MJ the GOAT, but that's a pretty strange flex when LBJ is having such a season. The team isn't good, but nor were the Wizards teams or Kobe's last Lakers...they were awful.
But just as single players:
James:
26.2 PER
30 PPG
59% eFG
6 APG
8 RPG
Jordan:
19.3 PER
20 PPG
45% eFG
4 APG
6 RPG
Jordan's year before, when he was 38, was about the same as when he was 39-40. One could reasonably argue the time away from basketball hurt him. But he was "just ok" at 38-40 years of age. I'd also add that training, nutrition, etc is on a different level than back then, Brady another example. LBJ is still a year away from that bracket. We'll see how he's able to handle his late, late 30s. History says we'll see a subtle and then sudden decline unless he can replicate what Brady's done into his early-mid 40s.
