Lebron has the greatest career. Jordan was the best player.

Two things can be true at once.

It's hard to argue that Lebron's career isn't the greatest career in the NBA.

Having said that, had Jordan not taken years off to play baseball, perhaps this is a different conversation.

Keep trying. There has to be some way to keep reconciling all these overwhelming stats as MJ loyalists try to deflect it away.

LeBron is just better. He's simply the best.

I think Jordan is the best but if anything I would argue this the other way around. Jordan had a better career with all the titles and accolades but Lebron was the better player with him dragging those otherwise terrible Cavs teams to 4 straight finals.

Lol it's ridiculous how little credit people give Kyrie for 2016 when he was arguably the best player on the court at times. Also, the Cavs don't win if he doesn't hit the shot over Curry.

MJ loyalist always point to 6-0.

They fail to mention that MJ had more hall of fame teammates in every finals than his opponents. When he didn't he got swept in the first round.

Lebron only had more hall of fame teammates or projected hall of fame teammates in their prime once in 10 finals appearances. That was the championship with the Lakers vs. The Heat.

Lebron has actually three times beaten a team with more hall of famers in Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Golden State.

Lost to Dallas, who had the same as the Heat, lost to San Antonio twice who had more, and Golden State three times who had more.

Championships are a team accomplishment. 6 out of 6 times MJ had the better team than his opponents. Take MJ off the Bulls and the opponents best player and the Bulls still win 6 titles

Do the same with Lebron and his teams don't win the four he has. No way Cleveland beats Golden State even if Lebron and Curry don't play.

Less rings, less MVPs

He did play longer though.

First just not true.

1991 Lakers had Divac, Worthy and Johnson. Mike had Pippen.

But to you would really take Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc over Stockton Malone?
