People seem to always forget Jordan only played 12 seasons, minus the charity seasons with the Wizard. LeBron has already played 14 seasons in the NBA, and is now starting to eclipse the playoff records set by LeBron. And he's likely got more than 5 years left in him, the earliest of those still being at his peak, physicality-wise.
Now if Jordan had done the same, or played as long as LeBron will, his attempts to sit upon the top would be much harder, if not impossible to reach.
IMHO, I can't go for that. Every time LeBron comes up short, there's always some reason/excuse why. But when he wins, he gets all the credit, hands down.
Look at last years finals, for example. The "LeBroners" (as it's been dubbed), were already trying to discount it because it was the "greatest team in NBA history", then after he won in 7 Games, they tried to flip it to LeBron carrying his team and bringing home a title to Cleveland, despite the fact that Draymond Green's antics + Steph Curry being injured played a huge part into it.
And yes, I know this GS team is a monster. Last year's team was too, that didn't stop the same flip flopping.
