Michael Jordan vs LeBron James

Michael Jordan vs LeBron James. The usual opinion is that MJ is the greatest and that LeBron has potential to be better by the time his career comes to an end. However putting away all bias opinions LeBron makes a good case already that he is just as talented if not better. I am observing their skill set alone and not their awards. Before you pick a side you have to understand the simple fact that they play two different positions so you're argument is fairly pointless if the deciding factor comes down to who scores more points because assist and rebounds are just as valuable to a team. Remember this argument is completely based on skill set not player decisions or awards.

I don't think it is fair to already say that LeBron is greater because MJ did so much in this sport that it wouldn't be fair to do such a thing. However I have to pick LeBron because he brings forth a skill set that is very rare for any player to possess but especially rare for a forward to possess. At 6'8 and 250 pounds with a rumored 40+ inch vertical LeBron is a rare athletic specimen. This allows him to do things that are rarely seen in the sport. He has been clocked at running over 20 MPH while on the court according to Sports Science and when you add in his IQ level along with his size and athleticism you get a player we simply have't seen before. This argument can't easily be decided by points because both players changed the game for different reasons. MJ was amazing at taking over games with his scoring ability that is second to none. LeBron can put up an elite amount of points but is much better at getting his team involved than MJ was. I personally think they are the two greatest players of all time but I personally value rebounding and assists as much as I do points so I give the slightest edge imaginable to Lebron.

Lebron James .

James is best player in history . I observed who is best player . James consistently get double point in every category .Every games get 30point 10asist 10rebound , this mean he would play every position even center .M.J is not consistently play basket ball .He challenge baseball he want to be baseball player . But he couldn't . M.J is back in NBA . M.J is 2 way player baseball and basket .Lebron play basket only so far . He didn't challenge NFL . In my opinion M.J can't adapt high speed basket ball such as warriors doing . Lebron Used to high temp game . I want to say M.J is best player but he can't beat Lebron and other player even harden , curry . 10 decade 3 point is most important skill , but M.J is not 3 point shooter . biggest change is rule . It is different 90's , 80's .

Lebron isn't in Michael Jordan or Larry Bird's league. Hate to give you the bad news friend.

Jordan in his prime was consistently champion level, and he accomplished that despite probably being less physically endowed for dominance as James is.
