I just want to say, i really hate all these LeBron or Jordan talk. As great as LeBron is, and he is GREAT, he's no Michael Jordan. There really is no comparison lol. I was old enough to watch Jordan play, there is no comparison.

They shouldn't be compared. It's fine to argue who is the greatest of all time (Bill Russell), but it's always going to come down to personal opinion. Unfortunately, we can't have a time travel NBA league, made up of teams consisting of the greatest players of all time in their prime (although would be awesome). Even then you'd have arguments about whose surrounded by better teammates.
They are both the best players to play their position, and were both the undisputed best player in the world for pretty much a decade."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

It's really hard to compare as both play different styles. Lebron is more like Magic Johnson than Jordan. IMO however, heading to South Beach to team up with Wade and Bosh ended the discussion between the greatness of Jordan and Lebron. Jordan also lost early in his career and had to get through the Celtics and Pistons before becoming a winner. Lebron had to deal with the Pistons, Spurs, Celtics, and Magic in Cleveland - I thought had he stayed, and had other players come to Cleveland instead of him leaving, he would be winning at least 1 ring anyways as the Celtics and Lakers were getting old.
Jordan's Bulls teams only had Pippen as the 2nd all-star. Most were role players (Kukoc is good but he's not like a Dirk Nowitzki/Gasol or Bosh; Rodman is a HOF but he's pretty much a defender and rebounder).
To make the story short, Lebron heading to South Beach cost him the chance to be the GOAT. However, he can be/will probably be the 2nd best player ever.
