Jordan gets a pass for too much stuff. No one wants to talk about the pre-Scottie years when they went 1-9 in the first round. No one seems to remember he didn't make an ECF until expansion watered down the east in 88 with Charlotte and Miami and 89 with Orlando.

I don't care if Jordan made the playoffs those first few years when they went 38-44, 30-52 and 40-42 while making the playoffs. Jordan making the playoff is seen as some accomplishment those first few years.

It ultimately comes down to what people think of in the best player. Jordan shot the ball a lot. Jordan led the league in shots per season 9 seasons and one season shot it 2279 times (27.8 shots a game). LeBron has never led the league in shots per season with only one season over 1700. LeBron has had 10 season with 500+ assists. Jordan got over 500 twice. James is better from 3 point range while Jordan is better from the line.

If you pick the most memorable play for each, Jordan's will always come on the offense end while IMO James may be the chase down block last on Iggy.
