everyone wants to compare LBJ vs MJ

do you know why MJ is the GOAT...the will to win, period

LBJ will go down as top 5 player of all time yes, but he is NO Michael Jordan

Can you quantify this "will." How do you know who had more or less will? Did MJ show a lot of will to win when he decided to play minor league baseball?

No I don't think so.

Jordan wanted to win above everything else. His teammates feared him, other teams hated him. Jordan is the Goat because of his achievements in the NBA. His record, rings, MVP speak for themselves. His impact on global basketball and Nike speak for themselves.

Lebron could end up being the GOAT NBA player, but he has a lot of catching up to do. But globally I don't think he has a chance at being who MJ was/is.

That may be because he's too nice, and doesn't quite have the killer instinct that MJ had. He has one, because we see it when he takes games over and no one can stop him, I just don't personally believe it is as strong as MJ's was. MJ's was so strong, that people hated him. The only person who hates Lebron is Joakim Noah.
