- Jordan has 6 MVPS and 6 Finals MVP , LeBron has 4, Jordan has 1 Defensive Player of the Year, LeBron does has ZERO, Jordan was All-NBA First Team 10 times and All-Defensive First Team 9 times. LeBron made All-NBA First Team 13 times but only made All-Defensive First Team 5 times. Jordan holds the record for most Scoring Titles with 10, while LeBron only has 1.
- Jordan has a better win percentage, 706-366, a 65.9% win rate, LeBron’s record 894-472, 65.4%. Jordan also has a higher efficiency rating, and a lower turnover avg–in other words, he was a smarter player.
- Jordan and his Bulls squad has the second highest win record in NBA history going 72-10 during the 1995-96 season, and it took 20 years for another team to break that record by 1
- Back in the early 90s, the Detroit Pistons came up with something to stop MJ, called the Jordan Rules. “As soon as he steps in the paint, hit him.”, that is what John Sally, a former Pistons player who played against Jordan said about the Jordan rules. In general the whole league back then was grittier and more physical, but even though Jordan was getting beat up, he still prevailed
- Jordan during his time with the Bulls only had 3 Hall of Famers, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Toni Kukoč, meanwhile LeBron has played with countless Allstars, 2 current Hall of Famers, and a number of future Hall of Famers
- Jordan did all of this in less seasons, he played in only 13 seasons while LeBron has played in his 18th season, going on to 19th season
- Jordans Eastern Conference was a lot stronger than LeBron’s. Even though LeBron is currently playing in the Western Conference, he was part of the East for 15 years, and in those 15 years, the Western Conference was stronger and better than the East.
- Jordan has scored over 3,000 points in a season, he and Wilt Chamberlain (who did it 3 times) are the only players to do that
- Jordan has more memorable moments then LeBron James–(“The Shot” 1 and 2, his game winners against Utah, etc.)
