How would Lebron and Jordan fare with these two roster swaps?

Lebron has this lineup: 95-96 bulls roster

Pippen All NBA first team All NBA defensive 1st team
Rodman Won the rebounding title, All NBA defensive 1st team
Harper
Longley

Bench:
Kukoc 6th man of the year
Kerr 2nd in the league in 3pt %
Wennington
Buechler
Randy Brown

Coach:
Phil Jackson Coach of the year

What changes with Lebron on this team rather than Jordan? It's tough to improve on 72-10 and championship, but does Lebron do as well with this team?

Now Jordan has the 08-09 Cavs roster

Ilgauskas
Wallace
West
Williams

Bench:
Varejo
Sczerbiak
Smith
Pavlovic
Gibson

Coach: Mike Brown Coach of the year. They went 66-16 and lost in the Conference finals.

What changes with Jordan on this team? Does he get them to the finals? Does he do as well with this team as Lebron did?

Jordan does better than LeBron did.

LeBron doesn't do as well as Jordan did.

Bulls go 75-5, sweep the playoffs.

Cavs miss the playoffs.

Jordan doesn't complain after every foul, that's for sure.

Jordan would have fought all his Cavalier teammates. Bulls would have gone 82-0, then 4-4-4

I say there is no way in hell Jordan gets as much out of the Cavs team as Lebron did. He probably would have averaged 45 pts, but they barely make the playoffs IMHO.

Lebron does at least as well as Jordan with that roster.

Totally srs.

Jordan nearly got the Bulls to the Finals in the late 80s. They were WAY worse than LBJ's Cavs. And the East was infinitely better at that time (two all-time great dynasties in Boston and Detroit, plus Cleveland was very good)

You don't think Jordan could get them past the Orlando Magic?

Jordan leaves cavs in offseason after first round exit
Lebron wins 8 straight titles due to not being banned from the league for being a shitty person.

against the same EC Lebron was going up against half of his career as a Cavalier, i think Jordan actually keeps his team in championship contention alot more often than Lebron did..

Outside of Varejao,Wallace and Williams that team blows hard.

For all of gilberts bitching they could've put a better roster than that somehow.

Also left out the fact that the east was literally the worst it had ever been at that point.

Contrast with Jordan's early years when the east was the toughest it had ever been
