What's interesting is that both players had their best statistical playoffs during years they failed to even reach the Finals, and James actually comes out ahead by quite a bit despite playing 109 fewer minutes
LeBron 14 games (580 minutes) vs Jordan 17 games (689 minutes)
Which years are you referring to? It seems like Jordan's best year was in 1991...
Where is Kobe Bryant?
Jordan and it isn't even really close for me either.
Lebron is obviously great and I think top 3 at worst but I just don't put much stock into the longevity argument I mean does anyone really doubt MJ wouldn't have an even more stacked trophy case had he played straight through until 2001 or 2002?
Plus it isn't like Lebron's teams are contenders at this stage of his career, it seems he just stat padding even with superstars on his teams he still missing the playoffs.
You’re a Jordansexual then.Its Jordan, no matter what Bronsexuals try to say.
Teammate argument gets way overused. FWIW Jordan never had one average over 22 PPG in the NBA finals.... LeBrons had 3. Bron also has more teammates in the NBA Top 75 than Jordan does.
You’re a Jordansexual then.
And a Bronphobic.

Finals
Jordan (35 games/1506 minutes)
43 MPG, 33.6 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, 48.1 FG%, 9.1 FTA, 80.6 FT%
James (55 games/2337 minutes)
42.5 MPG, 28.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks, 48.4 FG%, 7.1 FTA, 73.1 FT%
The question being posed is "who was better?", not "who was greater?", so the outcome of games is entirely irrelevant
Jordan may very well have been better than LeBron, but it's not because his teams have a better record in the playoffs, or Finals, or because he has more awards, or scoring titles, etc...
Which player brought more on-court value to their respective teams?
Everything else need not apply
