Put Lebron in the NBA when MJ played. Way more physical and nobody cried to the refs, they just looked for there chance to get you back on a following play. Now put MJ in the NBA when Lebron played!

Don't care. Jordan got the best whistle of any player who ever laced em up.In 2004-2005, the NBA amended their rules to strictly enforce handchecking.
Lebron is bigger, faster, more explosive than MJ.
I have to agree with the dukie unfortunately. I don't think Jordan would be able to stop him.
That show sucks...also, Jay is correct. LeBron would kill MJ one on one.
LBJ has passed MJ as the GOAT. People still hanging onto MJ need to accept it. And, this is coming from a HUGE MJ fan.
Does MJ lose two finals when he's surrounded by Bosh/Wade like LeBron did? MJ = 6/6 when it mattered most.
I mean I’m the biggest Jordan honk ever but you take Lebron and put him in those Bulls teams and they win more games. Can’t say the same for putting Jordan on these Cavs teams.
One on one... eh. Tough to call.
FAIL

That was my point. Lebron is better than MJ (I believe) in 5 on 5Not many assists in a one-on-one game.
This was solidified for me during last season's Finals in Game 4 when LeBron deferred to Korver when the season was literally on the line. Was it the right basketball play? Probably. Was it a winning basketball play? Obviously not... Jordan doesn't pass in that situation, and Jordan would gladly shove the knife in Stephanie & Co. because HE WOULD HAVE EITHER SCORED, GOT TO THE LINE, OR BOTH...LeBron, not so much.
Y'all really just make up shit to fit your Jordan-was-a-sociopath fetishes.
Nice try.... was the season/finals on the line in either of those situations? Nope... at worst, finals would be tied if the role player doesn't make the shot, not going down a virtually insurmountable 3-1 deficit like LeBron was content to chance with Korver in the corner. Hell, LeBron was chastised by Kobe for not not nuttin' up for a game winner in a freakin' All-Star game, LOL!!! Again, LBJ made the right basketball play, but not a winning basketball play.
Like I said, when it came nut-cuttin' time, Jordan's resume speaks for itself, LeBron's not so much.
well yes, except for all of the examples that disprove your completely arbitrary theory, it's 100% accurate.

You chose to bring out the Kerr and Paxson examples... I pointed out that there wasn't nearly as much riding on those shots when MJ deferred as to when LBJ deferred.
LBJ, Wade and Bosh lost the Finals in 6 games to Nowitzki and a stable of role prayers and a washed-up Jason Kidd. A Jordan-led Finals team ain't losing to the Fighting Dirk Digglers, LOL!
Lebron’s size would impact his ability to score at will. MJ’s athletic ability would allow him to get his shots off because of his speed and elevation. LeBron has been in the the last 7 finals - with little support from Cleveland. Jordan had more of a team around him to showcase his skills....LeBron’s strength is a default element, imo....
You can have LeBron 1 on 1 and I’ll take Jordan in the Finals......
List for us the guys Jordan lost to three times in the first round. Or twice in the conference semifinals. Or twice in the conference finals.
How many of them are as good historically as Dirk?
Also that 73 win Warriors team that LeBron beat would have blistered the Bulls because open threes beat fadeaway twos.
Someone send that Dukie to the short bus for even thinking that.
And that's really the point imo. I think LeBron is a top 2-5 player of all time, but Jordan is GOAT. I like LeBron and hate Jordan btw. I' taking Jordan in the playoffs no questions asked.
Why? LeBron has more points, more assists, more rebounds, more game winners, more finals appearances, less first round losses, etc.

To be fair, Lebron has played 50 more games than Jordan (which is almost 30% more). Lebron also never played a team with more than 44 wins in the first round, until he played this Pacers team. Jordan scored 49 and 63.....and lost both games. I like Lebron, but don't just go on mere numbers, when one has played much more than the other. In the first part of Kareem's career, they only had three rounds, and not four.
Because LeBron won more earlier in his career and didn't take two years off to play baseball. If he had quit for two seasons folks would crucify him for not loving the game or having competitive drive

I disagree on that one brother. I trust MJ to do whatever it takes to win. It would be a fun fun thing to watch though, right?Could Lebron beat Jordan? Sure. He has the size and speed to beat him, but DOMINATE?? I think not. Lebron is better than Jordan was, because of his combination of size, strength and speed. Lebron being greater than Jordan is still up for debate. I think out 10, Lebron wins 6.
