Jordan vs. Lebron Debate

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

My thoughts:
Jordan is better scorer
Lebron is better team player

Different era
Different competition

Is it really fair to argue for it? I think if they went 1 on 1, Jordan would win 3/5 times

I say is it really fair considering how different the NBA is. Not that I think Jordan is better by a long shot.

There is no debate to be had.

My take is simple: Jordan, at both their perspective peaks, was a slightly better player than LeBron. LeBron has had the greater career.

I'd take Kareem over both.

Kareem was the best player in the league for a solid decade. He won 6 MVPs and could have easily had 2 more. He won 6 NBA titles as a contributor. He was the best player on 4 title teams. He made 11 NBA Finals. He was a top 5 NBA player for 17 years. He was an elite playoff performer. He's also the greatest college player of all time.

Russell has a GOAT case too. Although Kareem's offensive capabilities triple what Russell could do.
