Nawwwww. Lebron would jump out the gym on MJ. scrawny guy playing with plebs

Jordan would have Lebron flopping all over the court, faking cramps, crying for phantom fouls to be called and begging to come to the Bulls because he would never ever be able to beat the greatest of all time.

Lebron is 6'8 260 and you're not allowed to touch him. He's a bull in a China shop. But he's not the best ever. Sure he has the most points in playoff history. He's played a million games and they all go 6 or 7 games Minus this years road there. Did more losing in the finals than winning so who cares about points? Can't even win half of the finals you've played in but yet you wanna say you're the goat?

I mean we are talking two different eras of basketball players and overall athletes. Lebron >

You are right about the eras. When MJ played, you could close line someone coming down the lane with no ramifications. That was basketball. Rules have allowed for more offense. Lebron is an all time top player, no doubt. MJ is as well, and it's difficult comparing the eras. I grew up with MJ, and that is who I would favor.

Wait, making the NBA finals over a third of the time in your career is some kind of negative?

It is a shame that their careers didn't overlap to at least have a little taste of how they would look against similar competition. The huge difference between Lebron's era and Jordan's era is the physicality of the game. Lebron would have had all of the tools to make it in Jordan's era but weak physicality and mental make-up would have kept him from being an elite player in the Jordan era. Would he adapt to be a more physical player and take the contact? Maybe. But he sure hasn't shown it with his crybaby antics which to me makes him a very frustrating player to watch. I think MJ's game would be very translatable and he would still be the elite MJ in this era.
