey while doing it. L.J wins because he was stupid enough to think of doing it first.
Larry is the Champion. L for victory? Huh! What the F#$@.
