Lebron is a better passer than Jordan. The rest of it's true.

Passing and sliiightly more efficient scorer. Defense is arguable as well, as LBJ can defend more positions. Maybe a wash. But MJ wins overall for his playoff performances and being clutch. Regular season in and regular season out, it is equal, but MJ closed things out and that is where he finds the small margin for GOAT status imo.

Yes, some will bring up lesser competition, which is true in the 80s and 90s, but really can't blame MJ for playing who he played. It is what it is.

1v1 would be dead even imo. Mj more agile, lbj has size. LBJ better from 3. But LBJ's passing and post defense advantage would be marginalized and mj would sky around. Would be awesome to watch.

I was talking to my dad today about how it felt like Butch always coached tight in big games and that that led to some losses that should've been wins (OU, Florida a few times, etc.). Pruitt doesn't seem like the type of guy who coaches tight. When you think about how close this program was to breaking out in 2015-16, I wish we could plop Pruitt down with those teams and see what he could do.

I think the scoring efficiency is at best a wash if Jordan was playing in a era where he had to shoot more 3s. I'm assuming he'd be a 38%-40% shooter with more volume off greatness alone. MJ was a perennial defensive player of the year. He couldn't guard five positions or have those big chase down blocks like Lebron but I think he was a better defender for what he could do.

I think MJ scorches Lebron 1v1. A team of 5 Lebrons beats 5 Jordan's due to versatility, size, and willingness to distribute. Especially if we were playing by today's rules where LBJ could sag off the ball and clog the lane.
