It's a testament to his ability that he was able to literally carry the Chicago Bulls to six championships.
You mean the guy that averaged 11.4 assists per game in the Bulls first championship vs. Los Angeles?
(Lebron averaged 7.4 in the finals this year.)

How many of Jordan's games have you ever watched? Starting roughly when?

Jordan is 6 for 6 in NBA Championships series, so LBJ will never do that in his lifetime. LBJ will flop, MJ will not flop. LBJ made himself, MJ made Paxson and Kerr. LBJ will control the game, MJ will dominate the game. LBJ is superior, MJ is supremacy. LBJ is hurt, will commit to the game, MJ is hurt, will start the game. LBJ frightens opponents, MJ scares opponents. LBJ will celebrate to his fans, MJ will celebrate in your face. LBJ talks like a smart basketball player, MJ talks like a businessman. LBJ owns Thunder, MJ owns the Cavs, Knicks, Reggie, David Stern.

Hands LeBron is the better "athlete." The guy can play any position. His leaping ability, passing, and physical strength are tops.

The better basketball player is Jordan. Jordan was smarter, understood the game, played harder. Jordan was cut throat, cold when the ball game was on the line. In the clutch and championship games, no one is better than Jordan.

If they played one on one, Jordan's desire to win would be the deciding factor.

Default No, Lebron not worthy of mention

LeBron is big and overpowers, but MJ had it all. Sean Kemp was a better athlete than LeBron.

Frankly, until LeBron completes his career, I don't think he should even be mentioned in the same sentence with MJ. He's not worthy.

Wake me up when Lebron finishes a finals with averages of:

31.2pts
6.6 rebs
11.4 asssists
2.8 steals
1.4 blocks

While shooting 56% from the field.

More athletic is a crock of crap.

I don't know if he is a better athlete, but for the sake of any future team he may coach or own, I hope he is better at management than Michael Jordan.

Jordans vert was 48" Lebrons vert is 44". This is well documented as is the fact that his vertical reach was about 1-2" less than Lebron so no....Lebron does not have superior leaping ability.

Just throwing some data in the mix.
