In my opinion I feel like Michael Jordan is better than Lebron James but James is very close and here’s why. First Michael Jordan first started out on Chicago bulls which he quickly emerged to be a league star and was known to be one of the best defensive players of his time. He was getting known for his famous dunks and his stats. Jordan was averaging 30.1 points for 4 seasons.
Jordan had 5 mvp with the most mvps of all time and with 6 titles to his name. Micheal Jordan also got 5 times the most valuable player when he was playing in the league. He was also A 10 time scoring All Nba first team. He made people really known for his time and I think basketball has changed a lot because he did a lot of that changing to the league.
Micheal Jordan in his whole career had 32,292 points and for rebounds he had 6,672 and his assist was 5,633 for his whole career. Now why I say Lebron is not better is because his stats are lower than Michael Jordan. Lebron James is a four time champion and A 4x NBA Finals Mvp. Lebron did break the scoring record which is 48,177 for all time. Michael Jordan Averages more points than him. In 15 seasons he had 30.1 point while lebron had 27.2 in 20 seasons. If Micheal Jordan played longer than lebron did he would’ve already broken the scoring record for most points and probably would have still hold the record of lebron James. Lebron James is still in his 40’s and still playing basketball strong till this take.
What I think lebron does have on Michael Jordan is his strength and work ethic that he has that is still making him go this for 23 seasons straight. Lebron James and Michael Jordan are both really great at playing. Micheal Jordan is The first to do it. Lebron growing up even used to watch Micheal Jordan as A kid and inspire him to become one of the greatest in the league right now. Micheal Jordan has made a lot of kid games better just by watching how he plays and one of those kids was lebron James.
Micheal Jordan Also had A good mindset about Defensive. He said “The best defender was also playing and always on the court.” Because the defense wins the game and once you play like that you are always going to be touching the ball just like how he did. I also feel like they played more rough back then so it was way more harder for Jordan to score the ball and move all around than Lebron because he is more athletic than Micheal Jordan but it just made it harder for him to score and get the stats that he has now. This is why I Think Micheal Jordan is better than Lebron of all time but lebron is second best.
