Higher winning percentage than both the Cavs after LeBron left the first time and the Heat after he left.
Face it, Jordan just doesn't measure up.
Oh and watch this lol.
You think LeBron would get shut down by 6'1", 180lb Gary Payton? Lol
Yeah I remember when they lost that series
And I remember when Jordan only scored 8 points in an NBA finals game

It's like talking to a Flat Earther at this point. Not sure if an evidence based discussion is going to convince a person who is so emotionally invested in his belief.
All terrible points if your task is to assess an individual players talent.
Alas, it is seemingly the only "evidence" your camp has been able to use the past 2 pages.
Le sigh...
His team this year wasn't as good as Bulls and got swept therefore he is the GOAT or something
You realize the only evidence you've posted in favor of Jordan is the number of Finals wins the Bulls achieved while he was on the roster?
I've given you 9 pieces of evidence that favor LeBron. All of which are more indicative of individual talent level than your team award.
They also claim to provide proof when they have done no such thing
Right. "Proof" that when examined, fails scrutiny.
Kind of like assessing a players talent based on how well his team performs.
There isn't concrete proof one way or the other. Please pay attention to the kind of discussion we're having, lol. There's simply a body of evidence that points overwhelmingly in favor of LeBron.
You're just not looking hard enough. Hell, I think Jordan was the greatest of all time, but I can make a solid case for LeBron as GOAT that is hard to rebut. All you have to do is define GOAT as "Greatest of After Two thousand".
Sunset is trolling, but I have to agree LBJ is a better player than Jordan in terms of raw talent. There is no way Jordan can bulldoze his way, defend, grab 10+ rebounds and hit long shots like LBJ. James can basically do everything, except maybe tip-offs against centres, ad his FT % isn't great.
Everything else is top notch.
However, in terms of teamplay, being a crybaby, outing teammates in front of millions of people, Jordan has more class and despite taking a million shots like James, he knows how to use his teammates, while James basically takes the ball and tells everyone else to get out of the way and take a backseat, and hang around the perimeter taking 20 ft jumpers.
Jordan knew when to hog the ball taking shots and when to let Pippen do his thing, and let defenders like Grant and Longley get rebounds.
James reminds me of Westbrook. Both ultra talented, but trying to do too much. These guys are players who can play F and G, yet are all over the court also trying to play as C.

They definitely need more to contend in that conference. He can’t carry a team against those teams anymore.
The East are celebrating. Now anyone has a shot to make the Finals, and them get their brains beat in from whoever survives the West.

Jordan was a better team player? What?
He shot more shots on a lower percentage. Couldn't defend half the players LeBron could. Wasn't near the passer or rebounder that LeBron was. Didn't have the BB IQ that LeBron does.
Jordan wasn't the teammate that LeBron is. He punched Steve Kerr, got Doug Colin's fired, quit his team two times by leaving the league, partied into the early morning hours at the detriment of his game and teammates.
When Jordan retired the first time, Chicago won two fewer games the next year. Let's find out how many games Cleveland wins next year.
Westbrook is nothing like LeBron. Westbrook has always been a net negative defender with a super low IQ and unbelievably selfish offensive player. Three things directly opposite of LeBron. Their only similarities are the fact that they're both superhumans athleticly.
Note:. I'm sorry if your post was intended as a joke. I am very sensitive to this issue.
