For me it comes down to the watered down 90s. His finals opponents were not the same teams as modern Spurs or Warriors. LeBron has certainly benefited from a watered down East Conference since the big 3 left Boston, but overall the league has more competition than it did in the 90s.
Maybe it was because I grew up in the 80s, but I always considered Magic and Bird better players where as Jordan was the most superior athlete. LeBron is a mix of both.
