Eh, I think either player would have adapted to the rules of the day. LeBron would have fared far better than most give him credit for in the bad boy era with that frame of his.

Lebron is never surpassing Jordan. Only someone who was too young to watch Jordan in his prime would say that. Anyone old enough to have seen Jordan knows the truth.

Jordan would have had a couple years of averaging 40+ PPG if he had played by today's rules IMO. In the late-80s/early-90s, you either tackled him in the paint or he scored. He was a whole other level of unstoppable in his prime than anything we've seen outside of Wilt (who was a big man decades ahead of his time playing against guys 4-6 inches shorter than him every single game).

In today's "breath on a guy and he gets the call" league, Jordan would have one layup or dunk after another spread out between 18-20 FTs a game.
