Can be argued to no end either way. But in the most simplistic view possible, I think most people agree with the following summary:

Better pure SCORER: Jordan
More CLUTCH player: Jordan

Better OVERALL basketball player: LeBron

jordan and mj comparison is media hype. they play nothing like each other. if i had a choice between the two i go with lebron for his genetics. i dont buy the talk that lebron cant step up when it matters, and i know he has the same drive jordan has.

Jordan never would have called Malone and Barkley and ask them to team up. While Jordan was working to win rings, James was takin his talents to South Beach. Lebron is a Bitch.

It is fodder for those that need comparison , fill space. Both marvelous players . Lebron was fantastic in the 4th when needed. Damn . Spurs up 5 with Approx., 30 sec left , glory 30 seconds away !! Gotta love sport .

Jordan didn't have to call anyone because he had Pippen and Grant; he also took the same kind of crap as LeBron until he won his first title.

yeah really...Crazy to hear someone like Magic Johnson who is 55 years old and been around the NBA for 35 years say he has never seen anything like that.

Just goes to show when you think you've seen everything....

Magic said he would be shocked if the Spurs were able to recover and win game 7 but it's tough to say how they respond. I think LeBron will definitely guard Parker a lot earlier in the game and it will be on SA to adjust. Can't imagine SA gets out with a win without Duncan coming up huge...

The stats don't show Jordan is more clutch than LeBron.

Clutch is a subjective term, it depends how you would define it.

I would definitely rather have the ball in MJs (and Kobe) hands in the final mins of a must win game over LeBron though. That is pretty clear to me...

Those driving lanes get very congested and you have to make contested/tough jumpers late in games against championship caliber defense. This is LeBron's one weakness is he has struggled to do that as well as other NBA great perimeter players.

exactly. people always need to compare others. jordan is who he is, lebron is who he is. i take lebron's skill set over jordan's. doesnt mean jordan is better or worse. it means i take lebron's skill set over jordan's.
